I keep asking the question but those who criticize me won't answer so I'll try asking you. Do you agree with the excessive spending of the Bush administration, the new programs he's initiatiated and funded, and do you think he holds the the core republican values such as Reagan? Maybe you won't be as chicken as the others and answer such simple questions.

Nah, I'm not chicken :)

No, I don't support reckless spending and I hold the Republican Congress as much responsible for that as the President. So, yes, if you want to isolate one aspect of the right's agenda, he has not been a great steward. But I think you ask an unfair question. It should be asked within the context of the political realities and priorities he has faced, just as he should be measured by his entire record (national security, economy, judicial appointments, etc.).
