It’s clear that Jeb isn’t a conservative, but it’s mightily kind of him to be honest about it. He could also do what the Mitch McConnells of this world like to do: lie about it until they get elected after which they ‘suddenly’ become as progressive as Nancy Pelosi.
That’s what Senator Ted Cruz recently said on Megyn Kelly’s show on Fox News.
Well, OK, I admit I added the last part about Mitch McConnell myself, but I’m sure you get my drift.
"I’m a fan of Jeb Bush. I’ll give him credit for candor and consistency. He is running based on his views, his views are different from an awful lot of Republican primary voters, but he’s honest about it and I think we’re going to have a clear straight-up debate about what’s the right direction for the Republican Party to go."
Cruz continued:
"I think it’s important for someone to stand by what they believe."
He’s right, of course; this way, Republican voters can’t possibly say Bush deceived them if they nominate him and he suddenly seems to be as far to the left as Hillary on many issues. You know what you get if you vote for Jeb: more government spending, more expansive government programs that increase the power of the federal government and that undermine the individual states.
"I think we should repeal every single word of Common Core. The reason is I think education is far more important for it to be governed by unelected bureaucrats in Washington. It should be at the state level or better the local level…"
Now, Bush and his ilk pretend that individual states have the opportunity to bail out if they want to in theory, but sadly it’s an entirely different matter in practice.

Ping.
He's a blogpimp, laziness is part of the gig.
Wish I could beat him, too.. with a stick.
Well Bush isn’t a Progressive by any means, and he sure isn’t a Conservative ... not even close. But there is one thing about Jeb that I didn’t know until the past few weeks of watching him. He is stupid. Outrageously, droolingly, blitheringly stupid. I am floored that a moron of his magnitude can tie his shoes.
God help us all if the GOPe gets him nominated.
Notice that I posted in full and he excerpted/linked? LOL
“Cruz continued: “I think it’s important for someone to stand by what they believe.”
And there, in a single statement is why we see FR flooded with “That’s it! Ted Cruz just lost my vote!” posts.
Decent people don't pimp for crack.

And while you two guys were arguing, I went and got the video link -
(And Y’all got me so cornfuzed I put the “blogpimp” tag on the wrong thread.)
Nobody is listening to Cruz. He is just another Harvard educated Lawyer Senator with an absentee voting record and a Goldman Sachs Stock Analyst (AKA Wall Street) wife.
” And there, in a single statement is why we see FR flooded with “That’s it! Ted Cruz just lost my vote!” posts.”
No creativity at all.
“Ted just lost my vote” coupons sold here.....
Really?
You need to get out more.......
I'm upvoting this as one of the most ridiculous posts of the day.
On second thought, the month.......
Lots of folks are donating time and money.

Liberals often substitute creativity with mindless screaming. It’s the pathology of their condition.

The month ain’t over yet...
