Jeb Bush 'Will Not Sign Any Pledges' in 2016
ABC News ^ | February 28, 2015 | Jonathan Karl

Posted on 03/01/2015 5:52:51 AM PST by C19fan

Anti-taxman Grover Norquist recently told ABC News he believes Jeb Bush will likely sign his no-new-taxes pledge if and when he officially becomes a candidate for president.

But, as Dana Carvey might say, "Not gonna happen."

Norquist may have had good reason to believe Bush would sign the Taxpayers Protection Pledge, where candidates vow to oppose "any and all efforts to increase taxes." After all, the vast majority of Republican candidates for national office and many for local and statewide office have been signing it ever since Norquist started Americans for Tax Reform in 1985.

Who gives a rip about both Bush and Norquist. Both of them are illegal alien loving scumbuckets of warm piss.

The Pledge is meaningless when their last name is Bush. They just lie

Bush wants to win without conservative votes. It is his Impossible Dream.

Regular piss is sterile. Jeb’s, at least, is contaminated with the Mexico virus.

As a physical specimen, Jeb reminds of DeBlasio—an overfall, graceless, unathletic and surprisingly effeminate. Usually height in a man creates distinction, but sometimes it just highlights clumsiness and awkwardness, especially with poor posture and too much weight.

NO ONE should take the pledge of a pro-illegal, Muslim Brotherhood stooge like Norquist. Seriously. They should all refuse, and state exactly why, so we can finally end his insidious influence.

Yeah, like I’m gonna believe a Bush who says, “No new taxes” - even if he leaves out the “Read my lips...” part!

Lil’ Jebbie received only 8% of the vote at CPAC.

Lil’ Jebbie/Lil’ Debbie* 2016!

(Debbie as in Debbie Wasserman Schultz.)

Jebbish wants to run without conservative votes.
He has no intention of winning.
Watch and you will see him run a respectful genteel campaign against the Democommunists while they throw everything but the kitchen sink at him.

Just like the last two designated losers, see McCain, Romney

I wouldn’t say impossible. The elites love them some Bushes. Unfortunately, in this age, conservatives with a biblical worldview dont belong to the ruling class.

Jeb Bush and lot of others would not keep the pledges if they signed them.

Bush is telling us in advance he is on the wrong side of the issues and this is just another example.

If anyone tells me that Jeb Bush believes in conservatism or conservative principles, my response is this:

“Jeb Bush’s “conservatism” or “conservative principles” are the kind you wipe off with TP.”
