Is that it?
Only that?
Jeb's Bushian Speech
Anyone who expected more from perhaps the leading establishment contender for the Republican presidential nomination had to be disappointed.
Mother of God, Paul Wolfowitz is back?!
Bush I and Bush II were not at all the same.
Bush I ignored the neocon war lovers in his administration and refused to knock Saddam Hussein out of power.
Bush II lapped up their every damned fool notion and royally screwed up the whole region for more than a decade, at enormous cost in blood, treasure, and safety to the American people and greatly to the disadvantage of his beloved ally, Israel.
Bush III has nothing but praise for the policies and decisions of The Decider, Bush II.
But the base doesn't like him much, just as they didn't really like Bushes I and II, because while very, very conservative they aren't quite true-blue conservative enough.
If I were a fiscal conservative, I'd begin to suspect that Jeb Bush is as much of a big-government Republican as his big brother.
He wants to spend more on the Pentagon, invest in infrastructure and education, spur the economy to 4 percent annual growth -- if I didn't know better, I'd say it all sounds almost Keynesian.
Oh yes, he says he also wants to reform entitlement programs and balance the budget.
Just like his brother, the "compassionate conservative" who tried to partially defund Social Security and set it on a course of complete abolition in favor of tax-sheltered private saving and investing, hiding the reality of the thing behind the fraudulent description, "privatization."
