Religious Faith to Be Key Piece of Possible Jeb Bush Run

A memo from a top adviser to Jeb Bush gives a clue as to how he could connect with the conservative base of his party if he runs for president: talking about his religious faith.

Faith is listed as one of nine “issues you care about” in a memo to Mr. Bush’s supporters from Sally Bradshaw that quotes Mr. Bush on each topic, offering an on-message preview of his potential bid for the Republican nomination.

Referring to his conversion to Catholicism, Mr. Bush says, “My faith was strengthened when I converted to my wife’s faith…It gives me a serenity that, in a world of a lot of turbulence, is really important. It creates a moral architecture that simplifies things. There are views that I have, that are grounded in faith, that really aren’t negotiable and it just simplifies things.”

Why would Evangelicals go for Dauphin Bush when they have a real Evangelical in the Huckster or Cruz. I am not sure what church Dr. Carson goes for. If you want a practicing Catholic Santorum is a much better choice. The only thing I see Dauphin Bush's faith influence him is his immigration is an "act of love" type statements. Dauphin Bush is in line with the Open Borders Catholic leadership.

My faith was strengthened when I converted to my wife’s faith…...

Seems to me the Dauphin has made a lot of accommodation to his wife. Two are very prominent: Religion and USA sovereignty. I wonder what else the allure has changed in him?

Jeb doesn’t have a prayer.

[Ann Archy]

Exactly.....Jeb is going nowhere.

I’m sorry but was he a front row Catholic when he allowed Terry Shiavo to die?

[a fool in paradise]

It worked for Barack H. Obama.

Jeb has Common Core hung around his neck... NOT GOOD!
Do NOT want Huckster.. because THAT is EXACTLY what the self-promoter is!

“I’m sorry but was he a front row Catholic when he allowed Terry Shiavo to die?”

Excellent point.

So incredibly phony. You connect with people by being yourself and having them drawn to who you are. Truly genuine leaders are not all things to all people, but are something consistent and appealing to most people with the something being what people consider important. Such leaders come across the same no matter the situation because that's who they are.

Fake phony frauds like Jeb and the rest of GOPe talk about religion or strong borders or smaller government only when their advisers see an advantage to it. The moment they no longer have to, they revert to their true selves. We're seeing it now in Congress where Boehner, McConnell, McCain, Graham et al. are done making their election year hostage tapes and want to resume being the the go along get alongs they truly are.

Yet another establishment politico wants to live in DC and sit around with his thumb in his b*tt while the nation slides ever deeper into h*ll.

Wonderful.

As far as I am concerned The days of the JFK scenario of “vote for him because he is Catholic” are over. I think those of us who are conservative are more engaged than we were in 1960. At least I hope we are.

Fool me once, Bush Jr. Played an evangelical once before as well, no thanks!

[Arthur McGowan]

Jeb Bush murdered Terri Schiavo.

But at least she was a fellow Catholic!

Well, that certainly explains his position on immigration reform and amnesty.

You know he’s quite desperate if he’s pulling the religion card.

"Seems to me the Dauphin has made a lot of accommodation to his wife. Two are very prominent: Religion and USA sovereignty. I wonder what else the allure has changed in him?"

Then there's the fact that he won't even speak English in his own home. I think he can't stand it that he wasn't born Mexican.

He can "try to connect" with conservatives any phony way he likes, but I refuse to vote for the amnesty-loving doughboy even if the AntiChrist is his opponent.

Jeb Bush murdered Terri Schiavo.

But at least she was a fellow Catholic!

And then had the gall to attend the Pope's funeral a week later.

[Gaffer]

If HE is the ticket in 2016, I stay home election day.

[CatherineofAragon]

If there are any conservatives to vote for downticket. I’ll do that. But never Jeb.

You know when and if that happens, we’ll get flak from those who think any Republican is better than a Dem. ;)
