From Nick Denton:
[Bush] does have a weakness: forget about whether he's sufficiently presidential; he's not a good Republican. On key issues such as trade and federal spending, which I'll list below, Bush has jettisoned the good-government principles that have traditionally underpinned the Republican Party.
...
The Democratic candidate for president should appropriate the traditional Republican values of limited government, individual liberty, and fiscal responsibility.
No kidding. I'm pretty set against voting for George Bush, but it depends on whom the Democrats put forward as a candidate.

I'm more immediately disturbed by Attorney General John Ashcroft's lack of respect for civil liberties than George Bush's ridiculous increases in government, funded by deficit spending, but both are big, big problems for any thinking conservative.
