Haven't convinced me, dude.
I don't agree with Bush on his immigration reform policy, but I don't think he sold out to anyone. Which is basically what you're saying.
Well, either he sold out Texas and the conservatives, OR he is acting in class solidarity with his own, i.e. snotty white-shoed, big-rich New England yachtsmen sporting around on Martha's Vineyard and the islands of the New England coast with fifth-generation robber-baron money that their great-greats ripped off all the hardscrabble dirt farmers who were driven off the land during the 19th and 20th centuries by manipulated, ripoff "markets" owned by said robber barons........
Can't have it all ways, hand. Which paradigm is correct? Brush-busting stalwart Texas rancher and straight shooter who's just looking out for the Reagan legacy and the country's best interest, or solipsistic rich-boy New England legacy trash who lives life off a 140-year-old silver canape' plate?
Reaganism and Americanism, or Social Darwinism?
