Zac Morgan over at Frum Forum remembers the Bush administration:
The truth is that the Republican Party has not had a conversation about the Bush years and what they mean in 2012.
Like it or not: our party was once led by a self-styled compassionate conservative who spent federal dollars to save people with HIV/AIDS in Africa, bailed out Wall Street, assailed nativism, protectionism, and isolationism, and rightfully said after Saddam Hussein was overthrown “everywhere that freedom stirs, let tyrants fear.”
I remember things a bit differently.
