You Freepers need to give him credit ... for being a common core, crony capital, unlimited spending, amnesty kind of conservative.

And on Jeb Bush’s watch Florida state spending ballooned by 52 percent, from $48.6 billion in 1999 to $73.9 billion in 2006.*And state expenditures per capita rose from $2,809 in 1999, to $3,942 in fiscal year 2006-2007.
GOP has to run to the right to win elections. Then, they govern to the left, if they win.
Numerous recent articles have either stated or implied that Jeb Bush is a conservative. That same Jeb Bush who was dissing the conservatives just a few days ago, when he sought advice from John McCain on how to run away from the conservatives.
They (media/GOPe) know they can only sell Jeb by trying to convince the conservatives that he is one of them. It worked to elect that ‘compassionate conservative’ Bush.
They’re running EXACTLY the same play as they did when W first announced:
“Oh he is REALLY waaaay more conservative than his dad, oh sheesh..!! Way, WAAAAAY more..!!!”
They said it a trillion times —it worked.
Is it ANY SURPRISE they’re just pulling the same stunt THIS time..?
Sorry I just don’t buy it.
I never will.
Don’t bring us another shrubbery!!!!
MAYBE, if Palin were on the top of the ticket....
my dogs turds are worth millions!
(saying so does not make it so)
What I get from all of these stories is a very strong flavor of “Jeb Bush is the conservative” and an unstated subtext “of the range of choices we will allow you.” Ain’t buyin’.
You Freepers need to give him credit ... for being a common core, crony capital, unlimited spending, amnesty kind of conservative.
“This ruse will not work again.
MAYBE, if Palin were on the top of the ticket....”
Of course it’s going to work again.
I fully expect the GOP to either run Jeb or Romney again.
I thought it might be Christie but he flamed out.
There’s nobody else in line at the moment that TPTB find acceptable.
Palin could maybe mount a respectable independent campaign but she wouldn’t win.
I absolutely do not support common core.
When soft-in-his-old-age George Will recognizes that Common Core is nothing more or less than imposing a National School Board on every school district in America, then it’s pretty obvious that Jeb Bush is a big government kind of guy.
When this article points out that his spending ballooned in Florida, then you know he is a big government republican.
When he talks about illegally entering the US as an act of love, then we know he’s a (nut) new world orderist who doesn’t believe in borders and national sovereignty.
Bush is being pushed by the liberal media as the candidate who has the best chance to beat Hillary. That alone is reason enough to not support him.
As much as I hate to quote Jessie Jackson, “Stay outta da Bushes”. Good advise from the other side for a change.
The Liberal Booshies suck. They've done enough damage to the US.
Yes, it will work. Bush will get all the money he needs.
Conservatives will have 11 people run, all of them will be underfunded, and each of them and their cadre of supporters will tear down the others because of supposed conservative errors in their resume.
In the meantime, the moderates will decide ahead of time who their real candidate is and all of them support him right out the gate with money, attack ads, newspaper articles, etc., etc., etc..
We will then get to choose between Bush and Clinton, the 2 poor little rich and famous kids whose turn it is to run.
Unless of course we all get behind one candidate with MONEY and organization before the first primary. That's not impossible, and it's probably a good thing that conservatives are an argumentative lot in most things, but in this primary selection season it is how we are manipulated. They use one of our strengths against us.
Jeb is going to be pushed by the MSM in order to strengthen Hillary or whatever communist they intend to run. If they can keep Jeb in until the end then they win by default as Jeb does not have a chance in H*ll of winning. No real conservative would ever vote for him, and not a whole lot of the rest of the population would either.
JB is an Amnesty loving POC and conservative would defect by the millions. I don’t think he can win a primary unless cornyn and rove and haley barbour pay blacks $15 each to vote like they did against the TEAPARTY in Mississipi because they don’t want TO LOSE POWER!! JEB BUSH NO!!
there will be primaries that decide the candidate
Will the solid south prefer Jeb Bush or Rick Perry?
Jeb is deeply invested in Obamacare, Common Core and amnesty. How conservative can he be? The Republican left will spin him as a “big government conservative,” and do it without a blush. Jeb will fine tune what Obama has done, adding his expertise and big business experience to areas where Obama’s incompetence held things back.
interesting no one has to put out stories of Sen Cruz being a Conservative.
