Why the heck would I want to highlight minor negatives about Bush when I am trying to convert them from that evil party? After they stop being Dems, we can talk about that. My first priority is defeating the Dems, for crying out loud.

That you consider rampant socialism a "minor" problem speaks volumes about your "conservative" credentials.

Conservatives do not promote expansive social spending. period. end of story.

Let's promote conservatism. Let's promote the Constitution. Let's not elect those who support the expansion of the welfare state, or who support wanton fiscal irresponsibility.

Tax cuts are good. Spending cuts are better.
