Do Bush, Pataki, Perry and Rubio all have the same speechwriter and media team, or does it just seem like it?
The Bush family is establishment because it echoes and serves the needs of the establishment, in this case borders open enough to guarantee cheap wages. It is not surprising that Jeb Bush follows this line nor is it surprising that Marco Rubio follows this line because beyond being Hispanic, Rubio was mentored by Jeb Bush. They are all drawing their advisors and their speechwriters from the same pool and they all know that to deviate from political correctness on this issue is to drive them outside of the pool, the money pool that is.
The other day I wrote the following reply on FreeRepublic which was enriched by the contribution of Soul of the South who pointed out that George HW Bush was also derelict in the matter of immigration.
Here is that reply of a few days ago:
I remember my very first vanity on FreeRepublic criticizing George W. Bush for his failure to close the border long before the issue had become settled conservative politics of opposition to open borders and amnesty. I was berated for that vanity because the majority conservative opinion at a time when we hoped to win the Iraq war insisted on supporting George Bush in all things.
I criticized George Bush for permitting a condition to arise in which we would never win another national election. Now Ari Fleischer pops up to support his old boss for whom he was a mouthpiece by saying that we are offending the very same electorate that George Bush condoned or actually created. The Bush family predilection for unrestrained Hispanic immigration is now fully obvious to all of us. George Bush had the power as president of the United States quietly and effectively to enforce the immigration laws which were not limited to merely shutting down the border but to prosecuting offending employers who unfairly competed against their competition by hiring cheap illegal immigrants. He could have done this with minimal blowback from in the existing Hispanic community who could vote in America.
Bush would not.
Today, we are in this mess largely because George Bush wanted it this way. This pious advice from a Rino like Ari Fleischer makes any red-blooded conservative fiercely determined to stop any member of the Bush family from getting anywhere near the Oval Office.
They are all owned by The Cheap Labor Express and probably all have advisors provided by same.
I dont know, but what a bunch of idiots, those four.
You’re probably close to the truth. My guess would include Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt, both are wordsmiths and GOPe supporters.
