A mention of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), a potential 2016 presidential contender, brought boos from a conservative crowd in New Hampshire on Saturday.
Speaking at the New Hampshire Freedom Summit, a gathering of conservative activists and figures organized by Americans for Prosperity and Citizens United, billionaire Donald Trump said Bush’s recent comments on immigrants coming to the U.S. as an “act of love” were “out there.”
“You know, I heard Jeb Bush the other day,” he said, with quiet boos and angry murmurs erupting from the crowd at the mention of Bush’s name.

You're right, it won't. And it doesn't matter whether that liberal administration is lead by a Democrat or a Republican, except for those for whom party affiliation trumps ideas or principles.
If you had the sense to take off your blinders of party loyalty, you'd realize that it really doesn't matter whether social welfare policies, amnesty for illegal immigrants, and crony subsidies for the financial services sector are pushed through by Democrats or by Republicans. The net result is the same.
It’s odd that all of these comments are coming from “different” posters, yet carry the same theme.
I will repeat once again, for you, “ek_hornbeck”, in 2016, I will vote for the republican nominee for President.
Now, IF that nominee isn’t one to your (and the other posters carrying the same theme) liking, doesn’t that mean that you didn’t do your job during the primaries?
You can stay home again, or vote for the probable dem nominee Hillary, because isn’t the meme “they’re both the same”!
You remain the victim, I’ll continue to respond to all of the different posters responding to me with the exact same memo.
Good luck electing Fat boy or Jeb. The party you champion will not let a conservative in.
You can’t work for another state’s primary? What is stopping you? If you are so adamant that certain people shouldn’t be the nominee, it would make sense that you work for the person you WANT to be the nominee. If I was so upset that people I loathe so much that I call them names even had the chance at the nomination, I think I would really put forth some effort to make sure my candidate had a chance. But then, doing that would prevent one from complaining all the time, wouldn’t it?
So, you’re a victim yet again. What a pity.
I could similarly argue that your posts are virtually indistinguishable from others who think that liberal policies are just fine, as long as they're passed under the watch of a Republican. In other words, had LBJ given us price controls, you would have been complaining. When Nixon did the same, you probably defended the policies to the death. Similarly, you're probably behind those Republicans who support amnesty for illegals, while opposing the very same policies when they're pushed by Democrats.
Perhaps you've heard of "yellow dog Democrats" - a completely mindless political party animal. You Karl Rove lapdogs are the GOP equivalent.
Pelham, are you actually telling me that there is ANOTHER thread here on the premiere conservative website trashing President George W. Bush? NO WAY! Seriously, that shocks me beyond belief.
You poor, poor, victim of the “GOPe” (whatever that is)
No, it’s different, “ek_hornbeck”, but I am not the victim of the eeeeevil “GOPe” (whatever that is). I don’t need a plethora of posters here on the premiere conservative website to come to my defense when others (with different screen names but the same message) claim they just can’t work for their candidate!
Isn’t that the real issue here? You and the “others” just want to be the victims of the eeeeeevil “GOPe” while you fail to work for your own candidate. Once the republican party elects its nominee, then your victimization starts anew! The eeeeeevil Karl Rove and the “GOPe” did it! You and the “others” will cry “I AM STAYING HOME THIS ELECTION”, all because the unnamed candidate you wanted didn’t win. If only you had worked for that candidate......
You poor poor victim. Obama has taught you well, eh?
I know I'm wasting my breath talking to a broken record, "swpa_mom," but let me ask you an honest question. Is there any political issue, any issue at all, where you would refuse to vote for a Republican candidate? Is there no compromise or drift to the Left that you would consider unacceptable, as long as you get the "R" next to the name? It seems to me that if Hillary Clinton ran as a Republican (and why not, John McCain and Jeb Bush have more in common with Hillary and Obama than they do with someone like Ted Cruz), you'd gladly vote for her too.
I also repeat my question to you: what is the difference between having welfare state policies and price controls signed into law by a Democrat (LBJ) or a Republican (Nixon)? What's the difference between having amnesty for illegal immigrants peddled by Bush or by Obama? I don't suppose "swpa_mom" will have an answer to these questions. It's so much easier to the let Republican National Committee do all of the thinking for you, isn't it?
