In reply to the discussion: Jeb Bush amazes me (UPDATED WITH NEW INFO - CHECK IT OUT!) [View all]DonCoquixote
(13,977 posts)18. what is dangerous about Bush
is that the tea Party knows how to make him look like a "moderate". Do not forget, Rick Scott is in power because he ran on the idea that Bush's hand picked seat warmer, Bill McCullough, was not GOP enough, and he won. This enable Jeb to say "look centrists, my own party hates me." There is nothing as dangerous as a fact that, although it MAY be true, is not placed in a proper context. No, he is not the craziest of the GOP, but that is like saying someone is the nicest inmates of the asylum for the criminally insane. Yeah, you might be able to have a conversation with him, but that does not mean he will not kill you the minute your back is turned.

This is a new one, and way too many times it would be appropriate to use it.
