Reply #34: The article could not be more wrong.

Bush used conservatism to forward his agenda. Bush is indeed incompetent because of the absolutely undeniable selfish, single-mindedness that has characterized his entire career. Bin Laden is on the loose because of Bush's incompetence. We have a hole in the ground in New York for that same reason. The invasion of Iraq is a result of incompetence not only on Bush's part but also the politicians who are now saying that they didn't know better at the time even though there were protests worldwide.

The article also overlooks the fact that the Bush administration has done more to destroy itself and the cause of conservatism than any of its enemies could have ever possibly hoped. Bush has set the conservative movement back by easily more than a hundred years and it is very likely it will not survive the next two decades.
