Who the hell else was W to get behind?
The dogcrap RNC had four years to put a solid conservative up against 0, and did not.
With a stream of RNC Chairs more or less directly appointed by W. What would you expect? W was not a solid conservative. He got Mit Romney, and Tommy Thompson the ex-Governor of Wisconsin to run, and he also got several other nobodies to flood the race...and then all of them were instructed to take a dim view of the illegal alien amnesty he and McCain were for...so that they could siphon away all the support for the legitimate candidates for our laws...such as Duncan Hunter, Ron Paul or Tom Tancredo.
The division of too many candidates on that issue submerged Hunter who had the only sensible position on national economic restoration of the fundamentals to America.
