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.
When has Jeb said anything about the bailouts? Nice gigantic assumpmtions. Fact is, Jeb Bush when put along the political spectrum is a conservative in nearly all reasonable definitions of the word.
The guy would have won in a landslide and been a conservative member of the U.S Senate. I respect his decision not to run, but I stand in amazement at those conservatives happy at his decision not to. I suppose you’d rather have a fight for the FL senate seat and possibly make it easier for the Democrats to get to 60.
Here’s hoping Rubio runs at least, he seems to have a chance. The others would lose.
Hopefully our recruitment efforts are better in other states, Senator Cornyn.
