I do not like Bush!

He is a fiscal Liberal! 30 years ago - he would NOT have been able to run as a Republican!

You can "not like" him if you want, but it is silly to think he is fiscally left of Gerald Ford, GOP candidate in 1976, or Richard Nixon, candidate in 1968 and 1972. Nixon invoked price controls to stop inflation, for heavens sake.

I hope you're not attributing "my sides" comments to me. President Bush is certainly right of Nixon and Ford. I suspect, however, that many of us here wish he would take a more fiscally conservative approach to government spending, starting with the billions of dollars of pork that has been initiated and approved by the members of our party.
