here's where we would disagree. I would say that the nuggets are the liberal things he has done. On Most of the big issues (missle defense, tax cuts, conservative judges, etc) He's on our side and the rats are on the other. The only important thing that Bush backtracked on was CFR.
My hot button is people who take the Either/Or view. Either Bush is very conservative, Or he is very liberal. We need to view philosophy as a percentage. No one is 100 percent conservative or liberal. Even Ronald Reagan ignored some conservative issues, and compromised on others (he agreed to two tax increases, in exchange for spending cuts.)
I never expected Bush to be 100 percentage conservative. I was expecting 70 to 80 percent. Right now, with the election plan of denying the democrats their issues. I would rate Bush at around 50 percent. And to be perfectly frank, it is far too soon to tell what type of president he will be. It takes time to judge the impact of a presidency.
Do you really call liberal things "nuggets" thrown to us? Not IMO. He is spending billions of our tax money which will be followed by tax increases. 50% is not enough for me. I can accept 70%, but, not 50%. My description of bush still stands until he proves otherwise, but, I hold no hope he will change his embracing the democrat's programs. He is, after all, a democrat.
