The reason I say Bush Bush is a "genuine" moderate is becasue the term "moderate" has been misused by the media and the left deliberately to refer to liberals. Since the term "liberal" has been discredited in the public mind, the leftist media refers to all liberals as "moderates" which they most certainly are not.

The reason I refer to Bush as a genuine "moderate" rather than a "conservative" is due to a number of issues:
signing McCain-Feingold, indicating support for an assault rifle ban, referring to Islam as a "peaceful" religion, and his apparent inability to recognize the seriousness of the border issue.

On the other hand, he most certainly not a "liberal" as his position on the Second Amendment generally, the death penalty, his foreign policy, his fiscal policies, and his attempts to rectify the social security system indicate.

The liberal left loves to abuse terms to their on advantage. Just as they refer to real liberals as "moderates", all conservatives as "extreme right wingers", they have recently taken to calling illegal aliens and illegal invaders as "immigrants".

Its all Orwellian double-speak designed to blurr distinctions and advacne their agendas.

But a real moderate like Bush is infinitely preferable to a phoney "moderate - liberal" like McCain, for instance.
