Jeb: Reagan, Bush Sr. ‘would have hard time’ in new GOP
“Former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida said his father, George Bush, and Ronald Reagan would find themselves out of step with today’s Republican Party because of its strict adherence to ideology and the intensity of modern partisan warfare.
“Ronald Reagan would have, based on his record of finding accommodation, finding some degree of common ground, similar to my dad, they would have had a hard time if you define the Republican Party — and I don’t — as having an orthodoxy that doesn’t allow for disagreement,” Mr. Bush said at a question-and-answer session with reporters and editors held Monday morning in Manhattan by Bloomberg View.
“Back to my dad’s time or Ronald Reagan’s time,” he said, “they got a lot of stuff done with a lot of bipartisan support that right now would be difficult to imagine happening.”
I think that’s notable for several reasons. It helps to explain why Bush, like Mitch Daniels, Chris Christie and other more pragmatic Republicans, declined to run for president this cycle even though, as Jeb said last week, “This was probably my time.” They were unwilling to claim to believe the nonsense that is required to win the nomination in this day and age, and abandoned the field to the far-more-malleable and opportunistic Mitt Romney.
Jeb’s more honest appraisal of his party is a welcome if belated effort to pull it back from the brink and force it to become more responsible. As the former Florida governor noted last week:
“Here’s what I know to be true. Next year or the year after there’s going to have to be a grand bargain. We are on an unsustainable course. It is not possible to continue to do what we are going — what we’re doing today. It’s just not possible. And I think most people that have looked at our structural deficit problems would admit it. If they were put on a lie detector or, you know, under oath or something like that, they would admit it.”
Asked about comments to Congress that he would be willing to take a hypothetical $10 in budget cuts for every $1 in higher revenue, Bush said his willingness to take that deal shows that he is no longer seeking office as a Republican.
“It was living proof I’m not running for anything I think more than anything else,” Bush said.
I’ve said it before repeatedly: This nation needs a sane, rational and conservative Republican Party, and those adjectives — “sane, rational and conservative”– should not be and need not be contradictory, as they have become in recent years.
I agree with Jeb about the necessity of a grand bargain on the nation’s financial future. But I very much worry that Republican leadership and the Republican media machine have succeeded so well in drilling the “no new taxes” mantra into the head of their base that they no longer have any room in which to manuever and negotiate.
Given his statements in recent days, I suspect that Jeb Bush has had similar thoughts.

49% of American citizens pay no federal income tax but no one seems too upset about that.
So you think it’s fine that 49% of the people in this country are too poor to meet even the existing low standards for being subject to an income tax? You want to tax them regardless? You have no problem with somebody’s making $150,000 in capital gains and avoiding any income tax whatsoever, but you believe it’s immoral for people barely scraping by not to pay income tax? That tells me more than I ever wanted to know about you.

Paul Ryan and the Tea Party are the only ones trying to get our out of control spending under control. Yet you label them as extremists. Even if you roll back the Bush/Obama tax cuts and institute the Buffet rule, it still will just make a small dent in our defecit. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE SOME MAJOR CHANGES AND CUTS TO OUR SOCIAL PROGRAMS!!!
That is a fact Jay. A few of the Repubs are the only ones with the guts to speak the truth. The Dems are the ones shooting it down with scare tactics. Those are facts Jay you are unwilling to admit.
Its funny back in the primaries you hammered the Bachmans, Gingriches, Herman Cains, Perry, etc and said Romney was the only sane choice. Now that he is the nominee, he is extreme and crazy too.
As someone said, if more goverment spending were the solution, Greece, and its buddies economies would be going like gangbusters. What is crazy Jay, is adovacting more government spending/borrowing to GROW out of an economy. Now that IS crazy!!!!

Kyle has written many scathing articles about the Repub here in the state legislature.
Could that be because there’s only about 10 Democratic Party members left in state government here? Almost anything dealing with the state government in Georgia will be a topic on Republicans. Even Stevie Wonder could see that.

Do you know how long it will take Paul Ryan’s budget plan to actually balance the budget? The CBP estimated the year 2040, but they are not always accurate with their predictions. It could be as soon as 2035 or as late as never. I wouldn’t call his plan as a serious attempt to do anything other than to claim to have put forth an idea. He is, however, not trying to get anything under control for the foreseeable futher.

TSA moves out, and a private contractor comes in. That’s the only difference. The private contractor still has to use the same screening methods AND the same equipment. They are bound by the same guidelines as TSA. The only difference is that federal money is given to a contractor who profits and then pays his workers versus going directly to the workers.

Individual airports can decide, not the states if I remember correctly. I think Mica’s trying to change the rules again though. That dude has a hard on for trying to do away with TSA. It’s laughable to me though. Regardless to who does the searches, the same techniques, equipment, and rules apply. The same money is spent by the government. The only difference is that somebody gets to pocket a bit of government graft with the contract versus the government controlling the payroll with TSA. Changing the name and/or uniform in this particular instance does not change anything else.

Soon as I hit submit, I found the interview. After what happened in Miami, I would hope that you would stay far away from bath salts. Reading your article, I can’t say that it’s a politically motivated move. From what we’re doing, even though it’s not ICE, there has been a stronger focus on criminal records over the past few years. I’ve gotten pretty good at determinging which convictions put a person before an immigration judge nowadays, and that’s just legal residents. When we come across someone who’s been here illegally, we simply send them back home.
Even if you look at immigration law, the burden of proof for having a legit reason to enter the US is on the person wanting to come in. Legally, we could deny entry to most anybody who wants to come here if they can’t prove their intent.

“I tell you the best burgers in town: the ones you make on your back porch.
”–JM
If you use a big green egg
WOW! Both of you guys are right! I guess I need to qualify my broad statement a bit.
George’s is the best Darn burger with a pitcher of 420 on Monday night after a long day of working multiple Real estate deals, while watching the Braves unfortunately lose to the Carpet baggers, I mean Yankees.

I don’t touch drugs. Unless you count alcohol.
Not even coffee, tea, Coca-cola, Pepsi, Mountain Dew?
Caffeine, the original gateway drug.
They BOTH suck

Not kidding. Buy the hamburger that is 10% or less fat and add about a 1/4 lb of pork sausage (Jimmy Dean HOT or the Sage if you don’t like spicy) to it and season as you would otherwise.
It is the juiciest damn burger you will eat………
Chk it out………

I don’t count alcohol as a drug. Caffeine, yes… alcohol, no.
When I was talking about the political slant, I was referring to the comment towards the bottom of the link you gave. Some guy who’s a union rep made the comment that the agents were hearing that the plan was politically motivated from their higher ups. The criminal part is my favorite part of the job. That, and interviewing people one-on-one and catching them trying to hide their true intent.

If you try it, don’t get the cheap hamburger and add sausage. It will be too much fat and you will get flare up all over the grill from the drippings.

“Yeah, who cares if Rick Scott was CEO of the company charged with the largest medicare fraud in history.”–Forgets everything
-not intended to be factual information…
Hey clueless, Rick Scott’s company BOUGHT many healthcare companies that HAD been deemed guilty of MISMANAGEMENT. He CLEANED them up. But don’t let facts get in your way.
Honesty is the best policy!
