Jeb: 'We can't just be the Party of No'

Jeb Bush, adopting rhetoric more often heard from Democrats, told students at George Washington University last night that the GOP "can't be the party of no."

""We just can't be the party of no," the former Florida governor said, according to the student newspaper<http://media.www.gwhatchet.com/media/storage/paper332/news/2009/10/22/News/Former.Governor.Calls.For.Party.Reform-3809740.shtml>. "Republicans need to offer, based on their own principles, solutions to these problems."

Bush has long called on his party to modernize its image and broaden its appeal, and he said last night that the party must avoid being cast as the "old white guy party."

"Tone matters," Bush said, according to New Majority's Sam Theodosopoulos, "in twenty or so years our country will have a minority majority."

Bush pointed to Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels as a a model, Theodosopoulos writes.
