These were the words to describe the Bush administration at a recent meeting. Was this a meeting of Liberals out to get Bush? Not at all. These were well known Conservatives.
The title of this thread is a statement by former Reagan aide Bruce Bartlett, who now has a book out called "Impostor: How George W. Bush Bankrupted America and Betrayed the Reagan Legacy"
Conservative blogger Andrew Sullivan also has a book out. Its called "The Conservative Soul: How We Lost It; How to Get It Back". Sullivan called Bush reckless, a socialist, and said Bush betrayed "almost every principle conservatism has ever stood for".
David Boaz, the Executive Vice President of the Cato Institute, blamed Bush for the Federalization of our schools, and an increase of entitlements unseen since the days of LBJ.
This was the tone of the whole event. White House officials were invited to explain themselves, but turned down the request. Gee, I wonder why? Could it be that they are not really Conservative? You betcha. These Conservatives got this administration's number.
