Stop beating around the bushes...NO MORE BUSH’s! DONE!
“When Hispanics start voting Republican, that’s when we should start representing their immigration interests.”
I’m paraphrasing a famous quote by Albert Shanker, for Teachers’ Union president, that is as follow:
“When schoolchildren start paying union dues, that’s when I’ll start representing the interests of schoolchildren.”
Bush knows his Presidential dream is over if Romney wins 2 terms with Ryan as his VP.
Is he bitter he didn’t get the VP nod? Is he trying to sabotage Romney?
I say it’s a strong maybe.
The Hispanic Caucus agrees with you!
You are in tune with my thoughts about Jeb’s comment. It sounds like the guy doesn’t know/understand there is more involved than just being in the USA. Would he take anybody into the ‘cause’ just to win an election. I can see that with a Latino wife he he enjoys the culture but to side with criminals of such culture is beyond being faithful to our laws and Constitution.
To quote Pat Paulson
“All the problems we face in the United States today can be traced to an unenlightened immigration policy on the part of the American Indian.”
Shut yer trap and go away, Bush. What a family of RINOs.
STEP #1...
Jeb Bush comes out in support of illegals amnesty.
STEP #2...
Jeb Bush comes out in support of Obama.
STEP #3...
Former Gov Jeb Bush joins Former Gov Charlie Christ, in hitting the campaign trail for the reelection of Obama.
Can someone put Jeb in a locked closet for the next few months. Jeez.
Democrats will show you how to be tough on illegals IF they're being hurt by the process.
Do the above and dems will ‘send elian gonzalez’ home... They'll tell Homeland Security to ‘shoot on sight’ and TSA to harass. Southern Poverty Law Center will stamp them as a hate group.
Dems would NEVER put up with this crap.
Jeb needs counseling if his ego is so weak it has to be stroked by the gratitude of illegals. The same illegals who after kissing his butt, will turn on the average US citizen. Here's a flash Jeb, there are NO jobs. The country is BROKE. We can't afford to open the gates so you can feel good about yourself. There are LEGAL ways for people to come here. The ones who come here illegally have no respect for our laws - immigration or other. Grow up Jeb Bush. Get a job with the New York Times... fit in...
Perhaps Jeb should join Charlie Crist, and come on out of the closet.
Technically, since Obama hasn't betrayed Kenya or Indonesia, he'll have to be historically synonymous with some other lists of attrocious behaviors.
FUJB
Shut up Jeb. Conservatives are tired of Bushes, and so is the country. If the GOPe has any sense, they’d be tired of them too.
Actually, Jeb, you are right. The tone should be changed - and it should become ever more intolerant of racism coming from minorities and directed at American society as a whole. The tone should also be changed to expect that all those who come to the US come here because they love this country and want to melt into American society.
Jeb, when looking at the totality of the land mass represented by the Americas, the US land mass is less than Canada's, and less than half of the land mass represented by the countries to our south. On our land mass we have a mix of peoples with heritage from around the world. Most of the other countries that make of ‘the Americas’ do not have that kind of diversity. Yet, many actually profess to hate the US, while at the same time feeling entitled to partake of our resources. So from which side should the tone change?
Time for you to wake up.
Way past time the Bushes...Clintons ...and Kennedys stand down.
I will never forgive Jeb Bush for standing around with his hands in his pockets while a woman was murdered in broad daylight. Jeb Bush literally stood aside and allowed Terri Schiavo to be murdered. He fretted. He talked. But he did nothing.
This is what I don’t understand with these guys like Jeb Bush. Its like they just don’t get it. What they are suggesting is that we accept the narrative of the left and that one can’t be anti-illegal immigration and be pro immigrant which isn’t true at all. If people like Jeb Bush would stop with this silly rheotric and start leading efforts at true out reach rather than thinking out reach means pandering to illegal aliens we’d be in a much better place. I don’t want more hispanics in the party if they are neosocialists with a third world mindset. I want a big tent that invites more conservatives of all stripes and nothing more. We don’t need politically correct enforcing lgbt, nor women who think killing their unborn children is priority number one nor people from the third world looking for the government to take care of them.
“Join our cause?”
In 1863 Republican President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. In 1865 the Republican Congress and President made the 13th Amendment, freeing the slaves, possible. It was followed by the 14th Amendment giving citizenship to the slaves, and the 15th Amendment giving them the right to vote. Again, the Amendments were Republican not Democrat initiatives. The Democrat Party then proceeded to enact Jim Crow and other laws in a number of states effectively denying black citizens the rights protected by the 14th and 15th amendments. These anti-black were enforced by Democrat majority rule in the former Confederate states until the mid 1960’s when the Civil Rights Act (1964) and the Voting Rights Act (1965) as the result of Republican votes which overcame the no votes of the Southern Democrats. In the House 80% of Republicans voted for the Civil Rights bill and 82% of Republican Senators voted for it.
Since 1968, the first Presidential election after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, at least 80% of black voters have cast their ballot for the Democrat candidate in the Presidential election.
Given the historical experience with the African American voter, does Mr. Bush really expect HIspanic voters to reward the Republican Party with their votes if the party joins the side of amnesty?
