Pro-Amnesty, Pro-Gay Marriage, Pro-Abortion Donors Fueling Jeb Bush's Fundraising
http://www.breitbart.com ^ | February 26, 2015 | Tony Lee

Pro-amnesty, Pro-gay marriage, and pro-abortion donors are powering former Florida Governor Jeb Bush’s fundraising operation.

Bush, who is reportedly aiming to raise $100 million before he formally enters the race, will not give a speech at CPAC on Friday and instead participate in a question and answer session with Fox News host Sean Hannity.

“All too often we’re associated with being ‘anti’ everything,” Bush lectured CPAC in 2013. “Way too many people believe Republicans are anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-science, anti-gay, anti-worker, and the list goes on.”

Bush is attracting plenty of donors and staffers who wholeheartedly agree with him on the GOP’s “problems.”

The former Florida governor, who has said that illegal immigration is an “act of love” and declared that he was “willing to lose the primary to win the general” presumably without conservative voters, has vowed to be his own man and not be tethered to the views of his political team or his brother, former President George W. Bush.

But money talks. And as conservatives like Richard Viguerie and Morton Blackwell have always said: personnel is policy. Though Bush’s father, George H.W. Bush, tried to bring in as many establishment Republican staffers as he could, Reagan’s brand of “bold” conservatism succeeded because of Reagan’s conservative lieutenants. Like father, like son, Bush seems intent on surrounding himself with advisers who care more about their standing in the Beltway and what the permanent political and media establishments think of them than conservatives.

Republicans told the left-wing BuzzFeed that Bush may be evolving on the gay marriage issue, and there is nothing but upside in his evolution when it comes to fundraising.

KEYWORDS: abortion; amnesty; bush; homosexualagenda
"Bush has hired Tim Miller, a star communications and research operative who is gay; longtime aide Sally Bradshaw, whose support for her pro-gay preacher recently showed up in a New York Times profile; and Mike Murphy, the veteran GOP consultant who joined other prominent Republicans in signing a 2013 brief calling on the Supreme Court to overturn California’s same-sex marriage ban, Proposition 8. What makes this band of operatives unique is not just that they support gay rights, but that many have made it their mission in the past to bring the party along with them".

This pasty faced gooey chinned bastard is determined to destroy whats left of this country.

Maybe he thinks there'll be a place for his privileged family in the America he's helping create. I do not think things will turn out the way this fool thinks they will.

.....and thus, Jeb has now fallen behind Marco among FLORIDA Republican voters according to a recent survey.

Little wonder.

Jeb Bush still has people contributing to his campaign? Weren’t there a number of drop-outs in his contributor list (some really BIG money guys), distrustful of his lackluster performance in the polls, that began looking around (none of them went to Scott Walker or Rick Perry, by the way), and thinking, “We can do BETTER than this”?

This sounds like it was written a while back ... But nothing has changed really since he DID enter the race. With a complete pro-democrat media frenzy that has not gone down. Until Bush actually runs against a democrat.

Then?

He will get killed.

There’s zero difference between Jeb Bush and the Obamanation. He’s just another demon indwelt minion of Satan.
