Shock: Jeb Bush Says Two Things Which Are Vaguely Conservative
Maybe his plan to run against conservatives in a Republican primary isn't working amazeballs like he expected.
Jeb: The climate is changing, but those who claim that the debate is over are "intellectually arrogant."Earlier Wednesday, Obama warned in a commencement speech to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy that climate change "constitutes a serious threat to global security (and) an immediate risk to our national security." Shaking his head as the host of the house party, Richard Ashooh, quoted Obama's remarks, Bush chided the President for taking what he argued was the wrong path in addressing the problem. [article's paragraphs re-arranged into actual chronological order -- ace] "For the people to say the science is decided on this is really arrogant, to be honest with you," he continued. "It's this intellectual arrogance that now you can't have a conversation about it, even. The climate is changing. We need to adapt to that reality." "The President's approach is, effectively, reduce economic activity to lower our carbon footprint," he said. "That's not what he says, of course, but that's the result of his policies." Rather than focusing on carbon emissions, Bush said, the federal government should provide more incentives for lower carbon-producing forms of energy, like hydraulic fracking and horizontal drilling. "I don't think it's the highest priority. I don't think we should ignore it, either," Bush said of climate change. "Just generally I think as conservatives we should embrace innovation, embrace technology, embrace science. ... Sometimes I sense that we pull back from the embrace of these things. We shouldn't."Then he said Republicans had spent too much when his brother was president. Jeb Bush kind of bores me so I've modified this article to make it more "street."
Jeb Bush Faults Brother for Lack of Budget Discipline 'N Shit CONCORD, N.H. -- As Jeb Bush has faced questions over Iraq and the policies of his brother throughout recent days, he got all TURNT!, son!, on one difference between them: curtailing spending. "I think that, in Washington during my brother's time, you know, he served his nickel there, plus three more, Republicans spent too many Benjamins," Mr. Bush said Thursday when asked to describe where there was a "big space" between himself and his brotherman. "I think he could have used the veto powizzo, put a jimmie on that shit. He didn’t have line-item veto power, but he could have brought budget discipline to Washington, D.C. Instead, he got all krunk.” ... He did qualify that his criticism of the government spending during his brother's tenure as president “seems kind of quizzaint right now given the fazzact that after he left, the budget and deficits and spending went up astronomizzically, knahmean?”In the second link, there's a video of Joe Scarborough, the sad establishment clown, confessing that not a single Republican is passionate about Jeb Bush, and David Frum says Jeb just can't win.

Jeb has been a good boy, and after serving as the Governor of Florida, he's done his best to turn his life around.
He loyal to Candida, or whatever he calls his wife, and has never had a speeding ticket. He's our best boy, and deserves to be considered, but I have never believed in that BS about it's his turn. But, it's his turn.

Well, if you don't like Jeb on Global Warming, these always this:
Mr. Bush also remarked on another aspect of his brothers tenure, the Patriot Act. "There is not a shred of evidence that anybodys civil liberties have been violated by it," Mr. Bush said. "Its already been proven constitutional, and there is ample evidence that it has protected us."
"What evidence?"
"Shh - it's only a model."

So I don't care what Jeb says if it sounds conservative.
I have been lied to too many times. I know what Jeb will do if he is President. He will try to get along with the democrats. Try to make deals, try to find a compromise between Marx and Adam Smith. Try to find common ground, try to find bipartisan compromise, and what we need is a Gandalf the Grey who will face the Balrog and say, "You shall not pass."
Of course, Gandalf was a fictional character.

I don't think we pull back from science (and certainly not from technology or innovation), but I would love to see someone articulate the science behind the conservative point of view.
Technology and innovation are stifled in a regulatory environment that the democrats would embrace. What we don't need to do is throw a bunch of government money at tech that hasn't proven itself. THAT is a conservative position. But creating an environment in which people can innovate, create and make a better world for all of is a very libertarian/conservative point of view.
Now if we can just get the right person to articulate all of this and somehow get it to the people, and bypass the media, than we will be cooking.

That's a good point though too.
No Republican has won running as anything other then an actual conservative since Nixon in 68.
Reagan, Bush 41 in 88, Bush 43 both times *ran* as conservatives. In fact, no one has lost running as a conservative since Goldwater in 64.

