The problem is that Bush is a very liberal Republican. He loves to spend money and grow government. Conservatives would rather shrink the size of the goverment and have the government spend less money.
Anyone who believes the GW is a conservative has been duped.

As I see it, we have two choices next month: a Democrat who calls himself a Republican with a few important exceptions, and a Marxist.
"Marxism:
Ideology and socioeconomic theory developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. The fundamental ideology of communism, it holds that all people are entitled to enjoy the fruits of their labour but are prevented from doing so in a capitalist economic system, which divides society into two classes: nonowning workers and nonworking owners. Marx called the resulting situation "alienation," and he said that when the workers repossessed the fruits of their labour, alienation would be overcome and class divisions would cease. The Marxist theory of history posits class struggle as history's driving force, and it sees capitalism as the most recent and most critical historical stage — most critical because at this stage the proletariat will at last arise united. The failure of the European Revolutions of 1848 and an increasing need to elaborate on Marxist theory, whose orientation is more analytical than practical, led to adaptations such as Leninism and Maoism; in the late 20th century the collapse of the Soviet Union and China's adoption of many elements of a free-market economy seemed to mark the end of Marxism as an applicable economic or governmental theory, though it is still appreciated as a critique of market capitalism and a theory of historical change. See also Communist Manifesto; dialectical materialism; socialism; Stalinism; Trotskyism."
how does this relate to any candidate for the us presidency ever?

I thought that Bush was a Republican. What's going on here?
My theory is this:
Republicans know they are dead in the water come the election. By voting this down, they hoped to screw the economy completely (so far so good!) for the democrats, so they would only last one term.
Democrats know they are ...[text shortened]... (as is surely going to be the case), then they can blame Bush for the waste of taxpayers money.
