With the popularity Bush has due to the war on terror, he ought to be using the bully pulpit to push for conservative ideas and use the opportunity to presuade the masses why those ideas are superior. Reagan most certainly did that because he was a real conservative.
Bush is practicing the fine art of triangulation out of the Bill Clinton and Dick Morris playbook. And, if he manages to get reelected and the GOP wins the back the senate, he will keep compromising in order to maintain the GOP majority.
Bush isn't a conservative. He is a unprincipled politician without conscience that determines what position to take based on poll numbers.
absolutely! so, the question is, WHY isn't he?
