The MSM and Establishment Democrats want Jeb because he will nullify ‘immigration’ as an issue.

Expect tons of Newspaper articles telling us how conservative and smart Jeb is... the push is on...

Don't care what their reasons are. I have seen two different Bush's undermine conservatives during their administrations and if we are going to overturn our existing system then we might as well vote for a Liberal and do it faster.

If Jeb's the nominee, I advise everyone to send him down in flames by voting for the Liberal Democrat. It is the only means by which we *might* teach the establishment a lesson.

So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth."

Um.. No. I will not toe for the lib, no matter what. Either one. I will vote local and write in the name of the first conservative attacked by the establishment.

Sadly, too many Republicans continue to ignore that counsel, and cling to the ludicrous notion that casting a vote AGAINST something is somehow honorable (e.g., "No! I'm not voting FOR that horrid, statist RINO Republican! I'm voting AGAINST the Dem!"). As a result, the GOP leadership have no incentive to work hard and listen to their base - why should they bother? They can polish a turd and put an "R" after its name and get enough Republicans to vote for it! The result? Those elected continue to get more and more statist and power-hungry and further divorced from the people they represent

And many of those conservatives who do manage to get in are soon compromised. Never forget Trent Lott's infamous quote:

“We don’t need a lot of Jim DeMint disciples,” Lott said in an interview. “As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them.”

Are you nuts? We are barely hanging on as a republic after the last “lesson” you geniuses gave the GOP. The problem is not as much who runs, but it is the primaries.The highest concentration of conservatives is in the South and middle of the country. The primaries start out in the Northeast and by the time it gets around to us it is largely over. THAT is what needs to change.

I would shoot myself before I would vote for a democrat for President. So you can take that idea off the table.

We’ll lose if Jeb’s elected anyhow.. so we might as well make the break when and if he he gets the nomination.
