By the same token you never refuted my note to you that Bush's huge deficit spending, nation building and tariffs are not exactly traditional "conservative" virtues. So I guess you've agreed that Clinton was more conservative than Bush.

There is a lot about Bush's fiscal policy I've not liked. But there are two aspects to a deficit -- revenue and expense. Bush's expenditures have, by necessity been up; but the revenue has been way, way down as a result of the bubble's collapse. In truth, Bush caved like a one-egg pudding on the ripoff farm and education bills. He was hoodwinked by the liberals, and I think he knows it now.

On balance, however, I'd prefer a strong leader like Bush, particularly in times of major foreign policy events, over one like Clinton, who basically sold our nations' interests out to everyone from China to the UN. Clinton was one of the three worst presidents in my lifetime (the other two being Carter and LBJ), so I really can't say anything good about him. A total scoundrel. At least we have integrity and competence with the current administration.
