It only took a couple of days after the rejection of their most recent manufactured candidate for GOP-elites to start wildly groping for their next manufactured candidate to keep the conservative wing of the party at bay. And whose name pops up? Another George Bush. Imagine that.
Not that George P. Bush seems like such a bad guy. I'm sure he's quite nice, really. He's photogenic, well-spoken, and, wouldn't you know it, Hispanic, too. What a great fit for the future of the GOP-elite. When you consider his family's history of using the conservative wing of the GOP like a two-dollar whore to advance themselves, he sounds like exactly the sort of candidate we can expect to get shoved down our throats in the near future.
No one can talk conservative while expanding government as effectively as the Bushes. Bush 41 made sure to sell himself as the continuation of the Reagan Revolution, only to spend the bulk of his four years in office pursuing a globalist agenda, and defenestrating the ideology that made Reagan succeed. On the heels of Ronald Reagan, the GOP could have gotten a chef salad elected president in 1988. One has to wonder how anyone could squander the success of Ronald Reagan any more efficiently than did Bush 41. Hard to imagine topping that act, but his son sure did.
W squeaked into office after winning a contest against Al Gore, who we have come to realize is one of the most unpalatable potential leaders possibly ever to run for the White House. Against the backdrop of Al Gore's unhinged emotional outbursts and childlike sense of entitlement to the office of President, W looked downright Presidential. He looked decisive and cool under fire and, we were assured, was far to the right of his father. We saw how accurate that was when he backed the monstrous government intervention into the free market we know as TARP, and thereby sealed his legacy and, in the bargain labelled the entire GOP as big-government conservatives, whatever the hell that means.
We don't need another Bush. George P. Bush may be a great guy, but I've had about a bellyful of the Bush family wiping their butts with the vision and ideals of the conservative wing of the GOP. No mas, por favor. No mas.
They are there; but they can’t get elected now; but they will.
He’s adorable.
Which is no doubt why the CBC was promoting his name with such alacrity as though they were not just making a suggestion but making a pronouncement. They also had a panel on talking about how the Tea Party was “racist” [ though in Canada anything to the right of Jimmy Carter is racist ] & their bloated correspondent Keith Boag openly asserted that the “wrong decision” [ he said that! ] for the Republican Party to take would be to run a Right Wing [ he used that term too! ] or “more conservative” [ reality to Boag: Romney was not an actual conservative ] candidate next time. He said it would “only makes sense to themselves but no one else”! I find it alarming that a news correspondent & a foreign one at that was telling an American political party that they had to drop their values even more in order to win. The general theme they were promoting was that the era of conservative Presidents was over & that the Republican Party had to change & be even more like the opposition. Canadians are taught that American conservatives are the Christian equivalent of the Taliban or are closet racists. That is why they actually wanted the Zero to win.
