Jeb, if it’s wrong and/or unconstitutional, I’m just not going to support it. I’ve already compromised too much, for too long.

Jeb did a good job as gov. cause he kept spending way down.
But he is a social RINO and I am so very tired of the Bush’s, Clinton’s, and all the other politicians who refuse to go away.

Jeb Bush ... advised Republicans to work on the party's message

It isn't the message that has been the problem.

The problem has been with those claiming to be Republican and acting like Democrat-lite.

That was true of the last 'standard bearer' John McCain. And that was true of Jeb's sibling who occupied the White House the last 8 years.

Whenever the party leadership continues to push issues that a significant majority of the public, much less the party membership, are against, that signals a massive disconnect. And that massive disconnect has been the problem for too many years.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said it's time for Republicans "to listen a little bit, learn a little bit." He advised Republicans to work on the party's message and "not be so nostalgic."

Translation: Full RINO ahead. Guess what, Jeb? If your brother had listened to the base more instead of the country-club wing of the party, the GOP wouldn't be in this mess today.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney compared the GOP to Americans fighting the British during the Revolutionary War. "We are the party of the revolutionaries, they [Democrats] are the party of the monarchists," he told the overwhelmingly Republican crowd, saying the Republicans

This from the guy wwho signed Romneycare into law.

McCain is prominently featured in materials for the new group.

Oh, that's just brilliant. Feature the guy who just got his arse kicked, and the only reason he didnt' get his arse kicked three times harder was Palin.

If this is the future of the GOP, it's time to pull the plug and start over.

Jeb Bush is the idiot who sat around and did nothing while the property tax man and the the insurance companies savagely raped Floridians.

Another "Do Nothing GOP hack" who lets his corporate buddies and his bureaucratic friends in the government sock it to working people.

He and his kind are the reason the socialists have taken power.

They called me for money again today, and again I hung up on them. No money from me since they sent the solicitation that looked as if it came from the IRS. Bastards.

What a crazy family.

What an ass along with his Mexican wife.

He lost his first election for governor of Florida because of his liberal agenda. For one thing, he wanted to put mandatory Spanish in all the classrooms.

His wife got caught trying to sneak in several thousands of dollars worth of things through customs without declaring. She was flying in from Europe.

His crazy son is as left as they can get. He dreams of becoming president. Several years ago, this little idiot was in Mexico telling the Mexicans that not to worry about the boarder, etc. From where to you think he got that?

His crazy daughter is on drugs. I don’t know if she ever got herself clean.

What a great family.

Since they have not only included, but prominently featured, John McCain, this entire thing is stillborn.

They are really completely out of touch.

Whomever the GOP runs in ‘12...he/she is quite unlikely to win....the media has signed up for the duration of the Obama years.

Even Hitler did not have the kind of propaganda machine the Great One has. I don’t watch or listen much anymore...but every so often I tune in the “news” on NBC or CBS...you want a real hoot...? Try NPR! And of course there’s CNN.

Granted Fox goes right...and it helps point out how far left the rest of the media is.

#1. Get rid of the notion of “moderates. If the Dems have “moderates” and we have “moderates,” what the hell if the differecne between the parties?
#2. Stand by a particular political philosophy. I’d suggest: pro-family, pro-marriage between one man and one woman; pro-life; low taxes, limited Federal government instrusion into our lives and freedom; pro sovereignty of each State; a rational approach to immigration guided by laws; upholding the constitution and the Bill of Rights, especially the 1st, 2nd and 10th amedments to the constitution.
#3 Enunciate this political philosophy very clearly and give people a choice.

This is no great mystery. We don’t need gimicks and games. We don’t need fancy polls. Stand for something and then try to convince people that they are better off espousing these principles. No more; no less.

The title says it all - they're worried about "image". What about "principles"?

Too much marketing, not enough product.

These guys just don’t get it. The people are pissed!! The TEA Party Rebellion doesn’t just apply to Democrats! It was the Republicans that inititated TARP under RINO George W. Bush and supported by RINOS John McCain, Graham, Collins, Snowe, Specter, et al!! At least Specter had the balls to fall on his sword. Well, almost. Maybe he didn’t fall on it, but he’s history now!! So should be every other RINO Republican and socialist Democrat that sold out America!!

We’ve got our elephant guns out and we’ll be coming for RINO blood in November!!

And lame ass socialist RINO liar Mitt Romney can KMA!!

I think these RINOS saw what was happening with the Tea Parties, and wanted to “latch-on”, but it won’t work (unless they change their tunes, and actually become conservatives) becuase they aren’t willing to govern as conservatives, but instead focusing on minor “branding” public relations issues..!

RINO’s hard at work buffing the gilded turd.

No wonder this song is echoing in my head:

Cantcha’ smell that SMELL??
Oo-oo, that SMELL
The smell that surrounds you??
