"Are Republicans running on the same exact policies of George W. Bush?"
They'd like to. But the Democrats beat them to it.
Closing the income gap?
Benefits for our veterans?
Help for the VA?
Tax breaks on the middle class while raising taxes on the wealthy?
Affordable Education?
Affordable health care?
Republicans would never run on these things and we all know it.
Ahhh... I see. You're talking about the policies they RUN on. My bad. I assumed you meant those they implemented one in office.
Democrats got health care for millions who didn't have it before.
Democrats took out Bin Laden.
Democrats took the college loans away from banks saving 60 billion over 10 years (Republicans have vowed to give it back).
Democrats have pushed bills promoting food stamps for poor children, benefits for veterans and money for the VA overwhelmed by returning veterans.
Democrats managed to get billions from BP to fix some of the damage they did and Republicans worked to protect BP even apologizing to BP.
The list is endless.
