----------------------------

President Bush may be repeating the sins of his father. Although elected on a Reaganesque, tax-cutting platform, the White House has veered to the left. President Bush has signed a bill to regulate political speech, issued protectionist taxes on imported steel and lumber, backed big-spending education and farm bills, and endorsed massive new entitlements for mental health care and prescription drugs. When the numbers are added up, in fact, it looks like President Bush is less conservative than President Clinton.

obviously the writer of this piece needs to be investigated for ties to al queda.

No, Bush is extremely far right wing. You need to do some political science reading. You really are very ignorant of the political spectrum.

(I hate to do this to a liberal gal but here goes.)


"You need to do some political science reading.

Fair enough. But then you need to do some political satire reading.

You are really very ignorant of the literary spectrum.

I recommend starting with the essay "Shooting an Elephant in My Pajamas: Humor and Colonialism."

Dictators exist on both the left and the right.

I don't think that he agrees with you.
