30 years? now you've given up on them?
I don't get it, and I'm rather inclined not to believe you.
Bush has lived up to all conservative expectations in so many ways.
Taxes.
Abortion.
Homeland Security and national defense.
Fought the good fight on social security. (and by the way, SS is much more of a danger to a capitalistic society than immigration. It could lead to socialism or be bankrupt if something isn't done)
I trust the man. If I don't agree with him, at least I know in my heart that he does what he does for the right reasons.
I wish all the Bush haters would just cool it for a while.
Yes...30 years and I'm giving up on them. They gave up on us. Congress is a mess.
We fought, we sent money, we called, we went door to door, we worked elections etc. and they now ignore us.
Bush has done many great things to for the conservative movement and Congress has let him down as well.
But come on, he's failed on some issues like caving to Kennedy on education (and still getting criticized for it), spending (one veto would be nice), illegal immigration, and the idea government is a tool for good.
I truly wanted to see the size of government rolled back but I also realize on every level it's getting bigger down to the cities.
And I agree about Soc Sec...he was the first to have the cajones to even grab the third rail and I will never blame him for nothing happening. That was a losing battle given the apathy of the people and the cowards in Congress. He is a brave man.
Maybe he should have said we were going to let Dubai take over the Soc Sec system and everyone would have gotten interested! lol
