2. This is what giving credibility to fucks like Lou Dobbs and John Dean gets

You end up with a bunch of people, even liberals, pining for "old-school Republicans" and "true conservatives", talking about how conservatism has been hijacked.

And liberals, so ready to attack Bush and ally with anyone who does, readily agree.

But, as John Dean and Lou Dobbs and now Tucker and scores of others all end up saying, the logical next step is to say "Bush is a liberal".

This way, they can treat conservatism like a sacred, noble cause, and at the same time demonize liberalism and paint it as a philosphy of large oppressive and fascist governments and massive deficits.
