Bush, again in my opinion, hides behind the excuse that the country is not pro-life enough. Baloney. This country is made up of half-witted, TV-besotted fools who will follow whatever is sold to them (e.g., the success of Clinton). Instead of waiting for public opinion, he needs to get out there and sell the message, and do the right thing. Bush has no intention of being a conservative -- indeed, he doesn't even know what one is.
The sooner we conservatives recognize this, the sooner we can start turning that ship around.
Really, Did RR overturn Roe v wade? Did RR abolish the department of education? Did RR raise taxes after his first tax cut? Did RR dare to advocate partial privatization of Social Security? Didn't RR grant blanket amnesty to 3 million illegal aliens? I love Ronald Reagan but he was just a president with his heart on his sleeve just as GWB is. Ronald Reagan, just like GWB, was a politician and he made compromise after compromise with Tip O'Neil to get his signature issues passed. Don't throw Reagan up, especially to those of us that have still vivid memories of his administration.
