Bush changed his stripes when he got in office, the conservatives still love him. Actually, had it not been for his strong leadership post-9/11, I think I would have been unhappy with him. The Farm Bill was horrible, the education bill, horrible. Now we're looking at this prescription drug fiasco. And he has caved like a one-egg pudding on the judicial nominations and privatization of Social Security (SS being far and away the most important domestic problem we face). So, I have found plenty to complain about with Bush. But the most important thing for Bush is that he has taken our country back from the UN and the foreigners (after Clinton sold us out to them), and he has taken serious steps to insure that we never have a nother 9/11. All other issues are insignificant by comparison. It is really a matter of priorities. If the domestic agenda is your priority, Bush has been only moderate. If national security is your priority, I simply do not believe any other president of our time, perhaps except for Reagan, might have had the courage to do what Bush has done. Great presidents are made on their foreign policy achievements, not on their domestic achievements. Domestic "achievements" in the eyes of liberals tend to be failures in history (Social Security being the most obvious example, with Medicare a close second).
