Well, we have an article from Bruce Bartlett today comparing President Bush to former President Nixon. He references Rush Limbaughs take on this issue, which Rush presented last week, and which seems largely identical.
The argument is that Nixon was a moderate conservative who passed a lot of liberal measures. He gave us the EPA for example, and apparently he raised taxes as well. Well, conservatives are claiming that due to the education bill (passed last year sometime), and the campaign finance bill conservatives have had enough. I mean if this is what he did last year right now, imagine what he will have done last year a year from now.
Bartlett poses this fascinating question at the end of his piece. "But conservatives still need to ask themselves: to what end? Do we want another Taft or Nixon, who imposed liberal policies no Democratic president could achieve as the price for keeping a Republican in the White House? It is a question worth asking."
Indeed.
