Conservatives Are Already Freaking Out About Jeb Bush's Possible Run For President
Yahoo Finance ^ | November 1, 2014 | Brett LoGiurato

During a prominent gathering of conservatives in the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire, the largest spattering of boos among the crowd didn't come at speakers' frequent mentions of President Barack Obama.

The loudest jeers came when a speaker would mention former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

"You know, I heard Jeb Bush the other day," mogul Donald Trump said during his speech at the Freedom Summit, hosted by the conservative groups Citizens United and the Americans for Prosperity Foundation. He paused in his speech as the boos started.

As chatter heats up about a Bush possibly running for president in 2016, he faces a potentially significant obstacle — convincing the conservative base to rally around him as a Republican nominee.

Yup Conservatives are, and right away the liberal media starts putting up a flak barrage to cover the act of love RINO ! Why shouldn't Conservatives want a Conservative presidential candidate, if we wanted a weak kneed, open borders, big government, socialist, anti Constitutionalist all we would have to do is become democrats.

He’s a Mideast Oil loyalist from a long line since at least Carter.

He looks and act like his mother, and not that there’s anything wrong with that, but he IS a guy...of sorts

He wants to push amnesty as only a republican with the gears in fifth. Not like the wimpy Dems.

He’ll never mention the Constitution. Not in Eight years. The oath doesn’t count for them (though these guys better watch it on Judgment day - it might not go so well)

What’s not for a conservative to like?

Convincing the conservative base to rally around him?

How does that blurb go about unicorns farting Skittles?

Jeb Bush Versus 2 or more conservatives in the primary?

Jeb wins going away.

By the way news from Texas early voting is very good:

in Dallas County
Down -1.3%.

Up 10 to 14 % in Denton, Collin, Tarrant.

Freaking out? I’m not freaking out. I’m quite calm about my NO statement. No Jeb Bush. Period.

Lol! Everyone knows that the east coast elite get what they want by birth! I wod like to see a movement where nobody, I mean NOBODY, with and Ivy League education can get elected to public office. At one time these schools put out highly educated Americans but now they only crank out trust fund Marxists with dubious incestuous lineages.

Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee vs. Ted Cruz in the primary?

Ted Cruz wins going away.

At which point we fund him and carry the whole load of a traditional campaign because the RNC will be a bigger opponent to him than the DNC. And I’m good with that.

Jeb Bush murdered Terri Schiavo.

He asked others not to kill her. They refused.

He cowered under his desk while a CITIZEN OF FLORIDA was murdered in slow motion, in broad daylight.

He proved that, to him, a human life was expendable, if saving it might provoke political opposition.

We do not need a President who views human life as a disposable, expendable item.
