The Patriot Act passed by wide margins in both House & Senate. In 2005 it was Re-Authorized by the House 257-171 and the Seante 89-10

The 2001 tax cuts we passed with bi-partisan support. 2003 was close to party line vote (no reconciliation though).

Stem Cell Research was vetoed twice (Bush only vetoed four bills total). Here's the letter he sent to the Senate:
Message to the Senate of the United States

Let's not compare what Bush did in office to what Obama is doing. Bush did more for many liberal causes and expansion of government than Bill Clinton ever did. Bush 1 and Reagan both worked across the aisle.

Obama and the left in Congress are pushing through legislation that 60% of the country is vehemently against.

Why must you always use logic , and facts ???

I did not specify the war . The truth is , for the 10 years prior to the war ,the Clinton Admin. bombed Iraq , drafted a war act < 97 I think > and used the WMD/ Nuke threat . Al Gore stated throughout the 90's that Iraq had WMD's and ties to terror groups < all on youtube > . The FBI and CIA directors < Clintons > were on the WMD reports . France/Germany and Russia stated in the Security Council meetings they believed Iraq had WMD's.... hell Dems were stating that Rumsfeld supplied WMD's to Iraq . Iraq did have a WMD program , how far it was advanced , nobody knows , how much of a threat was Iraq to us in 2001 , don't know that either . As far as the Patriot Act .... every single American living between south NJ through Boston .... are very , very .... very lucky we had a patriot act ! Had we not had some bums like Gorelick American Thinker: Mistress of Disaster: Jamie Gorelick in our Gov't .... maybe we would have been better off to begin with .
