I hate to say it but to run as a conservative you have to run away from Bush and McCain by definition. Bush may be a conservative in his personal life but he certainly hasn’t governed like one.

[My family, friends and I are ACTIVE (conservative) Republicans — the type that Republican politicians MUST have in their corner to win. We will not support any Republican who bashes our President. Such a politician would lack the personal integrity and courage necessary to hold a leadership position in either the House or the Senate!]
