Oh, come on. You don't really believe Bush (and the RINOs) want to do this, do you?

privatize Social Security - This is going to end up a teeny tiny percentage of the money they piss away. Probably not enough to buy a cup of coffee for a younger person, and we're going to have to give a gallon of blood to get it.

cut the tax rates - The tax cuts are and were a joke.

appoint conservative judges - Bush's next appointment is a clinton appointee that didn't get confirmed.

rebuild our national defense - Unfortunately 9/11 will make this possible.

develop a missle defense - Probably the only constitutional thing on the list

slow the rate of gov't growth to 4% - You don't actually believe this has been done, do you?

enact school vouchers - This was gutted from the famous education bill.

No not the Rinos, Of course not. I was showing the difference between Bush and the NE Liberals. I didn't think that I needed to type "/sarcasm". Bush has taken some troubling liberal stands lately. But Bush has also taken some very conservative stands. If we are going to slam him for the bad things. We should also give him credit for the good.

Of course it's going to start small. So what! Once it starts the libs won't be able to stop it. And the amount will grow as people see how much better it is (and those FDR democrats die off.) And we should give Bush some credit for pushing it.

cut the tax rates - The tax cuts are and were a joke.

And your point is? Of course the tax cuts are a joke. But short of a magic wand, do you honestly think that Bush could have done better? Also Bush is still trying to push for more tax cuts.

appoint conservative judges - Bush's next appointment is a clinton appointee that didn't get confirmed.

Do you have a specific complaint against the appointee? Look I am very suspicious of anyone that Clinton Appointed. But some appointments are compromises. This guy might have been one of clinton's compromises. That's why I ask what's you complaint against him.

rebuild our national defense - Unfortunately 9/11 will make this possible.

Well, I think that having a strong national defense is a good thing.

develop a missle defense - Probably the only constitutional thing on the list

Let me see, a strong national defense is bad, but missle defense is good???

slow the rate of gov't growth to 4% - You don't actually believe this has been done, do you?

Yes the baseline has been changed to 4%. That's a good thing. A good thing actually happened, I'm sorry, I hope that this news does not crush your spirits. /sarcasm. The problem is that changing the baseline, does not restrain Congress from supplemental spending. But one battle does not win the war.

enact school vouchers - This was gutted from the famous education bill.

Yes,Bush lost the battle.
