Realism please

Some people are a little late to the party huh?

The pile on George W Bush has begun in his own club. People like George Will, Pat Buchanan, William Kristol etc are churning out opinion on Iraq and the Bush presidency as a whole. He was supposed to be the guy to return us to Reaganism again. Remember Reaganism? Secret wars, disdain for the working class, a yuppie gilded age. At least Reagan could sell his brand. Bush sold conservatism down the river and potentially into the wilderness for at least four years.

Yours truly is not a conservative on the domestic front. The people matter to me, the people that are losing once secure jobs to outsourcing and "free trade." When given a choice, conservatism always sides with the plutocrat each and every time. Conservatives want small government, no matter the cost. Progressives want government to work for people who want it. Because of the Bush presidency, both conservatives and liberals will be hard pressed to get anything they want in the coming years for the adventure of neoconservatism in Iraq has drained the governments ability to even respond to disasters at home let alone a fiscal reorganization.

Let the pile on continue.
