Bush Facing Complaints from Conservatives:
Semper Fi.
'After three years of sweeping actions in both foreign and domestic affairs, the Bush administration is facing complaints from the conservative intelligentsia that it has lost its ability to produce fresh policies,' the Washington Post reports.Frank B. says we should write in "NOTA," "None Of The Above" in November. If [when] Aaron Russo attains the Libertarian Party nomination, he will be better than a "NOTA" vote.
'The centerpiece of President Bush's foreign policy -- the effort to transform Iraq into a peaceful democracy -- has been undermined by a deadly insurrection and broadcast photos of brutality by U.S. prison guards. On the domestic side, conservatives and former administration officials say the White House policy apparatus is moribund, with policies driven by political expediency or ideological pressure rather than by facts and expertise.'
In 'Righteous Anger: The Conservative Case Against George W. Bush,' Senior Fellow Doug Bandow writes: 'Despite occasional exceptions, the Bush administration, backed by the Republican-controlled Congress, has been promoting larger government at almost every turn. Its spending policies have been irresponsible, and its trade strategies have been destructive. The president has been quite willing to sell out the national interest for perceived political gain, whether the votes sought are from seniors or farmers. The terrorist attacks of 9/11 encouraged the administration to push into law civil-liberties restrictions that should worry anyone, whether they are wielded by a Bush or a Clinton administration.'
Semper Fi.
