“As with many Republicans, he is terrified of being called a racist.”

Correct.

RINOs fear being labeled “meanspirited.” George W. Bush is obsessed with that fear; and with the start of his 2000 campaign in California, began to speak about “compassionate conservativism” as if being conservative somehow excludes compassion.

G. W. Bush thus bashed conservatives, out of the gate of Bush’s run.
