I shouldn’t be saying this since I’m obviously not a card-carrying conservative, much less a wild-eyed tea-party type. But, I’m confounded, if not amused, by this latest line of bull about Jeb Bush from the far-right fringe. How could the Jebster ever be dubbed a “moderate?”
Isn’t this the same John Ellis Bush who as Florida’s governor often treated teachers’ unions, trial lawyers, statehouse reporters, civil servants and, at times, the courts, as pariahs?
Heck, during his second inauguration speech, he looked up at the state government buildings and said he wished he could cut more staff and programs to make them half empty. This is the guy the fringe believes is too moderate to run for president as a Republican.
Oh well. If the fringe won’t give Bush a chance, their best shot at winning the White House in 2016, then they’d better get used to singing Hail to the Chief to Madame President Clinton.

Maybe some Americans are against a monarchy. No more Clintons or Bushes.
South Florida sucks. Glad I left.
Yep. Soon the media will be all into it, telling us how he’s winning all the GOP polls, creating the meme by which he’ll get the nomination and then lose to Hillary. Seemingly we have no control over so much of this.
Stay out da Bushes!
Lyons is a fool for many reasons.
Least of which is he fails to realized there is bacially NO DIFFERENCE between Jeb and Hillary.
I bet he’s itching to call conservatives Nazis or Klan members. I just know it.
Moderates lost in 92, 96, 08 and 12. But, hey, let’s try one more time.
No sale.

I dunno. I'm pretty sleepy and my eyes are droopy.
They sure do.
He won’t be getting a vote from me.
The GOPe has finally done it. I will not vote for another presidential candidate until they put up one that grasps and adheres to conservatism.
The party is basically over as far as the White House goes.
They don’t seem to want it. They’d rather have Obama than a Cruz type.
Media’s definition of “far-right” - middle of the road Americans who support the concept that the United States is a Constitutional Republic.
This digital drivel from a black editorial writer and no doubt “wild eyed” and die hard (to coin his use of the word re “tea partiers”) Obamanist!
Already these bastard main stream liberal Marxist’s writers and editorialists are working overtime trying to set the narrative early and in concrete that “nobody” but Jeb and Mitt can win if the RINO’s in the GOPe let the Tea Party have their way!
And, he thinks he’s scaring us that we will all be in the Hildebeast’s re-education camp if Cruz is the nominee notwithstanding that even Obama beat Hillary! This assumes the skank is even going to run.
They have decided to start early out of the gate with that shaming technique.
The next two years are going to be a miasma of the same crap as the Ruling Class operatives and stooges begin to flood Conservative sites like this one and begin to threaten us with exactly what you suggested.
I say we call them out for being the liberal/Left operatives for the Ruling a class that they are.
They say we are at war with the GOP? McConnell already declared that to be the policy, so I say, Let’s give them one.
Nice try to put lipstick on this pig. Jeb, the Father of Common Core and an illegal alien amnesty supporter, will never be a conservative or President.
Jeb a conservative..HO HO HO HO HO, that’s a good one.
“Far-right” refers to anyone who is more conservative than a RINO.
Me too.
“Maybe some Americans are against a monarchy. No more Clintons or Bushes.”
Actually, if he were a good candidate, that wouldn’t matter.
Problem is he is not a good candidate because he is moderate conservative with patches of strong liberalism.
Just repeat at frequent intervals: “Jeb Bush is a Republican liberal.”
