Remember,it was Bush,McCain AND Rove who gave us Obama.
Rove made sure Lisa Murkowski beat Joe Miller in Alaska. Now Murkowski is siding with the Democrats on many issues, including the recent debt ceiling battle.
Why in the world would Rove care if Perry had a run-in with Bush? That kind of loyalty would be counter-productive and just plain stupid for the kind of work he does. There’s too much at stake to let such a minor thing get in the way.
I think Rove is the one actually pushing Perry. He knows Romney is not palatable to the Tea Party, and he surely doesn’t want a real Tea Party candidate to be nominated, so he will back Perry as the compromise.
Rick Perry is an opportunist, a fake Tea Party supporter, and a fake candidate in general.
He is George Bush warmed over who will move to the fiscal center if he wins the nomination, and won’t push hard for Tea Party initiatives if he wins the election. It will be politics as usual.
