Jeb Bush: 'I'm not backing down' from immigration stance
Washington Examiner ^ | February 26, 2015 | Byron York

Posted on 02/27/2015 5:36:59 AM PST by C19fan

In perhaps his most campaign-style speech so far, not-yet-official GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush vowed Thursday not to alter his views on immigration despite intense opposition among some parts of the Republican base.

"If I go beyond the consideration of running, I'm not backing down from something that is a core belief," Bush told a gathering of the conservative Club for Growth in Florida. "Are we supposed to just cower because at the moment people are all upset about something? No way, no how."

Go taco yourself Jeb. We don’t need you.

How about opening up all your savings to pay for some of these illegals?
Put your cash where your mouth is, not my cash.

You posted exactly what I was going to say. Jeb old buddy, feel free to persue a policy of open borders for illegals and non enforcement of immigration laws. Equally, we will feel free to make sure you NEVER win the nomination.

Jebbie doesn’t dare back down on his pro-illegal, pro-amnesty stance.

Columba, his Mexican wife would use his guts for garters.

She’s the one that was caught trying to smuggle $20,000 worth of clothing and jewelry into the US from France back in 1999.

That is GOOD news.

He’s going to lose the primary on that alone. He’ll be eviscerated in debates.

With that attitude in another age and corrupt kingdom they would have handed his hereditary highness his head, literally.

Jeb Bush awards Hillary Defender of Liberty Medal on eve of Benghazi anniversary

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) will honor former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with this year’s Liberty Medal from the National Constitution Center.

The award will be presented to Clinton on September 10th, the eve of the first anniversary of the terrorist attack on the United States mission in Benghazi that killed four American.

The Christian Science Monitor reports that Bush, a potential GOP contender in the 2016 presidential race, is chairman of the board of trustees of the National Constitution Center located in Philadelphia.

“Former Secretary Clinton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracy,” Bush said in a statement. “These efforts as a citizen, an activist, and a leader have earned Secretary Clinton this year’s Defender of Liberty Medal.”

==============================================

Bush’s decision to honor Clinton, who is considered by some to be a likely Democrat candidate for president in 2016, was condemned by the Independence Hall Tea Party Association of Philadelphia. According to the Christian Science Monitor, the organization released its own statement Monday, referring to the event as “extremely distressing,” and offering, instead, an opportunity for another Liberty Medal recipient.

According to the statement: As all of you undoubtedly know, much of the blame for the Obama Administration’s failure to contain the Benghazi attack and the scandalous handling of its aftermath, can be traced directly to Ms. Clinton.

Indeed, a Congressional investigation regarding Ms. Clinton’s role in the cover-up of the Administration’s failure is still ongoing.

=====================================================

A newly formed organization, the Independence Hall Foundation, will hold a “What Difference Does It Make” press conference on Independence Mall, September 10, 4 PM, to denounce the selection of Ms. Clinton as the 2013 Liberty Medal recipient and to offer an alternative award (details below). During the conference, the Foundation will name its choice of recipient(s) for the 2013 Defender of Liberty Medal. Dom Giordano will headline the presser and we certainly hope you will consider joining us. (SOURCE: BREITBART.COM 9/9/13)
