Honestly, I'm not shocked, as I figgered Bush might be a lot like his daddy (i.e. good on foreign policy, but sorta moderate on domestic policy), but I'll admit to being disappointed. Bush is a good man, and I can't help but like him, but since I got interested in politics back during the Reagan Era, I was always drawn to the Republicans becuz I thought they understood that the Federal Leviathan was too big and too intrusive, and needed to be pared back for America to thrive. Now, it seems the GOP has lost that direction and seem to be a whole lot like the DemonRATS, minus the sleaze, scandal, and LeftWing zealotry.
To me, that is something we need to change, as America don't need two parties trying to outspend each other.
