Jeb Bush: Republican Party Needs 'To Reach Out To A Much Broader Audience'


Doh. Look at the demographics. The GOP is way on the wrong side of the future. History has a liberal bias.

I suspect that Jeb is also talking his own book. If Obama wins in '12, Jeb will definitely run in '16. He doesn't want to be on the losing side out of the gate due to demographics.

Translation: existing audiences must ignore political parties ... if the USA republic is going to survive.

Trying to stuff increasingly dynamic thoughts, options, theories and operations into stale party apparatus is maladaptive.

We started out George Washington's terms without political parties. Who says we need them now?

The DoD doesn't allow political parties ... for a good reason.

Dennis Jamison, George Washington's views on political parties in America

Also:
Much indeed to be regretted, party disputes are now carried to such a length, and truth is so enveloped in mist and false representation, that it is extremely difficult to know through what channel to seek it. This difficulty to one, who is of no party, and whose sole wish is to pursue with undeviating steps a path which would lead this country to respectability, wealth, and happiness, is exceedingly to be lamented. But such, for wise purposes, it is presumed, is the turbulence of human passions in party disputes, when victory more than truth is the palm contended for.
Letter to Timothy Pickering, July 27, 1795
