Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has some sage words of advice for the GOP -

Gov. Bush is correct.  As someone who stood on firm conservative principles and still won two terms as governor of a “purple” state, Jeb Bush (unlike his older brother) is living proof that a politician can hold to principle and still be successful.

For any Republican interested in winning elections, you should not only read the linked to article, but listen to him as well.  Bush is 100% correct that we need to push policy rather than partisanship; ideas rather than ideology.

For those of you who may believe that true conservatives like Jeb Bush or Mickey Edwards aren’t red enough meat for you – welcome to the wilderness.  It’s going to be a long, cold winter.
