Bush43 never mislead Republicans. We just weren’t sure how much of a big govt Republican he really was. Turns out Bush has been very liberal on the spending side, expanding the welfare state and immigration reform.
FredT supports a more limited govt. He’s a federalist and that by defintion means he’ll look at every issue to see if it belongs in the purview of the states, or belongs as a federal issue. Following the Founders original intent is critical to limited govt.
I call misleading voters when most of whom voted for him will not do it again.
