Denver Post: GOP Elites Support Jeb Bush

30 Mar 2014 17:10 #1 by FredHayek
The typical big money GOP guys are starting to get behnd W's brother since Christie's Bridgegate. Think America would support another Bush? And if America is tired of political legacies why does Hilary get a pass?

America isn't tired of all political legacies, just the ones involving bad or mediocre presidents. Bill is an asset for Hillary, not a liability (except for those republicans who thrived during the Clinton years, but still won't admit he was good for America)

Oh, I HOPE the GoTP runs Bush...or Mike Huckabee...or Rand Paul...or Rick Santorum...or ....

The nuttier the better. The more right-wing wacko the better... I hope they keep fishing around until they find someone extreme enough to satisfy the teabaggers...

"Madame President" has such a nice ring to it... :biggrin:

Jeb is running to the center right now, supporting Common Core in public appearances with Hilary Clinton.

Nope.

Because she's a woman. A certain percentage of people will vote for her just because of her gender just like many voted for 0 because he is black (well, mixed race). If the past 2 elections have taught me one thing, it is that integrity, experience, and leadership qualities are no match for style and oratorship.

:YeahThat:

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

I think we can add that statement to the 1001 reasons republicans give for why they lose national elections. It couldn't possibly be that the tea party has drug the party too far right and the religious fanatics have hijacked the platform for their own purposes. But hey, it's all good for the democrats (.and the country)

Archer, there are many more Republican governors than Dem. Think the Tea Party is only a regional party? If they are only regional, it is a large region, including traditional Blue states like Wisconsin.

In 2008 and 2012, the GOP chose moderates, some might even call McCain a liberal on certain issues like amnesty.
Will the Republicans choose another moderate like Christie or Jeb? Or Rand Paul? A man who doesn't seem to have the ties to the military industrial complex and Wall Street like Obama, Hilary Clinton, and the Bush party.

So if the Republicans take the Senate (or come very close), how will you explain your theory? Will you blame it on the voters or will you blame it on failed liberal policies? I already know your answer because I have psychic abilities.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Right, Archer. Because the country is in soooo much better shape since 0 took office.

Nearly 50 million people on food stamps
High unemployment
Massive debt

Yeah,... good for the country.
