Jorge Busho similarly embraced the conservative base. Then, disregarded them like some one night stand.
I disagree...not to the extent of embracing the Tea Party. He fooled some people because he took conservative stances on social issues, but only the SO CON ONLY type voter was fooled. I never ever thought he was a small government conservative.
And after 8 months, his Presidency became about 9-11.
There was no TP around when he was running for office and serving, but if there had been, he would NOT have embraced them at all. Sorry, bad analogy.
