Jeb to Iowans: ‘Nothing In My Record’ Suggests I’m a Moderate
Breitbart.com ^ | 6 March 2015 | Tony Lee

Though some may think Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush’s positions on amnesty and Common Core make him a liberal, Bush claimed to Iowans on Friday that there is “nothing” in his record that would suggest that he is a moderate.

In an interview with Radio Iowa’s O. Kay Henderson before boarding his plane to travel to Iowa, Bush, who has declared that illegal immigration is an “act of love,” touted his record of reform while he was governor. But he never mentioned that he also supported granting in-state tuition to DREAMers and driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants as Florida’s governor. Bush did not regret having done so at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

“I cut taxes every year, totaling $19 billion in eight years. I reduced the state government’s workforce by 13,000. I eliminated Affirmative Action as a policy in our admissions and procurement and replaced it with a system that did not discriminate but yielded better results for African-Americans and Hispanics,” Bush said, selling himself as a strong conservative. “We created the first statewide voucher program in the United States. We had the greatest gains in learning of any state for a period of time and we’re still one on the national leaders.”

When Henderson asked Bush about conservative voters believing he was too “moderate,” Bush mentioned that he “took on the trial bar, the teacher’s union.”

“You know, there’s nothing in my record that would suggest that I’m a moderate,” Bush said. “And it is a record of accomplishment and it’s certainly a conservative record in a purple state.”

Jeb has apparently looked very closely at the situation and, in spite of advise from John McCain, has decided he does need conservatives in order to win the nomination.

Fortunately, we have the internet for reference.

"Way too many people believe Republicans are anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-science, anti-gay, anti-worker," Bush said during his speech at the Ronald Reagan Dinner at the Conservative Political Action Conference in suburban Washington. "And the list goes on and on and on. Many voters are simply unwilling to choose our candidates even though they share our core beliefs because those voters feel unloved, unwanted and unwelcome in our party."

Any candidate that supports the foreign invasion of America is null and void to me.

Jeb is speaking the truth, he has simply ‘Recalibrated & Refreshed’ all those popular definitions of what being a Moderate looks like. So in his book (co-authored by Karl Rove), Jeb is far, far to the right.

Why is it the only people proudly running as conservatives are the RINO lefties?

Communist Core and Amnesty for Illegals is enough.

The RNC wants their amnesty candidate that they promised to the Cheap Labor Express.

Can’t wait for the typed beatings around here to vote for Jebster or you’re electing Hillary.

Follow the money.

Pro-amnesty donors, along with those who are pro-gay marriage and pro-abortion, have been fueling Bush’s fundraising efforts.

Three strikes Jebster...

Maybe the fact their is not enough evidence to prove you are a conservative.

How about the fact that you have to proclaim you are not a moderate.

Your record may prove you are not a moderate; but it does prove you are a Rino...there is very little if any evidence that you are nothing more than a member of the Bush Dynasty which you think makes you next in line to ascend to the Throne.

“Jeb to Iowans: ‘Nothing In My Record’ Suggests I’m a Moderate”

Yes, we know, Jeb. We already know that you are not a moderate!

You are a downright, lowdown NWO/UN Socialist!

Can you say, “Amnesty”?
