The Teabag GOP is Bat[expletive]; Jeb is Noticing That as He Prepares to Run

For some time, rumors have been circulating as to whether former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will run for the president in 2016. As Bush further considers the possibility of running, he’s seems to have realized one thing: the current GOP is completely insane.

Yesterday, Bush announced a game plan of sorts should he follow through and run for president in 2016, according to The Huffington Post. Bush said a successful candidate must be willing to “lose the primary to win the general.” As strange as the rationale behind that analogy may seem, Bush is saying that a candidate must stick to his guns, which is respectable.

However, for the GOP, sticking to its guns means government shutdowns, holding hostage tax plans that benefit the poor, gutting healthcare reform, and inciting ignorance on Net Neutrality (we’re looking at you, Ted Cruz). Traditionally, Bush is a moderate Republican. But today’s GOP are just as extreme, loud, and obnoxious as ever.

“I don’t know if I’d be a good candidate or a bad one,” said Bush. “But I kinda know how a Republican can win, whether it’s me or somebody else. [The candidate] has to be much more uplifting, much more positive, much more willing to be practical,” when compared to past Republicans.

As pretty of a thought that is, whichever Republicans rise to the top of that cesspool of a party will do the exact opposite. Since fear, anger, and frustration with Obama won the midterms for the GOP, it’s likely that the party will key in on those same emotions during the 2016 presidential elections.

During Bush’s years as governor, there wasn’t a Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin, Rand Paul, Michele Bachmann, Scott Brown, Rick Scott, or Rick Perry. Republicans used to just be cranky, old white guys. Now, the Republicans are loud and boisterous psychopaths. They feed off their constituents’ fear that Obama will take their guns and pack them into concentration camps.

Jeb Bush can do all the “soul searching” he wants, but no amount of political moderation is going to win him any massive amount of GOP votes. If today’s Republicans are dinosaurs, then Republicans like Jeb Bush are primordial ooze.

There is enough bulls**t on this thread today to fertilze 40 acres of crops. Are we supposed to believe your statement above when November 4, 2014 proves it’s a crock? You think Thad Cochran won without the 250,000 Tea Partiers and Conservatives who were originally for Chris McDaniel? You think all the RINOs who won, won without votes from Tea Partiers? Come on txrefugee, lay down the crack pipe.

Presidential Elections it does hold true that Liberal Republicans do not fair well. If Gore had not been scandal tainted GW Bush who told the Conservatives to pound sand and embraced the Log Cabin GOP would have had a major loss in 2000. Ford-Liberal lost, GHW Bush - Liberal won one election on Reagan legacy and lost the next by his 1000 points of NWO Liberalism, Bob Dole Says-Liberal lost, GB Bush squeaked by what should have been easy wins had he not told the Conservative base to get lost, John Take a Dive McCain didn't even make it to the election despite the party nomination, Mitt Obamacare Romney LOST. Compare those to Ronald Reagan the most Conservative GOP post WW2 POTUS who won two landslides by embracing the Conservative Base.

Yes indeed if a GOP POTUS candidate disses the Conservatives {Tea Party} they can almost with certainty count on a loss in the General Election. The big question needed asking is why don't they care? Being paidor promised high paying positions to throw elections perhaps? They likely have more in common politically with the DEMs and share their agenda? I think so. I think politically the Bush Family likely agrees with most of Obama's policies than Ronald Reagan's and it certainly showed in "W"s botched terms as POTUS. Only the most devout Bush Cult loyalist defend the Bush clan now.

The Bush Family despite their Faux imported southern accents are northeastern LIBERALS born, breed, and educated, into the liberal culture considering themselves the ruling elite.

Were YOU right about the midterms? Uh, NO. You predicted we would NOT regain the Senate.

You are correct. Which proves my point exactly. I thought that the supporters of all the Tea Party/Conservatives would spurn people like Thad Cochran and Mitch McConnell who had threatened us, belittled us, screwed and tattoed us..... didn't happen. Thanks for helping me make my case. I repeat: You prove my point exactly!!!
