I am hoping that Bush's "less than conservative" policies are a result of his very narrow victory to the White House. In his efforts to keep republicans in power for at least eight years, he has reached so far across the aisle that he is indistinguishable from a moderate democrat.

A good portion of the deficit spending can be attributed to losses suffered throughout the business community after 9-11, and the resulting war on terror.

The medicare, however, is a farce, as is the excessive pork spending that he refuses to veto.

Screw the other side of the aisle. They have their agenda, he has his. He got elected POTUS on his agenda, not theirs. Good Conservatives never compromise.

Yup. This is what REALLY disappoints me about W. He signed that HUGH education bill that the Swimmer backed / penned, and now this prescription drug bill pork.

To use Tom Dascle's expression, "I am saddened. Deeply saddened;" at W's signing these pork bills. Robert KKK Byrd could not push more pork through the legislature than Porky Pig and W!

You've just about pegged out the absurdity meter with this comment.
