Yes, I do - I have called out convervatives as well.

As for the questions you wrote - others have / are saying much as I have - they questions do not represent ones that can be really answered.

I don't think Bush did, as your question suggests, a "great" job. Nor do I think he did a "terrible" job.

A third category of "other", and asking for an explanation of that answer would have been, IMO, much better.

You'd think dealing with the illegal immigration problem would have been a key part of the legislation after 9-11. But was it? No.
and it still isn't. So bash Obama for that now.

Like many of my fellow conservatives I can't pick one of the two extremes that you offered. Bush was too liberal for my tastes and spent too much, Still, I miss him dearly and would take him anyday over Obama.

Yeah, you need a middle category.

There are many things I disagree with Bush over, specifically:

He started the bail-out madness.
His handling of the illegal immigration issue.
His failure to control government spending and failing to use his line item veto powers.
His expansion of Medicare

Basically, my issue is that he wasn't fiscally conservative. I have no issue with his handling of Iraq, believing that we would have ended up in Iraq regardless of who was in office - either then or later.

I could not vote because I agreed with some things but not with others, so I can't say he was great but I can't say he was terrible either.

C. He spent like a drunken liberal, but he kept us safe and the stock market was at an all time high under his presidency. I can't participate in your poll, because it only gave all or nothing options.

You needed a scale poll, like 1-5 or 1-7. This all or nothing bs is non-scientific.

Thanks.
Kind of black and white huh? I never totally agree with or approve of anyone, so you leave me no option but to not vote.

I disagreed with so much of what Bush did as president, and agreed with some of what he did, but you did not have an option for that.
