Jorge Bush created the Teddy Kennedy Kennedy Wing of the Republican Party. John McCain passes the litmus test of that wing. That test is amnesty. It is not about Rush.
Oh please, the RINOs were alive and kicking LONG before George W. Bush, or even his father, entered the White House. They didn't call them ROCKEFELLER Republicans for nothing. If anything, it's the Reagan Republicans who are the "Johnny-come-latelies". That's why they had to work so hard to get conservatism into politics. The Country Club Republicans were entrenched, and didn't want to give up power.
