Bush was a mediocrity as president who got elected because the alternative in both cases was far worse. He is no conservative and many of his actions went far to discredit his party and give Hussein the White House and the leftists control of the congress. That said - compared to the buffoon we have now Bush looks like a statesman of the first order. I was right to vote for him twice because Gore is a proven lunatic and Lurch a seditious, pompous fool.
But it sure would be nice to be able to vote for someone because I thought he/she was really the best one for the job.

BUMP
I am not so hard on Bush, he made some horrible mistakes, but I he was the best conservative the voting public would accept. And he got in but the thinnest possible of margins.
He had little political capital because of the margin of his election victory. The “public” was still too much in the “mushy middle”. We tend to forget here on FR we are preaching mostly to the choir. I think we can thank Zero, Reid & Pelosi for waking up the “public” to what's exactly at stake. We either be the USA or at best some warmed over lack luster dysfunctional version of Sweden. Worst case (which is where is possible!) would be unthinkable!

Kudos to you.
