Liberals are confused about who’s racist and who’s not. They have the same trouble with conservatives. Liberalism is a world view for the clueless.

Let’s see... to the Tampa Bay Times, anyone to the right of Fidel and Raul Castro is a conservative...

Liberal calls Jeb a conservative. Well there you have it. We have our anointed candidate!

Liberals also called George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney "conservatives." You can call a mule a thoroughbred racehorse, that doesn't mean that it will win the Kentucky Derby.

But then, I suppose that just about anyone (even Hillary Clinton) is a conservative if you use Barack Obama as a reference.

No, he’s not an “arch-conservative,” but he’s definitely conservative. However, he has the fatal flaw of all the Bushes: he’s too gentlemanly to defend himself. He’s old style GOP conservative.

The Dems will walk all over him.

Jeb Bush is the latest in a line of Bushes who oppose Reaganism

Pretty much sums it up.

Don't agree with Jeb on some issues but...

Jeb fought hard for Terry Schiavo; in the end considered the executive overruling the judiciary not a precedent he wanted to set.

If Jeb is a conservative, PeeWee Herman is an NBA prospect.

Jeb Bush: true conservative

He’s about as true a conservative as his father George H.W. Bush and his adopted brother, Bill Clinton. We’ve had enough Bush’s. George W. was the best of the lot, but he was not a true conservative in many areas. We don’t need his lame brother.

No true conservative, who believes in the sanctity of human life, would have abandoned Terri Schiavo. I have no use for any of the Bushes, they are all unfit for public office.

Jeb Bush signed the law that allowed the State to take Terri’s life in the first place. He then decided to pretend to be on Terri’s side. The whole thing with the National Guard was for show. He called them out and then rescinded the order right away.

See, here is why the National GOP confuses me so much... the libtards are trying to tell us how conservative jeb Bush is because they know WE LIKE IT.

Even DEMOCRATS run as “staunch conservatives” when they want to win elections. In fact the only ones not afraid to say they are conservatives seem to be Democrats. [of course, we know they are lying]

So why do The Stupid Party candidates immediately veer left after the primaries?

So a tinpot little probate judge was able to judicially torture an innocent woman to death.

If they won’t keep their oath to protect the lives of the innocent, when they have the power to do so, they cannot be trusted to safeguard anything.

A vote for JEB!, is a vote to forfeit US sovereignty to mexico. You might as well elect neito for el presidente, and elect the cartels to congress.

Mexico already controls southern Texas, and most of California. Why give up anymore territory?

The republicans are just as dirty in this as the democrats. The one thing they can both agree on is exploitation of foreign labor for profit. Both sides are equally guilty of this.

Circumstances such as saving an innocent human life is exactly when the executive should overrule the judiciary! Indeed this is done rather frequently for convicts on death row in every state of the union, since this country was founded. This is done sometimes for humanitarian reasons (such as when the convict is gravely disabled) or if it appears that the convict may not be guilty. Terri Schiavo was both gravely disabled and innocent of any crime; yet the both Bushes decided not to intervene and grant executive clemency. This was a disabled innocent human being who was put to death in the most terrible way imaginable. Jeb or George Bush could have saved her and did not. There is something fundamentally wrong with the Bush moral compass!

Another run to the right to get elected, so they can govern toward the left Republican.

At the rate Boehner and McConnell are selling out, in 2 years, the Republican brand will be as distasteful in 2016 as it was in 2008.
