Except with tax cuts and Supreme Court justices.
Yes, tax cuts that expire. He had Congress for four years and couldn't make them permanent.
He was pushed away from Meiers remember.
It's important to know how we got here. The natural progression of the Bush eight year program is Obama. He started off as a mild conservative but in the end he spent and spent just like a liberal.
The country, and even some republicans, said "What the heck. If the leader of GOP is becoming a liberal maybe we should, too". And, so did the majority of Americans. There is no conservatism in national politics anymore. THAT is Bush's legacy. He fought against his own base on numerous occasions. Bush was part of the war of attrition against conservatism. Whether he understood what he was doing is doubtful. He had a personal agenda and basically, like Obama and his crowd, think that his agenda is what is best for America. In both cases it turns out to be the erosion of conservatism vis-a-vis politics.
And be vigilantly PRO LIFE, PRO Military, ANTI TERRORIST, PRO GUN.
But let's not waste the opportunity to bash Bush on a Rush thread.
