GWB ran as a “compassionate conservative”, not a limited gov’t conservative. The last Presidential candidate ran on a small gov’t platform was Reagan.
“GWB ran as a “compassionate conservative””
I watched one of the debates from 2000 recently and he sounded like a quasi Reagan like conservative. He didn’t sound like a liberaltarian but he did sound conservative. I was surprised by how much of a complete turn around he did after getting elected. Really, I noticed the shift when Jim Jeffords jumped parties.
Everytime you hear the word “Compassion” spoken by a politico hide your wallet.
