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 child’s school, and that the economy should be driven from the bottom up, not the top down from Washington, then you’re thinking like a New Republican,” Bush says to the camera at the start of the 30-second spot, shared first with POLITICO.
“If you don’t think the Republican Party should be the party of big government, big business or big anything, you’re thinking like a New Republican,” adds Jindal.
Castellanos created the group last year after the party’s 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 ‘don’t touch the hot stove’ only gets us so far. We have to cook something,” he said in a phone interview Thursday. “Burning the other guy’s house down is fine, but we need to build a house that gives people a better place to live.”

Jindal is not a leader. He is a backup guy; an assistant. Not that there is anything wrong with that. It is a legitimate niche. But he is most comfortable backing up a stronger authority.
Whatever the “legal complexities” of the case, the end result was that Terri was lying in a bed, being murdered. At that point, it was Jeb’s duty to come in—IN PERSON, if necessary—with cops and troops, and stop the murder. Terri was not dying. She was being murdered.
I have no problem with anybody’s opposing Jeb for any reason.
I am a one-issue Jeb-opposer: He proved himself a cowardly murderer. Or a murderous coward.
He proved that his “future” was worth more to him than a citizen’s life. He proved that his oath of office meant nothing, if keeping to it was going to cost him something.
Why would a craven murderer suddenly have courage and convictions with respect to other issues? Of course Jeb always has his finger in the wind. Of course he always tries to please the Left and deceive the Right.
I started reading, and liked most, thought a few were BS platitudes, and then saw how long the list was and gave up. AND I AM INTERESTED IN POLITICS. No one less interested than me (90% of America) will ever read all that poop. BREVITY!
If this new Republican Party is this verbose on their platform, their speeches will be useless.
They need to try to consolidate into 5-10 principles. Seriously.
That is exactly the reaction I had.
Started to read through them and get bored!
Not good.
yes. too much, i agree.
A simple, to the POINT thing....like the Contract with America...
Maybe they will eventually condense them all down to “Ten Commandments” or something like that....
