There were some huge differences between GW & Romney.
1. GW was solidly pro-life.
2. GW was a veteran who had paid his dues and not avoided them during the Vietnam era.
3. GW had a solid, winning, smaller government record coming out of Texas.
4. GW was pro-gun, pro-natural family, and pro-God.
5. As it turns out, GW was a fighter who decided to take it to al-Qaeda (the right decision). Nation-building was a mis-step, but there was nothing immoral or unethical about it. Just bad policy.
We discovered GW’s penchant for illegal amnesty later and his penchant for rewarding friends with Scotus and AG positions. That is borderline unethical.
Interesting list. Rick Perry was all those things and he was run out of town around here.
