Yes. Very, very sad what he became. After 9/11 I thought he had great potential.
Oh, goody. Now Rush is describing Bush as “a fine man” and saying he “understands” where McCain is coming from.

“Yes. Very, very sad what he became. After 9/11 I thought he had great potential.”
I have no idea if W ever believed in the founding principle of limited government, but after 9/11, he no longer had a political need to appeal to conservatives on that basis.
After 9/11, the “keeping us safe” meme allowed W to retain the conservative base even while ignoring the true long term conservative agenda of restoring limits on government through enforcement of the constitution.

He never changed. A lot of people are simply seeing past his phony facade for the first time. In California some of us got to see what he’s really like long before he became President.
In 1994 during the campaign to pass Prop 187, then Texas Governor GW Bush flew out here and sided with Mexico’s massive illegal alien population against grassroots California voters working hard to stem the invasion. That told me all I ever needed to know about Bush junior.
