Exactly, Mike.

He has governed as he said he would. Those who say he claimed to be a straight line conservative weren't listening.

Thanks for that post in #890! You are quite right!

I also don't agree with everything he has done in the domestic front, particularly the education bill. However, that is no surprise to me, since it was something he talked about all through the campaign.

I voted for President Bush because of national defense, which I knew he would be strong on. I also voted for him because I saw in his many campaign appearances that he was an honest person who really loved people and the country.

He has turned out to be better than I expected, in so many ways. I thank God every day that he is leading us through these dangerous times.

I didn't pay much attention to George W. Bush early on in his campaign for the presidency, but around March of 2000 I started paying close attention to him and I could see he was a moderate conservative. If 50 was the middle on a scale to 100, I would classify him as a 65. I have lived long enough to know that a true liberal or a true conservative will NEVER be elected in this country. The best we will ever do is have a leader who changes the general direction of the country when it comes to domestic issues. But we are extremely lucky when we have someone like Bush who changes the direction of the country while exhibiting axtrordinary leadership when it's needed most, and after 9/11 he has been an extrordinary leader
