"Right-winger, genuine conservative.." Show me one person that can clearly define the ideology that any of those words represent. You have to stop thinking of things in "Blue and Red" which seemed to be what people were critisizing Bush for in the first place, with Good vs. Evil.
Just as you say Republicans are no longer the same, either are Democrats. For example, you define conservative as someone wishing to maintain the status quo. But most people who call themselves conservative do not wish to maintain the state of high taxes, deficit spending, expanding welfare.. Conservatives want change.
I purposely created a selective example of what change conservatives want. But that demonstrates how the term is manipulated to suit a purpose.
After reading those snippets, I'm not sure what you expect me to refute. Or, conclude that GWB should not be president because of it. Example:
Quote:
improbable victory without indispensable American help.

Does he me administration screw-ups, or protesters in suburbia burning flags in front of Starbucks? Both undeniably help OBL. In the last snippet, he basically calls everyone spoiled brats. Do you disagree?
