Bush doesn't have any conservatism in his makeup, Slim. Every single one of his kneejerks has been a socialist knee jerk. We must have been watching two different Geedubs, you and I.
The GOP leadership intentionally threw the election to Johnson when Goldwater challenged their status quo. They tried to do the same thing to Reagan. Since Reagan left office, there has been a steady culling of the ranks of conservatives. I'm not talking about the rank and file, though the number of conservative spear cariers has been dwindling since '96. Face it. The GOP's conservative element is done for. The leadership's brief flirtation with conservatism ended when Reagan left office.
Couldn't disagree more, my FRiend...Larry Kudlow said it best when he told Limbaugh, "George W. Bush is the Conservative Mole within his own Administration."
"Every single one of his kneejerks has been a socialist knee jerk. We must have been watching two different Geedubs, you and I."
Apparently so...I think you have Dubyuh mixed up with his Milquetoast Moderate Daddy.

You may be willing to take yer ball and go home whining that you just ain't got what it takes to fight the RINOs, but I prefer to stay and fight the good fight. RINOs count you amongst their biggest allies when you spew nonsense like that...whatever. Enjoy the Inconsequential Wilderness of ThirdPartyism, my FRiend...I'll continue to check in with y'all and let you know what's going on up here on the front line of the CounterCounterCulture War.
