There were some issues - but he never abandoned values folks. And I miss having a President who believed in America
Like the time where Republicans controlled Congress and the Supreme Court and nothing was done about abortion?
They did successfully pass a ban on late term abortion that was then upheld by the Supreme Court by Bush's two appointees.
I would also point out that whilst the GOP had 7/9 justices, three of the seven were pro-choice (O'Connor, Stevens and Souter) until 2005. Bush also had a Democratic Senator from 2001 to 2003. I know you didn't say this, but I do remember the talk of "six years of a rubber stamp Congress" in 2006 being tossed around when it was only four.
That said, the Bush/Frist/Delay GOP was a disaster for the party and for the nation and the four years they did have total control, they did nothing but pork up the joint and let Iraq slip into chaos.
Technically it was "six years of a rubber stamp Senate" because even when Democrats controlled it in 2001-2003, Tom Daschle was a pushover.
Plus they had Democratic Senators like Breaux, Hollings, Cleland, and Miller.
