I agree, PosterX
PosterX, IMO has hit the nail on the head. Bush has no concept of what a free market is, though he may like to pay lip service to the idea. It should be no surprise that he has slapped tarriffs on just about everything and increased the size of government. The man is simply not principled.
Also, this is being levelled at Bush right now because he happens to be President during/after the terrorist attacks, but we all know very well that Gore would have been doing almost exactly the same thing in Bush's place: bailing out the airlines, increasing military spending, sending money overseas, putting up tarriffs, etc, etc, etc. These days, for all intents and purposes, as has been said, Republican = Democrat.
