You think the conservative movement is George Bush. No. It is a movement, not a cult. It was not created by one man and does not depend on any one man the way the Democrats in the 90's were dependent on Clinton.
The vitality of any movement is it's willingness to talk back to leaders who make bad decisions. Not your kind of canine obedience. Nothing is more destructive of any institution than cronyism and yes-men surrounding the leader.
Please don't try and speak for me. I do not think any one man is the conservative movement but I do think that a self-annointed group around is not only not the conservative movement but actually has little to do with any practical application of conservative principles.
The thought put forward by them cannot get 10% of the electorate to agree with them on its best day more like 1%.
People seem oblivious to the fact that FR is probably the most conservative 10% of the nation. We are the "lunatic fringe" of rightwing politics. To believe that the lunatic fringe of the lunatic fringe is going to make GOP policy shows a great lack of realistic thinking.
Of course the Left is orgasmic watching the "conservatives" join their attempts to destroy the President.
