Government is best that governs best, under whatever the present circumstances may be.

And yes, in a way, when you spend your time illustrating what you perceive to be failures by this administration, and fail to equally recognize victories, you are carrying water for the Democrats. If you don’t believe me, watch one of their “debates” and you will hear them sound very much like you sound.

Bush has failed to…

The idea that highlighting complaints about the current administration governing like Democrats will bring about the return of disillusioned conservatives to the fold is just preposterous.

Go back and find out what Bush promised to do during his candidacy, has he done those things? Is he trying to get those things done?

I don’t recall Bush having made any campaign promises to do the things that you are disappointed in him for not having done.

Perhaps Mud, you should judge his tenure by taking stock of how he followed through on his campaign promises, taking into considerations the unexpected events in the past two years, instead of promoting disenchantment because he failed to hold up to your expectations.

If I ask to borrow your car, and promise that I will wash and wax your car before returning it, and I do as promised, you have no right to accuse me of not doing what I was supposed to do because I did not fill up the gas tank as you expected me to do.

I'm not "promoting disenchantment", I'm pointing out where he can do better...on the other hand, excuse me for getting the feeling that you and others are "promoting enchantment" for domestic policies that should be anathema for anyone who seriously considers themselves a genuine conservative. You may fool some of the groupthink denizens who presently hold sway over this Web Forum, but that doesn't change the fact that Dubyuh and the GOP-controlled Congress have increased domestic discretionary spending at a greater rate than Clinton and his DemonRAT-controlled Congress back in '92-'95. By any measure, that is indefensible for a conservative, imho.
