Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush warned the Republican presidential hopefuls against ideological intransigence and knee-jerk opposition to President Barack Obama on Tuesday, saying they risk turning off middle-of-the-road voters.
Asked by Fox News host Neil Cavuto if some Republicans go too far in their criticism of Obama, Bush said flatly, “I do. I think when you start ascribing bad motives to the guy, that’s wrong. It turns off people who want solutions.

Well they voted for Sarah, but her running mate was so pathetic and unappealing, he still lost.
Obummer is purposefully destroying this country and we’re supposed to be nice? That’s RINO bs and it hasn’t worked in the past, doesn’t work now, and never will work. Move along Jeb.
BS
Obamacan be defeated by simply telling the truth ( Something I thought Republicans stood for)
Whatever Obama’s motivations, he has screwed things up ....thats all you need to say
i personally think he needs a about a lifetime of therapy to overcome his mental problems but that is neither here nor there as far as political arguments go ....Dems lied about Bush because they had to to win ....It does not make it right
If Reagan was still around I believe he would simply say all hands on deck ....We need all forms of Republicans to win
If you want a war in the Republican party right now you will help Obama
I’ll take Rove
The Bushs McCaine
Palin
anyone that wants to work to defeat Obama
Its that simple
There must be a worse word than RINO.. well he’s “IT”...
Boot licker?...
He’s right, we ought not to run against Obama as a person. We have to run a campaign stating what *WE* are all about: our issues, our policies, our stances, our beliefs.
And then illustrate the differences between Obama’s issues, policies, stances, and beliefs.
Which is different than just saying “Obama’s bad, m’kay”.
Spoken Like True Bush,Rino Pig,Sure did us a Lot of good with those Saints called Moderates last time. Hey Bush go Jump
Good point Woofie.
Thanks for your response. I respect your opinion and agree with much of it.
Just out of curiosity, what do you think his motives are?
There has been so much analysis of his background (outside of the MSM). His narcissism, his associations, his background has been well analyzed and discussed in places like the American Thinker, Free Republic, others.
He has been surrounded his entire life by people who hate Capitalism and who hate America. Mix that in with what we know was a unconventional childhood and you get someone who is out to settle the score; someone with a severely distorted view of America and someone with an arrogant superiority complex.
I sincerely believe he is purposely trying to transform our Republic in a way that weakens and ultimately turns it into a third world banana Republic. I believe in 2012 he will get a rude awakening. I hope when he leaves office we never hear from him again.
Very nice analysis, not one I disagree with, but I take it a bit deeper. I believe he has been listening to Liberation Theology for most of his life and he believes it. LT is a heresy, in my mind, of basic Christianity that includes Marxism components in it. (This Marxism cancer, by the way, also metastasized to Farakkhan's Nation of Islam, although the spread began in the 1930s during the depression.) The key theological flaw of LT is that Jesus died for all mankind -- either all are saved or all are condemned. (From this flaw you get such gems as, "It takes a village to raise a child.") At any rate, bad theology, bad result, and we clearly are seeing that.
I find it compelling that Obama believes that re-inventing our economy is doing the Lord's work. I make no judgment as to whether Obama is a Christian, but he clearly is doing the devil's work. And that makes his policies very evil.
The Bushes are fools who seem to be rather sanctimonious. You can lay the responsibility of where this country has headed in these yrs. on them. There is nothing admirable with acting as if what this monster is doing to this country is good and with honorable intentions. Never again.
The “shrubs” have turned into weeds for me.
Well said. That’s how it is. The Bushes are part of the problem.
“fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can’t get fooled again.”
I hope conservatives remember this if Jeb Bush runs for ANYTHING in the future.
“Even O’Reilly isn’t stupid enough to believe your grand conspiracy idea. He called Rove out on his behavior toward Perry tonight and the candidate he is actually supporting. Hint...not Perry.”
Hmmmm, if Rove is not supporting Perry, maybe I ought to give Perry another look.
