zero-credibility alert.
Jeb talks good ... But Uhhh... George w Bush looked good on paper too in 2000....
Until he got elected and became the second coming of Lyndon Baines Johnson ...
He would b talking about the "good old" Reagan Days of smaller government, lower taxation, strong dollar, etc.
The LAST thing we need is another BUSH defining the Conservative Agenda.
> ...”Bush said America’s open immigration system is “one of our strengths”... <
What? We should not have an open immigration system. It should be tightly controlled with a strict limit of less than two hundred thousand per year allowed into the U.S.
Oh, wait! That’s what it is supposed to be legally, isn’t it?

WASHINGTON — Accusing politicians of "pounding their chests" on immigration for short-term political gain, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Tuesday that the tone of the debate had been "hurtful" to him and his Mexican-born wife, Columba.
Bush, the younger brother of President Bush, reserved some of his sharpest criticism for conservatives in his own Republican Party, calling it "just plain wrong" to charge illegal immigrants with a felony, as a provision passed by the Republican-led House would do. He also opposed "penalizing the children of illegal immigrants" by denying them U.S. citizenship, an idea backed by some conservatives but not included in the legislation.
"My wife came here legally, but it hurts her just as it hurts me when people give the perception that all immigrants are bad," the Florida governor wrote in an e-mail exchange with The Times.
Conservative agenda
1. We need to make some changes at the top.
Diga Jeb Arbusto....21st century consoivative = 20th century liberal
I voted for you 3 times, and I've never regretted it once, but let me now say "Bye bye, Jeb."
Jeb Bush will never get my vote, or anything else of mine except a drink of water if he’s dehydrating to death. And that he’d get with a lecture.
Open, legal immigration is fine. Giving people who are here illegally a short cut to citizenship is not. If they want to get in the back of the line for citizenship behind those following the process, I am personally fully comfortable letting that person stay here in the meantime as a documented worker who pays taxes into the system.
Jeb is probably the best and most conservative of the Bushes. He’s also the easiest to like. He’s a big confident guy with a very outgoing manner and is very good at getting support, but he also has principles and doesn’t grovel.
His biggest problem in Florida was that RINOs (such as Jim King) hated him and refused to support anything he did.
I will wait for a real conservative to lay out the next centuries agenda.
"Let's be 'compassionate' with other peoples' money. We'll just do it BIGGER!"
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "NEW VERSION OF CONSERVATISM".
Globalist. Bush mini-RINO.
I can tell you right now- I won't ever vote for another Bush. Not a single one, for the rest of my life.
I smell Super-Rino/Bush Family.
Jeb Bush for national anything = NOT ONLY NO, BUT HE** NO!
No way, uh uh, forget it, nyet, nein, lo, non, nay, jamais, niemals, etc.
Conservatives, STAY OUT DA BUSHES!
He forgot to mention one thing!
America needs to protect itself from being absorbed into another third world country!
The USA, by itself, is an amazing place...To let it disappear into this globalization scam is a travesty!
Most conservatives have had more than enough of the Bush family's version of "conservatism" without another worthless Bush family member telling us that they can improve and modernize it into socialism if we'd just give them an opportunity.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! In the name of all that is holy, No. More. Bushes. None. Zero. Zippo. Nada. Nichts. No Bushes, no more.
