When the second Bush first came out to run for President, he started out pledging to “reach across the aisle” to the Democrats. Well, he did; and he got his hand chewed off. Still is getting blamed for the stuff Obama, the perpetual vacationer, has done. If the Dems ever quit snarfing off those “hands reaching across the aisle”, then some day it might be safe to reach across. As it is, all the reaching goes in one direction.
This whole “reach across the aisle” stuff is a bunch of idealist hooey, IMO. These people are our ENEMIES. And for some RINO to go talking about “reach across the aisle,” it translates to me as nothing more than a “reach around.” Effing traitors.
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.
As it is, all the reaching goes in one direction.
