So Pataki has morphed back into a conservative for the election season?

The guv might have added, turn back to conservatism for the election and then STAY THERE!!! I'm afraid the Republicrats have lost large numbers by their leftist drift.

That's rich. A Rino like Pataki wants to "get back to basics". What a farce!

Republicans can avert a disastrous midterm election this fall by returning to basic conservative themes that set them apart from Democrats, New York Gov. George Pataki said Saturday

Basically, Pataki is looking at a run for the Presidency himself. So he's running to the right, knowing full well that his liberal/RINO northeastern politics doesnt fare so well in flyover country.

If, IF he were to be elected to the Presidency (God forbid), he would revert back to the liberal he always was.

...the perception that he's a northeastern moderate...

Perception?!?

SNORT.

Republicans can avert a disastrous midterm election this fall by returning to basic conservative themes that set them apart from Democrats, Pro-Abortion, Pro-Gun Control, Pro-Higher Taxes, Pro-More Government Spending, New York Gov. George Pataki said Saturday

Fixed.

Liberal RINO Pataki has some nerve to talk about "returning to Conservative values." Do as I say, not as I do.
