Marco Rubio: Jeb Bush a true conservative
Orlando Sentinel ^ | Hal Boedeker

Marco Rubio blasted Rand Paul but said Jeb Bush would be a credible candidate if the former Florida governor decides to run for president.

On ABC's "This Week," Florida's Republican senator said he had not decided whether to seek the White House in 2016.

"Jeb is going to be a very -- if he decides to run, he is going to be a very credible and a very significant candidate in this race," Rubio told George Stephanopoulos. "I have tremendous respect for him."

What happens when Republicans arrive in Washington is that they’re told that working together and finding common ground is what voters want and is the best way to move the country forward. In reality, the goal posts are moved to the left more and Republicans end up supporting the narratives of the Left.

He can’t be VP because the POTUS and the VPOTUS cannot be from the same state.

Can we now agree that Rubio isn’t a conservative and is giving aid to the enemy of the US Constitution?

Or those who preached “compassionate conservatism”
Nothing of the sort.

I noticed that Rick Perry was praising Jeb Bush.

Rick Perry, like Jeb Bush, is also a liberal.

The truth is “we the people” don’t decide who is president. We haven’t since Reagan.

They cannot run on same ticket! US law.

They can both run. The Constitution prohibits the electors from their home state from voting for both of them, so Rubio would lose the Florida electoral votes and possibly push the VP vote to the Senate if it had been close. Or Rubio could decide that he wants to live in Wyoming like Cheney did before he ran for VP.

“Nonsense. Something happens when people get inside the “beltway” as Rush calls it, they change, and here Rubio has too.”

It’s called MONEY. Boatloads of it.

Sounds like it. Jeb Bush may be many things but conservative is not one of them. No conservtive would chose Mexico over the U.S. and promote the illegal aliens’ agenda. One needs to only look at his horrific handling of Terri Schiavo to see he is unfit to be POTUS

“I noticed that Rick Perry was praising Jeb Bush.”

Perry also has Mississippi’s henry barbour on his payroll, henry uses democrat tactics to attack Conservatives and refers to them as bigots, racist and klansmen. henry says that’s just reaching out as a republican to democrats as does our “conservative” senator, roger wicker.

A “true conservative” just like you, Marco.

Why don’t these people understand that when you lie to us, you lose all credibility. That may sound “heartless” and not what the “Gang of Eight” wants to hear, but I’ll consider it an “act of love” to deny you my vote. :)

No Jeb. No Marco. No Perry.

If you are contemplating a run for president, it’s not very smart to let people know how stupid you really are. Jeb is about as “conservative” as Elizabeth Warren.

Jeb has endorsements from Rubio and Romney identifying him as a “true conservative”. All he needs is Christie to complete his endorsements from the top tier of RINOs.
