Why do RINOs like Jeb and Romney want to ditch Pres.Reagan?

Answer:

"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
 which must not be compromised to political expediency
or simply to swell its numbers."

--  President Ronald Reagan


"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
 over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
 to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""

--  President Ronald Reagan

I don’t know many people (including conservative Republicans) who would EVER vote for another Bush for President. EVER. They would stay home.

I’m beginning to believe that the Bush family runs as Republicans simply because in Texas you had to be Republican in order to win an election. They are becoming nearly as bad as McCain. One thing Jeb is right about is that we have to look forward and not backward - the Bush family has run its course. It is now time to find some REAL Republicans to fill the gap.

President Obama's message of hope and change during the 2008 campaign

is becoming a national joke (or worse).

I just wrote this in an e-mail to a friend:

Not that our media and "expert" commentators will notice but the political climate in the US may be changing:

#1: According to Rasmussen's daily tracking poll on Obama's approval he was at +1 on Saturday. That's his lowest so far. Still those who "somewhat" approve are at 54% vs 45% for those who somewhat disapprove. But it is a large decline in approval rate since his heydays in late January.

#2: Another Rasmussen poll shows that for only the second time in 5 years the Republicans are polling better than the Democrats (41% vs 38%). The last time before this was in March.

#3 Despite an increase for the GOP in the generic congressional ballot, fewer voters consider themselves Republicans (32.6% vs 38.7% Dems).

#4 This is in keeping with the fact that 69% of GOP voters feel that their representatives in Congress have lost touch with their voters.

#5 It does not look like the voters want the GOP to move more towards the middle ground. Seventy-two percent (72%) of Republicans say it is more important for the GOP to stand for what it believes in than for the party to work with President Obama.

All of the above figures comes from various Rasmussen polls. But these figures tally well with some results from a recent Pew poll on gun control and abortion.

#6 In a Pew poll released 30 April, it was found that public attitudes on a pair of contentious national issues -- gun control and abortion -- have moved in a more conservative direction over the past year.

#7 For the first time in a Pew Research survey, nearly as many people believe it is more important to protect the right of Americans to own guns (45%) than to control gun ownership (49%). The figures for protection of the right to bear arms has never been so high, not even after 9/11, and the figure for gun control has never been below 54% before.

#8 The proportion saying that abortion should be legal in all or most cases has declined to 46% from 54% last August. Currently, 44% say abortion should be illegal in most (28%) or all cases (16%), up slightly since last August (41%). The Pew poll has only been this close on abortion once before (August 2001). Otherwise there has always been a larger proportion of the voters favouring abortion.

#9 Add to this the "tea parties" and fact that Arlen Specter had to change parties to stand any chance of saving his seat in the Senate I would say that there appears to be the beginning of a conservative backlash against the swing to the left in the elections of 2006 and 2008.

Hmm, I guess Jeb Bush does not agree with my analysis.

What the Democrats have is the MSM, willing to wage a PR campaign for the left 24/7. Until the Republicans quit fearing the MSM and learn how to ‘out’ it, they’ll be the minority party.

Apples. Trees. Distance.

You get the idea.

Please, someone tell the Bushes they are over. We don't need/want you losers anymore.

i know what he is trying to say, but he is saying it wrong. - and to the wrong people

Hanging with Mitt is not a good idea.
Now, if he had been at a couple of Tea parties, speaking out in thunderous rebuttal of the Hussein train, then I would be listening...

How ironic that he speaks these words on the day the great Jack Kemp passes away.

We’ve been warning conservatives about Jeb Bush for years. I hope everyone now understands who and what these people are.

Let all conservatives finally, once and for all , rid ourselves of these Bush serpents. If it was not for Ronald Reagan the whole cursed family would be nothing but blue blood losers. Time to echo the immortal words of Cromwell to little boy bush:

“You have sat for too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!”

Someone who was there ~ quick ~ is that the writer putting words in Jeb's mouth about "message of hope and change" or did Jeb utter them?

That wasn't the "message" Obama was peddling. In fact, it looked more like "make me the first Negro President because it's historic and you'll feel good".

There was absolutely nothing else in the guy's campaign that was positive.

You can not out liberal a liberal, all you end up with is liberal lite - which just ticks off conservatives and liberals alike - since you don't go far enough for a liberal, and you go too far for a conservative.

If you take a stand, and you make it a very clear difference between the two parties, you set exact goals, and actually intend to implement them if you win, you do something which has been absent for some time - you make a difference between the parties and the candidates and offer the electorate a choice.

Jeb, if you're looking for a roadmap, might I point out attacking the vast amounts of money that is being spent, the huge tax raises that have already gone into effect, and the outright taking of private property by the federal government, destroying investments for private citizens and ensuring there is no chance of recovery for those companies?
