BEFORE THE ELECTION, I want to prove the Tea Party CANNOT be recognized as being a legitimate part of the Republican Party! They do NOT recognize the legitimacy of mainstream Republicans, they are trying to take over the GOP, and they are trying to purge the GOP of ALL Republicans who they do not like (including Bush 41 & 1990s Republicans who they call RINOs). Rush said The objective here is to make them an extinct species, and we are on the way & Jeb Bush article: rushlimbaugh/daily/2011/04/27/barack_h_w_obama Barack H.W. Obama? April 27, 2011 RUSH: And they point out that Obama, Joe Klein says Obamas really a moderate Republican from the 1990s. If you look at Obamas policies hes exactly like George W. Bush in the early 1990s... Obama favored a cap-and-trade plan to limit carbon emissions; the first Bush Administration passed a (very successful) cap-and-trade plan for acid rain emissions. So theyre going on and on, theres no difference, those old Republicans in the nineties were good old moderate Republicans. What they were were RINOs. And of course Klein and his buddies would like to revisit those days. But then you get to the meat and potatoes of the piece. How did the Republicans go so far astray? Why did it work, from time to time, electorally? Why werent the Democrats more effective in stopping them? Why didnt the societys major conservative economic stakeholders (outside the uber-reactionary Oil Patch) renounce the sideshow and demand a more reasonable brand of conservatism? like we had from Bush 41 in the early nineties Republicans. Two words immediately come to mind: Fox News. And two more words: Rush Limbaugh. So the piece here at TIME Magazine by Joe Klein is all about how basically Roger Ailes and I have destroyed the Republican Party, the grand old days of moderate Republicans like Bush 41, the RINOs. And, gee, why cant we revisit, why cant we go back to those good old days? What happened to all the moderate Republicans? Joe, let me tell you something. The objective here is to make them an extinct species, and we are on the way...

Jeb Bush took to Twitter today to try and clarify some of the remarks he made Monday that were critical of the Republican Party. “The point I was making yesterday is this: The political system today is hyperpartisan. Both sides are at fault,” Jeb Bush tweeted Tuesday. On Monday, Bush said that both Ronald Reagan and his father, George H.W. Bush, would have a hard time getting nominated by the more conservative voters in today’s Republican Party. “Ronald Reagan would have, based on his record of finding accommodation, finding some degree of common ground, as would my dad, they would have a hard time if you define the Republican party, and I don’t, as having an orthodoxy that doesn’t allow for disagreement, doesn’t allow for finding some common ground,” Bush said, according to Buzzfeed, which reported Bush’s giving the comments at the headquarters of Bloomberg LP in New York City...
