Re: 2008 - The GOP civil war

1.) What exactly in your opinion is "right wing"? What is this attempt to tether George W. Bush's policies to that of the "right wing"? GW Bush is conservative on many issues, but I would hardly consider him as being representative of the "right wing". Government size & spending has increased far too much under his watch.

2.) In an age of ever-increasing government dependency and entitlement mentality, how exactly is what the "right wing" represents (lower taxes, a return to local & regional governance, a sensible foreign policy based on the exportation of ideals & strong private property rights) necessarily a bad thing??
