My first post in response to this thread debunked everything she had to say complete with references. I am curious, how is that badgering her?

Your reference merely put Nixon's actions regarding the EPA into context. No matter your opinion, as much as a President "creates" any program, Nixon did create the EPA.
I agree with your assessment of how the ABM treaty came about under Nixon, but I think schraf also has a point that these days a republican would not be signing anything like that.
The idea that Bush is not a conservative republican scares the hell out of me. There are people MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN BUSH? I realize he hasn't enacted as many conservative programs as conservatives would like, but certainly his heart is all for it.
I mean if not for that damn constitution!
BTW, from an outsider's perspective, your post did come off a little hostile and contrary for the sake of being contrary. Not saying you meant it to be that way, just saying I can see why people would think that.
