>was a liberal. We'd argue over Carter policies." Bush criticized 
>energy policy, federal land use policy, subsidized housing, and the 
>Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("a misuse of power," 
>he said), and he warned that Social Security would go bust in ten 
>years unless people were given a chance to invest the money 
>themselves. None of this really distinguished him from Hance, 
>though, so in the end Bush simply argued that a Republican could 
>better represent the district: "If you want a chance in the way 
>Congress has been run, send someone who will be independent from
