I voted twice for Bush 43. I did so, in large part, because he was moderately isolationist...

<snort!> Now I've got to clean up my keyboard.

I think this is the first time I've heard this particular label applied to him.

I didn’t get that part either, but the rest of the piece is really worth the time to read.

It can be claimed that Bush campaigned as a “moderate isolationist” before the 2000 election. He changed dramatically after 9/11. From opposing “nation building” he became an ardent advocate of just that in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
