I've had enough of the Bushes.

I’m sure FR has some posters who think Jeb is a conservative.

Probably the same ones who are always telling us to vote for the lessor evil.

“there will be primaries that decide the candidate
Will the solid south prefer Jeb Bush or Rick Perry?”

The solid south will probably be spit at least 4 ways just like last time.
TPTB aren’t going to let anyone they don’t have strings on get anywhere near the nomination. If by some weird fluke someone like Cruz did look like he could get the nod, they’d either buy him, or sink him.

The primaries will decide just as you say so why did Romney win last time if so many people hated him?

Terri Schiavocould not be reached for comment because she was starved to death on Jeb’s watch.

General. The one that used to count. We’ll see going forward if The W0n will relinquish power.

Just shows how stupid everyone is. J Bush is at best a RINO and may even be a liberal.

Yep, he should have had the Florida State Patrol enter that hospital and seize her, transporting her to some state or nation where she’d have been safely out of the reach of the judge who believed her death to be a sacrament.

The consensus on Free Republic was different from the Republican majority that nominated Romney. Republicans across the spectrum did not hate Romney

Actually there was no consensus on Free Republic. There was narrow minded sanctimonious self righteousness that would tolerate nothing beyond narrow private agendas. There was strong religious bigotry. There were foolish candidates that tailored a message to the specific narrow minded agenda.

Conservatives have no one to blame but themselves. Unless conservatives throw away their paper towel tubes through which they look at their own narrow agenda they will never again succeed at electing a president they can barely tolerate

The press is attempting to pick the most liberal Republican they can find to run against the most liberal democrat they can find.

The MSM loved McCain - not one of ‘em voted for him... but they sure loved him.

There are supposedly many who oppose Jeb as the 2016 nominee. We are asking for you to simply visit and “like” this page. Jeb Bush has 127K followers on Facebook. We aim to surpass that number. Please help us reach that goal by liking and sharing this page.

If Jeb Bush is the Nominee, I Will Abandon the GOP in 2016

Haha. That is quite possibly the most revealing and honest thing I’ve ever seen here.

I don’t get worked into a lather about it very much because I figured out a while back that the less I let my personal feelings get vested in things beyond my control the happier I tend to be in my everyday life.

I love FR but Freepers aren’t the base of the GOP neither or we a majority. As you illustrated we’re not even a majority here on FR lol.

As I said earlier I’m expecting it to be Jeb simply because there’s not another candidate in line that’s acceptable to the majority of the GOP.

I also believe that if Freepers could get a candidate they could mostly agree on past the primary, that candidate would get squashed in a general election.

The consensus on Free Republic leading up to and including the early primaries was pretty solidly against Romney. It was only after it became evident that Romney would defeat the fractured conservatives did many freepers begin arguing for the lesser of two evils. JR reluctantly got to the same place not very long (roughly 3 weeks??) before the election.

Romney ran a terrible campaign, was personally weak, and excited exactly 2 people, his wife and his oldest son.