“You poor, poor, victim of the “GOPe” (whatever that is)”
Assuming that the word ‘victim’ has real meaning and isn’t, as it appears to be, your favorite obsessive fetish, it seems to mean “all my conservative enemies who fail to brown nose the Republican establishment”.
If that’s the case ‘GOPe victim’ could become a popular self identifier around here.
“I don’t suppose “swpa_mom” will have an answer to these questions. “
ek, now you’re just being mean. Our thoughtful interlocutor swpa_mom will cogitate on this conundrum, and having carefully weighed all the pertinent facts will declare that.... that you are a poor victim. A ‘victim of the eeeeevil “GOPe”, whatever that is’.
It’s a pity that she didn’t come up with a shorter tag line for us, then we could use it.
Are you two the same person or just joined at the hip?
ek_hornbeck, or Pelham, if you’re the same person.........when it comes to the presidential election, I am voting for the republican. There are two choices, democrat or republican. Dream away about the third party candidate, maybe in my great grandchildren’s lifetime, but not in 2016. You see, we have a primary process that you probably don’t like. Are you the one who last voted in 1996 for Gary Johnson, or was that the other poster who answers for you? I’m confused at this point. I remember the attacks towards a good man, Rick Santorum, from so many of the regular posters here on the premiere conservative website. Surely you remember that. The reason for the attacks? his votes? no. his policies? no.
He did not endorse Pat Toomey in a primary election. You see, on this premiere conservative website, votes and policies don’t matter, it’s all about endorsements? Oh, I know what you might be thinking, geez that Toomey guy has kinda fallen out of favor here on the premiere conservative website. That doesn’t matter, Rick Santorum HAD to be attacked by many of the regular posters here for THAT reason alone.
Are there moderate democrats? No. Bob Casey was fed to the mush brain yewt as one, but Bob Casey is barely aware of his own existence. He does as told. But, to many here on the premiere conservative website, Santorum HAD to be defeated for his horrible mistake of endorsing the wrong person in a primary election! Surely you recall all of that.
So, you two continue your snarky comments and remember, whoever the republican candidate happens to be in 2016, he or she gets my vote. Period. Oh, you can stomp your feet and have your temper tantrum, “not conservative enough, I’m staying home”. If you want a candidate, you better get moving, that person is going to need a ton of money to defeat the dem candidate with all of that union money. Unless, of course, you would rather just complain about the republican field from the comfort of your sofa.
Obama has taught you to become a victim and you’re a victim of that eeeeeeeeevil “GOPe” (whatever that is).
“Obama has taught you to become a victim and you’re a victim of that eeeeeeeeevil “GOPe” (whatever that is).”
You demonstrated long ago that you are a One Note Johnny. Or Janey as the case may be.
Your MO is to go to a thread, post a rant denouncing ‘conservative firing squads’ ‘conservative purists’ and anything else that gets in the way of the Republican moderates and liberals that make you swoon. You were pushing Chris Christie back in January.
We get it. You like GOP establishment hacks and you come here to beat a drum for them.
I don’t know if it is because you aren’t especially bright and imagine yourself to be a voice of reason or whether it’s because you’re a troll who enjoys being a skunk at the party.
Eye iz vary stoopid.
So, are you the one who hasnt voted since he (or she) voted for Gary Johnson, or are you the other one?
Its a difficult concept for you to understand? I will not vote for the democrat nominee for president. I will also not vote for the democrat for president by default by having a temper tantrum claiming the republican just isnt perfect enough.
If i am that angry at the republican field, i will blame myself for not working harder for that perfect candidate.
I will, not, however, become a victim, as Obama has taught you to be.
Who is “we”? You and the other poster with a different name but the same vocabulary?
If the republican party wants my vote they must fire. Boehener, McConnel, Cantor, and Ryan from all leadership and committees. Then I will consider voting republican again.
Well, whatever you are ‘tiresome’ is part of it.
Good luck with the RINO cheerleading. Someone has to do it.
