Jeb Bush is purposely poking the Republican base in the eye. Why?

“Attack the moderator and you lose more votes than you win. “

How about attacking the opposing candidate?

“As opposed to all the other token candidates who put themselves forward to lose to Obama?”

I suspect Gingrich would have been a better opponent for Obama that Romney.

He’s pinging the waters.

Jeff Bush loves undocumented immigrants, but, where is his love for the millions of Americans unemployed? There are 91 million Americans out of the work force.

Thanks to Obama we have the lowest participation in the work force since the 1970’s and some demagogues want to open wide our borders to hundreds of millions around the world who would love to enjoy the American dream... but that dream is becoming in an American nightmare for those born here and those who came legally to enjoy our way of life loving the U.S. as much as their country of birth.

What is even more aggravating is that people who entered the country illegally are demanding rights and privileges that American citizens do not enjoy and they did not dare to demand from the government of their own country.

California used to be the richest state of America. Now it is almost bankrupt. Anybody can see the result of uncontrolled illegal immigration, and companies are leaving to Texas, Florida and other red states with less taxes and better incentives to invest and prosper.

In fact, unemployment is now lower in Mexico than in U.S.; perhaps Americans will start moving south.

Certainly Romney could have been more aggressive overall and in the last debate. But that Candy Crowley situation wasn't the best example. Even a more experienced debater might have been thrown for a loop by the moderator taking sides with one of the candidates.

I suspect Gingrich would have been a better opponent for Obama that Romney.

Newt apparently thinks so himself and hasn't ruled out another run. I guess it's possible. Most likely he would have had more fight in him than Romney did. My experience, though, is that he talks and talks and after a while voters just turn him off.

There is absolutely nothing in this for the communists. They'd be fools.

The Communists have already proven they can steal elections boldly and unobstructed. The RINOs have proven they'd rather allow the communists to steal elections than allow the opposition (us, we, the Tea Party, conservatives, etc) to win.

Each side is vehemently hated by the people who have the very votes they would need, if the elections really mattered. The only "winners" in this scenario would be the RINOs.

I could see the RINOs purposing such folly but then I'd see the left setting them up somehow like Lucy with the football. These quislings on the R side simply do not have what it takes to get in the ring with the left.

And that is why Limbaugh is no conservative.
