There is an odd dichotomy in that. The religious right endorsed Bush early in the 2000 primaries and gave him a powerful boost toward the nomination. At the same time, the crazy-cons have always been a little skeptical of him, from his history of alcohol and drug abuse to his Ivy League education they never really saw him as one of their own. He was, rather, someone they saw as favoring their agenda for partisan reasons and powerful enough to implement it.

Bush was realistic as far as immigrant issues were concerned too! I liked him better than his father.
