While I concur that Bush isn't great, he's only a temporary figurehead. In 2008 a new president will be elected (and, let's face it, he'll likely be a Republican. Democrats don't have their act together yet). Liberals will have spent their energies railing against a man who was only in power eight years, while they could have been dissecting the ideology of conservatism.<BR/><BR/>We need more books on ideology, and Dean's is a good place to start.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02956524909645097069noreply@blogger.com
