The following is a statement from one of my favorite wingnuts, Richard A. Viguerie, posted on ConservativeHQ Alert:

It’s good news that Andy Card has resigned as President Bush’s Chief of Staff.

The bad news is that President Bush’s DNA apparently won’t allow him to associate with anyone who is not a longtime Bush family loyalist – thus Josh Bolten’s appointment as Card’s replacement.

Fortunately for the Bush family, Ronald Reagan put a premium on loyalty to Republican principles, not to himself personally. Otherwise, Reagan would not have selected George H.W. Bush as his vice president, and the first President Bush could never have made it to the White House on his own.

America has been poorly served because both President Bushes apparently are comfortable only with those who have pledged lifetime loyalty to the Bush family.

“Personnel is policy.” Non-conservative personnel results in non-conservative policies. President Bush has not governed as a conservative and will not govern in the future as a conservative as long as he insists on surrounding himself with moderate to liberal big-business, big-government Republicans.

And, conservatives will only support President Bush if he actually governs as a conservative.
