"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Tea-Party Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know!

[GeronL]

They only like the RINO until the primaries are over.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Gotta give the press credit, they know how to make the GOP run around in circles waiting for their endorsements of losers.

[Tea Party Terrorist]

The moment he sews up the nomination is the moment the legacy media will take their knives out.

[Rome2000]

Bush let the communists starve Terri Schiavo to death

Hes got no chance in hell

[amnestynone]

He is not acceptable under any circumstances. He is an open borders backstabber and frankly if had my choices I would prefer Christie over him.

[Secret Agent Man]

fat rino or thin rino. i’ll take neither, thanks.

think harder gop.

[skeeter]

The MSM will make a hash of another Bush candidacy. It'll be a bloody turkey shoot.

Of course they know this.

Question is, will the GOP allow the MSM to choose their candidate for them - again.

To ask the question is to answer it.

[Ray76]

Fat chance. No Bushes.

EVER.

[GeronL]

bump

[xzins]

Bush is better than Christie.
He’s better than Romney.

He’s a pro-life moderate.
He has been pro-life his entire political career, iirc.

[GeronL]

He also seems pro-amnesty

That’s a deal killer.

[VRWC For Truth]

Stay out da Bushes. DOA.

[SoConPubbie]

He has been pro-life his entire political career, iirc.

He's a younger version of his big Brother GWB.

We can and must definitely do better!

[nascarnation]

Jeb Bush....NJFatboy....man what a depressing lineup.

[House Atreides]

He also seems pro-amnesty

That’s a deal killer.
*****************************************************
I think he’s beyond “amnesty” and has an innate belief that the borders should be wide open for our Mexican neighbors. I wouldn’t trust this creature one bit.

[House Atreides]

Stay out da Bushes. DOA.
**************************************

I agree—there are poisonous snakes lurking in the Bushes.

[xzins]

arch conservative former Arkansas governor and television host Mike Huckabee.

This is a joke...right.

Huckie was busy gushing all over Mitch McConnell this weekend.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Boy, they sure love to pick our candidates, don’t they? Says more about how weak-tea the Democrat candidate consistently is. If the conservative Republican running “can’t win,” why don’t the media never hype them up?
