Leaner, meaner: Jeb Bush starts his climb
Washington Times ^ | 7/20/15 | Jennifer Harper

Posted on 07/20/2015 5:57:45 AM PDT by jimbo123

Monday marks the first in a series of speeches by Jeb Bush “that will outline what his priorities will be as president, beginning with taking on Mount Washington and reforming the way D.C. works” — this according to his campaign. The inaugural speech itself is titled “Taking on Mount Washington,” in fact.

While it is an interesting metaphor, the tone and tenor of it also could mark a change in demeanor for Mr. Bush which could help him fend off critics who frame his campaign as inconsequential or tepid.

The GOPe are truly delusional.

But then, they must certainly want to lose. This is guaranteed.

BUSH is DOA for me. Common Core did it. Any person supposed to be an American would not BRAG ABOUT speaking MORE SPANISH in his home, than English. And he wants to be president?
No Way, Jose!

If they want to use a metaphor derived from the White Mountains, the current status of the Old Man of the Mountain is much more apropos.

Yes, and when he’s finished he’ll maybe be at number 4.

I swear, and will start an internet petition to reinforce this, that I will sit home on election day 2016 and watch a SpongeBob Squarepants marathon rather than drag myself out the door to vote for Jeb.

I suppose it “could” do a lot of things. We’ll see I guess.

“Jeb . . . is starting his climb . . .”

Only if Mexico comes out and votes!

What a joke!

Jebby Bubble Boy Bush wants to be taken seriously. Well wake up Mr Legacy Baby, Rome is burning, Savage hordes are crashing the gate, Rainbow Flag-ettes are marching to victory while Mom and Pop and the Red White and Blue are being trampled.

So you Mr Bush need to answer the call with fervor and determination to fundamentally Un-Make ALL of the crap Obama has dumped on us.

Are you up to the fight Mr Bush, or do you still want to sweet talk your way through the enemy lines. Oh, Ok...you don't want to be “divisive.” It's important to show “tolerance” and a respect for “diversity.”

Jebby, you are a LOSER! We don't need a 6'5” Mr Nice Guy wimp. We need a FIGHTER! That is obviously not you!

Okay Jeb. Let’s hear what you have to say.

Despite what seems to be heavy Establishment backing, Mr. Bush deserves to be heard.

What is his vision? Why is he the one who can make it happen?

Is Mr. Bush willing to allow local control of education again, instead of from Washington?

Will he acknowledge how Americans have suffered loss due solely to illegals coming across the Rio Grande,when making decisions on immigration?

Realistic introspective reflection about what they (’they’ being Bush and the GOPe) are would reveal to them the true meaning of the statement “We have met the enemy, and he is us.”

It’s the same approach Bush took 17 years ago, when he derided the state capital as “Mount Tallahassee” — bureaucracy-laden and bereft of fresh ideas.In his first year as governor, Bush said he preferred community-based solutions and opposed “topdown” systems.

“The expectation here isn’t that you’re supposed to be waiting for a message via pigeon from Mount Tallahassee,” he said.

As bad as that is, and I agree with you, amnesty is worse.
