That helps explain things a bit more.

At least liberals can’t say Bush was ever conservative. This one is for the books. Note it.

A conservative message alone isn't good enough, the people want someone inspiring to lead them, Gary Bauer was a dork and it didn't matter what he said people can't see past that to actually HEAR what he is saying.

It's sad, but that's just the way politics in the modern world is, actually it's been this way since Kennedy.

This is only reason I think Romney has a chance, he LOOKS like what people think a president should look like, so at least people will listen when he speaks.

This doesn't make it right, it's just dealing with the reality of the situation.

At least liberals can’t say Bush was ever conservative.

Then what is the excuse for conservatives who voted for him?

[Paul Ross]

At least liberals COMMUNIST RINO BUSH-BOTS can’t say Bush was ever conservative.

BTTT!

This one is for the books. Note it.

Indeed. Now that there is no denying there is a "movement" again, we will probably see some lame denials and attacks on the messenger...

What is interesting to note that the whole time Bush was denying there was a movement, he was meticulously positioning himself to present the false image to the easily-duped that he was in fact somehow 'conservative'...albeit a self-styled 'compassionate' one.

Of course they can.

Herbert Hoover wasn't really a conservative -- at least not when he was President -- but he made Republicans look so bad that Democrats never missed a chance to portray him as a model conservative.

If Bush makes conservatives look bad, liberals will call him a conservative.
