". You, along with a number of others, don't appreciate how conservative this president is. "

Of course we don't. He isn't particularly "conservative".

At BEST he's a moderate.

"On abortion, gun rights,"

He said he's sign any assault weapons bill to cross his desk and his father's EO banning importations of some firearms still stands. Lukewarm at best. It was the House that allowed the AWB to sunset.

"taxes, judges,"

Meirs.

"and other issues, they don't come any more conservative."

(1) signed CFR
(2) signed NCLB
(3) Medicare Part D
(4) amnesty for illegal aliens
(5) two trillion in more debt!
(6) "religion of peace"

"Even though he's a big govt guy, I guarantee you that he's further to the right than any future president will be."

He admit he's a "bit govt guy" and you claim he's conservative? I suppose of "conservative" means "conserving the welfare state"....

When judging someone's political bent, you should look at the entire spectrum of their views. The Prez is a staunch social conservative and a major tax cutter. That makes him conservative. If he believes in spending more money on fields like education, so be it. Even conservatives must be pragmatic. According to your rationale,someone like Rudy Giuliani could could be considered a right winger if he believed in small govt and had liberal social views. Just as long as he were a " fiscal conservative", right?

And picking Miers wipes out all of the other conservative judges he selected, right? Like Janice Rogers Brown and Priscilla Owen. Like Sam Alito? Roberts? Not to mention dozens of others throughout the federal court system. Face it babe, that was the weakest part of your argument. And calling Islam a "religion of peace" is neither here nor there when assessing someone's political stripes. That was something stated for consumption in the Muslim world. After all, since we have troops in their thousands in two Muslim nations, it makes sense to reassure people of that faith that our fight isn't with their religion, but with extremists. Think about that.--Mark

So you tear down the only conservative president we will have for years to come.

Great work.

Would have been nice if you used your destructive tendencies in our fight AGAINST THE DEMOCRATS WHO WILL RUIN THIS COUNTRY you idiot.
