This is as cynical as his sociopath brother's declaring himself a "compassionate conservative."

dream world where every day the republican panic becomes more extreme and their attempts to become relevant,at any cost,inspire only ridicule.It's like having a surprise birthday party every day!

Let all conservatives finally, once and for all , rid ourselves of these Bush serpents. If it was not for Ronald Reagan the whole cursed family would be nothing but blue blood losers. Time to echo the immortal words of Cromwell to little boy bush:

“You have sat for too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!”

I am so enjoying this.

I see now, the moderates have formed a new Republican Party and want to bury Reagan and conservatives. Same bunch of losers Reagan had to beat back in order to win landslides in 1980 & 1984.

I don't see Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, etc. any true conservative, on that list. Shows how phony this 'new' GOP strategy is. Their 'listening' tour is bogus.

2010 Primaries are coming up. Time to sweep out the moderates one election at a time and put in some conservatives that will really listen to the people.

:rofl:

When I envision movement into the future these are 3 people I do not see as leading it.

Unless that future involves falling down into the abyss

out of the hopeless mess he left behind. His FCAT legacy continues and this year teachers have to tell the 3rd grade parents their kids might go to summer school and then again they might not. In other words, teachers are going to look like complete fools once again....just another part of jeb's ongoing "devious" (his word) plan to destroy public education in order to funnel the money to his buddies.

This is hysterical. These idiots don't have a clue about who Raygun really was. he just gave them really good speeches and propaganda line.

They love throwing the Bushes under the bus!

can save them. It's like clinging to the anchor while the ship sinks.

The economic gain was inevitable as the upswing would happen...most of our jobs were still here and the econonmy works in cycles. The defeat of the USSR was hardly at Ronnie's hands...but moreover at the hands of the single party USSR itself.

I'd say the family name won't have a lot going for it in the forseeable future.

Ah, it was Neil. And the bush boys seemed not to recall if they had met John Hinckley. Bush (42) staffers seem not to know anything about the families' connections, even though John Hinckley's dad tried to get 41 into the WH, then as VP candidate when that failed. Seems at least one of his sons worked to move 41's career onto an even faster track.

I know the Bush & Hinckley families were buds, oil being thicker than politics and all...

I am NO fan of Reagan, but the fact that clan bush seemed to want him out of their way sure makes Jeb's recent activities NOT a surprise.

If you voted for him twice you are 47.

I'm 30 I barely remember him as President.

Ronald Reagan at this point is not going to win you any voters who you don't have already.

is not the same Reagan that was actually president. I expect the GOP was hoping their pretend Ronald Reagan would appeal mostly to those who have no real memory of him. Those of us who do remember him know Reagan was nothing like the "image" that was created for him.

:rofl:

Along with their pretend compassionate conservatism, their pretend fiscal conservatism & their pretend family values.

"Pretend" politicians don't win you votes. It just says that the leaders you have now don't measure up to the leaders you had in the past.

He might not be the image they have created but he certainly was effective for them.

that's the only way they can come to power.

And the e-voting computers began to come in during the late 1960's ---

coincidentally about the time we passed The Voting Rights Act!

And, from what I hear about Reagan, evidently Bush became president right after the shooting!

blah blah blah ...

and I thought ... "um, the American people have spoken ... and they don't want Republicans running things ..."

what total hypocritical assholes.

That once McCain won, he would keel over dead so Sarah could be President. He considered her his ideal President. :dunce: :wow:

I think many of the fringe right wing nuts only voted for McCain for the same reason.

:rofl:

Hell even dead Reagan is more exciting than Poppy

"Now, if he had been at a couple of Tea parties, speaking out in thunderous rebuttal of the Hussein train, then I would be listening... "

"thunderous rebuttal?" ...pal, it's time to put the bottle down and seek help.


I would be very curious to hear what Phrigndumass or Grantcart would say in response to this:

"Not that our media and "expert" commentators will notice but the political climate in the US may be changing:

#1: According to Rasmussen's daily tracking poll on Obama's approval he was at +1 on Saturday. That's his lowest so far. Still those who "somewhat" approve are at 54% vs 45% for those who somewhat disapprove. But it is a large decline in approval rate since his heydays in late January.

#2: Another Rasmussen poll shows that for only the second time in 5 years the Republicans are polling better than the Democrats (41% vs 38%). The last time before this was in March.

#3 Despite an increase for the GOP in the generic congressional ballot, fewer voters consider themselves Republicans (32.6% vs 38.7% Dems).

#4 This is in keeping with the fact that 69% of GOP voters feel that their representatives in Congress have lost touch with their voters.

#5 It does not look like the voters want the GOP to move more towards the middle ground. Seventy-two percent (72%) of Republicans say it is more important for the GOP to stand for what it believes in than for the party to work with President Obama.

All of the above figures comes from various Rasmussen polls. But these figures tally well with some results from a recent Pew poll on gun control and abortion.

#6 In a Pew poll released 30 April, it was found that public attitudes on a pair of contentious national issues -- gun control and abortion -- have moved in a more conservative direction over the past year.

#7 For the first time in a Pew Research survey, nearly as many people believe it is more important to protect the right of Americans to own guns (45%) than to control gun ownership (49%). The figures for protection of the right to bear arms has never been so high, not even after 9/11, and the figure for gun control has never been below 54% before.

#8 The proportion saying that abortion should be legal in all or most cases has declined to 46% from 54% last August. Currently, 44% say abortion should be illegal in most (28%) or all cases (16%), up slightly since last August (41%). The Pew poll has only been this close on abortion once before (August 2001). Otherwise there has always been a larger proportion of the voters favouring abortion.

#9 Add to this the "tea parties" and fact that Arlen Specter had to change parties to stand any chance of saving his seat in the Senate I would say that there appears to be the beginning of a conservative backlash against the swing to the left in the elections of 2006 and 2008."

Notice how Americans are abandoning the "Republican" party and the number of "Independents" are shooting up?

These are disaffected Republicans abandoning a RINO party that lacks the guts to take on the media and the Messiah.


Yeah, and 2+2=5.

:popcorn:

immigrants, dark-skinned people, non-Christians, environmentalists, well-educated people, anti-war people, etc. etc., and now it is wondering why no one but white male Southern Baptist Bubbas will vote for Republicans.
