>>>While Bush will tilt more to the right, he will not abandon key programs that illustrate his compassionate conservative approach, a way of helping people by developing government programs and policies that allow them help themselves.
This is a remarkable sentence. The author is saying that while Bush tilts to the right, he's going to remain tilting left.
The confusion is answered in the next sentence:
>>>Under this approach, Bush does not see government as an enemy, as traditional conservatives do.
Thus, Bush will remain a big government spender... and spout sweet nothings to the conservatives that elected him. He and his partner Rove are truly lost and unfortunately have destroyed the Republican Party -- at least until Bush-bots can be flushed from the party leadership.
"He and his partner Rove are truly lost and unfortunately have destroyed the Republican Party -- at least until Bush-bots can be flushed from the party leadership."
bump to those sentiments.
