All of his flaws combined do not add up to the damage done by RINOs like Graham, Snowe, Specter, McCain, Jeffords, Chafee.....
It was Bush’s deviations from conservatism (I don’t consider nation-building neocons in the same category as conservatives) that alienated the public against the GOP. Positioning RINOs like those above in influencial leadership also took its toll on the party. They always blocked the will of the the people that got the party as a whole elected.
I don't either. I am as against neocons as I am against liberals/progressives. Please give me back my beloved US constitution and leave me alone.
