Dude, it’s one issue. He’s a solid conservative on many others. Go ahead and keep looking for your perfect candidate.
“Go ahead and keep looking for your perfect candidate.”
Who’s looking for a perfect candidate? That comment is plain defeatism. “Dude, that’s one issue.” It’s not like this is a game or fantasy football draft. We’re talking about the sovereignty of our nation, dude. There are several a few issues that if a guy can’t get those right he’s disqualified. One of those issues is that this country is distinct from Mexico. Amnesty was all about dissolving that distinction.
I am going to go out on a wild limb here, but guess that Jeb Bush supports the bank/AIG bailouts, Fanny Mae bailouts, auto industry bailouts, and other big spending programs, like hundreds of billions for “infrstructure” and “green energy” programs.
He’s just another Big Government (compassionate conservative) Republican. I will admit he was an effective Governor on some issues.
I am not looking for the “perfect candidate” (And I am willing to bet I worked much harder than you did trying to get McCain elected), rather, but maybe someone to at least take a principled stand?
We are the furthest time away from an election, what time better than now to hash it out within the party and its future direction? I don’t particularly think staying on a familial course for power is the best thing for America at this moment in time, and that’s why I take a principled stand against Jeb Bush in Jan, 2009.
