But still a democrat but not Dennis kusinich by any means.

And Bush is no Barry Goldwater. So what?

Bush Administration Announces Restructuring of Intelligence Agencies - washingtonpost.com

The Bush administration today announced a restructuring of the nation's intelligence-gathering apparatus, approving new guidelines that bolster the authority of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) as the leader of the nation's 16 spy agencies.

Well so much for Bush's Home Land Security...the road to hell is littered with Bush's failures...

Truth for a Change:

"Increasing the tyranny is Liberalism... He is a liberal Republican like his father, like Bob Dole, like Nixon ... "

You are living inside of your own bubble where you can reinvent terms like liberalism to mean everything you dislike, then it can become like a bumpersticker that you can paste on anything you want.

The problem with that is outside your little bubble, the rest of the world regaurds Bush as either conservative Republican (as he claims to be) or neo conservative (American Empire agenda).

You like to think of yourself as a conservative and dislike the thought of sharing that label with Bush. You are in denial that conservatism is indeed an umbrella for both good and bad.

And what Republican "traditional" conservatives need to do is purge their party of neo conservatives who have taken over under Bush. I would like to see a major shift away from the American Empire agenda back to disciplined spending, small government, protecting the constitution and securing our borders. Bush has failed in all four of those areas.

Right now, I don't really see anyone thinking beyond Bush's last day in office. I think it is very possible Democrats will win big in 2008 and Republicans will be agonizing over what they did wrong despite the fact it is blatantly obvious. They learned nothing from the 2006 election that turned majority control of Congress to Democrats. 2008 will be no different.

Political Affairs Magazine - Bush Tries to Push Failed Sex Ed. Policy onto Next Presidency

The Bush administration's ideologically motivated abstinence-only sex education programs don't work and may endanger young people, say opponents of the administration's latest effort to convince states to spend federal dollars on those programs.

Less than two weeks ago, the Bush administration, through the Administration for Children and Families, sent an e-mail to states touting the extension of the State Abstinence Education Grant Program. The e-mail informed states that they may now apply for funding for five years, until 2013. The new policy would change the previous one-year application process.

There you have it folks, not only is Bush's abstinence program a failure but he wants to fund five more years of it....

More Arrows Seen Pointing to a Recession - NYTimes.com

The American economy expanded more slowly than expected from April to June, the government reported Thursday, while numbers for the last three months of 2007 were revised downward to show a contraction — the first official slide backward since the last recession in 2001.

Economists construed the tepid growth in the second quarter, combined with a surge in claims for unemployment benefits, as a clear indication that the economy remains mired in the weeds of a downturn. Many said the data increased the likelihood that a recession began late last year.

Bush's stupid stimulus plan didn't work, it failed....

This is the only thing I disagree with. It is my belief that "traditional" conservatism died with Goldwater. From that day on the republican party has followed the course of telling any lie and fabricating any delusional promise to get elected. And once elected following any disasterous policy for the sole purpose of staying in power.

Rice Adviser: Iraq Invasion Was 'F*cking Stupid'

More bluntly, Kilcullen, who helped Petraeus design his 2007 counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq, called the decision to invade Iraq "stupid" -- in fact, he said "****ing stupid" -- and suggested that if policy-makers apply the manual's lessons, similar wars can be avoided in the future.

"The biggest stupid idea," Kilcullen said, "was to invade Iraq in the first place."

Yep, that's Bush, "f*cking stupid." No wonder he fails so much.

The Raw Story | Bush on China's Hu: 'I enjoy the man'

US President George W. Bush said he enjoyed good one-to-one ties with Chinese President Hu Jintao, whom he described as straightfoward and open, the South China Morning Post reported Friday.

"I enjoy the man," Bush said in an interview with the Post and other Asian press at the White House before his trip to the Beijing Olympics next week.

And as the sun sets on the morons presidency China is kicking our butt from pillar to post...

yep no bias there.
Clinton had many conservitive views. And your compelling argument shows nothing to the contrary.

Quote:

Yes, like raising taxes on the wealthy.

Right I am sure that was all he did. no other accomplishments there.

Quote:

And Bush is no Barry Goldwater. So what?

So you made my point Goldwater was a conservative. Bush is something else. A complete and utter failure. Incompetence and conservativesm are both problems but they are not the same problem.

Hahahahahahahahahaha....name them. Start with his tax policy.

It was the foundation for balancing the budget...

Who have the conservatives been voting for since Goldwater ran?

You claim Bush is something else yet the conservatives voted for him...and that's because conservatives are a fantasy.

And yet every republican the "cough cough" conservatives have voted for has turned out to be just that, a complete and utter failure...
