re: Bush: If GOP stands for 'white Anglo-Saxon Protestantism, it's not going to win anything

How did anyone think Bush was conservative when his father was Deep State patient zero? His father's allies purged Pat Buchanan from the Republican Party 8 years prior. That entire family is scum.

I don't think that was really clear to 99% of Republicans during the Republican Primaries in 2000. He ran against McCain who positioned himself to Bush's left. I even remember statements by Bush that were critical of the military operations in the Balkans during the campaign that were similar to Buchanan sentiments.
