4 - appointed an aggressive diplomat to help get UN reform, appointed an excellent conservative SC judge, and nominated another good SC guy.
Unfortunately, he's also signed the McCain-Feingold campaign finance act which limited free speech and opened up the doors to financial tsunamis, signed the highway bill funding Alaskas bridge to nowhere, appointed a horseshow guy to head FEMA, and spent like a democrat.

1 - tried and failed... mostly because he just used a good PR-sounding name for an act that effectively did nothing
2 - last I heard, we haven't caught Osama yet... you know, the one who actually claimed responsibility for the attacks
3 - even if this was true... since when has welfare been a priority for republicans?
4 - the guy he appointed to the UN has had nothing but disrespectful comments to make about the organization, and people around the world thought the appointment made a mockery of the position
going along with ktsnake... just how does the expansion of the government under Bush go along with conservative values? aren't they supposed to be the ones for decentralization? but I could be wrong I guess... I'm only a poli sci major.
