When we get a TRUE conservative republican, I'll let you know.... meanwhile, you have a left-wing non-fiscal neoconservative... which should make liberals happy, since he spends like there is no tomorrow...

Cherry pick through them to your liking. There are way more than ten though and they were easily found so you're obviously not interested at all in finding anything.

I clicked on a few, and was unimpressed. No Child Left Behind? That is considered an utter failure by every teacher I know.

Hmmm, read through them and found a bunch of fluf. The ONLY thing of an substance was homeland security, the rest were failures in that they change little to nothing. While we are at it Bush was no Conservative, a borrow and spend attitude along with an utter lack of diplomatic skills and a rush into conflicts without intel is proof enough he was no conservative.

The "Health Care" link talks about Bush's accompishments in 'health around the world'. While admirable, he didn't do much of anything to help people in the US afford health care.

The republican party is defined by keeping the status quo. Therefore, you cannot come up with any true achievments, i.e. change. Well, I take that back ... Teddy Roosevelt established the National parks service, which rankled the crap out of the republican party, oh phooey, TR rankled the gray hairs out of the republican party ... he was downright lib-rul by today's standards ... between his trust busting and conservation efforts .. god i love that guy.

I picked Afghanistan and found this:
This year, Nangarhar was declared poppy-free by the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime – dropping from almost 20,000 hectares (200,000 square meters) in 2007. [quoted from site]

Unfortunately, these pop up when you Google Afghanistan and poppy production. Somebody didn't tell the truth...wonder who?

Budget management under the Bush administration was a conservative achievement? You've got to be joking.
