I voted for bush mainly because I could not stomach the liberalism of either kerry or gore.
That being said Bush neds to secure the borders, stop his out of control spending and get both deficits in control.
He better stop making the WOT his prime area and focus on jobs, healthcare etc.
Many Reagan democrats are going to leave the ship if he does not.
"That being said Bush needs to secure the borders,"
Isn't it clear by now he's against that?
"stop his out of control spending and get both deficits in control."
He has always been for increased deficits and spending.
"He better stop making the WOT his prime area"
It's the only area he's got good poll numbers on.
"and focus on jobs,"
He thinks we need massive amounts of illegal aliens.
"healthcare etc."
He's for increasing the profits of drug companies, given his ban on "Canadian" drugs, and we have a free trade treaty with Canada so "safety" is made the pretext to the ban. But it's a weak argument so the corporate interests that write his legislation won't make that mistake again. CAFTA, a supposed free-trade treaty has one explicit reservation: drugs.
Medicaid/are is a great problem but those who receive the money, HMO's, doctors, etc. give a lot in campaign contributions to have caps not imposed and to dodge regulations. The prescription drug benefit plan was written by the industry to contain provisions that competitive bulk discounts could not be sought by the government.
It's a lost case. Focus on your representatives in 2006.
Everyone acts like Reagan was a fierce proponent of strict immigration laws. I don't know how old you are but do you recall Reagan's amnesty for illegals? Reagan democrats are going nowhere.

I find it interesting that you claim to be a 'Reagan Democrat' and yet you complain about GWB's deficit (Reagan's deficit still ranks as the HIGHEST IN HISTORY as % of GDP) and GWB's approach to immigration (Reagan is the President who actually granted amnesty to illegal immigrants)!
BTW: MANY posters here in Freeperland use Reagan as a benchmark for evaluating the presidency of George W Bush. Perhaps Freepers should first LEARN THE HISTORY so that they can provide an ACCURATE evaluation/comparison!!
AND BY ALL MEANS, PRESIDENT BUSH SHOULD STOP FOCUSSING ON THE WOT <sarcasm off!
