"No matter that he is caving to the Democraps on virtually every domestic issue..."

Rubbish. Democrats aren't exactly big fans of Bush's national missile defense. Democrats weren't thrilled with Bush enforcing the SCOTUS "Beck" decision, either. Democrats didn't like Bush repealing Clinton's CO2 executive orders, and they certainly didn't like Bush killing OSHA's home-office "Ergonomic" regulations.

Was Bush "caving" to Democrats when he signed into law TWO tax cuts (one for individuals and a later one for businesses)?!

Well, Bush is pretty good on missile defense that is when he is not pledging to codevelop US missile defenses with the Russians so that they will no exactly how to defeat them! He would be better on missile defense if he hadn't promised the Russians in the strategic framework agreement accompanying the Treaty of Moscow that the US missile defense he envisions WILL BE TOTALLY USELESS IN DEFENDING THE US AGAINST RUSSIAN NUCLEAR ATTACK due to its limited scope. On the other hand, Bush's withdrawal from the ABM Treaty is his best accomplishment yet. Unfortunately conservative decisions like that are most definitvely the exception in this adminsitration. Bush left 99% of Clinton's radical executive orders in place, a policy decision which the liberal Democraps applauded. Bush's vaunted 2% GNP tax cut did not impress me. It would have impressed me far more if he had scrapped the hated federal income tax altogether.
