Jeb Bush Slams GOP Candidates’ Focus on “Fear and Emotion”

Even Jeb Bush is getting weary of the Four Horsemen of the Idiocalypse, as they play the politics of fear and division.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Thursday that he found it “troubling” that the 2012 presidential candidates are “appealing to people’s fears and emotion” on the campaign trail, according to reports.

Bush expressed concern about the type of rhetoric the candidates were using, but didn’t offer specifics or mention names.
“I used to be a conservative, and I watch these debates and I’m wondering, I don’t think I’ve changed, but it’s a little troubling sometimes when people are appealing to people’s fears and emotion rather than trying to get them to look over the horizon for a broader perspective, and that’s kind of where we are,” said Bush, according to Fox News.
