I am a compassionate conservative.–GWB

A politician likes to leave blanks in a fundraising letter leaving the reader to fill in the missing details. Here are some examples from Jeb’s recent letter:

• Leadership. That is what is sorely missing in the White House.
• All we need is the right kind of conservative leadership …
• I offer a positive conservative vision …
• You and I must lead a thoughtful conservative reform movement …
• I will be a strong advocate of putting the needs of our kids first.
• As President, I will celebrate success and risk taking …
• There is an entire generation of conservatives in this nation just waiting for us to explain our beliefs …
• You and I must reverse the left-wing policies imposed on Americans by this President …

One thing is certain, Jeb’s explanation of his beliefs, plans, and goals isn’t revealed in his letter; an entire generation of conservatives and others are still waiting. Evidently Jeb thinks it best to keep his views vague, hoping his readers will imagine that their views coincide with his.
