How exactly are today's Republican candidates that much different from Bush?

Question

They run from him because they know most Americans do not like or respect the job Bush is doing running the country.

But, how exactly, are they that different then him?

They support the same stay the course strategy on Iraq.

They support his tax cuts and huge increases in defense and security spending, and the resulting deficits that come with it.

And they LARGELY support his limits on abortion, stem cell research, and gay marriage, and his anti-terrorism strategy, government bought by corporate lobbyists, free-trade/outsourcing ideas, etc, etc.

They're all useless. Maybe Giuliani can show the other candidates how to dress up in drag and Romney can marry 3 or 4 of them. I'm just kidding, maybe.

Answer 2

Ron Paul has strongly voted against Bush on the war, increase taxes, the list goes on and on. He not only believes we should bring our troops home, he also thinks we never should of went into Iraq. He is pro life but does not agree with Roe vs Wade by making federal law on an issue that should be voted at a state level.But you probably didn't get a chance to see or really hear him at the republican debate that's because the republican party and paid media try hide him. Support Ron Paul