I think its a slightly different problem then that.
The media will make the Dem candidate seem like the better person. So if you have a Dem and a Rep running on basically the same platform of ideas - like in '08 or '12 the LIVs have *no* reason to vote for the Rep.
However if you go out there an campaign on the ideological differences you have with the left then the LIVs have to consider, to the extent they think about it, whose policies they like better. This is hard, but almost invariably they prefer conservative ideas if someone bothers to make the case for them.

So, yeah, I'd abstain from voting in 2016 if the R's don't nominate someone I can get on board with. If it's Jeb, I may even be tempted to pull the lever for Hillary.

I think W's opinions and choices were so affected by 9/11 that it is hard to say 'talk is cheap' because I don't think that's what was going on. I think he did actually change his mind on some things. At least as far as national security is concerned. And some of the bad choices were made during attempts to compromise, which is sometimes necessary but usually sucks anyway.

I say we ignore them. They follow the trends and are highly unreliable voters anyways.
Go after conservatives / libertarians (small l) / small government types. They make up a large number of Republican primary voters, as well as a large number of reliable Independent voters.
The LIVs will hop on the bandwagon. Or they won't. But we can't design campaigns around them. They're unreliable and by definition low information (thus, not informed. They end up voting based on stupid shit, like who sounds presidential.)

I ignored everything that Obama said that sounded conservative because everything else he said sounded like Karl Marx.
Posted by: Nathen Goespoorly at May 21, 2015 03:35 PM (zisR4)
Yeah, but Obama '08 was really a ... bizarre out of body experience.
The left heard him and said "wow man, he's one of us."
The squishy stupid moderates heard him and said, "This chap gets it. He's not ideological, he just follows common sense."
And they few conservativish democrats left in the country heard him and said, "Wow! Finally a conservative Democrat we can embrace!"
I don't know how he pulled it off. Obviously the media played a big role, but... It really was something to behold.
I do not expect Warren or Clinton or anyone on the R side to be able to replicate that.
But who knows...

1. Pushed and signed the stand-your-ground law
2. banned partial-birth abortion
3. imposed parental notification requirements on minors seeking abortions
4. reduced the state government's workforce by 13,000--even though Florida's population increased.
5. eliminated civil service protection for many of the state employees who remained,
5. and reduced taxes.
Now, I really don't want him as the candidate; he seems to have grown out of office, as the cliche goes, and in any case the Bush name is toxic. But he does seem to have been a truly conservative governor.

Both times, they left office with cratered personal approval ratings.
Both times, the percentage of voters self-identifying as Republican fell sharply from the start to the finish of those presidencies.
Both times, the successor President to the Bush in question was a liberal Democrat who served two full terms.

You're right - definitely those who are cynical and are disgusted w/both sides who would be open to core conservative values (pro- freedom, minimal government, etc.).
It's just that the GOPe strategy wants to appeal to the Left-by-default LIVs, the ones who don't really follow the news, but have picked up the definite Lefty culture via entertainment, reading headlines, or the funny thing that fake news guy on Comedy Central/SNL/HBO said last month about stupid, religion-obsessed, anti-science tea-baggers.

"Just generally I think as conservatives we should embrace
innovation, embrace technology, embrace science. ... Sometimes I sense
that we pull back from the embrace of these things. We shouldn't."
I don't think we pull back from science (and certainly not from
technology or innovation), but I would love to see someone articulate
the science behind the conservative point of view.
Technology and innovation are stifled in a regulatory environment
that the democrats would embrace. What we don't need to do is throw a
bunch of government money at tech that hasn't proven itself. THAT is a
conservative position. But creating an environment in which people can
innovate, create and make a better world for all of is a very
libertarian/conservative point of view.
Now if we can just get the right person to articulate all of this
and somehow get it to the people, and bypass the media, than we will be
cooking.

Here is my modest proposal for Republicans to support science and technology. In states with Republican Governors and Legislatures, take control of the state universities. Close down all the "studies" programs and cut back seriously on the liberal arts programs that have been taken over by communists, radical lesbians and social justice warriors. Transfer the funds from those programs into STEM departments.

Or do the equivalent, without the overt cruelty: require colleges to
take on part of the risk of student loans so that they can't afford to
push students into marginal careers.
Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at May 21, 2015 03:45 PM (J0IP0)"
Well, I feel that the overt cruelty is a feature, not a bug but the purpose is not specifically to be cruel but to change the culture of state universities from one that is dominated by extreme, insane, otherworldly leftism by getting rid of the departments where that is a requirement. Without so many of them on campus pushing to the left, university campuses might be more like the rest of America.
Of course, that raises the problem of where engineers and scientists in training are going to find women. My solution would be, in addition to opening and expanding nursing schools on campus to either offer a four year program in hairdressing and cosmetology or just open separate beauty schools in the now empty "studies" buildings.

