Thank you. This was the reason I posted this article. A true conservative like George Will gets what many people don't....Bush is not a conservative he's a neoconservative. Cutting taxes is not enough to call yourself conservative, you also have to limit the growth of government. Bush's administration has increased non-military government spending more than any previous admin. From the dept. of homeland security to the bloated farm bill, Bush has not used a single veto to reign in the spend happy congress.

Here's Will's most recent column criticizing Bush and a quote from it. Go George(Will).

"Leave aside the question of who or what failed before 9/11. But who lost his or her job because the president's 2003 State of the Union address gave currency to a fraud â?? the story of Iraq attempting to buy uranium in Niger? Or because the primary and only sufficient reason for waging pre-emptive war â?? weapons of mass destruction â?? was largely spurious? Or because postwar planning, from failure to anticipate the initial looting to today's insufficient force levels, has been botched? Failures are multiplying because of choices for which no one seems accountable."
