Newt Gingrich another blow hard in the Rush Limbaugh mold has stated that Obama’s is practicing “Bush Economic Policies” . Personally I think that is quite ridiculous and patently a false statement as Republican pundit Mary Matilin also said. Are Republicans now suddenly anti-Bush? For a party that values loyalty is this sacrilege?
Atleast George W. Bush never went around publicly criticizing unwed mothers. Mike Huckabee’s mentality is still stuck in the 1950s.
Somebody with that mentality can’t get elected president in 2012.
McCain paraded his 90+ yr old mother to ‘prove’ to America that he wasn’t too old to be President.
Jeb Bush paraded his Hispanic in-laws during his Gubernatorial re-election campaign in Florida.
So, if Jeb Bush runs for President in 2012 will he again use his Hispanic in-laws as a campaign tool?
Thoughts?

ContributorNetwork – When Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour announced Monday that he would not be running for president, there were plenty of statements by friends and fellow Republicans as to what a great Republican and politician Barbour was (and is). But as Barbour formally set himself in a supporting role for the 2012 presidential campaign season, one statement made by a GOP consultant stood out, not because it described Gov. Barbour in glowing tones but because of who it did not.
Jeb Bush says today that if his children walked the streets of Phoenix they might look awfully suspicious to to police, what do you make his statement ?Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said today that if his children walked the streets of Phoenix they might look awfully suspicious to police. His wife Columba is from Mexico.
Harvard professor Robert D. Putnam told the same crowd of city officials from across the country at the Denver Convention Center that his grandchildren might likewise draw suspicion. His daughter married a Latino man, he said.
“I think it’s not right that they could be picked up just because of the way they look,” Putnam said.
Bush and Putnam spoke and then fielded questions at a National League of Cities convention about immigration issues including the controversial Arizona immigration law.
The law aims to detain, prosecute and deport illegal immigrants. The federal government has won an injunction blocking parts of the law, including a section requiring police to question the immigration status of those they suspect are in the country illegally. Arizona has appealed.
A group of conservative lawmakers in Colorado is considering introducing an Arizona-style immigration bill in the legislature in January.
Bush, the brother and son of former Republican presidents, quipped that it was obvious he was not running for office, noting that his views differed from most of his Republican colleagues.
While he is sympathetic to the plight of Arizona officials forced to deal with all the problems linked to a porous frontier, he believes there are solutions other than a law criminalizing illegals, he said.

Can’t people see that leaders on both side use the power of religion and its followers to motivate violence? Followers on both sides believe that they are doing Gods work. Why do people believe these people just because they preach?
By the way the 1st one is George Bush and the second Osama.
Would you be excited if John Ellis “Jeb” Bush decided to run for the Presidency of the United States of America in 2008 to continue his brother’s George Legacy of Hard Work, Success, and Properity for Four More Years? Why or why not?
If Jeb Bush decides to run for President in 2008, I will do everything I can to help him become the next President of the United States of America to continue George W. Bush legacy of Hard Work, Success, and Prosperity in America for Four More Years.
ConcernedCitizen,
I am for sure that Americans who vote for John Ellis Bush in the primaries would vote for him in the General Election to. After all, he is more successful than all the Democratic Candidates.
Obama says Americans eat too much, waste too much, and keep your houses too warm. Obama says you are bitter gun toting and his pastor of 20 years says Damn America. So, If Bush has done so much harm to your lifestyle why is Obama saying this?
Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) has issued a call for a criminal probe in the wake of a major New York Times story by James Risen with new evidence that the Bush Administration impeded at least three federal investigations into alleged war crimes in Afghanistan in 2002. (“US Inaction Seen After Taliban POWs Died” – NYTimes.com bit.ly PHR is calling for the Department of Justice to investigate why the Bush Administration impeded an FBI criminal probe of the alleged Dasht-e-Leili massacre. According to US government documents obtained by PHR, as many as 2000 surrendered Taliban fighters were reportedly suffocated in container trucks by Afghan forces operating jointly with the US in November 2001. The bodies were reportedly buried in mass graves in the Dasht-e-Leili desert near Sheberghan, Afghanistan. Notorious Afghan warlord General Abdul Rashid Dostum, who was reportedly on the CIA payroll, is allegedly responsible for the massacre. This video, detailing nearly eight years of advocacy and investigation by Physicians for Human Rights, explores the events surrounding the massacre and subsequent cover-up.
