Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is not scheduled to appear here at CPAC until Friday, but there is already a movement underway to stage an informal protest when he hits the stage.....

....“We are going to get up in mass, and we are going to walk out on him,” the 64-year-old said. “We are not going to interrupt anyone’s speech, but we are all going to exercise our right to the bathroom at the same time.”...

That’s an excellent plan. Let him speak - to an empty room.

It might seem impolite but conservatives are tired of being used. The GOP-e has picked Jeb to be the next losing Republican presidential nominee and WE ARE NOT GOING TO SIT and suffer quietly while the Bush-GOP-e machine rolls over the base.

No it’s not.

Each and every individual has the freedom to decide for themselves whose speeches they wish to listen to and whose they do not - what’s childish is calling them names for exercising that freedom.

And it’s not like Jeb Bush has anything new to say anyway.

A Walk Out is not the way we handle things among Republicans regardless of whether they are conservative or not. It diminishes our message.

Agreed. We need a new party. Wish Palin would just declare a new party — no arguing, no handwringing, no haggling with the GOPe RINOs, just good-bye and good luck.

(But not sure even a new party can solve our problems; I think they will only be solved when the Lord comes back)

FWIW -

““When Jeb spoke at CPAC in 2013 over dinner, it was flat, and he opened high up on stage chastising the audience for talking over the introduction,” he said. “It was like he didn’t want to be there — and it showed.”

From Capitol Hill, take the P17 to the Fort Washington Park & Ride, then catch the NH1 to National Harbor. The bus trip takes 63 minutes.

If bush has people bussed in and he already has people saving seats for others when the protesters go to the “rest room” the rest of the bush people will come in and it will appear he has support among Conservatives. They should hold their seats and applause.

Great plan by these people. No disruption, but gets your message across.

I guess it just shows the difference in how, apparently, both of us were raised. And, who knows, he might just say something new.

Your parents raised you to believe it is childish to exercise your right to freedom of association?
