good job of summarizing Bush presidency without a reference to the single biggest historical event,

So what? This is not the point! Bush has ruined the conservative republican party. I give him plenty of credit for keeping us safe, but he was just another moderate who mollycoddled democrats. Bush spent way too much on gov't, and pursued an estrangement from conservative principles!

here’s my def of conservative: if he liberal press hates you, you’re a conservative. a second is like unto it: if you don’t jump on the elitist band wagon of the moment(in Bush’s time, 1.global warming, 2. universal health care), you’re a conservative , and willing to pay a huge price for it.
