You mean to tell me, conservatives aren't the only ones rejecting the big government Republicanism of PresBush and the GOP Congress?
>>>>Part of the problem with Bush administration stats is that they measure from the bottom of the 2001 recession rather than from the state of the economy before the recession. The recovery from the recession has actually been very slow, even though the recession was shallow. This is because the recession has masked some very negative structural changes in the economy which counter-cyclical policy – tax cuts, increases in government spending, and money creation by the Federal Reserve – is not designed to remedy.
If it wasn't for the three Bush tax cuts, just imagine where we'd be today. Having said that, things aren't so rosey on the domestic home front. For five years, Bush and the GOP Congress have advanced an agenda that ignores the conservative policy ideas of spending reductions and limited govt. Tax cuts are great, but without some serious spending cuts to properly balance fiscal matters, the tax cuts are vulnerable to some future Democrat POTUS, maybe a GOP POTUS, coming along and eliminating those tax cuts with he stroke of a pen. Then raising taxes at his/her discretion. In fact, I remember a POTUS named Clinton who did exactly that, back when he first took office. Bush41 ignored the Reagan agenda and then we got Clinton.
FRankly, I never expected to see Bush43 spend like a liberal and rubber stamp everything the GOP Congress handed him. Bush hasn't even had one single veto in his over five years in office.
Well, understand that Bush is a Moderate, not a Conservative. He only looks like a Conservative when compared to the Democratic Party, which is so far Left that in the last election, the US Communist Party chose to support the Democratic candidate in unusual break from it's tradition of fielding it's own candidate.
Consider how the Dem's committ hate thought and hate speech routinely towards this Moderate, even Liberal in some areas, President.
Says a lot about the Dem's, nothing good btw.
