[Joe Brower]

Overall I'm overall pleased with Jeb Bush, but this "hurtful" talk is the sort of touchy-feely crap I'd expect from liberals.

When it comes to immigration, Jeb has got some heavy-duty blinders on.

We need a TR on the job for this!

Teddy Roosevelt Quotes on Immigrants

Re your post #21 - LOL...well, he is being "touchy feely" on this in terms of his own wife. And, I imagine, in terms of knowing he is talking to the LA Times, where out in CA, as you know, there was a huge backlash against the GOP because of that proposition whatever it was. (Gov Bush is quoted in this article as saying how the GOP was hurt in the past in CA, due to that proposition. )

So, I guess he is saying it is hurtful on both a personal level and political one, as that proposition also hurt the GOP out there. And, again, I think he is mindful of his audience for the LA Times.

I really think his main purpose was to raise the tone of the debate to something more civil. It can have a civil tone, though it hasn't, and I think I understand why: because this issue has been ignored for way too long. Consequently, over time -- people have become furious about it.

When it comes to immigration, Jeb has got some heavy-duty blinders on.

On one hand, he probably has a better perspective on the the situation than most of us. On the other, he should know that we look to him to be a bit more conservative than most politicians. On this issue I believe he is wrong, at least the way he has protrayed it.

I've been harping about Jeb for a solid year.

I'm glad that he's emboldened now to get on Fox news and tell the world that his feelings are hurt. (sure)

Mama's boy telegraphs to legal and illegal Hispanics that his wife is Mexican. This was nothing but a PLOY to keep the illegals in the streets and keep them ginned up.

Gin, em up Jeb.
