MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (March 19, 2015) — Jeb Bush is betting his political future these days on the hope that pragmatism will trump conservative hostility in 2016.

Fresh off his first public tours of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, the Republican White House prospect has settled on an early approach for dealing with skeptics on the right, casting himself as a practical but "principled conservative," particularly when explaining his immigration and education positions that put him at odds with the GOP's most conservative factions.

Bush often wraps his philosophy in scathing criticism of President Barack Obama. But the former Florida governor's theme is clear: He wants to be the grown-up who ends the Washington "food fight" and governs to "fix things for everybody, not to win a political argument."

He wants to be the grown-up."

That patronizing horse---t infuriates me.

What he really wants is to be the king who forces us all to understand what is good for us.

Barely a difference between that and the Boy King we have now, except the latter merely wants us to know how much he despises us and America in general.

Another Bush would be much the same, only he would see it as doing it to us for our own good.

A kind of "act of love," in the words of the limpy wimp Governor himself.

NO!

Anyone who votes for Jeb Bush CANNOT call themselves a conservative. If Bush becomes the nominee I WILL NOT vote for him. Period. I don’t care who the Democrats have up against him, Jeb will never, ever get my vote.

Yes they can, and here’s how: You think you’re a patriot by staying home? Well, Elizabeth You-didn’t-build-that Warren thanks you. You want to give congress to Nancy Pelosi? Just because your guy didn’t win, you’re going to take your ball and go home? The perfect is the enemy of the good. RINOs are better than Democrats....

Need I go on? The same crap we’ve been hearing since Bob Dole.

We’re going to say the same crap in response: We need to take back the GOP from the moderates. We’re gonna primary that guy. We’ll hold our nose and vote, but they’ll listen this time because we sent a clear message.

You’ll see. It’s the same as Black America, the Rats know they have them and all they have to do is throw them some red meat now and then without improving their condition in any way.

He’s wrong. I’m not changing my views and I’m not going to believe him if he decides to claim he agrees with me.

I don’t think he will. So far in the face of conservative outrage, he has doubled down on amnesty and common core.

And if his handlers think I’m voting for him as the lesser of two evils, they are dreaming. That ship has sailed.
