Jeb Bush: 'I'm not backing down' from immigration stance
Washington Examiner ^ | February 26, 2015 | Byron York

Posted on 02/27/2015 5:36:59 AM PST by C19fan

In perhaps his most campaign-style speech so far, not-yet-official GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush vowed Thursday not to alter his views on immigration despite intense opposition among some parts of the Republican base.

"If I go beyond the consideration of running, I'm not backing down from something that is a core belief," Bush told a gathering of the conservative Club for Growth in Florida. "Are we supposed to just cower because at the moment people are all upset about something? No way, no how."

Bush is a DEMOCRAT or a wannabe. That’s what his immigration “principles” denote. Unlimited immigration ends all political opposition to the Democrat One Party Total State and ends the general prosperity of Western Civilization and the entire character of the America of its first two centuries. Soviet America here we come!

Really. I was shocked to see him listed as a speaker today. The dolt should recognize what he really is and just stay away.

Laura Ingraham just spoke at CPAC and suggested that Jeb and Hillary should run on the same ticket, in part because of their agreement on this issue. I hope they turn their backs on him like the NYPD did to de Blasio. He and Reince Priebus have no business being there.

The outstanding cable TV anthology show "American Greed" did a segment on Venezuelan fraudster (now jailed) Claudio Osorio.

Osorio, a Venezuelan schemer, organized high profile fundraisers, and was in thick w/ Democrats Obama, Hillary and Bill-----and with Jeb Bush.

Osorio donated some $80,000 to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, according to Federal Electoral Commission records. Osorio also donated mega-bucks to the Clinton Global Initiative.

Oops--how'd that get posted? (Snort)

Osorio's shell company, Innovida, submitted falsified documents and received $3.5 million in loans from the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) supposedly to build homes in Haiti after the earthquake.

In September 2011, OPIC began questioning Innovida's "negative operating cash flow."

A court appointed receiver in charge of investigating Innovida's finances indicated that "$37.5 million in funds had been moved offshore, but he had so far been unable to find out what happened to the money."

Osorio has used his constitutional privilege of invoking the fifth amendment right against self-incrimination when asked if company funds had been used to pay personal expenses.

Osorio was indicted on two counts of wire fraud and one count of major fraud, amongst other charges.

Federal prosecutors said Osorio defrauded investors from 2007-10, exaggerating the company's finances and pocketing millions of dollars to fund a lavish lifestyle.

The SEC claimed that Osorio had illegally used investor money to pay for a Miami Beach mansion, a Maserati car and a Colorado mountain retreat home. Jeb Bush agreed to return $270,000 that he was paid as a consultant to convicted fraudster Claudio Osorio and Osorio’s companies.

This jackass thinks that repopulating Detroit with illegals would be a good thing for the city and bring it back to prosperity. By that way of thinking then we should not have prosecuted the cocaine dealers in Florida because after all they did build Miami. they brought so much money into Miami that the city just took off. So they should be apologized to and have statues erected to them. Good thinking JEBBY.

Might as well start preparing now for the flame wars when Jebbish is the GOP nominee and we are all subjected to the people who think they can use guilt trips, cajoling, chastising, castigating and threats to propel this turd to the White House.

The Cheap Labor Express has already paid for their amnesty nominee.

Jebbish is this rounds designated loser for the R jersey division of the Uniparty.

We desperately need an opposition party that represents the citizens.
