I'm not sure what a new liberal-based law would have added to this, unless maybe shooting the corpses of the executed?
I look at your two arguments differently....what state has the highest ranked black and white fourth graders in math? BUSH. Hispanics are fourth in BUSH's state. What state has made the greatest GAINS in healthcare and education since replacing a previous (LIBERAL DEMOCRAT) governor? BUSH. Which governor has not turned away from one of the gravest duties in carrying out the ultimate punishment for criminals (AND, had a dramatic DECREASE in crime in the state)? BUSH.

I had to jump in this one. I live in Texas. So I get to experience all of Bush's government. Crime has decreased? What part of Texas do you live in?
Racial issues, don't get me started. As a matter of fact, one of those convicted in the dragging death of Mr. Byrd was from my hometown.
Gains in healthcare and education? Where? I see high school and middle school drop-outs everyday. Teen pregnancy is rampant.
The increase I have seen is in the number of executions and highway construction.
I don't think Bush wants to really be president, just wants to ride on Daddy's coat tails. So Bush definitely will not get my vote!
