Wild conclusion that I'm ignorant of the rightward shift just because I said Bush doesn't sound like a lefty. Doesn't help your case that he never was one in the first place.

That's kind of my whole point. Do you know what an Overton window is? Please listen to bush as president speak on immigration and then listen to fill in the blank current Republican talk about immigration policy. Bush sounds like a lefty by todays standards because we're so far off the right I don't know what direction is anymore

He does not sound like a leftist. Shut the fuck up.
