Speakin of Bush, Congressman Paul was very straight-forwar in his displeasure for Bush's "demented philosophy of conquest." Here is a portion of his floor speech:
RON PAUL: "In recent decades, our policies have been driven by neoconservative empire radicalism; profiteering in the military industrial complex; misplaced do-good internationalis mercantilistic notions regarding the need to control natural resources; and blind loyalty to various governments in the Middle East."
You can add Ron Paul's name to the small list of the few level-headed Republicans left in Congress.
