Not sure what you mean. I guess you didn't read my #45 in defense of Bush.
I disagree with the author of this article, who seems to believe that increased government spending, for any purpose, is a Democrat philosophy. He calls Bush a "New Deal Democrat" for advocating such things as "hiring 40,000 baggage screeners to increases in the Border Patrol."
As I stated, this is ridiculous. Increasing the budget for our national defense has nothing to do with "New Deal"-type programs. Hiring better baggage checkers is a necessity for our safety, as opposed to advocating socialistic programs like FDR's.
On the other hand, I understand completely where the critics of Bush, on the conservative side, are coming from. In issues such as stem cell research, the ICC, and most blatantly with the CFR bill, Bush has let many of us down. In that sense, Lazamataz's joke about "I was promised a conservative President and all I got was this lousy t-shirt," was quite funny and fitting.
I think the thing to keep in mind is that there's nothing wrong with criticism of any president, when it's justified. I disagree with the camp of folks for whom Bush can do no right, and I likewise disagree with those who believe Bush can do no wrong.
The fact is, Bush is the president, I worked hard to elect him, but I can't help feeling the pangs of disappointment in some of the things that should've been no-brainers for someone who campaigned as a conservative. And I think when he does something wrong, we should all hold him to account for it. That is what government of the people is all about.
