But also stresses that the reasoning isn't malicious. He didn't advocate amnesty or any other specific position in that statement. It will appeal to Latinos while placating (or being overlooked entirely) by the hardcore immigration people.There should be a price paid
No he didn't. He straddled the line well. He says

he has Joe Sixpack on speed dial and Joe don't want no immgrents taking his jawb. LG is clearly tapped in to the workings of the GOP
Ummm, I really don't think I'm going out on a limb here to say that Jeb's position on immigration is a non-starter for a substantial part of the GOP, particularly the base. The only question is whether he would be able to survive the sniping from the far right over this in the early primaries.
Romney and McCain managed to nail down the moderate center during the first primaries for '08 and '12, and to emerge with the nomination by the time the dust had settled.
Admit it LG, you want another Bush to run on the ticket because it gives the liberal networks something else to attack. Ignore the policies and ideas and focus on the name instead.
You want this more than anything I'd suspect.

Actually, I think that of the Bushes Jeb has the most respect from the "liberal networks" as the smartest of the bunch. And on many issues he is pretty moderate, if not liberal.
Heck, just look at the reactions to him in this thread. Seems like its the right that doesn't care for him.
Oh, you're a funny guy! You completely miss the point I was making. The "liberal networks" as you say don't and won't care about his policies. They will see the (R) behind his name and attack him no matter what he stands on. And far be it from MSNBC to NOT start including stats from GWB's Administration and making the comparison. Don't say they "like" him at all if he was to go up against their chosen candidate.
Please refrain from making such silly comments again. Coffee coming out my nose is not a pleasant feeling.

Do we want another Bush vs Clinton ticket?
I say no. These two families have "helped" America all they should, imo.
