The media have two great loves in life: liberals, and conservative who "grow" and become liberals. Jeb Bush, who clearly falls in the latter category, was the subject of a fawning piece in the New York Times. The article starts with a big photo of Jeb doing charity work a month ago (that's big news now!) and talks about Jeb's "progression" from "headbanging" conservatism to a "more nuanced approach." Yes, Bush calls conservatism "headbanging," which tells you in just one word what he thinks of conservatism.
Mr. Bush, 61, the former governor of Florida, insists that he will not contort himself to satisfy the ideologues of the Republican Party as he lays the groundwork for a possible presidential run in 2016.
Bush is so selfless! I haven't seen anyone this pure in the pages of the New York Times since their last story on Elizabeth Warren. If I put this article in the laundry with my socks and underwear, do you think they would all come out sparkling clean?
“There is an evolution in temperament and an evolution in judgment and an evolution in wisdom – and there is an evolution in his respect for others’ point of view,” said Al Cardenas, a longtime friend who insisted that Mr. Bush had “not changed his conservative values.”
I get it! His judgment has changed, but not his values.
No, I don't get it.
Sally Bradshaw, who advised Mr. Bush during that period, said: “He learned from his loss that there are ways to bring people together and ways to drive people apart. The lesson from ’94 was that he wanted to bring people together.”
Controlling the border drives people apart? How about a message of limited government, respect for private property, and the rule of law?

Jeb should just marry Romney and the NYTimes
could have a two-fer in the White House.
Remember in 2008 when the Times lived John McCain? Then on the day he sowed up the nomination they published a 3000 word hit piece on a mistress that he supposedly had (which turned out to be false).
The NYTs recognizes that Bush is easy to beat—ergo, he is there type of Republican.
The liberal media love to pick Republicsn candidates. Once nominated, they do everything they can to destroy them. When will we ever learn?
Sounds like “Compassionate Conservative” part Deux.
No thanks, Jorge Delano Arbusto was plenty enough.
Ford, Dole, McCain, Romney, JEB...
losers
Yep. They loved McLame until he sewed up the republican nomination. They are showing this same love for Jeb. They know he is a certain loser.
With the exception of lights like Cruz and Lee, I read information every day that validates my leaving the R party way back in 2008.
Yep. They loved McLame until he sewed up the republican nomination. They are showing this same love for Jeb. They know he is a certain loser.
Jeb’s the designated loser of our ruling oligarchy. They’ll drag him as far as the Republican nomination and then reject him for whatever RAT he’s up against.
Or worse—he’ll be elected.
One Sucks and other Blows... hard to tell which is which..
Jeb needs to do interviews with actual conservative or ballsy reporters. There must be one or two? Someone to ask him if he leaves his doors unlocked at night and his palatial manse gates open, in order to receive the love that some of his fellow Floridians might want to share with him by entering and partaking of a better life.
The Bushes have a deep disrespect for anyone stepping outside the lines of globalism’s political correctness. That includes people who are “nationalistic” - meaning they want politicians looking out for the interests of the US rather than foreigners.
NOT ONE NEW YORK TIMES JOURNALISTS WHO BACKED MCCAIN VOTED FOR MCCAIN. IT'LL BE THE SAME WITH JEB.
The Times wants to assist in picking the most liberal Republican they can find so that person will lose. Period.

He thinks he’s Obama.
