Delay criticizes Bush: "he has expanded government to suit his purpose"

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/14/AR2007031402179.html

<snip>

The memoir ends DeLay's reticence in criticizing President Bush. Deriding Bush's self-identification as "a compassionate conservative," DeLay asserts that "he has expanded government to suit his purpose, especially in the area of education. He may be compassionate, but he is certainly no conservative in the classic sense." He also charges that Bush has failed to stress the role of U.S. troops fighting in Iraq, adding, "typically . . . no one at the White House was listening" to his advice.

3. To be a "classic" conservative one would have to support force prostitution
and forced abortion so good ole boy abramoff can spread the wealth.

"failed to stress the role of U. S. troops in Iraq??" What the fuck does that mean?

6. DeLay was against education
And his followers are walking, talking proof that Republicans and Education don't mix.
