Bush draws boos from conservatives
The Hill ^ | April 12, 2014 | Alexandra Jaffe

Posted on 04/12/2014 10:25:02 PM PDT by kingattax

A mention of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), a potential 2016 presidential contender, brought boos from a conservative crowd in New Hampshire on Saturday.

Speaking at the New Hampshire Freedom Summit, a gathering of conservative activists and figures organized by Americans for Prosperity and Citizens United, billionaire Donald Trump said Bush’s recent comments on immigrants coming to the U.S. as an “act of love” were “out there.”

“You know, I heard Jeb Bush the other day,” he said, with quiet boos and angry murmurs erupting from the crowd at the mention of Bush’s name.

it’s nice of you to speak for everyone.

So, you were all in favor of Santorum even though he was vilified here on the premiere conservative website for endorsing the wrong guy? Remember that?

Or, did that make Rick Santorum someone calling himself a republican when he was really a liberal in disguise......?

Look, we are in a world of hurt here. Hillary is going to be the nominee in 2016 and if you think she’s going to be easy to defeat, think again. The LAST thing we need is a once again divided electorate. For those who refused to vote for Romney (he just wasn’t conservative enough)......who, pray tell, WILL be good enough to gain your vote in 2016? There is no consensus whatsoever. It just seems that so many here on the premiere conservative website will be against the republican candidate, no matter who he or she may be. that way, those certain people can remain the ‘victim’.

Maple syrup, goat’s milk, lot’s of stones, and snow.

Oh, and Maxfield Parrish paintings.

It's been that way for as long as I've been here. As long as that argument keeps working, the Republican leadership knows all they need is a candidate that's just marginally better than the Democrat and we'll all fall in line to voter for the lesser of two evils.

Look where it's gotten us. Now we're going to do it yet again but expect different results this time?

With the mentality of current American voters, President Camacho would probably win.

Free dope for all!

Bush 43 started as a decent POTUS. The country couldn’t ask for better after 9-11.
He faded towards the end but he is still 100% better than what we got in the whitehouse now.

Any President who’d let his AG send Justice Department lawyers before the USSC to argue to uphold Wickard v Filburn has sparse claim to the title of “republican”.

Jeb Bush went too far in the grandiosity of defending illegals... and not far enough in defending American citizens. He's off my list forever unless he wakes up and apologizes to all of us who have made this country our home. Jeb's position is disgraceful - this country is NOT his private estate to 'give away'...

Beautiful.......deserves a repeat.

Bush 43's grandfather

(note that American International Corporation was formed in 1915 to fund the Bolsheviks, supplanting the prior funding provided by Jacob Schiff.)

The Bushes have long been money managers and agents of the financial elites.

from Wikipedia...

George Herbert Walker

"In 1900, he started a banking and investment firm named G.H. Walker & Co.[1] His family had developed many international banking contacts, and he helped organize the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. Walker was known as the power behind the local Democratic Party.

In 1920, Walker became the President of the W.A. Harriman & Co. investment firm, and quickly arranged the credits that Averell Harriman needed to take control of the Hamburg-Amerika Line. Walker also organized the American Ship and Commerce Corp. to be subsidiary of the W.A. Harriman & Co., with contractual power over the affairs of the Hamburg-Amerika. W.A. Harriman & Co. (renamed Harriman Brothers & Company in 1927) well-positioned for this enterprise and rich in assets from their German and Russian business, merged with the British-American investment house Brown Bros. & Co. on January 1, 1931. Walker retired to his own G.H. Walker & Co. This left the Harriman brothers, his son-in-law Prescott Bush and Thatcher M. Brown as senior partners of the new firm of Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. The firm's London branch continued operating under its historic name Brown, Shipley & Co.

Walker was a director of the W.A. Harriman & Company; Harriman Fifteen, American International Corporation; Georgian Manganese Corporation; Barnsdall Corporation; American Ship & Commerce Corporation; Union Banking Corporation; G.H. Walker & Company; Missouri Pacific Railroad; Laclede Gas and the New Orleans, Texas and Mexico Railroad."


Walker's son-in-law, Prescott Bush, was a partner at Brown Brothers Harriman.

W. Averell Harriman is worth a look at, having been a key member of the Wall Street-Soviet nexus.

Secretaries of State, Presidents, etc., aren’t just picked randomly, sorry to report.

If you’re a President, Vice President, or cabinet member, you’re working for global elites, and you would never admit that.

It’s always the same little club that those people are chosen from.

Sometimes they’re on the Dem brand, sometimes the Repub brand, but they ALL work for the same financial elites.

Yes, many of these guys are Yale, many are also “Skull and Bones” fraternity.

Like the monarchies of old, these are the ruling families of the United States.

There’s just a thin veneer of “democracy” painted on, to give the sheeple the illusion that they have no ruling dynasty.

On the Dem side, you find the same thing, ruling families, and little minions that were proteges, also coming out of the elite colleges, with those most highly regarded minions typically being Rhodes scholars.

The financial elites can’t allow outsiders into those top government jobs. If necessary, as in all nations, the elites remove those who represent enough of a problem for them.

Those inside dynasty families are reliable; the only other reliable minions are those who are devoid of any morals and completely corrupt. The elites need this reliability. All the candidates for top advisor jobs will be chosen by the elites, so all a President has to do is pick from the multiple choice options their advisors give them.

I’d vote for Romney again before I’d vote for Bush or anyone who looks like Bush. These bast*rds stole the election. You had the IRS and who knows who else involved in surpressing the vote.

We don’t need some political hack. I like Rand Paul and Ted Cruz but these guys are Senators. They make the worst presidents. Give me a business man/Governor to turn this mess around.

Not Jeb Bush. For some reason he reminds me of Donny Osmond.

I agree.

You completely missed my point. The point was to show the dumbasses what it takes to win a war in the hope they decide they do NOT want war.

The armed forces are not police. They are not meals on wheels. They kill people and destroy things.

Chickenhawks like LBJ and GWBush think it is OK to start "limited" wars, or "police actions" that cost American lives and treasure but end in defeat. Viet Nam. Afghanistan. Iraq. All resounding defeats. Do you support that?

The republicrat party left me. I am a registered Libertarian. The republican party is a bigger threat than the democrats. My mission is to remove as many republicans as I can. See my list on this thread of all the damage done by Bush, added to by many other freepers.

The Romney nomination was the last straw. Wait for the lame duck session when Boner, McConnell and company screw us over good.
