Jeb 'RINO' Bush Shows us why he Ain't the Guy

RINOism appears to run in the Bush family. George H.W. liked that 'New World Order' rhetoric, George W. refused to stop spending, ingratiated himself with Muslim Brotherhood groups, and refused to deal with our illegal immigration problem, and Jeb is now telling Republican nominees not to go after Obama too hard. Obviously, oblivious to the sentiment in America, Jeb must have absolutely NO interest in getting into the race. Typical establishment guy who doesn't understand that the ground has shifted (literally and figuratively) in DC.

Via POLITICO:

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.

“It’s fine to criticize him, that’s politics,” said Bush, the younger brother of former President George W. Bush, who again reiterated that he won’t run for president himself. “But just to stop there isn’t enough. You have to win with ideas, you have to win with policies. … He’s made a situation that was bad worse. He’s deserving of criticism for that. He’s not deserving of criticism for the common cold on up.”

“If you’re a conservative, you have to persuade. You can’t just be against the president,” he added.

Breaking with the GOP field, Bush said he’d be willing to accept new revenues as part of a deficit-reduction package.

“I think the problems are so severe in this country that leadership is required to find common ground and solutions,” he said.

I'm just flat out tired of RINOs who lecture the Tea Party on ideological intransigence. Jeb, are you truly that blind to what Obama is doing to the country?

Uh, as for Jeb's take that we should raise taxes, would it be intransigent of me to tell Jeb to go pound sand?

VIDEO: BUSH 41 CONFUSED BY TEA PARTY

While talking with Larry King, George H.W. Bush seems to be a bit put-off by the Tea Party movement, saying some of their ideas seem to be ok but that he doesn't understand it. If you had any doubt that George Bush Sr. is part of the political establishment, his take on the Tea Party should persuade you. While I'm a bit troubled by what appears to be thinly veiled condescension, I can't say that I'm all that surprised.

VIDEO: CNN Anchor Given a Cold Shower

If you look far enough into CNN Anchor Don Lemon's eyes as he's getting his question answered, you can almost see the part of his brain that's responsible for suppressing a scream. And it's throbbing.

While Lemon seemed to be doing his best to get the correspondent in Ghana, Nkepile Mabuse, to give him an answer that would provide him with a "Chris Matthews Thrill", she instead turned on the cold shower and actually spoke of the warm greeting George W. Bush received in Ghana when he made the trip.

Lemon appeared to have a sour taste in his mouth at the sheer audacity of Mabuse to equate the reception Obama received in Ghana with the one his predecessor got.
