Ideology Has Consequences: Bush rejects the politics of prudence:
Quote: >>Many Republicans must feel like that legendary man at the
bar on the Titanic. Watching the iceberg slide by outside a porthole,
he remarked, "I asked for ice. But this is too much." Republicans
voted for a Republican and got George W. Bush, but his Republican
Party is unrecognizable as the party we have known. Recall the
Eisenhower Republican Party. Eisenhower, a thoroughgoing realist, was
one of the most successful presidents of the 20th century. So was the
prudential Reagan, wary of using military force. Nixon would have
been a good secretary of state, but emotionally wounded and
suspicious, he was not suited to the presidency. Yet he, too, with
Henry Kissinger, was a realist. George W. Bush represents a huge
swing away from such traditional conservative Republicanism.<<
