ok. i'm not saying he will be centrist. this thread addressed the idea that bush is going to be an unchecked wacko for four years.
i tried to imply that his main objectives were not social issues like gays and abortion. he wants to republicanize social security and tax laws, ho hum. my point was that no one voted for him based on those two issues; i don't recall much debate on them either. by now we know that bush and morals are like salt and pepper. but there are not obvious moral aspects attached to his stated monetary reforms.
civil unions? how is this different from kerry? evangelicals are not pleased. if civil unions grant sufficient rights, what is the point of an amendment banning marriage? maybe it's not ideal for gays, but civil unions are better than what they have now.
and what about abortion...when (and HOW) was he going to end that again? i don't see it happening under realistic circumstances. but i guess time will tell.
sure he's going to do some things that are controversial. i just don't think bush will be as evil as some people say.
