for the record I'm angry at Bush too. Like Rush I think Bush is blowing an opportunity to advance the conservative agenda.
Off the top of my head, (so I'm sure that I am missing some things) I would like to point out that Bush:
1. re-instated the Mexico City Policy (pro-life)
2. killed that stupid enviromental treaty.
3. withdrew from the anti-missle defense treaty
4. started working on missle defense
5. Is begining a process of military reform.
6. Is begining to withdrawl women from combat.
7. Did cut taxes
8. Did nominate a lot of conservative judges.
9. Did express support for Taiwan - really PO'd the Chicoms.
10. Did/has a more pro-Israel policy than clinton did.
Keep in mind that a lot of Conservative victories will be done behind the scenes. For example there is a committee in the Defense Dept for women in the military. Under Clinton it engaged and promoted radical social engineering. Not anymore, the clinton people are gone, and the committee's mission has been changed so that it cannot comment on women in the military let alone combat.
But from the looks of it is doing a switch on global warming which means he's going to enter some kind of enviromental treaty
3. withdrew from the anti-missle defense treaty
4. started working on missle defense
That's part of the same thing. Sorry only counts as one
7. Did cut taxes
Whoop de do!! And you basically had to claim it on this years taxes as income to be taxed. That's a tax cut?
8. Did nominate a lot of conservative judges.
That's a maybe but the only way to get these judges up to the floor is to elect a bunch of RINOs like Giddy Dolt, who will probably disagree with them, meaning Bush will have to go back and get more centrist judges
9. Did express support for Taiwan - really PO'd the Chicoms.
Wow, step back!! Expressed support, did he? Making a speech and some promises ten years down the line is a little weak compared to what X42 did to this nation for eight years.
10. Did/has a more pro-Israel policy than clinton did.
Exactly how has he done that? By not condemning the Israelis outright? No, as usual, just another POTUS forcing a peace treaty on the Israelis that does nothing more than hurt the Israelis
Compassionate conservatism doesn't work for me
