I don't think it's defensible using any language a conservative might understand. But I am interested in the reason why he's going nuts with this stuff. Is it because he loves big government? Is he trying to steal our freedom? Does he really think this stuff will "work"? Or has he calculated that he cannot be re-elected unless he yields to the spenders?

Because even though he is not a conservative, the Left hates him anyway. So why bother?

Yes. Yes. He probably believes that. Yes.

And, in the end... it's the men behind the curtain that matter.

.....


and today on the Rush Limbaugh show he will make that same point and so for me the question is

Why is Bush Doing it?

Yes the left will always hate him. This is for the mushy middle, which wins elections, and this is only my opinion, but he is just trying to take away the demogougic spears the left throws and the mushy middle believes.

Bush loves big government. While he was governor of Texas he grew the government of Texas more than Clinton grew the federal government in the same 8 years. According to the Wall street Journal, during Bush’s 8 years as governor he grew the state government more that every state except one. I forget which one it was that beat him, but it was a “Rust Belt” state. Bush beat California, New York, and Massachusetts in growth of state government. The man never saw a government program he didn’t want to expand.

I'm kind of wondering that myself! If he's such a socialist, as these people are squalling about, why are all these extreme leftist groups so hostile to him? They hate him with a purple passion as it is! Can the Bush-bashers on here explain that? Well, what is it? (silence, I thought so...)
