If you read the books on the President, you will see that he opposed Souter when he Dad nominated him. He also did not see eye to eye with Sununu and Rudman. Pres Bush is not like his Dad -- he is not afraid to do battle and people underestimate him because he genuinely a nice guy but this nice guy has one Karl Rove right next to him who is a rock ribbed conservative. Anyone with Karl Rove in an office next to him is one person I wouldn't want to play Texas Hold Em with.
Are we talking about the same Karl Rove who lied to and twisted the arms of real conservatives in the House of Representatives to get the Medicare Prescription Drug Bill passed? A rock ribbed conservative pushed the largest expansion of socialism since Lyndon Johnson's Great Society?!? The same ROVE who has practically single handedly turned the Republican Party into the party of Hispandring?!?
A conservative Rove is NOT!
