JR: you are correct in that Bush always talked being a compassionate conservative, doing things as a compassionate conservative, etc., but again, and even Rush has spoken of this, Bush is no conservative. Rush said he wasn't even a conservative. I agree with that. At most, I think Bush qualifies as a middle of the road moderate with liberal leanings. If he were not liberal leaning, how do you explain his view on illegals?? His views on making all them legal and granting amnesty is exactly what the left would do. I believe that Bush misled a lot of us with his talk, but no actions concerning conservatism. His big liberal, big government growing spending proved that. Taking out his actions on the WOT, I give Bush a big fat F as president. He has failed his oath of office to defend the USA within in not closing the borders and not stopping the flood of illegals invading the Republic. He is a big government liberal when it comes to throwing money around. And, when was the last president to sit 7 years without ever vetoing anything passed by the Congress?
What do you think of Bush's tax cuts?
Are those the actions of a big-government liberal?
Hmmm?
