He had this for two years. That's why I say Reagan had a Dem congress for "most of his presidency."
Bush has been as conservative as Reagan
Both Bush's have betrayed core Republican constituencies. Reagan didn't.
If anyone "betrayed" conservatism, it was Reagan, who did not attempt to scale down government, ever; and who never once attempted to stop abortion with a single ex. o.
Nor did he privatize any federal jobs. From those perspectives, this Bush is in actual accomplishments, not rhetoric been more conservative.
