Jeb Bush and Bobby Jindal appear in a commercial that will air Sunday to promote NewRepublican.org, a project focused on outlining a positive GOP agenda for the future.
The former Florida governor and the current Louisiana governor, both potential 2016 presidential candidates, support a super PAC that is the brainchild of Republican strategist Alex Castellanos.
If you believe that every parent ought to be able to choose their childs school, and that the economy should be driven from the bottom up, not the top down from Washington, then youre thinking like a New Republican, Bush says to the camera at the start of the 30-second spot, shared first with POLITICO.
If you dont think the Republican Party should be the party of big government, big business or big anything, youre thinking like a New Republican, adds Jindal.
Castellanos created the group last year after the partys losses in 2012, when he felt there was too much focus on attacking Barack Obama without a clear vision for where conservatives want to take the country.
Being the party that says dont touch the hot stove only gets us so far. We have to cook something, he said in a phone interview Thursday. Burning the other guys house down is fine, but we need to build a house that gives people a better place to live.

“21. We dont believe that New Republicans have to agree on everything.”
This is where they choose not to address social issues.
#19 is right on. Very Reaganesque...very Constitutional.
We dont believe that New Republicans have to agree on everything.
Uh, do I have to agree with that? IF I don't agree with that, am I not allowed in the club?
#25 doesn’t seem to make sense.
We believe states should have greater latitude in setting their own immigration policies, including more compassionate and employer-friendly guest worker programs, and a path to legalization for unauthorized immigrants.
Huh? I thought the federal government was responsible for immigration. Does this mean Minnesota can open its borders to any illegals? Kansas? New York?
This sounds downright stupid. Someone explain please.
I know Arizona took heat, but that appears to me to be a case where Arizona was choosing to ENFORCE EXISTING LAW that wasn't being enforced by the feds--not writing up a whole new policy.
Please don’t, Bobby...
I see way too much libertarian bull cheese.
This newrepublican.org is just more lipstick on the same RINO pig.
#50 bothers me...I do not like the word “populist”, as it denotes, to me, a “mob” mentality. One cannot be populist and still embrace individual freedom, can one?
#62 is good.
the phrase “public sector of government” confuses me.
It implies there might be legitimate ‘sectors’ of government which are not public.
I agree.
You are correct. Post the window that closed in 1808 (Article I, Sec. 9), that is one of the limited, defined, functional powers actually granted to the Federal Government (Article I, Sec. 8).

It’s time to found a Third Party named “Any Republican But Bush!”
Maybe we can get Ross Perot to finance it...
The same Bobby Jindal that wants to improve Obamacare. Screw you, Bobby.
If you believe that every parent ought to be able to choose their childs school, “
Of course they will all teach common core if Bush has anything to say about it. Retch!
TERRI SCHIAVO.
Jeb was governor of Florida. Terri was being murdered.
Jeb’s job was to stop the murder.
But he was too SCARED. The media would criticize him!
So, when YOUR life is in danger, and Jeb is President, will he be too scared to protect you?
Jeb Bush is unfit for any public office. He murdered a citizen of Florida.
I lost count of the euphemisms for “We are pro-abortion.”
support of dream act amnesty (which republicans are trying to sneak through)
support of amnesty in general.
support of non-judicial foreclosure cases (intending to remove a citizen's day in court)
tepid support at best for traditional marriage.
being an insider who was a political player when florida has massive financial corruption in state republican party.
how about this picture?
If you think it’s a great idea to join the Democrats in allowing illegal aliens to overrun our country and overwhelm our republic so that our business cronies can have cheap labor, youre thinking like a New Republican,
