Groan: Jeb Bush Accuses GOP Candidates of Fear Mongering, Finds It “Troubling”…

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.

I don’t ever remember ever being troubled about anything ever in my entire life. Never. Not once. I’ve been scared shipless and made wisecracks to try to feign bravery. I’ve been stressed beyond a tolerable level on many occassions while managing my finances. I’ve been angered more times than I can count. I’ve been shocked, upset, disappointed, so many emotions. But I don’t ever recall being troubled.

The GOP brings us every democrat president, because the only people the GOP can defeat is the GOP.

Fear mongering? He's either not paying attention or he's a part of the problem. Go away, Jeb. No one wants to hear from you, anyway.

And this is the guy whose name people keep floating for a “brokered convention” (which isn’t going to happen anywise)?

No thanks. No more Bushes. Ever.

Jeb, people are fearful and they want their JUSTIFIED fears to be addressed. It is “troubling” that you are so out of touch with real people in this country.

Stop reading and listening to liberal media and think for yourself. How disappointing

Jeb wants us to all sit down and STFU and get with the globalist program his daddy was pushing.

If the tounge tied Bushes are “troubled” over all the speaking out goin’ on out there, that is a good thing.

Bush’s lack of engagement on the conservative side of life brought us Obama and the Rino GOP that loves him. It enboldened the Left.

No more Bushes.

True to Rino form, Jeb never opposes Leftist hate speech and radicalism; only when conservatives speak up against Obama and the Marxists, is there a problem for these idiots.

Jeb needs to go away.

“I used to be a conservative

Translation: now I'm a pragmatist, opportunistic, status quo, mixed economy moderate.

Another crony communist Bush speaks up.

Papa Bush sold us out to China.

GWB sold the rest to Mexico and India.

Nobody in the USA benefitted except their fellow crony communists.

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

**************

In 1968:
The (fatally-flawed) populist third-party candidate George C. Wallace (former governor of Alabama)--

Was making serious tremors in the political establishment of BOTH major parties--with every campaign stop--

"There's not a dime's worth of difference between the Democrats and Republicans"

************

When he entered the 1972 presidential primaries in the field of numerous Democrats--his popularity was outpolling McGovern and Humphrey right out of the chute...

As we all know...
While campaigning in Maryland in May of '72 (with a huge lead in the opinion polls) -- "the lone gunman" surfaced--and shot him five times.

He won the Maryland and Michigan primaries--though the assassination attempt ended his candidacy.

************

FOR THE RECORD--

I am not a fan of Wallace's politics or his segregationist record---
-- I was glad to hear of his repentance, profession of faith -- and making restitution later in his (paralyzed) life.

However--

At this one point of political analysis--
"There's not a dime's worth of difference..."

...Seems like he had it figured right...

**********

I DO believe that God's Judgments will expose every crime and criminal--including corruption and conspiracy-- as well the "hatred in the heart"-- that Christ teaches is de facto murder in God's eyes.

When Bremer's handlers (and Oswald's... Sirhan's... Hinckley's... et als) --are called to account--

...It will make for interesting closure.

FOR NOW -- I HAPPEN TO AGREE WITH YOU....
.... AND THE GUB'NAH:

"There's not a dime's worth of difference..."

Our guys are routinely asked questions that UNITE liberals against us. Lots on birth control - none on the price of gas... Many on 'will you trash the person next to you' and few on how can we solve the problems that MATTER TO CONSERVATIVES.

Ask Sarah Palin to moderate a debate rather than some liberal who hates us...

Jeb, just go away. You may not remember what you did to the Shiavo family and Terri; but I do.

Life is good for Jeb. He has a rich, politically connected daddy and brother, he had a good run as a Governor, and he has never had to worry about the direction of the country because he already had his.

The rest of us care about the future because we do not benefit from the Bush family trust!
