So who is, or would you think is the best Conservative candidate, then, for the present and the future? Not being nearly as well versed as you in history, and having read your posts, I assume you promote George W. Bush as the next president of the United States of America. Have I got that right?
My point in asking the question...who were Conservative GOP presidents, was a wee trap.There has NEVER been and there will NEVER be a president Conservative enough to satisfy the "purists"/MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN THOUERS here. I can prove,no matter who is named,that they wouldn't pass the smell test, that the "purists" use for President Bush, whom I do support,as you surmised.
I'm a pragmatist,I don't expect the impossible from my presidential choices,and I do know history and understand politics.
