Then that is what I will probably do, otherwise I will have no candidate... (again)
I agree.
"Kinder/Gentler"
"Compassionate Conservatism"
(Insert Jeb's tagline softening conservatism here)
Why can't Republicans stand and make the case for true conservatism?
GW called himself a “compassionate conservative”. He was solidly pro-life, so I voted for him both times.
I’d call him a moderate now after time to think about it.
Nonetheless, a lot of us conservatives voted for him, and almost went to war for him over hanging chads.
I ain’t voting for Jeb Bush. He supports Communist Core, open borders, and he let Terri Shiavo die.
"If we can't find more than two or three families to run for higher office, that's silly, because there are great governors and great people eligible to run," she said in the interview taped last fall and set to air Monday as part the cable channel's series on first ladies. "There are a lot of ways to serve and being president is not the only one, and I would hope that someone else would run."
"With a dollop of sugar, she said there was no doubt in her mind "that Jeb is the best-qualified person to run for president." But, she underlined, "I hope he won't."
"It is not the first time she has splashed cold water on the notion of a Bush presidential trilogy. In an interview on NBC's "Today" show, timed to coincide with the opening last spring of her son George W. Bush's presidential library, the former first lady said, "We've had enough of Bushes."
I don’t see how he had any choice in the matter. Hes just a governor not a dictator. Florida law don’t allow otherwise, nor would you or I think it should.
We are going to have to accept a lot of “deal-killers” if we are to accomplish anything.
Right now the Demos have setup an electorate that needs to be told one thing even as they need something completely different done.
We have a few major issues we can run on from Their war on the young:
http://washingtonexaminer.com/millennials-unhappy-with-obamas-war-on-the-young/article/2542394
to massive government dysfunction, all of which have a small government solution in implementation. But as you yourself no doubt know, we can’t get that message thou the Leftist media filters so we have to sell them one the left can at least acknolage even as we plan to do something very much more practical.
What we need is something of a Trogan horse, for the left to allow people to hear about.
“Why can’t Republicans stand and make the case for true conservatism?”
Because there aren’t enough real men in this country to support that.
Look what has happened to our boys over the last generation or so:

We no longer have the male numbers to respect hard truths.
If the GOP runs Jeb...the DNC just runs commercials of “Bush Presidents”...and its over for the GOP
Bush supports Illegal Alien Amnesty, Open Borders, and wimped out on Terri Schindler Schiavo. The Dems would love to run against Jebbediah
PLEASE! NO FRICKING RINOS IN ‘16!
I don’t see how he had any choice in the matter. Hes just a governor not a dictator. Florida law don’t allow otherwise, nor would you or I think it should.
Not true.
As Governor of Florida, he could have ordered Schiavo removed from the hopsice, and sent in state police or national guard to do it. The judge in her case ordered her death...a judge cannot order a death or execution...only the governor can order an execution. He would been consistent with the law
Note that Rick Scott pulled the State Attorney in the George Zimmerman case, and put in one of his cronies, on the order of the Black Racists who wanted Zimmerman lynched..er tried. Yes Jeb Bush could have kept Terri Schiavo alive, and he is not going to be able to liberal his way out of it
“If you want a presidential candidate who is a social, fiscal, and defense conservative, I’m fairly convinced you will have to go outside the republican party.”
*******************************************************************
Damn, when did Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin leave the Republican Party? I was afraid that was going to happen.
Big fat no to both of them!
Stay out the Bushes!
Maybe you should ask the former Governor of Florida why he didn’t bring that particular subject up.
I suspect he and the dimwit around him never even thought of it that way. That being said I doubt that it would have made a difference. Terri Schiavo as i recall was brain dead.
What was done may have been wrong and a betrial on the part of her husband. I don’t strongly urge state intervention between families. The fact is Terry married that man so I can’t pretend to believe she didn’t trust his judgement.
Jeb? No thanks. We need the Tea Party to tell the GOP-e to get lost.
BTW, just what was the name of that fancy award that Jebber gave Mrs. Bill Clinton after she retired from being Obama’s Secretary of Statements?
If we’re gonna lose as many perdict, might as well lose with a Bush!
(Now, is he from Connecticut like his dad, or from D.C. like his granddad, or from Texas like his bro? These poor orphans couldn’t grow up together with mom and dad.)
LOL You still don't get it?
The law is whatever the guy with the power says it is, and we've been living under a dictatorship since the Lincoln Administration.
Bush is a pussy, we need street fighters to stop the communists.
