I can’t remember ever liking the guy. There were tell-tale signs there. I wasn’t a big supporter of Bush, so I was suspect of those around him. Rove stood out to me almost from the start.
There may have been a very few instances when I agreed with him, but his inclinations regarding Conservatism weren’t any better than Bush’s.
I liked Bush, Condi and all of them back then, still like Dubya - I’ll admit. I think he leads with his heart, you can see it in how he treats the Military. Turns out that none of them were the conservatives we thought them to be.
