[Reagan 2.0]

Good points. George W seemed to really get the Reagan legacy and respect it, if not always act upon it. Jeb doesn't seem to agree.

Hey Jeb:

I don ‘t know about you, but I am impatient with those Republicans who after the last election rushed into print saying, “We must broaden the base of our party”—when what they meant was to fuzz up and blur even more the differences between ourselves and our opponents.

It was a feeling that there was not a sufficient difference now between the parties that kept a majority of the voters away from the polls. When have we ever advocated a closed-door policy? Who has ever been barred from participating?

Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?

No chance of another “President Bush”. To the left, “Bush” is the same as Hitler. To the right, it mean’s RINO, new world order, prescrition drugs, runaway spending, prosecute the troops and Border Patrol BS.

Maybe its not fair, maybe its not rational, but that the way it is. Ill never vote for another Bush. We have moved on.

I once had high hopes that W would be further removed from his fathers philosophy than he turned out to be. It was Bush 41 who first caused me to begin doubting and questioning the GOP. The statement "new world order" sent a chill down my spine, and his lack of committment to the 2nd amendment sealed the impression. I really hoped that more of Texas had rubbed off on W, and wiped liberal Connecticut away.

There just wasn't enough Texas to be found.

One Bush ended the Reagan Revolution...

And Jeb Bush ended Terri Schiavo.

[Hacklehead]

Bush 41 gave us the KKKlintons.
Bush 43 gave us Obama.
Keep out da Bushes. They have ruined this once great country.

The “Reagan Revolution” ended 20 years ago.

Time to start a new one and quit whining and blaming. The title of this thread sounds like a DU piece: Bush’s fault!!

Can we please grow up and start looking forward?

[cva66snipe]

W. Only respected the Ford/Poppy GOP or the Rockefeller Republicans. He like his dad and brother Jeb had no use for the Reagan GOP. How many high level key Reagan advisers did actually W have? I can't think of any. Now how many of Ford and Poppy's? See the problem? They mostly were Ford and Poppy's advisers. IOW 180 on the GOP political spectrum than Reagan.

GHW Bush was Ronald Reagan's biggest mistake. Allowing the Bush's to be elected POTUS was the GOP’s biggest mistake. Da Bush's as much as Clinton brought us to where we are today.

[ckilmer]

The trouble with the Bush’s is that they have intermarried with too many Mexicans. So they’re only talking to Americans out of one side of their mouths.

[hinckley buzzard]

Oh yeah. W respected Reagan by bloating dogshit goobermint even more than Clinton did. Go away with all the G--D-- Bushes. They are poison to the American body politic.

[golf lover]

Jeb, go away. Please!
