Bush certainly has the rhetoric on trade, but he plays politics (still didn't get Pennsylvania, it's a sellout that causes more harm than good). I wonder if Hillary wouldn't be the perfect 'convservative' candidate because The Hammer wouldn't let her get anything past the House.
I'd prefer NOT to see the House have to do the dirty work all the time, thanks. I'll vote for almost anyone before that witch. God, I wish we had a Reagan in the wings. I despair of a new conservatism rising again, though, every time I see people here touting government action for "good" reasons. Compassionate conservatism certainly isn't.
Ah, hell. Rummy in 2008.
