Is Cruz right? Is Bush cut out of the same mold as Romney?
Bush is extremely soft on amnesty. If I recall right, he considers illegal immigration to be an act of love. A corny comment, for sure, but moreso it says exactly how he thinks about illegal immigration.
He has essentially the position of hard line libertarians...borders should not exist. (Can someone please explain to me how “no borders” is a libertarian concept? Does it mean they don’t believe in countries and governments? In one world government? And exactly when in history do they see such a thing taking place given past history?)
He used to support natural marriage and no special rights for homosexuals. No telling where he is now.
He has always supported guns.
He is quasi pro-life (rape, incest, life of mother) and anti fetal stem cell research, but Terry Schiavo could have been been a time when he overruled a judge, and he did not do it.
He wanted to know if judicial candidates believed in God. Like the rest of his family, he attends church.
So, is he another Romney? the above suggests he’s better than Romney. Romney was pro-gay, quasi gun, pseudo life (health of mother), and pro border control.
So, if Cruz meant GOPe, then he’s right about Bush. If he meant the same positions on issues, then he’s close but not quite correct. Bush is better than Romney was.
IMO, Cruz is the answer to the future of the republican party. Either they go with a potential winner or fold their tent and go into history as the party that would not adjust to what is needed for survival. Yes there are other candidates who might be winners but from this next of the woods, I have yet to see the right one(s). Either the rhino’s conform or die.
*blech* Romeny's stance on immigration alone puts him on top of any Bush. Romney was "equal rights" in employment etc, not pro marriage, and didn't even like the idea of civil unions for gays.
On a 10 scale. Bush 1, Romney 5. Full disclosure. I liked Newt.
I know he wasn’t pro life when it came to Terri Shiavo
