Bush is not strident, and not extreme in either tone or policies. I think you're right. Bush always does what he does because he thinks it's the correct thing to do. He does not operate from ideology, but from a set of deeper beliefs. Most of the time, his instincts are conservative. Some times they are not. Overall, though, we are fortunate to have this man, with his set of values, in the White House, even if he isn't every Freeper's model of conservatism.

I remember saying, about this time in 2000, that the most important issue facing the nation was the election of a President who had moral and ethical values, regardless of his ideological bent. Hard-nosed conservatism can come later, but for the time, we need a man like Bush and ought to be grateful that we've got him.
