Because he is a threat to Jeb’s chance at being President. As if the base would ever vote for another Bush.
So George P. can challenge him in 2018 as the “voice of reason”.
All they care about is the next step to acquire more power.
The original Bushies attacked Ronald Reagan.
The base voted for George P. overwhelmingly unfortunately
He’s too conservative for them.
The family that gave us the DHS and the TSA doesn’t like Cruz.
They coined the phrase "voodoo economics."
You can say that again, and again, and again..
Particularly the lazy slatterns like Laura, Jeb's Latina, the ditsy daughters, and BarBar. They can't take care of their homes and families, and won't take care of them legally. They need a little army of illegal aliens who get all the love that the Bushes never gave Republicans. The Bushes *hate* conservatives. They love abortion.
Become Democrats, for pity's sake! Leave us alone!
“Why Are the Bushies Attacking Ted Cruz?”
They are diametrically opposed.
It’s all about the dynasty.
Ted Cruz would a been banned from this forum in 2005 or at least under steady harpy fire from howlin sinkspur dane and bayourod and melas
If done properly, nation building works great.
As an example, McArthur’s Japan, which was set up with a constitution written expressly for them, and turned them into an economic powerhouse.
However, it was managed with care, and the assumption that if the Japanese did things the American way, they would succeed. And this was correct, with a few minor exceptions.
But when W. tried this in Iraq, it was problematic, right from the start. A big reason was that we tried to revitalize some of their existing institutions, instead of doing everything from scratch.
The lesson we should remember is that everything we tried to preserve was an utter failure. And everything we replaced in its entirety was more or less a success, at least for a while.
In Japan, the nation was ruled by a US military government, who made things work at peak efficiency. Only very gradually did we turn things over to the Japanese, and then only when they demonstrated mastery of doing things the right way.
But the US was just itching to turn over the reigns of power to a divided Iraqi people, who hated each others’ guts. And doing it too quickly, we used entirely corrupt Iraqis to run their new government, instead of new blood trained from scratch.
Our most success was modeling their military after the US military, for example having US Marines train some units and US Army other units; and setting up a large number of military schools to teach everything to every one of them.
But we tolerated really bad discipline, things like soldiers taking off from their unit on their own. This alone was a disaster. They should have been locked up in their barracks until granted leave.
Just another example of mistakes.
Jeb as the republican nominee guarantees a 3rd party. I know I would be voting 3rd party if Jeb is on the ticket.
A voice of reason from the Bushes..
No new taxes
Hey pass me the pretzels
Borders, Borders we DON’T NEED NO STINKING BORDERS!
Bush’s 2004 Second Inaugural, written with the help of the Weekly Standard‘s Bill Kristol and the Washington Post‘s Charles Krauthammer, was the high-water mark of foreign-policy overreach and the cusp of Republican fortunes,
I had no idea that speech was written by Kristol and Kraut. I remember it though. It was eerie, and almost creepy, in its messianic tone. "Overreach" is a mild word for it.
