That is entirely TRUE.
Karl Rove. What has happened, and is happening, is the Bush people, largely Rove but others as well, the neocons, who shaped the Bush policies, have been attacking Conservatives, the tea party. We saw this clearly with Christine O’Donnell, the conservative tea party candidate who was attacked by Rove and the neocons who supported Mike Castle, a full Snowe/Collins level RINO.
Back in 2007, many or most did think of Bush as a largely, at least somewhat, conservative. We certainly did not like the Republican Presidents policies being attacked by another Republican. Bush had to do something really really bad (Harriet Miers) for us to complain.
4 years later, Ron Paul’s policy suggestions are not a commentary on a Republican President anymore. They’re a commentary on Obama. A lot of people didn’t like negative commentary about a Republican President. That’s all gone now.
When Rove reveals so extremely clearly that he’s hostile to Conservatives, it makes it very clear that the conservativeness of ALL Bush Policies should be looked at very closely. Do we need endless wars? Wasn’t endless wars just like Vietnam? Wasn’t that Kennedy and Johnson? Weren’t they Democrats? Wasn’t Reagan the Conservative one in 1980 and Bush the Liberal one? And Bush was picked to “balance” the ticket (by the way, no more of that). No big wars under 8 years of Reagan, 4 years of Bush I gives us Iraq I and 8 years of Bush II gives Iraq II and Afghanistan.
We probably could have skipped all that.
Another thing to consider is that Tea Party here, these days, is more the home team than the Republican Party. And not too many Tea Party candidates have been elected. And Rand Paul is one of not too many Tea Party Senators. If we’re Tea Party, we really should like what our Tea Party Senators are all about. And I think that we do, for the most part.
So in your mind claiming that Iran has a right to nuclear weapons, claiming that homosexual behavior has special rights in our military, and claiming support of the Victory mosque at Ground Zero are all Tea party positions?
These are all positions taken by Ron Paul, the pevert.
You are a pathetic joke.
