Karl Rove was President George W. Bush's right-hand man

It's all about perception. At one point, being Bush's right-hand man convinced many that Rove was a hard-core Conservative. Now, with a little distance, I think we can see that Rove in 2003 was just like Rove in 2013 -- a Liberal.

The GOP has not had Conservatives at the top since 1988.

A good point. But it shouldn’t be inferred that Dubya was a hard-core Conservative.
