Republican political figures in recent days announced policy programs to challenge President Barack Obama's agenda and to counter perceptions that the GOP is a listless, leaderless "party of no."
In doing so, they're highlighting their differences with the Republican National Committee's political strategy.
House and Senate Republican lawmakers were the latest to launch a group independent of the RNC, announcing the formation of the National Council for a New America.
The group comprises potential GOP presidential candidates who plan town hall-style meetings to promote ideas different from Obama's. Their aides and allies have been vexed by the lack of comprehensive alternatives put forward by the national Republican leadership.
"One of the things that's constantly stated by the Obama administration spokesman is that the Republicans are the 'party of no,' and that the conservatives don't have ideas," said former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, whose brother, President George W. Bush, many blame for the party's unpopularity. "But conservatives, in general, have not done a great job on putting forward their ideas."

That is why I said that IF THE DEMOCRATS HAVE ALREADY BROUGHT AMNESTY he may be the most electable.
Each time you seem to read something different than I said.
bttt
For once I agree with Jesse Jackson, “Stay Outta Da Bushes.”
I knew I wouldn’t be the first one to post that thought. But it’s so true.
“Jeb Bush to Help Rebuild GOP”
God help us.
Amen.
Sure. Romney is just another Arlen Specter (i.e. "up East" Republican). Trying to sell Romney as anything other than the liberal that he is wasting your (and my) time.
If Jeb Bush is gonna help “Rebuild” the GOP, then adios GOP..Geez what part of THROW OUT THE RINOS do they not understand, and don’t worry, I don’t blame you, I voted for Sarah too
I plan to have “Don’t blame me I voted Palin” carved on my grave marker.
1. The 1977 version of Jesse Jackson was very pro-life. He even wrote a solid essay on it, which you can read here. (Of course, now he's flipped sides and is a strong proponent of killing babies.)
2. "Capitalism without capital is only an 'ism' - an abstraction". (It was one of Jack Kemp's favorite statements, so he repeated it - and attributed it properly - a lot.)
Thus at some point - 1991 or so - Jesse Jackson came out as a proponent of enterprise zones in urban areas. (Of course, now he's flipped sides, calling setting up enterprise zones in post-Katrina New Orleans "disaster capitalism".)
3. That whole "wanna cut his nuts off" thing last summer. (Of course, now he's flipped sides on that, too....)
An excellent statement of the facts. Good on you, bub!
Somethings are obvious but demand to be said anyways ;-)
In fact, that calls for a new tag line...
Palin is still struggling with English.
Jeb Bush cjould start with rebuilding himself before he takes on the impossible task of cleaning up after his brother.
