This was certainly America's frustration of Republicans. Had a decent moderate third party been available neither party would be in charge at the moment. However America has accepted this one party short of totalitarian government system and has only the option of giving back power to the party it fired in 1994.\n\nThe Democrats certainly have been given a gift from the gods same as the republicans in 1994. For the remainder of the Bush Administration look for them to be model citizens and solidify their power by returning back to their roots of being the party of the people. This is going to be one of the most politically active times in the beltway's history.\n\nBut should a Democrat win in 2008... expect  a lot of the same from them as we have recieved from the Republicans over the last six years.

Kerry in 2004 wasn't about to pull the troops home immediately, that seems like a relatively cooperative platform.\n\nJohn McCain in 2000 was basically pure Republican economically and pure Democrat socially, with one or two exceptions.

Bush isn't a conservative in the traditional sense but then again, what is the traditional sense anymore. Many moderate democrats like Bill Clinton were as conservative with social programs as what is called a 'conservative' Republican today.\n\nTo answer your question, there do appear to be different types of conservatives... maybe categories is a different word.\n\nCompassinate conservatism - a made-up word to win votes that supposedly meant they would not cut social programs for the poor and less fortunate yet they would apply more restrictions in order to eliminate those just wanting to bleed the system.\n\nFiscally responsible conservatism - low governmental spending is the primary goal.. kind of like a corporation trying to keep it's overheard at the bottom line. At lot of corporations that do this end up with disgruntled employees that feel resentful for working everyday and just being able to get by while their labor makes the stock holders rich.\n\nReligious/Social conservatism - This is the category Bush falls in. This group believes it has the moral authority to dictate to the rest of society how they should behave, raise their children and what society is to tolerate. Acceptance to this group is a dirty word.

Boise here has a point. In the Bush administration, the Republican party was overtaken by the neo-conservative movement. The Neo-cons are for big government, military aggression, nation-building, and a huge army. Regular conservatives like a big miliary budget, but are more fiscally responsible and less aggressive. \n\nI'm hoping that Bush has seen, though this election, that the nation will not support the Neo-Con agenda. It is anethema to both Democrats and real Conservatives. He's going to have to marginalize Cheney now and look for help in unlikely places: the Democratic party.

Pretty much nobody.\n\nThe problem with running on a "centrist" platform is that it is arbitrary.  Some people are centrist in one area, while others are centrist in others.  For this reason, you can never have a "centrist" third party.\n\nSome policies above would ensure that Republicans won't vote for your theoretical candidate (gay marriage, assisting Mexican economy), some would ensure no Democrats vote for it (treatment of criminals, abortion), so you'd end up with only a handful of people who vote purely on candidate likability without serious regard for the issues.

President Bush is one of the few political leaders who seems to make decisions based on what is right for this country and the world as opposed to the opposition who seem to push for only regaining power for their party.   What is good for this country is bad for the democratic party.

Jeb Bush, so vote socialist!

Well there are several reasons really. I think the biggest reason, is that in the 2004 election he appealed to the christian majority by focusing on gay rights and abortion, instead of on the iconomy, or on the effects of his war in Iraq. He was also able to paint John Kerry as a flip flopper. On top of all that, the majority of liberals, the ones in the news anyway, really made it seem like they're whole stance was against george Bush. They really failed to outline what they're approach would be. Basically Bush would say, "I plan to do blah blah blah" , and the people opposing him would just say "we plan to do whatever it is that he dosen't do"... Very vague...

Don't be so sure it won't be a Bush again. Brother Jeb is being touted as a possible Republican candidate. I'd say Hillary Clinton is the front-runner.

Party alignments make Democrats like Clinton and the Republicans like Bush.

Biography of President George W. Bush\n\nGeorge W. Bush is the 43rd President of the United States. He was sworn into office on January 20, 2001, re-elected on November 2, 2004, and sworn in for a second term on January 20, 2005. Prior to his Presidency, President Bush served for 6 years as the 46th Governor of the State of Texas, where he earned a reputation for bipartisanship and as a compassionate conservative who shaped public policy based on the principles of limited government, personal responsibility, strong families, and local control.\n\nPresident Bush was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut, and grew up in Midland and Houston, Texas. He received a bachelor’s degree in history from Yale University in 1968, and then served as an F-102 fighter pilot in the Texas Air National Guard. President Bush received a Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School in 1975. Following graduation, he moved back to Midland and began a career in the energy business. After working on his father’s successful 1988 Presidential campaign, President Bush assembled the group of partners who purchased the Texas Rangers baseball franchise in 1989. On November 8, 1994, President Bush was elected Governor of Texas. He became the first Governor in Texas history to be elected to consecutive 4-year terms when he was re-elected on November 3, 1998. \n\nSince becoming President of the United States in 2001, President Bush has worked with the Congress to create an ownership society and build a future of security, prosperity, and opportunity for all Americans. He signed into law tax relief that helps workers keep more of their hard-earned money, as well as the most comprehensive education reforms in a generation, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. This legislation is ushering in a new era of accountability, flexibility, local control, and more choices for parents, affirming our Nation’s fundamental belief in the promise of every child. President Bush has also worked to improve healthcare and modernize Medicare, providing the first-ever prescription drug benefit for seniors; increase homeownership, especially among minorities; conserve our environment; and increase military strength, pay, and benefits. Because President Bush believes the strength of America lies in the hearts and souls of our citizens, he has supported programs that encourage individuals to help their neighbors in need. \n\nOn the morning of September 11, 2001, terrorists attacked our Nation. Since then, President Bush has taken unprecedented steps to protect our homeland and create a world free from terror. He is grateful for the service and sacrifice of our brave men and women in uniform and their families. The President is confident that by helping build free and prosperous societies, our Nation and our friends and allies will succeed in making America more secure and the world more peaceful. \n\nPresident Bush is married to Laura Welch Bush, a former teacher and librarian, and they have twin daughters, Barbara and Jenna. The Bush family also includes two dogs, Barney and Miss Beazley, and a cat, Willie.

I personally am a Republican. Bush had (I my opinion) a good idea of sending troops into Iraq because if we didnt get in there and restore at least a little bit of order they could plot even a more disastorist event than 9/11. Although he also has his faults to. If we could elect two presidents at the same time we would be democrat/republican country. Each time having two president from two different parties. Sort of like what the Romans did and they were pretty successful. But I am just a twelve year boy explaining my opinion.

GOP:  Once again an ignorant, far right wing religious hypocrit like GWB.  Who?  Irrelevant as long as they are ignorant.\n\nDemoratic Partiy:  With Luck Obama.  Probably the best candidate to surface in years.  Also may be Gov Richardson of New Mexico.
