Years ago, someone coined the term "neoliberal." I was never sure what it meant, and it has since fallen into disuse, but whatever the case, I'd like to revive (and mangle) the term and apply it -- brace yourself -- to George W. Bush. He's more liberal than you might think.
You recoil, I know. After all, the conventional wisdom is that Bush is the most conservative of all presidents, an advocate of limited government, minimal taxes and, when it comes to the quintessentially liberal concern with civil liberties, the man who gave us the twin black eyes of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. It's an appalling record.

Just about everything but abortion. Thank God he has stood firm on that.
GWB is, IMHO, NOT conservative.
“I’m sick of him. His continual pimping of this hideous piece of sh!t immigration bill makes anxious for January ‘09”
Goodbye America if Bush gets his dream to come true!

Lets see......he....er......well.......he cut taxes.
I thought Bush’s first term was fantastic, but his second term has been a major letdown from the beginning. Ultimately, his big government ways and pro-illegal immigrant nonsense have caught up with him. He’s based his entire presidency on Iraq...while millions of illegals invade our borders and socialist spending and wasting skyrocket out of control.
Thanks for letting down this voter, W.
I don’t know what the hell he’s thinking. Does he honestly think this bill is a good thing? Is he too corrupt to care? Or to stupid to know any better?
Personally, I’d rather have him be pro-abortion rights if it means he’s tough on illegal aliens, national defense, trade with China, border security, SC judges, and American sovereignty.
I dont know what thinking person says anything like that anymore. And we knew he wasnt small-government from the beginning.
I agree, what’s this guy on?
Did I write the article?
Yes.
What did you guys think Bush was when Bush said he was a “Compassionate Conservative” in 2000? I knew exactly what it meant and still voted for him because the alternative was worse.
Surprising responses so far.
Do not trust the man who used the phrase “Compassionate Conservatism”.
Richard Cohen is an ultra-liberal. It’s scary as hell to see so many Freepers agreeing with him.
Was I responding to you, or to the author’s words in italics above my comment?
Having doofi like Gore and Kerry as alternatives likely got him elected.
