Likewise Bush’s reputation as a fiscal “conservative” rests largely on his tax “reforms.” But the cost of government, as every principled conservative recognizes, isn’t what government collects in taxes, it is what it spends.

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.

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’.

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.

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!!

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.

Terri Schiavocould not be reached for comment because she was starved to death on Jeb’s watch.

Just shows how stupid everyone is. J Bush is at best a RINO and may even be a liberal.

There are supposedly many who oppose Jeb as the 2016 nominee. We are asking for you to simply visit and “like” this page. Jeb Bush has 127K followers on Facebook. We aim to surpass that number. Please help us reach that goal by liking and sharing this page.

Spending skyrocketed under all the Bushes. They are very generous with other people’s money and freedom.
