Define them, and show how the actions of the last republican majority and the last two republican presidencies have differed, at least with respect to over-all domestic initiatives.
Sorry, you're barking up the wrong tree.
I readily admit that a number of Bush's positions have been leftist. Creating a new entitlement and further federalizing the education system come to immediate mind.
The Republican Congress also went clean overboard in spending. Increasing the size of the central government is another leftist ideal.
But as I've looked at the timelines recently, I'm beginning to believe this was more about the loss of Gingrich and the ideals of the Class of 94 than it was about a Republican President getting elected. If you look at the specifics of where the new money was going, I doubt a Democratic President would have held the fiscal line any harder, but at least as a big-government Democrat, he would have had a much better excuse than supposed-Republican Bush.
I have positions and principles, and I apply them to everyone. A lot of Democrats just seem to move the goalposts around when their boys screw up.
