Bush Signals Support for McCain

By Peter Baker

President Bush plans to give an implicit endorsement of onetime rival John McCain's conservative bona fides tomorrow as the Arizona senator seeks to consolidate the party behind his candidacy.

In a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference in the morning, Bush plans to say that the nominee of the party will be a strong conservative, according to excerpts released by the White House tonight.

A compassionate conservative? Or just a phony conservative.

McCain does adhere to Arbusto's holy grail; flood America with illegal aliens and erase that terrible border. Bush fooled me once. I won't get fooled again. Not by these charlatans.

“I’m George W. Bush and I paid for this message. I hereby endorse Hillary/Obama as the most likely candidates to carry on my same policies into the next term.”

I guarantee this would seal the election for the Republicans.

If Bush is speaking I’m sure Fox or the other stations will have it.

And Huckabigot was in it to ensure that Romney didn’t finish first.

I explained it exactly like that to my Mother about two hours ago. Fred kept the conservatives from going heavy on either Mitt or Huck. I just loved the way he kept them all hanging from May 'til late September, they were all fired up by then, and then he limps along like a poorly stunned beef cow until late Jan. He finally comes on like a bull in SC and three days later he drops out. Very nice strategery

Did you see Karl "The Architect" Rove on H&C tonight telling everybody how conservative McCain actually is? He even had an eraser board to show us all the "math" to prove Mitt didn't have a chance.

I support President Bush. When I first joined Free Republic back in 2000 so did most of the members. I am disappointed at what this board has become with the constant trashing of this decent and honorable man.

I am glad he is supporting McCain. Without McCain’s campaigning help, President Bush may not have won re-election and we would be looking at President Kerry.

I wish some of the people here would go post on DU. They love to trash our dear president too.

LOL.Like the KKK saying David Duke's a true civil rights leader, like Paris Hilton saying Lindsay Lohan's a true intellectual, like Barney Frank saying Larry Craig's a real heterosexual.....

No, the Establishment has conferred that McCrabby will win. His military leg needs a financial or social conservative base to shore him up, and so far, America has voted for the financial conservative over the socon 2:1.

This signals the GOPs intention to downplay the socon base which has alienated both moderate Republicans and Conservative Democrats (who might break for McCain.)

Huckabee was on with Colbert tonight, flaking himself out over Texas at a foosball table. He's out, now he's just working on his resume.

Oh, that's the reason why he suddenly transformed to a public talking head. To communicate to the masses about why they should accept McCain.

"I supported Bush . . . so did most of the members"

That was at a time before the almost complete abrogation of the Conservative Contract by W and many, many members of Congress (Including Mr. McCain).

I remember back then too - Being confronted with "Bush-bots" and unrelenting flames for those, including myself, who dared raise any questions about this blind allegiance.

Well I've seen what blind allegiance often gets you - That is plain old disrespect and a taking for granted of support. It also emboldens the recipient to do things they otherwise would never do because there is no apparent risk - The support is always there and there are no consequences.

In short, IMO whatever disrespect W or any of the other GOP leaders are receiving at this point in time has been well earned and these are the logical consequences of their actions and failure to adhere to the contract they entered into with their supporters.

Karl’s a Kommentator now? How special. No, I don’t have cable. I like the way you describe the primary strategery; I’ve been noting that to others.

I did the math, too, after Super Tuesday and Mitt wasn’t going to come close, meanwhile spending more money.

I guess the final push for Amnesty is next on the agen-duh. Then set the stage for George P. Bush in 2016.
