Bush is... was... an unbelievably popular president for his successes overseas.

He had an opportunity to use his political capital to make needed changes to our system of government.

Instead, he increased spending on everything. I can't exaggerate the magnitude of what he has done. He didn't just fail to give me everything I asked for. :) He has done his best to run in the opposite direction!

How is this not a personal failing? If I'm to accept that Bush isn't a conservative, then why even get involved? Why are you here? Why am I here?

I don't care that much about stem cells. Sorry. I guess that's supposed to make up for his very real assault on our government finances.

That's exactly how many felt about his father's Read-my-lips tax increase — until the Clintons showed us what a real tax increase looked like. You are in the process of repeating the mistakes of '92. Some people never learn. Some people put ideology over country and party. The country comes first; the parties have the power of elected office. Angry Liberals or angry Conservatives are just.....angry....and angry people don't always do the right thing.
