When the Second Bush campaigned he campaigned as a “compassionate conservative” thereby dissing and distancing himself from conservatives and putting himself out on RINO Island, an island of misfit pols.
If he hadn’t had the Bush connection, he’d have stayed on the ranch.
But he came in and pretended to be loved by everyone. He didn’t have the character to even carry conservatives, but he could have. Conservatives were hopeful and willing.
THey still don’t hate him as much as his friends, the liberals, do, but conservatives have had enough of namby pamby, with our culture and economy and health care oh and military all going into a dirty drain.
It’s not that conservatives are asking the establishment to give them a good candidate, it’s that conservatives will go further to despise the RINO candidacy even more than Mitt.
And they, unlike RINOs, do not apologize for their feelings.
They are done.
Well, live and learn; or so they say. Bush wasn’t perfect; no President has been. I’m real disappointed in my fellow Americans for electing this current Perpetual Vacationer and his ubiquitous Perpetual Vacationing Wifey. - As someone once observed; when Democrats get “their” turn at bat, they gut the military, then march into every skirmish all over the world they can find to send troops into. Bad idea to gut the military, and at the same time, wussify it; but the “Boy Wonder” either can’t comprehend that or else WON’T comprehend it. . “Ellen” notwithstanding.
