“Bush was an elite, but NOT a liberal elite...”
He was a mixed bag (and certainly preferable to the alternative); he appointed the justices that affirmed (for the first time) the right to bear arms, he gave us “No Child Left Behind” (which exposed a lot of the nonsense in public education, and applied pressure for improvement), and raised the child tax credit. At the same time, he got us into a fake war in Iraq, gave us a MediCare prescritpion entitlement, and kept the border open for our southern neighbors.
He wasn’t perfect - no one is... But Bush was never a liberal elites - the scum of the earth.
