It was a lot of things, "dude", but that doesn't mean it ruined his reputation too much among the GOP establishment, base, and the Bush Administration.
his 2006 WMD press conference was the last straw. after that, no one wanted to get within 50 feet of him. it pissed a lot of people off, bigtime, including the jmfcsts. and we haven't forgotten.
but the jmfcsts are willing to politically forgive, if Rick apologizes. but he is not fit for office. period.
Guess what jmfcst, your people may rule the GOP primary contests (maybe) but it's the Tories who decide the general. The base stuck with Santorum. He got 41%. That
was the base. You can ask Torie why he didn't get the extra 9% he needed to win.
