Bush Calls on Republican Party to Be Inclusive

In clear reference to the bruising fight he had with members of his own party when he was trying to push a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws two years ago, Mr. Bush went on, “We should be open-minded about big issues like immigration reform, because if we’re viewed as anti-somebody — in other words, if the party is viewed as anti-immigrant — then another fellow may say, well, if they’re against the immigrant, they may be against me.”http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/12/washington/12bush.html?_r=1&ref=usBy Jim Rutenberg, New York Times