And up through the crowd came a-rumblin' mood.
Boos that is, fuck off, Texas farts.

Rush called AoS a well-known blog and said Ace's post on Letterman was very insightful.

This was part of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act, which appears to have been an overall improvement to how Medicaid works. Even part D itself is a privatization--it can only be used through private insurers and HMOs.
no child left behind?
I would certainly prefer a voucher system--but not a national one--and an end to federal funding of local schools. However, the federal government was already funding, and NCLB required that schools prove they were teaching real subjects or not receive the federal funding they would otherwise receive.
Assuming for the moment that the votes were not there to cut off federal funding to local schools, NCLB was not necessarily a bad law.
exploding national debt?
He didn't do much to change debt increases, but looking at the numbers I don't see much change in the rate. So certainly it was a mistake not to reverse the rate of growth, but I don't think "exploding" is the right adjective. From 2004 to 2007 the rate of increase seems to have been drastically curtailed.
The biggest jump came with TARP, which I've already agreed was his biggest mistake.

He won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say, 'Do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you'... I mean I'm... no, I can't... I'm a little man, I'm a little man, he's... he's a great man! I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas..."

I saw him as Buster Poindexter around Valentine's Day at Cafe Carlysle in New York. Love the Hot Hot Hot video with a cameo from Bill Murray.

Joe Scarborough, the sad establishment clown, confessing that not a single Republican is passionate about Jeb Bush, and David Frum says Jeb just can't win.

They were both going to vote for Hillary anyway.

Surprised since it's their mission to help talk up the candidate that most likely to lose to the Democrats.

I would think that's correct. Similar, the "crowd" was in an uproar.

I can't find fault in what you say, but if that's true, why don't they routinely pimp for the most right-wing candidate during the primaries?
All I seem to hear from the MFM is that conservatives can't win a general election.

But who does that leave? I like Walker, but don't love him or see many outside the usual coalition with which the GOP lost the last two elections. Perry will have to over-deliver to overcome the impression from the last run. Kasich and Christie idiot RINOs, and Cruz is this year's Palin.

That's why they pimp the RINO's. What they say about conservatives is a lie because anyone even a fraction as conservative as Reagan will win handily. I do not expect a landslide like '80 and '84 because of the indoctrination over the past 30 years. The D's will win their 200 odd electoral votes no matter what. But it will be enough of a margin to declare a mandate if a conservative is the nominee.

More properly, an interceptor with an F designation.
He took a mans' role when it was required, made some very difficult decisions with lying advisers, who should really be (D)emocrats and were laying for him.
You're simply the younger brother who thinks he can have it both ways.
No. Fucking. Way.

I'll consider Jeb if he beheads McConnell and McCain on the Capitol steps, and gives Graham a good caning.

How did he win in Wisconsin, though? It seems if he can overcome the other coalition there, he ought to be able to do it in the nation as a whole. (It's a real question: I don't know.)

Palin handled the media fine. The McCain campaign badly botched her rollout, and those backstabbers were rewarded with choice media gigs like "campaign expert" Nicole Wallace, the latest cast member of The View.

That's a question for CAC aka Brandon Finnegan (?) or any of Walker's many fans. I don't think he's carry WI in a presidential election, just like Christie would not carry NJ, and Kasich would probably lose OH, which is at least a swing state. Martinez could probably flip NM, because she has amazingly high approval ratings, but I doubt she'll even run.

Buy a clue: there have never been more conservative Republican leaders in the House and Senate than Boehner and McConnell. And there is no Republican Governor with an eight-year record of conservative accomplishment and success that compares to Jeb Bush, not even close.
It's not these lifelong conservative leaders who are out of step with the party and the country. It's you nutbars. Face it: if you were half as many as you think you are, half as influential, you would be winning all the primaries instead of always whining about the winner.
Why do you think the Tea Party had 60% favorability in 2009 and only 25% now? Because you nuts took it over, hijacked it into your jihad against "RINOs" who are all much better Republicans than you ever were.
GHWB said it best when asked about something Richard Viguerie was pushing: "Look, I'm a conservative - but I'm not a nut about it."
You can wake up and smell the coffee, or stay in your cozy little lunatic fringe circle-jerk and complain that the world just doesn't understand your brilliance. You are the right wing equivalent of carrying a mattress around.
