This is sure to get a fun response, but on the whole Bush may be more liberal than Clinton. Think about it:
1. Under Clinton we had surpluses; under Bush we have deficits.
2. Under Clinton, we had a reduction in an entitlement program (i.e., welfare). Under Bush we have an extremely expensive new entitlement program.
3. Under Clinton we had NAFTA and other free trade initiatives. Under Bush we have new tariffs.
4. Both Clinton and Bush subscribe to the "mend it don't end it" line on affirmative action.
5. Both Clinton and Bush were against gay marriage.
6. Bush has increased gross spending for, and has essentially federalized, education.
7. Under Bush we have extensive new regulation of the securities markets.
I could go on, but that should be enough to trigger the wave.

That was great.......
Let us not forget that Clinton took us into nation building programs in Somalia and Haiti, pretty much took us to war against Serbia, launched missiles into Sudan and Afghanistan and repeatedly bombed Iraq.
Afghanistan attacked us during the Bush administration, and Iraq blatently violated the peace treaty ending gulf war one. None of Clintons actions were supported by international law. The international community may have supported them, but they were not supported by international law - big difference.
