not in my opinion Skylar !! My big issue is immigration both legal and illegal and that started out under 'rr' and another boosh !! Real quick , USA pop was 200 million about in 1974 , today census place it at about 310 million not counting the 20 - 30 million illegals . I don't approve Skylar !! ---------------- Course I do have a plan and I encourage other Conservatives to take a look at it !!
The DW Nominate scale is a pretty objective measure of liberal or conservative leanings. And is considered the gold standard in washington. Pretty much every politician uses it.
On a scale of 0 to 1, with zero being perfectly moderate and 1 being the most extreme conservative position possible, GW scored a 0.723. Eisenhower in comparison scored a 0.302. Even Reagan scored 0.703.
GW was no moderate.
Depends on the topic.. No child left behind is not a conservative system. Endless wars in the middle east against that which we fear... yeah that's not conservative either. Just because the republicans are "for" something does not make that a conservative position.
No child left behind was a reach across the isle to Senator Kennedy to show that Bush would work with the other side..
I live in TX. I just happen to know that Bush pushed his no child left behind thing in TX first before he brought it to the federal level.

Yes this was a disaster waiting to happen, but this was the first reach across the isle to show that Bush was willing to work with the other side of the isle.
