The New York Times reports that the "cash-rich group aiding Jeb Bush’s White House run has filmed a provocative video casting his rival Marco Rubio as ultimately unelectable because of his hard-line stand against abortion."
According to Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Michael Barbaro, the man running Bush's Right to Rise super PAC recently showed the video to a focus group of Republicans in New Hampshire. During the first GOP debate, Rubio had this exchange with Megyn Kelly:
KELLY: If you believe that life begins at conception, as you say you do, how do you justify ending a life just because it begins violently, through no fault of the baby?
RUBIO: Well, Megyn, first of all, I’m not sure that that’s a correct assessment of my record. I would go on to add that I believe all–
KELLY: You don’t favor a rape and incest exception?
RUBIO: I have never said that. And I have never advocated that. What I have advocated is that we pass law in this country that says all human life at every stage of its development is worthy of protection.

Boy, who thought that one up? I thought the pro-lifers were making headway. I will not vote for a pro-death candidate ever.
Damn, Jeb!
What’s that on your boots?
What in THE HELL did you step in?
GOPe sadness ensues...
Is this how mommy and daddy had him reboot his campaign?
Yebbie’s bread being buttered by the elites in the GOP! FUJB! (And, I’d never have thought I would ever say that)
It’s very telling what they choose as their line of attack.
Well, that was incredibly STUPID!
Jeb is like Obama in respect to having a thought of their own or an opinion. I can’t imagine him in the White House.
That John Ellis Bush plant from the audience who went after Trump also suggested he wasn’t pro-abortion enough.
Teeing up the crossover ‘Rat vote in open primary states ...
Everything Jeb does is incredibly stupid.He’s running one of the worst campaigns ever and doesn’t seem to know the difference.
We already have a Constitution which is required to protect ALL human life.
Why do these people parse words-—to distort and destroy our Constitution.
We need ALL JUST LAW to promote “public virtue” ALWAYS and ALL Natural Rights apply to ALL Human Life equally—even the weak and sick——including in the womb. Place does NOT matter—but SCIENCE/fact does——(Montesquieu/Justice John Marshall.)
Christian Ethics are the only ethics in line with Natural Law Theory and God’s Laws-—the basis of Rule of Law and our Constitution and Bill of (natural) Rights.
To remove the intent and meaning of the very words in our Constitution is unconstitutional and IRRATIONAL (all Just Law is Right Reason) ...makes all unjust laws are “null and void” and we have a DUTY to disobey ALL unjust laws.
That means ALL LAWS that promote unequal situations—loop holes/stealing from producers (welfare) -—like progressive taxes/ -—whatever -—or vile irrational use of the human body (sodomy) has to be declared “null and void” NOW. Central control of health care/schools UNCONSTITUTIONAL NOW. We need to allow FREEDOM in choosing schools and doctors NOW. Government certification (censorship)-—GONE.
Our Constitution is incompatible with Stalin’s Constitution and Satanism and other “worldview” of slavery. Vice creates Slaves only-—we in Western Cvil have known that simple fact since the Greek Masters, and it was reiterated by St. Augustine and all Christians for centuries.
No killing babies—ever. No promotion or elevating irrational vile behaviors of sodomy to our children— NEVER. There is no Rights to lie and pervert the Truth (”...laws of nature and nature’s God) EVER-—it is the basis of ur Justice (virtue) System.
Trying to remove Christianity from US Justice is impossible since it was the only worldview learned and understood and embraced by all the Founders who all memorized the Bible growing up. They used the Bible for all oaths and being in court-—and you were not allowed to be a “judge” if you were an atheist (had an irrational worldview where there could be no Natural Rights from God).
This guy Jeb Bush acquires more and more stench as time goes on. You could tune into him tomorrow, the next day, or the next day and he would do or say something completely off the wall, unintelligent, and frankly lame. He’s like a Republican Joe Biden and I also get the idea he doesn’t even know what he’s saying half the time. Weird. His nomination would quite simply guarantee a Hillary win. For that reason, I consider him dangerous; not just some sort of lovable dumb bumpkin, but a guaranteed HRC win. However many Republican voters sat out over Romney would be tripled by this guy. I honestly don’t see an atom of appeal.
How can being pro-Life make somebody un-electable?
After all the “Good Book” does say; When the choice is Life or death choose Life.
“Jeb is like Obama in respect to having a thought of their own or an opinion.”
I absolutely agree with you, I really get the sense that other people with access to him are stuffing ideas and tactics into his head. It’s bizarre, actually. Maybe the GOPe thinks 0bama won because he’s such a a blank slate. Pathetic.
It’s a brilliant move.... for the GOP-e. Jeb’s donors know he’s unelectable, so they’re burnishing Rubio.
treating pro-life as a negative means you’re not pro-life. Basically the life of a baby is less important than you winning the election
“We already have a Constitution which is required to protect ALL human life.”
IMO the first huge major victory that will hurt America for decades was Roe v Wade, which in my opinion was absolutely unconstitutional simple because all life is to be protected.
Now quiet abortions have graduated to “in your face” baby butchering.
Had the lily livered RINO’s of that era stood up and impeach the justices and reversed that decision and put the left in their place we may not be where we are at today.
Hells Bells. That Baby Hitler thing escalated quickly.
