Bush Calls McCain a "True Conservative."

I'm going to have to get a lobotomy to make this kind of stuff make sense:

WASHINGTON - John McCain is a "true conservative," President Bush says, although the likely Republican presidential nominee may have to work harder to convince other conservatives that he is one of their own.

McCain "is very strong on national defense," Bush said in an interview taped for airing on "Fox News Sunday." "He is tough fiscally. He believes the tax cuts ought to be permanent. He is pro-life. His principles are sound and solid as far as I'm

 concerned."

But when asked about criticism of McCain by conservative commentators Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter, the president said, "I think that if John is the nominee, he has got some convincing to do to convince people that he is a solid conservative and I'll be glad to help him if he is the nominee."

Bush said some of the criticism of the Arizona senator was the result of "pro

bably, some personal animosity toward me. You can't please all the people all the time."

So let me get this straight: Bush, a "compassionate conservative," which is really a moderate, open borders, prescription drug-passing big spender is calling McCain, a pro-amnesty, free speech limiting, global warming advocate a true conservative?!?

Well, now we know it must be true. *snicker*

Oh, and we hate McCain because of Bush? Put the ego down, sir! I am perfectly capable of disliking people on their own merit.

By the way, has anyone else

 noticed that Hillary has cried publicly exactly before each primary for the last three weeks now?

 

I'm just sayin'...
