Chad, are you addressing adam , or President Bush? Because, based on his domestic record so far, OUR president has given the left more that they wanted and way more than we, as conservatives wanted them to have. Granted there are a few instances where he draws a line, but it seems that even our representatives fail to toe that line in those cases (can you say senate "filibuster"?)
No, there is no dem I would vote for, and I wont PUBLICLY (I dont consider this forum of friends to be "public" discourse) denegrate W; but, he fails many tests as a true conservative.
On the whole, Bush has lived up to his pre-election image of NOT being a "right-winger", although democrats have fooled themselves into thinking that he is their vision of an extremist. Early on we waited for Bush to move from the center to the right. Except for his foreign policy (and he fails the task when it comes to Israel)he has stayed in the middle of the road.
Courier is correct ... Bush is being hypocritical when it comes to the Israeli-PLA situation. Grabbing the shiny apple of peacemaker in the Middle East has affected this president, too, and he's letting the worms eat the good apples while he spends his efforts trying to reach it. Let's hope the tree (of life) is strong enough to survive yet another misguided effort.
