Who ever thought Bush was a true "conservative"?

Look at his waffling on the issue of boarder security with Mexico. Look at his rubber stamp on pork belly projects and even the Katrina aftermath. He made massive compromises that out out of character for a true lean government conservative.

The irony with Bush is that he is hated among liberals world wide, but he is himself in reality no real hard line conservative. The man who is deemed as "unilateral" by Chirac/Schroeder and Co. in reality went to the UN for yet another resolution to meet the needs of a Coalition parter GB that requested this action. He didn't need it in the first place. Furthermore the motivation for the political initiative of an additional resolution was to meet multilateral political needs. Did Reagan ask for permission in Panama, Grenada, Libya or even the arming of Afghanis to fight the Soviets? No.

I think Bush is a good President in the bigger picture, but he is not at ALL the hard line conservative which the liberals make him out to be and I wish he were.

Nixon was the same way. He wasn't very conservative with the Wage & Price Controls, the Trip To China, and Vietnamization. But he was a staunch anti-communist and they hated his guts for that.

I really don't agree with SINGLE ISSUE VOTERS on either side of this debate.

Damn was that ever a mistake.
