It's not contrary to Bush's thinking.
One doesn't have to agree with a group to accept their vote or support.
That's Ronald Reagan's accommodation, and it's pretty wise.
What political accommodation is Bush giving?
Reagan didn't bend to anyone, they bent to him. Politically speaking, as I said before, it is not logical, to alienate a large solid part of your base, for a smaller part of somone else's base.
If the democrats went about trying to expand the base by appealing to eastern european immigrants, they would alienate the minority part of there own base. To do such would be foolish.
