They didn’t do anything of lasting value back then, either

Bush tax cuts?

Successful funding for WOT to keep us on offense?

Partial birth abortion ban?

No value?

One huge problem with the tax cuts is that they were not due to reform, they were essentially the government "letting slide" a portion of the tax.
This mentality is eerily close to that that considers all money [wealth] to be property of the government and you have the privileged of using it; also note that because the tax system wasn't changed they can at-will change it back — it is a gift.

>Successful funding for WOT to keep us on offense?

The War on Terror is terrible for the military; here's why: There is no Victory Condition.
It is, however, a masterful work of propaganda — who wants to sit back when there's terrorism going on?

>Partial birth abortion ban?

IIUC, considering that all they have to do is not wait until the kid's being born to comply with it… yes.
Little more than feel good legislation; that there was no further push for more restrictions on abortions you can't claim it was incrementalism.

>No value?

The GOP is all talk and no action; so, no, they are of no value.

Which they failed to make permanent, IOW not of lasting value.
