I'm convinced, now. Karl Rove is an idiot
Excerpted from a New York Times story:
"Karl Rove, the political adviser to President Bush who recently became chief of staff for policy, said on Thursday that Mr. Bush had helped transform conservatism from 'reactionary' to 'forward looking,' in part by incorporating what had been liberal ideas on foreign policy."
No, Karl, it's called triangulation (a.k.a. political prostitution). Bush hasn't transformed anything. By masquerading as a conservative, he has managed to set the cause back ten years.
Keep on spinning, Karl. Just remember: simply because you say it, doesn't make it true.

You sound angry & bitter, my friend. Your dislike of Bush & the GOP ranks right up there with what my liberal friends are also saying about Bush & the GOP. With that said, I know you're speaking your conscience, so I respect you for that. :-)
Angry, yes. Bitter, never. I am sick and tired of George Bush and Karl Rove trying to co-opt the Reagan legacy. Every time I hear the two of them (or others, for that matter) compare Bush to Reagan it makes me almost physically ill.
George W. Bush is the most liberal Republican we have elected since Nixon. Who knows, by the end of his Presidency, Bush may out-liberal Nixon. There is no objective criteria under which Bush can be compared to Reagan. Politically, Bush is just as bad as, if not worse than, Bill Clinton. He has no core principles and utterly no respect for the Constitution. When history looks back on the Bush Presidency I am sure it will find that the years from 2000-2008 moved the United States further and faster toward totalitarian socialism than any other time period in our history.
For the life of me, I can't figure out why liberals hate Bush so much. He has done more to implement their agenda than any President, Republican or Democrat, in the last thirty years. I guess they hate him because he doesn't claim to be one of their own. Irony of ironies: the liberal agenda will comes closer to full realization in the next four years than at any other time in the last thirty, and the liberals will still be angry about it because it wasn't done by John Kerry, Howard Dean, or Dennis Kucinich.
What an odd place in which we live.
