There are no conservatives left, just different shades of left.

how he became a Catholic to keep his family whole as his wife was Catholic

Wait, he became a Catholic not because he believes in it, but because his wife was one?

That's not "noble", that's phony.

If the guy lost a power struggle with his own wife over what religion the family would observe, he is certainly too weak to be entrusted with political power in the USA.

Now The Hill is telling us Jeb is offering conservatives a way. Wrong source and wrong man for any message. He has had the last eight years to lead the fight against Obama and Hillary and over $100 million dollars to do so. Very few men have had the resources he has had and failed so miserably.

He should be doing something productive, like tutoring disadvantaged youngsters.

This is definitely my favorite picture of Jebra.

Oh he was just so cocksure that he was going to be the one to concede the 2016 election to Hillary.

Thank you, Mr. Trump.

the Democrats wanted Jeb! to be
the nominee of the Republicans,
because the Democrats thought Jeb
was easiest to defeat.

that is where Jeb’s money came from

Bush??? The Bushes are done...The old GOPe guard are trying to resurrect Bush from the ashes???

We’re going to get a new breed of up and coming politicians in the vein of Donald Trump...Bushes will be consigned to the history books...There’s no more place in American leadership for the Bushes...

Jeb cooking and becoming a catholic just show what a pussy-whipped clown he really is.

Boy there are a dozen things wrong with this article, at least, but let's just take on a few.

For instance, Republicans today need to do ....be for a few big ideas and show that we can put them into action.

We are tired of "big" ideas. D.C. has sunk into a swamp of despond with 25 year old snowflakes writing point papers arguing about "big ideas," while D.C. fritters away $ Trillions every year with nothing to show for it. How about instead of all that, you get some things done.

Like, D.C. could fix itself. Get a big construction firm like they use in NY or LA and fix the roads properly, a few city blocks a night. Open Pennsylvania Ave. past the WH. Traffic has never been the same since its 9/11 closure. Those aren't big ideas. They are just practical things that make a difference and show you can make a difference and that you even know what making a difference means.

Or this: Allow a two-thirds majority of the States to override a U.S. Supreme Court decision.". Instead how about appointing competent SC justices. It' a whole lot easier. We know what they look like - Scalia, Thomas, for instance. One can even find better among Federal Appellate court judges.

You’re right. I usually check it out before I post. I can find a site which has an email ID number, but when I look it up on wikileaks, it says no results. I checked under wording. No results.

People have researched it before. It’d be “fun” if true though.....

Not likely. It didn't hurt Abbott but before I have to cut my own fingers off for taking any stance remotely favorable to the Bush cartel -----

------ having this carpetbaggin' trash in Texas is like having a den of rattlesnakes in your backyard. Even if you think you've cleaned out the den you still turn over every rock with care.
George P is just the next generation.

See above. It was on several sites I’ve never heard of before, and though they provide an email ID number, when i looked it up, there is no such email. There’s a lot of crazy stuff out there. There’s plenty of REAL crud they pulled. Apparently, someone somewhere just makes stuff up. I got fooled this time. I cannot stand a liar.

“Not so much impressed by his accomplishments, although they were his own and they were formidable; I was impressed by his quiet manner and how he would do the evening cooking at his house and how he became a Catholic to keep his family whole as his wife was Catholic and he was raised otherwise. My Anglo-Irish grandmother had done the same thing.”

As an ordained minister, I denounce this sort of pseudo-spirituality categorically.
