“...but it’s a little troubling sometimes when people are appealing to people’s fears and emotion rather than trying to get them to look over the horizon for a broader perspective and that’s kind...”
Ah, significant bull-Obama alert, significant bull-Obama alert.
Note that there is absolutely no real information in the above extract. Typical libstuff...all plastic, no metal.
Then again, Bush is a RINO...just as is RINOmney, RINOewt, McRINO and Bob DoRIno.
I guess Jeb doesn’t understand that the left is practicing political warfare for keeps. He seems to be under the impression that the left wants the same thing we do, just has a different way to get there.
If so, he is dead wrong.
Jeb Bush was never a conservative. Look at the history of the Bush family. They have always been establishment. Sorry to all the fans of the Bushes. Not trying to start a fight.
A brain-dead RINO?
But was Jebby a “Severe Conservative”?
Proof positive that the GOP establishment believes that the “age of Reagan” is over.
The entire Bush family suffers from ‘Blue Blood Guilt’ psychosis constantly trying to sound apologetic. “Kinder Gentler Nation”, “Compassionate Conservatism”, “Leave No Child Behind”.
Let me tell you about these Bushes.
They are less about being ‘conservativism’, than they are about POWER and WEALTH within a political Party that provides those political cards and bennies! They use the “conservatism” card to get membership in the political party club.
Spit it out, Jeb. It’s all about amnesty, is it not?
Well, he certainly isn't a Newt.
I used to be a “conservative” until I realized that conservatives seem to want to seize government just like liberals do. The difference being what they want to use government for. Thanks to von Mises, Rothbard and others, I now understand that big government threatens everybody’s liberty.
Everyone has heard of the Laffer Curve. Our country was founded on the basis that we need government so we can “enjoy the blessings of liberty”. However, above the amount of government needed to repel anarchy, the bigger the government, the less liberty that anyone can have, even if only because they are forced to work to pay for it in taxation.
So, just like there is a Laffer Curve for economic issues, there is a Liberty Curve: the more government we have, the less liberty we have, no matter how much we may cheer the way the current regime uses government in ways we like. This is because if we give anyone the legal power to expand government, sooner or later, government will be expanded at our own expense.
Our goal should maximize liberty, no maximize government, which the current crowd in Washington in both parties seems hell-bent on doing.
He used to be a “severe conservative,” now he’s a “reformed severe conservative.”
The only really meaningful thing old Jeb has ever done is save us from an Al Gore presidency.
My vote is an a**hole.
How sad, Jebbie is unsure still where he stands!
To me “RINO” isn’t valid anymore as a term to use. The whole mainstream Republican Party is what we term RINO. That makes “Republican in name only” = the whole damn Republican Party. I don’t tell anyone I’m a Republican anymore as that is saying I’m a RINO. Just say I’m a Conservative. Anything other than that is a RINO, period.
"Who let those yahoos into the club" is another way of communicating his sentiment.
Keep out da Bushes!
