[Reagan Man]

In historic perspective, Nixon was a better VPOTUS then he was a POTUS.

I think one day Bush43 will get credit for standing strong in the face of terrorism and for advancing a tough foreign policy agenda. Likewise, Bush will also be remembered for a failed domestic policy agenda. Spending like a liberal, expanding the federal bureaucracy and promoting a liberal policy of open borders and illegal immigration, shows how far Bush and the GOP Congress have strayed from the conservative agenda.

I agree with your thrust, but am not sure that Nixon was a better VPOTUS. Remember Eisenhower saying that given a week, he could think of something constructive Nixon did (paraphrased)? Of course that may just be Ike's personal animus.

Your assessment of Bush43 is spot on, IMO. That's why I think it more descriptive to call him Franklin Delano Bush instead of George Milhous Bush.
