Lopez on Bush Administration
President Bush's biggest mistake has been his failure to wield the veto pen on the excesses of Congress --- largely under Republican control, sadly --- during the first six years of his term. My party is paying for that today. I will work hard to restore fiscal responsibility in Congress. We must see that the Republican Party is rebranded as the party of economic growth, the party of limitations on the excesses of government, the party standing for freedom around the world — the party of Ronald Reagan's Shining City on the Hill.
President Bush’s best accomplishment has been his resolute stand in defense of this country against the treats of terrorism. While Democrats and ultraliberal factions incessantly criticize and attempt to undermine him, he has not wavered in his first Constitutional duty — the protection of this nation.
