Jeb Bush just made a big break from many of his GOP rivals (Wouldn't ban Syrian refugees)
Business Insider ^ | November 17, 2015 | Colin Campbell

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) separated himself on Tuesday from some of the absolutist anti-Syrian refugee positions being offered by his Republican presidential rivals.

During an interview with Bloomberg Politics, Bush said "if there's any kind of concern," refugees should not be allowed in.

"But I don't think we should eliminate our support for refugees. It's been a noble tradition in our country," he added.

Maybe he’s getting ready to officially switch parties.

Bush is doubling down with stupid. I hope he can’t sleep at night worrying about his single digit poll numbers.

More Jebberish.

I will be glad when I never have to hear the name "Bush" again.

Has anyone ever polled below zero? Jeb may become the first to do so.

I think Bush wants to further tank so he can get out.

Yep, fork you Obama.


After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.


Some music for reflection if the mood strikes you.

An honorable mention also goes out to Lassana Bathily , a Muslim immigrant from Mali.
Mr. Bathily sheltered customers at the Jewish Deli and helped police by providing info
on the terrorists, and providing the location of survivors in the deli.

If your name is John Ellis Bush and you think we need stealth jihadists admitted to this country, there’s no one home where you would call it a brain.

Moron.

Let’s all be high minded, eh Jeb?

It’s too hard for him to understand that every refugee from every place does not have to be brought here, and it will not be a crime against humanity if they are not.

Does anyone know the mindset of the average Syrian refugee? Seems to me to be one of the last places on earth I’d take people from.

He just took the opposite position of about 30 GOP Governors that don’t want the refugees.

Yebbie really ought to fire a few consultants on this one. It’s a good idea to separate oneself from one’s competitors, to be sure, but coming out as the only one in favor of Ebola is not necessarily the way to do that.

Well, that works too, but I meant this to be addressing Jebra and his stance on Syrian immigrants. He's finally gotten to the level of just ranting for attention.

I had just read something on Obama and he was on my mind too.
