Thanks, CR, for a refreshingly candid bit of truth. Bush was "the uniter, not the divider," the "compassionate conservative" who has taken us completely to the Dark Side.
But politics is also a balancing act, trying to say just enough to gather enough independents, youth, geezers, women and fallen republicans to seal the deal. Now that he's running from the front, at least for the next 4 days, he can sound magnanimous. If Hil wins NH, it's get interesting. If Hil loses, stick a fork in her.
But yes, riding an amorphous wave of "change" may come back to haunt him one day. |
