"Bush the [Big] Spender", "Bush the Big Government Kingpin", "Bush the Snoop", "Bush the Imperialist" -- i think there are many conservatives that would agree with those points. (while some of the rest are based on the author's standard outright lies)

imperialist might be stretching it but i'd much rather have a president that is withdrawing troups from among the 100+ countries in the world that don't want/need them.

"Bush the Big Spender"

That's the kind of "spending" that conservatives love (he doesn't get it). He mentions tax cuts as spending (something tells me conservatives trust themselves more than gov't to spend their money) and money to fund a military that had been underfunded for years.

"Big Government Bush"
The new department wasn't formed until Bush was able to prevent the unions from keeping their job security in the new department. This means that some of those jobs may not be there soon. He already cut the rate of increase of all union jobs from 4.1% to 3.1%. He's also putting pressure on the appropriators in Congress to keep spending in line. This doesn't seem like big government to me.

The reason that I said no is because he repeatedly misstates interpretations as if they were facts and then attempts to use his interpretations to prove his thesis.
