Teaching you political science is like trying to bang your head against a wall. When will you understand the difference between a conservative and a reactionary. Bush 1 was a true establishment conservative and he lead us well. He made some tough decisions that were in the best interest of our nation, as it turned out and it cost him politically. His son was a political reactionary. He made a number of very difficult decisions including the decision to not enforce regulations, to implement regressive tax cuts at a time of war and while increasing spending and misled our nation into an immoral war, in short, and unlike his truly conservative father, he made ideologically reactionary decision to benefit a handful of people at the cost of the nation and lead us into disaster.
Bush 1 was a true conservative. Bush 2 was a second rate second son and his Presidency was a joke compared to his father.
And don't try to throw Bush 2 under the bus. Ya'll elected him and his extremist ideology and you walked in lock step with and defended his every decision. Only when by implementing the right wing policies you extolled him to and they ended up so disastrously that no one in their right mind could admit other wise did ya'll throw him under the bus rather then admit that it wasn't the man that was wrong but his policies which you enthusiaistically supported.
