Bush is not advocating to adopt civil unions, and is not a liberal on that issue. He is against gun control and for capital punishment (didn't he argue that Jesus supported capital punishment) and therefore can never be called a liberal. But if someone runs a smear campaign against him calling him a liberal, it is fine by me.
WOW... you totally missed my point. My point was not that Bush was a liberal on THOSE issues, just that just because he is a conservative doesn't make him extreme like Wakie was atempting to assert.
