Across the board tax cuts

...which, frankly, were dwarfed by the Reagan tax cuts. Not to mention the gimmick of tax 'rebates' and a temporary suspension of the death tax. conservative Judicial nominees on ALL Levels blah, blah, blah...

The true tests of which will occur when the SD and Mississippi abortion bans end up in front of the court.

rebuilding a strong miliary and intelligence infrastructure to protect the country.

Which is still far weaker than it was in 1985. Hard line on North Korea and Iran and other dictatorships and communist states.

No Child Left Behind, which has saved the government money, increased test grades, and improved schools nationally. And my wife is an Honors AP history teacher and has seen its positive effects first hand.

And if not for the Democrats, there would be Social Security reform, a flag burning amendment, and the amendment protecting traditional marriage, as well as a REAL border security and immigration reform bill from the Housee that ALL real conservatives support, that offers no amnesty. GOP backs that, DNC doesn't. It's that simple.

What's simple is that after 6 years of conservative rule we still have an IRS, a Department of Education, a new Federal Bureaucracy, 100000 new Muslim immmigrants a year, countless illegal mexican immigrants a year, an enormous deficit and debt, and a conservative movement that is weaker and more marginalized than it was before this president took office.

Hardly a good half decade's work.
