Palin praises Jeb Bush
The Hill ^ | 06/16/2015 | Jesse Byrnes

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin praised Jeb Bush on Monday, highlighting his remarks on raising children with special needs.

The comments from Palin, who remains a favorite with some grassroots conservatives, come a day after Bush’s official entry to the presidential race.

“It was encouraging today to hear Governor Jeb Bush speak directly to an issue that touches so many lives in these challenging times, both culturally and fiscally – raising a child with special needs,” Palin wrote on her Facebook page.

“I'm glad Jeb's life was touched by God's purpose-filled children, and hope he continues with a positive message of inclusion, empowerment and specifics as how we can best advocate for families who would never expect government to do it all, but would like to count on government being on their side,” she added.

Bush, whose campaign thanked Palin in a tweet, remarked during his announcement about his efforts as Florida governor on behalf of children with developmental challenges.

“We didn’t leave them last in line. We put them first in line, because they are not a problem, they are a priority,” he said in his speech in Miami.

Palin has traditionally thrown her weight behind grassroots Republican candidates, and Bush is seen as an establishment candidate.

Ahead of his speech, Bush's campaign released a video Sunday featuring a woman named Berthy De La Rose-Aponte, whose daughter is autistic.

“He really cares about us. He really cares about people with developmental disabilities, and with all disabilities,” Rose-Aponte said in the video. “There are people today that are getting services because of what Jeb did.”

Palin, whose post included a photo of Bush seen in the video, encouraged followers to “keep our hearts open” about a potential 2016 Republican presidential nominee.

For all the good Palin does for conservative values, her early boost to Yeb Boosh is surprising. (She normally puts the bumper stickers on after the election.)

I have no problem with her praising Jeb in this regard or Jeb praising her,

Exactly.
Doesn't make her a RINO.
If Jeb said he liked Stone Crabs, the color blue, Charmin toilet paper I'd agree with him.
I have no plans on voting for him.

It seems that according to many Freepers you would be hard put to find "a more wretched hive of scum and villainy" than a gathering of the present Republican Presidential Candidates.

Rich and Vinnie, thank you for rational responses to a thread and headline that was designed to attract the Irrational.

She is not praising his politics. She is just praising his work with special needs children.

Don’t panic.

RUN SARAH RUN!

Hmmm. Did anyone else pick up on this part of her message?

See you on the trail!

Now what do we think that that means?

Who said anything about inconsistency?

Jeb Bush is WRONG for America, as is anyone saying anything that in any way promotes his candidacy.

Its like Chris Christie hugging Obama on the eve of an election. Wrong.

Knee jerkers are in full gonzo mode now.

The Knee Jerkers pretty much dictate what passes for commentary on FReep these days.

:-)

Yes, there are many among us who are unhappy with everyone, and find no good in any.

I’ve seen Ted Cruz attacked....arguably the most conservative ideological candidate we have.

So let it be.

Jesus Christ is not running for office. He is already King of Kings, he won’t take the pay cut. ;-)

We will have to do with imperfect human beings until the consummation of the Heavenly Kingdom.

Not suprising she would give a nod to Jeb.

Or Rick Warren for that matter...

Birds of a feather and all that....

Just a reminder: Ted Cruz respectfully welcomed the Jebster to the race as well.

She did fine, all she did was say nice things about his attitude towards those with disabilities.

I kind of read it as a faint praise kind of thing, sincere in appreciating him on that particular issue, then quickly mentioning how many other fine people were in the race.

No big deal, the headline is not a correct view of what she said, it is neither an endorsement or any kind of "wow he's so great" kind of statement.

Yea, you’re probably right.

I just look at anything giving someone as despicable as Jeb Bush praise as something I would never do, unless I mentioned Terry Schiavo in the same breath.

Care to back up that statement with some relevant facts or is this just going to be a drive-by slam?
