The GOP is desperately looking for someone who will unite their party. Unfortunately it's not happening anytime soon, judging from the choices they have.
You cannot unite when the ideological gap between RINOs (Progressive big governement GOP including Evangelicals) and Constitutional/Fiscal Conservatives is so great. The RINOs' policies largely align themselves with the statist Progressives in the DNC with the exception of social issues.
Bush, the son and brother of former presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush respectively, said he found the GOP debates "a little troubling" because the candidates are appealing to voters' emotions rather than more overarching political concerns.

Thus confirming:
Among the GOP base, there is constant harping about somebody else, some "other," who is deliberately, assiduously and with malice aforethought subverting the Good, the True and the Beautiful: Subversives. Commies. Socialists. *******s. Secular humanists. Blacks. ****. Feminazis. The list may change with the political needs of the moment, but they always seem to need a scapegoat to hate and fear.
Surely the Dem's do this as well. I haven't found an example yet.
Let's see, christians, uncle toms, right wingers, neo-cons, bigots, rednecks.....now we just search on your name and these phrases and apparantly somone isn't being truthfull.
Obama is busy putting Americans back to work and the GOP is debating birth control. I think I'll stick with the people who are actually grounded in reality, the DFL.
This the same Oboma that put 20,000+ jobs on hold till after the election on the Keystone pipeline.
IF we have a brokered convention, and IF it means the introduction of a new candidate at that brokered convention (lots of "ifs" and I'm doubtful that we're headed there), Jeb, out of anyone else in the country, would be the one who could unite the party. He wouldn't be afraid to stand up to the crazies either.

Earth to mathguy! Explain yourself i don't understand your attack.
Being a conservative the Bush family is the worst thing that the {R} party ever embraced. And Jeb has a lot nerve saying anything about spreading fear and emotion when is brother was the master. Right after the Reagan revolution it was killed by Bush Sr " no more new taxes" and his brother spent like a drunken sailor. The last thing this country or the {R} party needs is another Bush in the WH.

What a hoot. That statement is awfully similar to what the crazy conservatives were saying about former GOP candidates like Jon Huntsman who was more a fiscal conservative than the ones we have in the race.
According to the right wing extremists, Huntsman is a RINO because he crossed party lines to serve as ambassador to China for the Obama Administration.
Jeb Bush is right. And the GOP is screwed.
