I will not be party to further establishing a Bush dynasty in the USA. Jeb, the poor little rich kid, might think it’s his turn to play with the family ‘white house toy’, but supporting an American aristocracy is one of the many reasons to oppose Bush....and Hillary, too, for that matter.
Interesting article. Comments?
There are plenty of reasons (amnesty, common core, etc) to oppose Jeb Bush, without resorting to his last name. The fact is that if he had an established rep as the Reaganite black sheep of the Bush clan, he’d be appealing. But he has anything other than that rep.
That having been said, in the mid-1990s I worked and socialized with a lot of Movement Conservatives who had started in the Reagan Administration and risen to mid to senior level (including Senate confirms, not just Sched Cs) in the later Reagan Admin and Bush Administration (having been carried over). They were universally ticked off at Bush for two big reasons: the breaking of the no new taxes pledge and not putting up a real fight against Clinton (”if he didn’t want to fight for it, he shouldn’t have run” was the common sentiment)
So the assertions made in this piece don’t really mesh with my own recollections and experiences having lived through that era. It strikes me as a piece intended to apply blood guilt/guilt by association to Jeb Bush using what’s at best a very weak argument about his father.
Which isn’t needed in Bush’s case. There’s PLENTY of stuff to disqualify him as a Conservative and as the GOP nominee, on the merits of the policy positions he holds.
Excellent and true. GHW Bush was Reagan’s worst mistake. A real poison pill of GOPe.
I added ‘Terri Schaivo’ to the keywords on your post. I urge EVERYONE to help me do the same whenever Jeb is mentioned in any context.
Terri Schaivo. I will NEVER vote for Jeb. NEVER.
If its Jeb — the Republic is Dead.
