According to Ralph Reed, writing in National Review (July 12th issue), he should be given credit for his ability to work with a Democratic legislature; he signed the largest tax cut in Texas history; pushed through a parental notification bill on abortion; got a bill passed ending "social promotion" in schools; and has championed a large- scale abstinence program. He would ban partial birth abortions, and is in favor of a constitutional amendment. On gun control, although he favors criminal background checks, he opposes mandatory trigger locks. He supports SDI, and has said that he does not believe in "a new world anything". He is in favor of federal tort reform and tax relief. According to Joe Loconte, in the same issue, Bush became the first governor to issue an executive order prohibiting state agencies from snubbing or secularizing religious charities. He passed legislation promoting prison ministries, deregulating religious drug treatment programs, and allowing child- care programs (many church based) to seek private accreditation. John Miller points out that Bush ran for Congress way back in '78, and had key roles in many of his father's races, as well as making his own successful gubernatorial runs. He is not a novice campaigner. There are a couple of skeptical pieces, as well, but I am only obliged to answer your question<g>.....

to: CBurnett from: truedog It would take far too long to answer your, rather, uninformed question. Please note that I was being polite in calling it uninformed. I would suggest that you do some study on the changes he has made in Texas after the state suffered so greatly under the Democrat, liberal, and non-objective leadership of Ann Richards. The accomplishments, with a little tweaking, can easily be used to instigate similar improvements in the stature of the Country. It is true that GW is a millionaire but, he did not receive that status on a silver platter as so many of the uninformed believe, and there are so many folks here with more money than he has that what he has is not really significant.
