Whistling Past the Junkyard: The Establishment’s Attempt to Make Jeb Seem Inevitable
breitbart.com ^ | 1/4/15 | C. Edmund Wright

Posted on 01/04/2015 3:37:03 PM PST by cotton1706

For several weeks now, the mainstream Jurassic media has been up to their old psychological warfare tricks, and naturally, the Republican establishment is falling for it hard. They always do, and this includes “the architect,” Karl Rove.

This time it’s the media’s attempt to get Jeb Bush the Republican nomination for President in 2016. Articles that fawn over Jeb, either from a formidability standpoint or in the vein that he’s a “reasonable” conservative are everywhere. There has also been a release of meaningless polls touting Jeb’s strength atop the potential Republican field. These have all surfaced from many of the same quarters that tried to sell the country similar notions about John McCain in 2007-08, Mitt Romney in 2011-12, and to some extent even Jon Huntsman.

Naturally, the GOP establishment was all in for McCain in ’08 and Mitt in 2012 as the two “most electable” Republicans, because they would appeal to the independents. They were not and did not. The establishment was wrong again. They always are. (More on that later).

From the Jurassic media standpoint, this is a fairly transparent attempt to soften the battlefield of ideas with shallow psy-ops by warning Republicans and conservatives what they must do to keep their party from becoming extinct. Consider some history: this is the same media that told us Romney was actually “too Republican and too conservative” in 2007-08. Some tried to assure us the Democrats really feared Huntsman more than anyone else in 2011-12. Later, we were told Romney was inevitable and that Newt Gingrich only appealed to “fans of cock fights,” racists, and “Tea Party extremists.” We were told soccer moms in Ohio didn’t want us to criticize Obama because he was so personally popular.

"Keep in mind that all of these warnings come from politicians, pundits, and consultants whose main goal in life is to destroy the Republican Party, especially the conservative wing."

Aint that the truth!! We seem to be the only thing standing against the oligarchy!!

I believe the fix is in - JEB! will be the next president. It’s time to inform America now that he plans to destroy our sovereignty and freedom. The counter-revolution starts now.

Totally agree.

But I would stop calling Rove “The Architect”, as he is really the “Undertaker”.

I don’t care if Jeb runs. I just do not plan on voting for him. He will bring himself down without my help.

Come and listen to the story ’bout a man named Jeb,
rich politician whose family helped him get ahead.
Then one day watching border-crossers flee,
he figured it was time for Bush number three.
President Bush that is

Big government, crony capitalists…

Well the first thing you know ol Jeb’s the President
Bush Clan said “Jeb move away from there” 
Said “U.S. Capitol is the place you ought to be” 
So he loaded up the Mastretta and moved to D.C.
Washington that is.

K Street, corrupt politicians...

Well now its time to say goodbye to Jeb and his Establishment kin. 
And they would like to thank you folks for voting them all in.
You’re all invited back again one day to this same possibility
To have a heapin help of another they call George P.
Another Bush that is.

Crazy, Jessie Jackson was right...

Stay out of the Bushes, y’hear?.

That’s “At least the leadership is qualified.”

What is inevitable is that I will not vote for a RINO again. Run Jeb. See where it gets you.

What conservatives should do is run their own candidate and their own debates then put the conservative candidate up against the establishment candidate.

Conservatives aren’t prohibited from running. What conservative candidates need to do is network better. The one who’s doing best in that regard is Ted Cruz. I’ll vote for the eventual nominee, period, unless of course all the other candidates drop dead and Rand Paul gets nominated, in which case I’ll vote for the Democrat, rather than a Democrat in all but name.

Good luck getting Jebbie nominated without the conservative base. Better luck getting him the Presidency when 6 million republicans sit home.

Like we’re supposed to let the leftists in media tell us who our candidate is to be?! Like we’re gonna listen to the freaks who are directly responsible for 0bama’s presence in the presidency? No way in hell!

Every election cycle, we have to go through the agony of a group of squishes, and a group of conservatives and watch as some one is chosen before the vote gets to our state.

If you happen to live in my state PA, by the time we get to vote, it's basically over, and that really upsets folks that want to make a difference, but realize the futility of voting when the primary candidate has already been selected.

I will not vote for a RINO again also! We are at the point of we only have one party in this country now. Next is a new Patriot Party or CWII and or the Patriot Party after the smoke clears. As for me I’m ready to meet with my brothers on the green.

Hell happened.
