Truth be told I often times found myself agreeing with Bush more than with the party itself.

Bush has often copped a lot of flack. I honestly could never muster the hatred for the man that many could. I think he'll be remembered as a pretty decent president seeing as the Iraq War has been won (unless revisionist left-wing historians paint is as "progressive president Obama pulls troops out of Iraq before thousands more die").

Yeah >.>;;
History books tend to be biased, even though they 'censor' the biasing... I remember learning about the Great Depression and we seemed to be taught that Hoover was horrible for using laissez-faire and Roosevelt was so great for bring socialism in... I'm not saying I don't agree, but they should give Hoover a fair chance, after-all there was not enough time to prove his tactics weren't working.

I'd say that's a bad text. Hoover didn't use laissez-faire, he endorsed the Smoot-Hawley tariff.

The oversimplified crap I learned in school was: Hoover supported laissez-fare, FDR came in and increased governmental control, the Depression was ended, the end.
*sigh* public education by left-wing teachers. Don't get me started on how biased the teaching of the Cold War was.

I liked Bush despite the Patriot Act and other things associated with the Patriot Act.
