I agree. I think Bush is a POC, but disregarding him, it's the reps that want less laws, more freedoms.

Today I shall be witty, charming and elegant.
Or maybe I'll say "um" a lot and trip over things.

Congress repeatedly passes laws which tend to apply to everyone but the Congress. It doesn't really matter whether it is controlled by Democrats or Republicans. The only difference is in the types of laws enacted. And remember, too: the President cannot pass laws. Only the Congress can do that. I don't think the President can even propose laws directly. Only his cronies in the Congress can propose them, though he no doubt initiates many of them.
And one other thing to remember. Although the Republicans have raised the national debt to record levels, the real problems with our economy didn't start until after the Dem's took control of Congress. I don't think we can honestly blame the current problems on only one person or party. It's everyone's fault, President, Congress, the banks, Wall Street, even the average American, who sees nothing wrong with building massive credit card debts. We are all to blame, to one degree or another.

I know only Congress can pass laws, but Bush seems to have the ability to "skirt" the law or interpret it the way that suits him regardless of the result
and he did the same thing as Governor Of Texas, he did it HIS WAY
He set some very ugly 1st's as Governorand has continued to as President, but Iwill give him credit for being consistant and he did not even win 1 term in Office, the Repulican Supremem Court gift wraped 1 term after Florida's Hanging Chad Fiasco
All americans, republicans or democrates want less laws and more freedoms.
The problem is in deciding which republician sponsored laws should be kept and which democrate sponsored laws should be kept.
Who decides?
Many women feel that the law giving the right of choice is a fundamental right for all women. However, there are constant attempts by the republicans to take this freedom of choice away.
Many people feel the right to bear arms is a freedom that must be protected but each year there are democrate sponsored bills to reduce those rights.
Who decides?
You see that is the problem that results when any group of people wants to impose their values on the masses. It would be nice to say "ok everybody just stop it and let each of us live our lives as we want" but do you think they will?
No, they won't, if for no other reason then some media personality has told them that our country can not survive if you let those other people choose how to live their lives. Those people are not responsible enough to do the right thing without someone forcing them to live like they are told and of course they know who is the right person to do the telling, just ask them.
Until we as a nation grow up enough to take responsibility for ourselves and no longer rely on others to tell us how we should live and how others should not live we will continue as a nation who's polices are based on intolerance not freedom.
