I like what she has to say. Makes a great deal of sense - which, of course, means the GOPe will totally ignore it.

I became disenchanted with the Bush's when George W. Bush REFUSED to secure the Mexican Border--IN VIOLATION of his duty and oath of office to uphold and enforce U.S. law.

Barbara Bush's verbal attacks on Sarah Palin were the last straw.

George W. spent more of the tax payers' hard earned money than any President since Lyndon Johnson.

Worst of all, he set us up for what we've got now.

And before that, I was one of his most loyal and ardent supporters!

It only took two Bushes to take America from where it was when Reagan left office to where it was when the Marxist Muslim took over.

While I think you just can’t extrapolate what happens in a House District to a Statewide or National election ... Good Heavens I love that first sentence.

The Boston Herald speaks to the non crazy MA resident, and that's more people than most outsiders realize. Scott Brown was elected to the US Senate to stop the insanity; he lost to Elizatbeth Warren when he turned out to be just another compromising fool. (who the NH RINOs want to send to the US Senate again; go figure). Mitt Romney was the last of a long line of Republican MA governors elected to keep things in line and stop the insanity; they didn't and they lost the governorship.

What's my point? This Boston Herald article has it correct, and the RINOs should realize it's "game up". Real US citizens are sick of the invasion of the US and sick of the debt and sick of government over-reach into their lives. Even in the Yankee core of MA.

And yet the NJ Star Ledger this morning has a front page piece about how Cantor's loss is no gauge on immigration "reform", and that it will have no impact on the immigration push in Washington.

This is why people call it the "Star Liar", and they literally GIVE the paper away for free at my local Dunkin Donuts.

And of course, in the article, they use the PC term "undocumented immigrants" (no, they are LAW BREAKING ILLEGAL ALIENS!!! Quick, someone call the Thought Police, I've committed a Thought Crime). And when talking about Brat's position on immigration, they felt the need to put the word "illegals" in quotes, as if it is a slur or a phony word or something.

Absolutely pathetic.

The Boston Herald leans conservative. Like any blue state, Massachusetts, with a population close to 7 million, has a few million conservatives.....the problem is that they are vastly outnumbered by liberals.

...underfunded Tea Party candidate David Brat in Virginia has sent shock waves through the Republican Party...

He isn’t a tea party candidate. Most elements of the various
Loosely knit groups commonly referred to by the media as “tea party” did support him...vocally.
Where was the financial backing? Where were the people on the street working the vote?

[Bush]... smart to hand the presidential reins over to a viable Tea Party candidate now

Nope, the GOP-e would rather hand POTUS to the 'Rats again, and go full force Marxist for 12 or 16 years, than have a GOP-tp run executive.

"...and other hot-button issues fracturing the party."

The idea that the GOP is split is absolutely ridiculous. You have the GOP voters, who are to 80% in agreement on most issues. You have the RINO Establishment, which has all different priorites. The RINO's are all Chiefs with no warriors. They campaign as warriors, then get into office and act as Chiefs. The warriors are figuring out this game and it ain't gonna work much longer. The Conservatives in the GOP House and Senate are going to be receiving re-enforcements. Look what just 3 senators, Cruz, Paul and Lee have done to shake up that elitist club. What will 10 or 12 be able to do?

” - - - - Republican voters are not happy with the GOP’s establishment position on amnesty for illegal immigrants and other hot-button issues fracturing the party. - - - “

Adrianna Cohen described, in the above quote, the disconnection between the GOP-E leadership and that of the Republican voter.

To her credit, she did not rely on the usual defensive Liberal smokescreen tactic of using Liberal Media Polls based on OPINIONS to magically transform her case into a beyond question “Scientific” Case.

What Ms. Cohen and much of the rest of the Right and Left Stream Media are mis-reporting is that there is a “fracture” in the Republican Party.

The basic assumption of these journalists is that a political party must be monolithic, united, and speak “with one voice.”

Anything deviation of opinion in the party is viewed as a danger that must be quickly healed before it becomes, (gasp!), a fracture.

The current Democrat Party is a perfect end example of what today’s Journalists view as normal political party behavior.

The reality is that The GOP-E Leadership has chosen to arrogantly ISOLATE itself from its voters.

The triple Presidential losses of Dole, McCain and Romney has curiously served to strengthen the GOP-E Leadership’s resolve to isolate themselves even more from their former and present Republican voters.

While the GOP-E Leadership has been busy appeasing, caving-in and otherwise “marching to the drum beat” of Obama, Reid, Holder and Pelosi, they have marched themselves into ever-increasing isolation.

After 4 + years of handing Obama a blank check, ignoring all illegal bypasses of Congress and caving-in to whatever Obama, Reid, Holder and Pelosi demand, the GOP-E Leadership has effectively isolated itself in the eyes of the average Republican Voter.

I’m hoping that what happened in VA this past Tuesday night will even more so fire up the Tea Party and True Conservatives in MS, KS and TN. Be very afraid Thad Cochran (MS). Be very afraid Pat Roberts (KS). Be very afraid Lamar Alexander (TN). Be very afraid.

Jeb Bush and Hillary are both advancing themselves using the crutch of "white privilege." Jeb and Hillary are seen as opportunistic---using their privileged connections and political money to gain power.....which in the $5 million Cantor debacle is decidedly unpopular w/ voters.

Both Jeb and Hillary have benefitted from, and are climbing back into office, using privileges far beyond those of regular guys.

"White privilege" denotes the array of advantages cultivated over the years.

<><> personal wealth....

<><> multiple homes in posh enclaves....

<><> holding high public office....

<><> privileged friends in high places....

<><> global connections....

<><> constant affirmations of their own worth....

<><> greater social status...

<><> the expansive freedoms wealth and connections provide...

<><> unlimited access to the press to speak freely.

Anything Bush does to redefine his amnesty position for campaign purposes will be a lie and most people will recognize that ...I think.

If Jeb Bush wants to be useful, he should dedicate his efforts to making sure that Florida goes for the Republican candidate in 2016, then perhaps serve in the cabinet of the next President. One of the departments where he can’t do much damage.
