I see Bush being socially conservative on one issue...abortion. I don't see providing massive handouts as being good for society in general. Now that Bush is committing billions of handouts to residents displaced by the hurrican, where's the incentive to better yourself. There will always be another government handout. For far too many they have made a career of depending on the government. GWB keeps the tradition continuing.
However, I much agree with the rest of your post. Please read my reply #2853.
