Let’s talk about his stance on illegal immigration. Do you think allowing upward of 35 million illegal aliens ( one estimate of the actually number of illegals in our nation) is going to reduce our energy needs. How about his pimping for ethanol? It is a God send to ADM but an overall energy loser and an inflation driver.
Let’s examine spending running out of control under “W” or the massive expansion of government while he’s been in office. Care to examine the Ted Kennedy, No Child Left Behind, education bill that the President passed off to his buddy Ted.
Remember Arlen Spector? “W” endorsed and campaigned for Spector instead of a conservative Republican. We can’t forget George Tenent, the CIA director that “W” carried over from the Clinton administration.
“W” is a loser for the conservative movement if not its death blow. American is better served if he resigns because he is incompetent and a not so in the closet Rockefeller Republican. In other words he’s a liberal.

Good, now some policy issues:

1) 35 million is probably way over the top, but I agree that Bush’s immigration position was to the left of mine. I like enforcing our laws. Unfortunately, enforcement was probably strong before WWI. I don’t like the new plan as much as pure enforcement, but the current system stinks.
2) I agree, Goldwater had it right, abolish farm subsidies. Unfortunately, most GOP Senators and Congressmen come from states with large Agricultural economies. Freedom to Farm was a good idea, but Clinton killed it by buying more ag votes, and the GOP responded with more subsidies. It stinks, but Bush is not the primary guilty party here.
3) As for ethanol, it is largely a temporary solution that does little to solve the problem.
4) NCLB was good before Kennedy got ahold of it. I like Newt’s idea of abolishing the Department of Education.
5) W has been good on fighting terror, despite the poor military planning in Iraq.

All in all, W has cut taxes, reduced needless regulation, fought terrorist, and supported our military. Sure, he did some RINO things like NCLB and the Medicare Drug plan with increase spending, but he doesn’t deserve to be called a liberal. If he is a liberal, then 90% of the country is liberal.
