ARLINGTON, VA — U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced that former Florida Governor Jeb Bush has endorsed John McCain for president.

"John McCain is a patriot and devoted conservative leader," said Governor Bush. "Like no other candidate in the field, John McCain has made tremendous sacrifices for this nation. He is beholden to no interest other than that of the public good. He is determined and steadfast in his commitment to reducing the burden of high taxes, restoring the people's trust in their government, and winning the war against radical Islamic extremists. It is with pride that I announce my endorsement of John McCain for president."

To take the other side, what was Jeb supposed to do? Mathematically, it is pretty much McCain’s nomination (Dam**t). A lot of these folks are party insiders who are just trying to keep it together and coalesce behind a candidate. I think it is telling everyone who didn’t endorse until we had a final candidate. Are they really endorsing McCain or are they endorsing an anti-Hilldog/Osama ticket?

Can we stop with the demonizing already? Because your tactic has worked SO WELL thus far.

Amen.

[keepitreal]

Add another Rino to the list!

Jack Kemp Endorses McCain

Give them all a Scarlet “R” to sew to their shirts.

[pissant]

Open borders folks sticking together.

McCain / Bush 2008!!!

[End Times Crusader]

Good to see you have such faith in the people.

Ironic that McCain now uses the Bushes after he’s griped about them and “stood up to” them four 8 years, and after crying for three weeks about how GW cheated him in South Carolina.

Jeb is hardly a RINO. He was as conservative, if not more, than Ronald Reagan.

---

Jeb is a RINO

He suspended the death penalty in FL because some felon wouldnt croak after the first of his good-bye juice injections. Another RINO governor, Charlie Crist, did reinstate it

He supports illegal aliens. Not only for the business-socialist crowd, but also his wife is Mexican

Jeb refused to take executive action, which he could have done under FL law, when Terri Schiavo’s husband wanted her dead. He had every right under FL law to do so....but refused.

No surprise he supported McCain

Or maybe conservatives should just shut up and leave already and give this country a good third party to consider. I’d love to have another option in elections rather than just write in protest votes.

“It’s becoming obvious who the real RINOs are.”

You’re right. Conservatives should strip themselves of referring to themselves as Republicans - that party has lost its way.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Jeb is not a RINO. Know how I know? The press in Florida HATED him.

[james500]

“Just curious, are there any members of the Republican Party who aren’t Rinos?”

That’s just the kind of question I’d expect to hear from a RINO. /s

As much as I hate the sarcasm tag, in these strange days I’m compelled to use it.

ROMNEY + HUCKABEE DELEGATES = REAL RACE vs McCain.

Come on, Mit, give your delegates to Huck and we will have a real test of McCain..... before its too late and the Dems get ahold of him.

"John McCain is a patriot and devoted conservative leader," said Governor Bush.

barf alert!

[mnehring]

but also his wife is Mexican

What does that have to do with anything?

[IMissPresidentReagan]

Between the two families, I’m reminded of Archie Bunker’s comment regarding FDR and the presidency when arguing with Maude. I can’t remember exactly but it is something to the effect of how he didn’t know FDR was going to hang onto the presidency...

[Recovering_Democrat]

Exactly, IO. You are right. JEB! was a damn good governor.

Joe, Florida ping alert

JEB! outshines Charlie Crist by a 10-fold magnitude.

[cripplecreek]

Humped by the RINO.

[rockabyebaby]

To take the other side, what was Jeb supposed to do?

Simple, he should have just kept his mouth shut.

[BerryDingle]

Just curious, are there any members of the Republican Party who aren’t Rinos?

The MSM wants you to think that, just like what they did to Thompson and Hunter.
