Jeb Bush, quoted here in February 2012:
"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 the former Florida Governor. "I think it changes when we get to the general election. I hope."

How can you "used to be" something but say you haven't changed?
Easy: the same way you can be for a pathway to citizenship and then be against it and claim you haven't flip-flopped:
"Where the hell was this Jeb Bush during the campaign?" the [Romney] advisor said. "He spent all this time criticizing Romney and it turns out he has basically the same position. So he wants people to go back to their country and apply for citizenship? Well, that's self deportation. We got creamed for talking about that. And now Jeb is saying the same thing."
Liberal Republicans: making suckers of conservatives since . . . well, forever!
