“Why did Reagan ever pick him for a running mate?”

Forgive me for butting in here, but I always figured it was to carry the Southern vote.

That that HURT!

Bush, Sr. was always looked upon down here as a New Englander. Listen tot hat whiney Yankee, nasal voice!

The only electoral office Bush Sr. ever won on his own was one term as a congressman from Texas. He was elected president purely as Reagan’s successor, immeidately got rid of all Reagan appointees, and lost his reelection bid massively.

In 1982 I produced The New Right Papers, which explained how we on the New Right had engineered Reagan’s 1980 victory. Paul Weyrich wrote a piece in that book where he pointed out that the first great victory his section of the New Right won was defeating George Bush for re-election in Texas! This, was, of course, Reagan’s Vice President at the time.

Our estimate of him in 1982 was demonstrated to be perfectly accurate.

Forget the “Conservative” label. For most people, Conservative equals what others call Neo-Conservative, and that is certainly PC. Any other remaining connotations mean “Yankee economics:” the system that exploited the South, replaces the town square with Walmart, and imported 100 million alien wage-slaves. Come to think of it, Conservatives don’t even know what Conservative means anymore and Conservatives are stumbling over themselves trying to be Respectable/PC. Why not Populist or “true American” or “honest?” Believe it or not, Hitler was able to recruit Social Democrats and Communists. He didn’t do that by calling the NSDAP “radical conservative.” There are still some situations where “conservative” is useful, such as in religion, but these are few.

Conservatism is long dead. Deal with it.

Absolutely. Today any opponent ofhte established religion, Political Correctness, is called, of all things, a conservative.

What our discussion has proven that Political Correctness cannot be expressed in real English. They’re screwed up the language like everything else.
