You know Bush has TWO 'far' right things he is looking for.

Gay marriage ban.
Allowing government money to assist in faith based charities.

If you think the partial birth abortion ban is far right you might wanna see one.

Everything else he has done has basically been middle road, and this INCLUES Iraq, you might want check a history book, but its not as if only Republicans send people to war.

While I've seen the left lament that the Republicans have made 'the middle' seem like far left, calling Bush a 'far right' president is a joke.

A far right president would not have grossly expanded the prescription drug plan.
A far right president would not have grossly expanded spending on education.

Privatizing 2% of social security is NOT far right, its a baby step to save a system that IS GOING TO COLLASPE if things are not changed.

Reforming the tax code is not a far right idea, again its common sense. It shouldn't require an accountant to figure out what you really owe in taxes. Also the real rich like Kerry will end up paying MORE as the loopholes go bye bye.

Tort reform is not far right, like it or not the Dems are so deep into the trial lawyers pockets that they will never address this. This has been an issue for the last two decades. Lawsuits consume (not including pay offs to plaintiffs) 2.5% of our GDP. That’s double any other western republic. Its time to fix it.
