"The Bushes have always been attracted to the more moderate, big money Republicans"
Yep, they're about as far away from the independent, principled, Reagan/Goldwater kind of Republicans as can be imagined. I do like Dubya considerably more than his dad x41 (one of the worst Presidents of the 20th century), but only because he seems a bit more removed from the eastern establishment, compromising Rinos. Time will tell.
