|
It's funny that after numerous times of running for president and getting nowhere conservatives are finally ready for a different type of "conservative" and now he's is turning into Bushie Jr. I would think that it would be smart to stick with what he always supposedly "stood" for, isn't that the reason everyone is drooling over him now? Jeez, I truly don't get republicans... at all! I thought that the bush model of conservatism has been debunked? What gives? All of this is good news for us though, good news indeed!
