Time to Leave the Bushes Behind

The latest incarnation of attempted elitist eastern political establishment takeover of the GOP has formed as the National Council for a New America (NCNA). A group composed of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and House Republican Whip Eric Cantor and former Gov. Jeb Bush. Advisers include establishment guy former Gov. and former GOP chair Haley Barbour, RINO Sen. John McCain, and the Brown and Oxford educated Gov. Bobby Jindal.

While claiming they are not interested in “recasting” the GOP, former Gov. Bush labeled the GOP rank-and-file’s belief in the Conservative principles as enunciated by Ronald Reagan as “nostalgic” and “irrelevant.” He further said that Ronald Reagan’s message “will not draw people” to his cause. He presumes incorrectly that his cause and the Conservative cause is the same thing.

I would argue after two Bush presidents that spent like drunken sailors and could not grasp the meaning of a small federal government, the "Bush League" is irrelevant, and nobody is nostalgic for it at all.

I hope the NCNA manages to come to my town on their “listening” tour. I would like the opportunity to let them hear me. Ronald Reagan is the last wildly popular Republican President folks can remember watching on TV. Reagan is real to most voters. Last time he stood for election, he won a 49 state landslide.

Compare this to RINO John McCain (multiple presidential campaign loser), RINO Mitt Romney (couldn’t get past the primaries, but he’s changed, really!), Jeb Bush (bravely did not run for the open Fla. Senate seat) and this other bunch of neophytes. These guys are SMART and Reagan was dumb, remember?

B. Hussein Obama will be the easiest sitting President to run against since Jimmy Carter – who, by the way, was vanquished by Ronald Reagan – and any Republican who can form complete sentences and campaign on bedrock Conservative principles will win.

However, if a candidate can’t find the good in Ronald Reagan, why do they want to seek a GOP leadership role if not to purge the GOP of the Conservative rank-and-file?

At its root, I think for starters both liberals and Conservatives can agree on one thing -- no more Bushes in the White House.
