George Bush was basically a RINO. Same wing of the party as Thomas Dewey, the Rockerfellers, McCain, Romneys and other Bushes.

Like most RINO's, he accomplished some wothwhile things like great supreme court nominees and had the sense to realize that a healthy private sector is necessary to generate the tax revenues necessary to support the nanny state. But like most RINO's, he didn't really have the heart to actually prune back the nanny state. Sooner or later, the sheeple always tire of RINO's and will trade them in for the next available alternative.

Which, far too often, is something much, much worse.

Not really a RINO, but unfortunately as you note an adherent to most of what is wrong with the GOP. I don't think Bush views conservatives as enemies the same way as e.g. John McCain does.

A problem with electing RINOs is that they can almost never be replaced without letting a liberal Democrat have a seat for a term. The more consecutive RINO victories there have been, the worse the Democrat will be.
