Jeb Bush: 'I'm a conservative' (Running for president?)
CNN ^ | November 19, 2013 | Ashley Killough

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush predicted Monday night Congress would pass a series of immigration bills next year and touted his conservative credentials as he talked about his thought process on a potential 2016 presidential bid.

In a wide-ranging, onstage interview at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, Bush said he didn't necessarily agree with his mother, who joked there have been "enough Bushes" in the White House.

The Spanish-speaking former governor also took a slight dig at another potential 2016 contender, Sen. Ted Cruz, for his Spanish language skills.

'I'm a conservative'

At one point in the discussion, moderated by Fordham law professor Thane Rosenbaum, Bush was asked whether the tea party could coexist with moderates like himself and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

Feigning shock that he was called a moderate, Bush argued that his style may be different but he's still a conservative at heart....

All these GoPe crats are party crats.

They do zero serious journalism of sweat and blood when it comes to issues of investigating abortion or illegal immigration.

They are just granted by the communist media a chocolate medal of being hawk conservatives while being neither.

This is affirmative action in the GoPe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For once - I agree with Barbara. Who very well may be the most liberal Bush there is.

Seems odd to pick Noo Yawk as the place to tout his (supposed) conservative credentials.

On the other hand unless someone the caliber of Cruz runs, I guess any RINO will do.

Get a real job, Jeb. No one wants another Bush in the White House.

I'm hoping for a SNL skit of Jeb yelling at Christie for eating too much of the hurricane pork while Christie is yelling at Jeb because he's the younger stupid brother of a failed political dynasty.........

Ah yes, a man can dream.

Jeb Bush reminds me of Prince Charles. They are both rich, useless, and out of touch members of a royal family.

All Jeb Bush is worried about is illegal immigration.Where is concern for Americans losing healthcare insurance,the Obamacare train wreck, high unemployment..All the Obama scandals.? All we hear about is how we are suppose to ensure the illegals all have better lives than Americans.

I think we've uncovered the real DannyH, true conservative, who scored high on every *conservative* test he's taken....it's Jeb.

Will we never learn?

You have to realize that at least half the nation is a dumb as a brick. It's not too far then to assume that some who aren't view people as Jeb, Christie, and the rest of the RINO's as "conservative", because the majority seek the middle ground.

Sometime the louder you have to say something, the less truth there is in what you are saying. I think he is trying to convince himself.
