The first major issue I have had with Bush over the last 6 1/2 years has been his distance from being Conservative. He has rarely if ever, vetoed a single spending bill. The second problem I have/had is his joining with Teddy Kennedy and his asinine Immigration Bill, which luckiliy was defeated. Another problem is the unwillingness to give an ultimatum to the Iraqi Government to get their people ready to take control. A few of the positives (imo) include: 46 million married couples have benefited under Bush's plan that removed the marriage tax penalty! 34 million families benefited by the child tax credit increase, which was long overdue. 35 million Americans who receive dividend income, that is taxable, benefit under Bush's plan. More than half of these people are senior citizens. Basically, this plan eliminates the dividends being taxed twice. Which in turn returns 20 billion dollars to the economy! I also commend Bush for his selection of 2 fine Supreme Court selections. Bottom line is he has not been nearly as Conservative as I thought he would be, not even close!
