He's a poor conservative. Medicare Drug bill? No Child Left Behind? He spends like a drunken sailor. He hasn't met a spending bill he didn't like.

Sorry bud, facts and reality matter - The reality is federal spending today as a % of the economy is lower then the past 30 year average! - Furthermore non-security related discretionary spending has been cut for 5 years straight! (that doesn't mean the Gov't doesn't spend too much on all levels...federal, State and local...but the reality is, it isn't what you are suggesting in relation to GWB).

No Child Left Behind was nothing more then the reality of the demographics of this Country and what the public was demanding (accountability of the public education system).

Medicare Drug Bill? I don't particularly like it (however GWB is pushing for overhauls in private medical accounts which will pay off in the long run) - But if the criteria is 100% approval of all policy decisions while in office... in order to be a true Conservative...then we have had NONE in our history.
