Changes

"Forget '[[compassionate conservatism]].' While you're at it, toss the 'reformer with results.' Education, taxes, welfare reform -- none of those things really matter. '''For George W. Bush, one issue matters: loyalty. [[Bandwagon|You're with him or you're not]]. There's no in-between.''' It's a lesson that he learned from his mother, Barbara, a fiercely territorial woman who never forgets a slight, and from his father, former president George H.W. Bush. George W. has been fiercely protective of his father, and he believes part of the reason his father served only one term in the White House was the lack of loyalty among his staff members. During the elder Bush's four years as president, W. became his loyalty Doberman. It was George W. who sifted through his father's staffers, demanding that they either commit fully to their father or get the hell out. It was George W. who fired his father's White House chief of staff, [[John Sununu]]. The abrasive Sununu, George W. believed, simply didn't have his father's best interests at heart." --Robert Bryce, [http://weeklywire.com/ww/03-20-00/austin_pols_feature.html ''Austin Chronicle'' (Texas)], March 20, 2000.
