Bush is a liberal. thats what he meant when he said he was a “compassionate” conservative. As for what mainstream Americans want, Bush doesn’t give a damn.
Thankfully, President Bush did appoint a couple of dandy Supremes, even if he did have a Harriet Hiccup. Since that was the main reason I voted for him in 2000 and 2004, I’ll look upon that as a success.
As an added benefit, we took out Saddam and the Taliban and are working diligently to train our troops to fight terrorists within a civilian environment.
