Is Jeb Bush too reasonable for Republicans?
The Los Angeles Times ^ | April 28, 2015 | Doyle McManus

For a Republican who once called himself a "head-banging conservative," Jeb Bush has said some surprisingly nice things about President Obama lately..

He endorsed Obama's proposed trade deal with Asia. He praised Obama's tough policies on terrorism, including the National Security Agency's collection of bulk data. He called on balky Republicans in Congress to confirm Obama's new attorney general, Loretta Lynch. He even applauded Obama for tightening sanctions on Iran, although he also criticized the president for making concessions in nuclear negotiations.

"I'm not a big Obama fan, but when he does something right, we need to give him credit," he told an audience in Denver....

If he’s nominated, I’m out. Will still vote down ticket, but won’t vote for hillary lite.

This is something Jeb and I agree on:

"I'm not a big Obama fan, but when he does something right, we need to give him credit"

Though, unlike Jeb, I'm still waiting for Obama to do something right.

Yes, that’s it. I wanted Jeb for my President.

- I secretly wish we had a royal family
- I want a President who understands and lives the Mushy Middle
- I don’t need a courageous leader; someone who can hold up a wet finger is fine
- I like the media to just choose someone
- all I care about my candidate is that he has raised a ton of money from weird sources
- I like people who pretend to be minorities

But then I thought, No. Jeb Bush is just too damn reasonable. Next!

The L.A. Times is still printed in English?


Yes, and nobody can read it, and it’s dying.

Why does the left always get to define “reasonable”?

Actually, with all the trouble Hillary is having, Jeb would have a good chance of taking the nomination away from her.

Ah, the new definition of liberal = reasonable. They tried liberal, then progressive, now it’s reasonable. Funny how people always sound more reasonable to me when they agree with me! Shocking!

Phony is a qualifier. Watch out, the Dems will accuse you of a war on adjectives. As qualifiers go, head-banging is a pretty good one.
