If we elect Jeb Bush to be the nominee for the Republican Party, I will relentlessly and effectively push for a third party candidate in the general election.
This Republican primary will determine the fate of the party. There are millions of Republicans that see this time in our country as a turning point. We have a great opportunity to rally together clearly communicate our message to a generation that has never heard the truths and values that so wonderfully make up the conservative stance. Conservative policies work for everyone. They make life better for us all. However, the average American has never been given the opportunity to hear an honest presentation of our principles. I am 35 years old, been voting since I was 18, and have never been given the opportunity to vote for a conservative in the general election for president.
Party leadership and big doners have bought into the theory that if we simply elect someone in the middle, we will get everyone to the right of them and everyone in the middle, while the democrats are stuck with the far left. That is such a flawed simplistic campaign philosophy. The independents and middle voters are often moved by the passions and ferventcy of a candidate's supporters. The Republicans continue to elect candidates that generate no enthusiasm; therefore they fail to persuaded the middle. The conservatives have no passion, no ferventcy for a candidate who doesn't see why all of the conservative positions are crucial. It is not just about "social issues", it is not just about "economic issues", it is not just "foreign policy"; every issue is tied together. They are all related. They will all crumble as you allow one of them to slip away as we refuse to even give the American people an opportunity to hear a voice in descent of the left leaning media, education system, and the leftist politician. The American people have a natural bent towards conservatism. When given a fair presentation, they will more often than not choose values and freedom. If the country has shifted left, it is only because they have been hearing one side of the argument for decades now.
I for one am tired of the ineffective leadership of our party. I am not working for anyone's campaign, I don't work in politics, I am not a lobbyist, just a fed up conservative. And I view it as my pressing duty to make sure that I have the opportunity to vote for a conservative for president in 2016. If that means we have a third party, we split the vote, and the Democrats win... so be it. I know it would take a few election cycles before a conservative alternative to the Republican party would gain traction. But, at least a message would be heard. And my conscience would be at ease knowing that I am done compromising this country to death.
I still think there is hope in the Republican Party. I am not done with it yet. The average voters of the party are good and conservative. The money and power in the party has just been distracted and misled by the media and the insiders. They are detached from reality. If those in influential positions within the party would back conservatives that will communicate their message, not hide it, we will win.
I have never financially contributed to a presidential candidate before, I have never went door to door, or helped get people registered to vote. But if we elect a true conservative, someone like Ted Cruz, perhaps Ben Carson, or maybe with some strong convincing someone else, I will poor myself into their campaign. I will give financially, I will go to the nearest battle ground state and go door to door, I will give myself for this great country that is hurting and struggling so much. But, if we elect Jeb Bush, I will still give financially, I will still go door to door, but it will instead be against the Republican Party in favor of a conservative alternative third party.
Conservatives lose because they are beholden to a party that despises them and are stuck voting for Democrats in R jerseys.
Anyone wanting me to sign an online petition, all they have to do is submit a Freedom of Information Act request to the nearest Communist Chinese consulate, located within the Continental United States.
I’m sure they will be glad to help you, since they, on the record, have all of my information.
The agenda’s of Hillary and Jeb are one in the same.
At least with Hillary, the GOP would show some token opposition.
With Jeb, it would be full steam ahead.
Exactly why Hillary would be the lesser evil.
If it turns out to be a Jebster vs Hillary election, I will be hammering that home.
Jeb and Hill 2016 What’s the difference?
That was before the Republican party started nominating full blown socialist like Bush or Krispy Kreme.
Been down this road and I’m done with this line of thinking. If the GOPE force Bush as the nominee when they get their asses kicked up one side and down the other in November 16 this is all on them because I will be voting third party or down the ticket, but HELL NO to anymore liberal Republican nominees!!!
And it was Buckley who made a similar statement.
They are the low information voters of the Republican Party. They see that (R) and despite the fact they have been lied too repeatedly and treated like third class scum they flock to the (R) for more of the same. I have concluded they really are the low information element of the GOP or they like being abused, gives them a reason to bitch and moan and then come back for more.
I will crawl over broken glass to vote for anyone with a chance of winning who is running against Hillary.
Look at their policies, they could run on the same ticket. Bush is more of the same old statist lies, socialism and BS that has flowed from Washington since 1989.
Another option. If bush wins Cruz/Walker, Walker/Cruz go independent.
You are the Republican Party target. They could dig up Ted Kennedy and stick and (R) in front of his name and run him against Hillihag and the GOPE knows they got your vote because of the Party approved (R). You are taken for granted and loathed in Washington, they want your vote and then demand your silence and you comply each election cycle.
I’m not a Floridian so I can’t vouch for it but I believe Bush was at least fiscally conservative and I would hope would nominate conservative judges but I know there’s a lot of hatred for all things Bush here.
Which is why the GOP will never represent you. They own your vote which, if you think about it, means we’re not a constitutional Republic. We’re a popularity contest.
Please sign this petition telling the establishment that you’ve had enough and will not vote for another leftist.
...
Go ahead, but the establishment could care less about what you think or want.
There’s nothing telling me he would appoint conservative judges. When he was governor he “made diversity a top priority” in appointing judges.

That’s true. It’s really more for primary voters. They should understand that if they cast their vote for Jeb, they’re alienating an important voting bloc.
You’re probably right but still I would vote for him over Hillary.
If I sign, am I going to get emails from every candidate from Hillary to jeb asking for money? No thanks. The establishment already knows how we feel and they DO NOT CARE!
I am watching a circular firing squad here.
If Jeb were nominated and elected, it would be a move to continue down the slope. If Jeb were nominated and not elected because of unhappy conservatives, Hillary would take us over the cliff.
To give Jeb and Hillary moral equivalents is to confuse feelings with reason. Hillary is a criminal, a corrupt and vicious Marxist and an intellectual failure.
I will vote against Hillary regardless of who is facing her. Go Ted.
