Jeb's too moderate the latest far-right fringe's war against the GOP
Sun Sentinel ^ | December 8, 2014 | By Douglas C. Lyons

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.

But, as usual, you will open your sorry pie hole and say it anyway, won't you Douggie.

Amen. I would not bother to vote for prez in that case. And I voted for Jeb twice, his daddy twice and his brother twice. Absolutely no more bushes.

Jeb is moderate?

Hillary’s running to the right of him.

Could some phot savvy freeper post a montage of the beast in wild-eyed mode.

She beats out any tea partier for gory gazes, for sure.

Between talk of Jeb running for president and W's book, I am truly sick of the Bush family. It's time for a new era in the GOP, one that doesn't include the Bush family (or Romney, who may as well be a Bush).

To paraphrase the late John Newton Mitchell in 1969: Watch what Jebbie does, not what he says!

He will never be President, agreed, but he is likely to be the Republican nominee in 2016 because primary voters will say, “It’s Jebbie’s turn.”

George P. Bush in TX in 2014 won the nomination and the general election for land commissioner by a huge margin. TX has not yet had enough of Bushism.
