Full-blown RINO.

Via Politico:

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) said Thursday that he found it “troubling” that the 2012 presidential candidates are “appealing to people’s fears and emotion” on the campaign trail, according to reports.

Bush expressed concern about the type of rhetoric that the candidates were using, without getting specific or naming names.

“I used to be a conservative and I watch these debates and I’m wondering, I don’t think I’ve changed, but it’s a little troubling sometimes when people are appealing to people’s fears and emotion rather than trying to get them to look over the horizon for a broader perspective and that’s kind of where we are,” said Bush, according to Fox News.

“I think it changes when we get to the general election. I hope,” he added, reported wire service UPI.

As if we needed yet another reason to get queasy at the mere mention of the name Bush. And no, I didn’t need another one. I am so done with this crowd.

What a dick! Im pissed. Instead of throwing all of us under the bus you would think he would listen to our anger and try to understand it. NOT call Reuters and tell them we suck. Asshole

Ok. I made a mistake when I said I won’t vote for Romney. I won’t vote for Romney or another Bush.

Enough of the Bushs, old man Bush brought us Clinton and GW brought us Obama. The last thing this country needs is another Bush.

He wants to do his little “hovering above” everybody routine by supporting Romney while trashing the rest of the field... without being honest enough to admit that that’s the case. Dishonest little coward.

I used to be a conservative ...

This apparently isn't satire. He actually did say it, nd context does not change the meaning.

I am coming to the belief that we are a one party system who shares power every 8 years.

What I find troubling is that there are still some people out there who give two-thirds-of-a-rat-turd WHAT Jeb Bush thinks or says about ANYTHING.
