Anyone who thinks Bush is far right is naïve.
Well, he isn't fighting for the fundamentalist agenda that was dangled in front of some voters to get their vote. And he sure isn't a classical conservative going for smaller government. But the old oilman is advancing the interests of the oil companies, the pharmaceutical companies, those in the top 0.5% of wealth, etc. ... these are his core constituency.
I'm not voting in the poll - overall, I think he has been a very poor president. But when he does something good, I will support him. Just a few weeks ago, he signed the bill that (kinda) outlaws genetic discrimination - that was a good thing.
