Need to Know January 18, 2011 Ahead of the curve! Lib writer praises Jeb Bush Posted by Staff Ezra Klein writes:
I think Jon Chait gets Jeb Bush very wrong here. When Bush says that "second-generation Hispanics marry non-Hispanics at a higher rate than second-generation Irish or Italians" and that "second-generation Hispanics' English language capability rates are higher than previous immigrant groups," he's directly answering a critique that has a lot of power among anti-immigration groups: that there's something different about this wave of immigrants as compared with previous waves of immigrants.

No matter what people think of Jeb, effective outreach to hispanics is extremely important.
Wrong. What you do is present a strong set of good principles, and the hispanics will come to you. That should be relatively easy, considering that the Democrats support every abomination there is.
"Outreach" means that you are tailoring your platform to specific issues for one particular group, which is also known as pandering. If pandering becomes your strategy, then it will be merely about who gives away the most goodies to that particular group, usually at the expense of all other groups, and at the expense of whatever principles you had. Furthermore, when it comes to giving away free goodies to various special interest groups, the amoral Democrats will ALWAYS do it better and with greater gusto. Don't try to compete with your enemies in areas where they are strong and you are weak.
If the GOP just stands up for what is right and good, the hispanics will come. Anything else will result in failure.

What kind of kool-aid are you drinking? Bush was a liberals dream president. His spending was only exceeded by Obamah, the government grew like mad under his direction (no child left behind, prescription drugs for seniors etc.) He gave us McPain. The guy did a terrible job.

There really seems like an elite small group of players. I think that is why Palin and the Tea Party are such a threat. The answer is not another Bush, Clinton, or an administration full of ex-clinton, Bush, Goldman Sachs people.
