Until today, I really thought Jeb was an exception to the rule that all politicians are lying scum. My bad.
I like Jeb. Great two-term govenor. I'd vote for him as President in a heart beat. He should probably take sabatical before running...2012 if we lose in 08, or 2016 if we win.
So he can sleep at night??? The time will come....
Since when does telling uncomfortable truths instead of pandering make one a RINO?
Perhaps you would care to explain why you say that, so that us goobers can understand it.
I thought so too until yesterday. I think the sabbatical should last til 2099 or so.
Amazing - you really thought that until today?
You were posting the same basic stuff yesterday.
Mr. Terry is not what me makes himself out to be. Might I suggest you do a bit of research about Mr. Terry, his actions, and his associations before attaching your credibility to such a man.
Does this represent a distancing from a conservative segment of voters? "There is no distancing from my perspective. People know where I stand on these issues. On end-of-life issues, life issues in general, issues surrounding people of faith - nothing changes in that regard. The notion somehow, though, that Jim's opponent is representative of some group of people, I reject. I reject that. In fact, having gone through the [Terri] Schiavo matter, having stood on principles, having worked within the law as best I could under enormous pressure, I can tell you that the president of the Senate [King] saved Terri Schiavo's life for more than a year. Randall Terry, during that period of time and afterward, made no positive contribution. In fact, he was a hindrance."

Lol...whatever...if you are going to vote against everyone who does not hold your view on every single issue, you're going to have a short list to choose from indeed...Jeb is very solid.
I was on Jeb!'s side during the Schiavo debacle. I don't think his analysis of the situation is out of line. Sometimes we have to analyze our tactics and see what works and what doesn't to achieve our goals.
You might consider doing the same re: King
If that's all you have, it's mighty thin soup.
Just say NO to dynasties! This country cannot survive 20 years of Bushes, 12 years is enough.
I SAY AMERICA, STAY OUT DA BUSHES!
To each his own...but if it's Jeb vs incumbant Democrat Hillary/Kerry/Edwards/Warner etc in 2012....I am voting Bush...
What if Bush endorsed Hillary, would that be sufficient. I'm just wondering what you think the threshold is. If you endorse a socialist/communist/rino whatever, that indicates agreement with at least a significant portion of their agenda.
Opposing Randall Terry makes one a RINO?
Then I guess I'm a RINO.
No indication that Jeb has done any such thing. Endorsing a grandstanding nutball like Randall Terry is a sign of irrationality. Opposing him is a sign of sanity.
I think earthtotheground is Randall Terry's mother or something.
No, but opposing offshore oil drilling in order to pander to the tree-hugger crowd does.
Tree huggers? Try multimillion dollar beach front property owners and hotels and other tourist industry types.
