In a word: From Honest to Incompetent

Bush's personal image has weakened noticeably, which is reflected in people's one-word descriptions of the president. Honesty had been the single trait most closely associated with Bush, but in a March survey "incompetent" is the descriptor used most frequently.

Incompetent leadership leads to incompetent government.

In the July/August 2006 edition of Washington Monthly Alan Wolfe asserts that "Contemporary conservativism is a walking contradiction. Unable to shrink government but unwilling to improve it, conservatives attempt to split the difference, expanding government for political gain, but always in ways that validate their disregard for the very thing they are expanding. The end result is not just bigger government, but more incompetent government.
