IMHO, Bush is shaping up as a bad combination: he's a Fiscal Liberal (busting budgets and running deficits with the best of 'em... increasing the size of federal government and spending at three times even the Clinton rate), and a Social Conservative ("Big Daddy Government" telling people how to live, intruding into their private lives, increasing surveilence of all Americans, reducing privacy rights, wasting money on ridiculous drug war propaganda, and opposing State's rights).
When what we need is a Fiscal Conservative and a Social Libertarian to give us small government, balanced budgets and a fiscally prudent government, low and fair taxes, free trade, an end to corporate welfare and subsidies, and individual privacy rights. |
