Not to mention going from a balanced budget to a free for all with Hastert and Frist doleing out earmarks while George W. kept his veto pen in his pocket. Bush’s compassionate conservatism was nothing but a lie.
Of course his father was the same. Appointing Souter to the Supreme Court, walking away from his “No new taxes” pledge, driving the conservative Reagan people out of his administration, and running a feckless campaign against Bill Clinton. Don’t forget Colin Powell had key roles in the administrations of both father and son Bush.
