Somehow conservatives managed to elect Ronald Reagan in the era before Rush and the Conservative Entertainment Complex arrived to turn conservatism into a money making enterprise during the GHW Bush presidency. In the years since we have had Rush selling Bushism as “conservative”. If Rush had his way Marco Rubio would be on the ticket this year.
There is simple truth in what you say. As far as Rush and Bushism, I am only left with the quandary of dealing with his DHS, specifically his TSA in the aftermath. Somehow, that kind of ‘conservatism’ rubs my butt with a wire brush.
Who EVER would have realize that the “compassionate conservatism” W was talking about was 50 million illegals up our butts.
