Crunch time for Jeb Bush
Politico ^ | September 26, 2014 | Ben White

Posted on 09/26/2014 10:04:14 AM PDT by C19fan

It’s now or never for Jeb Bush. The former Florida governor flirted with presidential runs in 2008 and 2012 but ultimately demurred, always with the flickering possibility of mounting a campaign down the road. But at 61 years old, the second son of former President George Herbert Walker Bush is now likely facing his last shot at the White House.

Your daily dose of who will be the GOPe flag bearer. Are we in for either the Dauphin Bush or Willard Stassen?

Lord Jeb lost his chance to be president when he lost the Florida governors race to Lawton Chiles in 1994. After Bush I and Bush II, conservatives now know what they will get with another Bush presidency — massive social spending, entitlement expansion and other liberal domestic policies under the guise of “compassion.”

Not just no. But HELL NO. To Jeb AND to Mitt.

We need a solid conservative candidate in order to have an ice cube’s chance in DC to win in 2016. I won’t be holding my breath for that to occur, however....considering the current crop of RINOs, wimps and ‘go along to get along’ nitwits that are running things in the GOP.

Blob-face Jeb needs to go away.

In fact the entire creepy Bush family needs to emigrate.

Let him and every other mushy, muddled Moderate run, and then couple that with only one or two conservatives like Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz.

Use their games against them.

He might be a great guy, but after Bush, and then Bush Light, we don’t want Bush Light Light. Though he could nullify any Hispanic advantage the Dems may have.

Crunch time for Bush was when his brother was screwing up from the White House.

Jeb, it gives me great pleasure to tell you, there’s no way in hell you will ever be president.

Your just being a purist and selfish! A person who is 10% for your values and 90% against conservative values is known far and wide in conservative circles as a Republican.

There is not a doubt in my mind that a overwhelming number of Republicans and more than a few “conservatives” would vote for this turd or Chris Christie in a heart beat if he were the Republican nominee and the Party told them too.

It’s the Dems pushing this crap. They’re going to pose as Republicans online pushing every candidate imagineable to split the ite while they all get behind one. Sorry Dems but we’ve figured out your divide and conquer Alinskyte BS tactics...

You guys are such linear thinkers. We need the republican fan boys here to lecture us on why the GOPe candidate is WAY better than the dem opponent. Since they haven’t yet shown up let me give it a go:

The GOP fan boys will tell us their man isn’t nearly as bad as the lefts radical. Notice the argument is about degrees of bad. The GOPe guy won’t be as evil and won’t spend as much and will only use the fed COPs on our enemies. The GOPe guy will be our kind of despot b/c we’re an ideological happy family. We like a little tyranny when it benefits us.

So, you guys need to line up behind the GOPe despot and be good with it...got it?!? :)
