I'll link to a few for you. There all specifically about Bush, not the GOP in general. I could probably find other Republicans, or groups of Republicans I've criticized, but Bush received the most and this is enough to make my point that I'm willing to criticize Republicans.

"...and Bush is not a "small government conservative". I'm not quite sure I am actually alarmed, but I am disappointed.

Cutting taxes was a accomplishment. Unfortunately it is undermined by lack of restraint on spending."

"Nice to see a criticism of Bush here that he actually clearly deserves. One could quibble over different ways of measuring big spender, but however you measure it Bush has been a big spender so there isn't much point in breaking it all down.

Early on in his administration I gave a bit of a pass because of the aftermath of 9/11, and several other factors, but he kept being a big spender through most of his two terms, and the excuses have long since worn thin.'
