Bush (the smarter one): Time To Bury Reagan

[wyldwolf]

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Saturday that it's time for the Republican Party to give up its "nostalgia" for the heyday of the Reagan era and look forward, even if it means stealing the winning strategy deployed by Democrats in the 2008 election.

"You can't beat something with nothing, and the other side has something. I don't like it, but they have it, and we have to be respectful and mindful of that," Mr. Bush said.

The former president's brother, often mentioned as a potential candidate in 2012, said President Obama's message of hope and change during the 2008 campaign clearly resonated with Americans.

"So our ideas need to be forward looking and relevant. I felt like there was a lot of nostalgia and the good old days in the Republican messaging. I mean, it's great, but it doesn't draw people toward your cause," Mr. Bush said.

4. I read that remark yesterday. It also mentioned that there were quite a few upset Pubs who

responded by saying "NO MORE BUSHIES"!

Actually, I think it's the first time I ever agreed with any of the Bushies. It IS about time to bury Reagan!

10. Yep, just ask us Floridians

He's only smarter because he fucked up just FL and not the entire country yet.

11. And, the REASON it Resonated

with voters was because of the way his brother, cheney, and rove drove the country in the Abyss..he'll not tell ya that.

He's always got something "Devious" up his sleeve.
