Bush also rebuilt the Military after Clinton decimated it, gave us tax cuts (our money back), kept us safe after 9-11, went after Al kada (misspelled on purpose), stood with our allies, I go could on as well.
Bush also didn’t cause the economic collapse, liberal lending policies were the root cause, and by the way he DID try to reign in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Yep, however it is a sad to thing to say there are many people who call themselves conservative or even moderates who have fallen for the liberal spin about GW Bush.
(no he was not perfect)
Actually he didn't do much for the military. The End Troop Strengths numbers stayed the same as Slick Willies 1996 numbers. But our troops under him were deployed into two nations. Many troops seeing more deployment time in war zones than in WW2.
If you look at who W chose for Sec of Defense you would see the same Sec of Defense who initally lead us into the Hollow Carter years. I'm talking of course about Rummy who was also Sec of Def under Ford. I didn't like him then under Ford & didn't care for him as Sec of Def under Bush either. Wasn't Gates a real winner? LOL Bad choices for key positions cost Bush any military legacy.
Don't get me wrong Carter richly deserves blame for what he allowed to happen in his one term but things weren't that great when Carter took office either. Carter inheritied the walk away military lacking of morale and discipline.
The reality of George W Bush is this. If Gore had not been tied so directly to Clinton scandals Bush would have lost 2000 by a wide a margin as Dole in 1996. Why? Because like his Dad he ran as a Moderate. DEMs can do Moderate at election time and the GOP never learns.

True but you also have to remember that many of the ones Bush helped get elected to congress {Liberal friends and not Conservatives} also helped the DEMs in key votes. Bush 45 years ago would have been a Lyndon Johnson Democrat. That is how far left the GOP has gone since Reagan left the White House.
