By your responses so far can I take it that you`re a solid believer in the concept of "The lesser of two evils"? I have been trying for years now to get even one of it`s believers to HONESTLY answer a question, without obfuscation, platitudes, or adhominem attacks. If you are one of it`s adherents then please try this one on for size:

In all the years of it`s use by the "centrists" of the Republican party, what has this concept of "the lesser of two evils" done to stop, let alone reverse, the inexorable movement of America towards the left and socialism?

Now I guess having the gall to ask this some how makes me a Bush Hater and means I`m suffering from BDS, so while I`m at it let me say that given the desperate situation our Constitutional Republic is facing, I believe the ultimate test of whether a POTUS truly was a Conservative, I mean "when the rubber hits the road".

Did they reduce the size of Gubmint or grown it? Let me borrow, then modify a phrase from the left to add. If they have not reduced the Gubmint`s footprint, then they`re part of the problem and not part of the solution.

So, did Bush shrink or grow Gubmint? You tell me.

I can ask the same question about Ronald Reagan and you will have to answer that he did not shrink government.

Please pay attention to the actual words I've said, nomad. Your leaps to conclusions have sent you on the wrong path.
