Cafferty: Should Republicans listen to Jeb Bush now? LOL

[Joanne98]

Oh God Jack sure knows how to start some shit! hahahaha

FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:

Jeb Bush says it’s time for Republicans to leave the Reagan era behind them and look forward. The former Florida Governor insists the party’s ideas need to be “forward-looking and relevant” instead of dwelling on the nostalgia of the good old days. He’s also acknowledging how well President Obama’s message of hope and change resonated with the voters during the election.

Cafferty: Jeb Bush could perhaps regroup the GOP… if only his brother weren’t considered by many to be responsible for the party’s downfall.

Jeb Bush — who’s part of the Republicans’ new effort to reconnect with voters — is right about all this stuff, but here’s the problem: He’s the brother of the man who could very well be more responsible than anyone else for the downfall of the Republican Party.

Jeb Bush’s name has been mentioned as a potential presidential candidate in 2012; but it seems hard to imagine that the American people would go for that… again.

Meanwhile Former Georgia Congressman — and former Republican turned Libertarian — Bob Barr says it’s hard to “overestimate the damage” that’s been inflicted on the GOP. He says the party lacks “any coherent philosophy, vision or leadership.”

And Meghan McCain, daughter of John McCain, continues to speak out about this stuff too; she says the party needs to become more inclusive if it wants to rebuild and attract younger voters. As things stand now, Meghan McCain says Republicans tend to look down on moderates such as her, saying: “Get rid of the dirty moderates.”

So, as the Republican Party continues to search for its voice and a leader…

Here’s my question to you: Is Jeb Bush the right person for Republicans to listen to at this time?

Tune in to the Situation Room at 5pm to see if Jack reads your answer on air.

And, we love to know where you’re writing from, so please include your city and state with your comment

2. Wanna mobilize DU like never before? Try to foist another Bush upon us.

Scumbag family isn't going away, but the term "Over my dead body" appears appropriate here.

3. Dear Mr. Cafferty,

You are right, the GOP is a mess and they have no one to thank but themselves. Listening to Jeb Bush is such a ridiculous idea that I would like to propose an equally ridiculous idea: The candidate to run against President Obama in 2012 should be whoever wins an arm wrestling contest between Washed-up Corrupt Governor Sarah Palin and Nebbish Chickenhawk Governor Bobby Jindal. The event should take place at the Reagan Library and should be officiated by someone honest, like Neil Bush. The GOP could sell tickets and tea- (get it?) shirts to the event. I think this would be a big Win-Win for the party of No-No!

Sincerely,
FSogol
