Not drivel, actually.
I see what Jonah’s doing here. And it’s not speaking to you, me or most other Freepers.
What he’s doing is speaking to GOPe-ers who do see Bush as a Conservative and also see him as an establishment security blanket who brings lots of money and high name ID to what looks to be a winnable race.
So he starts off by validating their perceptions of Bush, in a rhetorical hook.
He THEN seems to make the case that, in addition to a Conservative the GOP also needs a CHANGE candidate. Which Bush is definitely not.
Now, that starting point doesn’t fly for us. But it will for dome GOP primary voters and might for a lot more. IMHO the most effective argument to convincing many GOP primary voters to vote for Cruz or Walker isn’t to attack Bush for being GOPe, or a moderate or a Liberal, but for being ... stale. In an election that requires motivation and excitement.
Some, not dome.
We differ. I don’t believe in giving any semblance of conservatism to any BUSH, even when it might suit some more convoluted purpose.
You show him up for what he is - a dynastic privileged legacy with outright non-sovereign leanings. The very idea of him speaking only-Spanish in his home is a personal effrontery to me, frankly. It speaks of an unclear loyalty which lacks a dogged conservative nationalism that I’d DEMAND from a candidate.
I’m not into nuance and convolution. I’m into trashing him hard,fast and permanently - the sooner the better, now rather than later.
