I do not disagree with you. Most Republican voters went gaga over compassionate conservatism. In Bush's defense, he never claimed he was a conservative. However, he did say he was a man of his words. He said he doesn't twist and bend his words. So far, he has failed to prove that.

However, he did say he was a man of his words.

Question: G.W. Bush put his hand on a Bible and swore to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States." So presumably, one would say he "gave his word" on that.

But he ALSO promised, at his nominating convention, to sign a federal law against partial birth abortion. Such a law, without question, violates the 10th Amendment to the Constitution.

So...to which of his "words" would conservatives hold Mr. Bush? His oath at his swearing in, on the Bible, to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution"? Or his promise at the Republican nominating convention?
