Jeb Bush: Obama won reelection
by ‘dividing the country’

Washington Post, by Sean Sullivan

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 3/10/2013 11:22:45 AM

President Obama won a second term in the White House in part by “dividing the country,” former Florida governor Jeb Bush (R) said in an interview that aired on Sunday morning. “I think the basic part of his campaign was that those that were successful weren’t paying their fair share, even though we have incredibly high taxes for high income Americans,” Bush said on CBS News’ “Face The Nation.” “I think he ran a campaign of them and us. And it was quite effective, that somehow the Republicans don’t care about the large number of people.”

This, after Bush loyalists procured the nomination for a severe conservative by dividing the party.

There is nothing Bush Rove loyalists can offer in the form of a solution.

That is, as long as the dancing, pawning, singing and gator-killin´ teevee shows continue to hip-mo-tize the masses.

For the unabashed ignorant on the tread, Bush is an economic conservative, social conservative and law and order conservative. He never forced young girls to take a vaccine for HPV.

# 11 Karl Rove was not an advisor to Romney.
His two PACs American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS are legally forbidden from coordinating with campaigns.
The Crossroads ads were some of the hardest hitting and well done against Obama and other Democrats.
Crossroads always took the gloves off , their advertising shop was superb.
Rove 100% supported all the Republican candidates running-except Akin in 12 and O´Donnell in 10.
Not a single candidate told Rove to stop running ads against their opponent.
The trashing of Rove is nonsensical and ignorant,
especially since his two PACS
spent almost 200 million in 2012 and 33 million in 2010
supporting Republicans ,
including Tea Party candidates.
But, somehow he´s the bad guy because the candidates couldn´t convince the voters to support them.
While there was no doubt vote chicanery ,
it cannot account for the million more votes
Democrat House candidates
received nationally and the 4.9 million
more votes Obama received.
Romney had a bigger Republican vote tally than McCain, but, it just wasn´t enough.
Blaming Rove and Jeb Bush because the country has shifted away from the Tea Party and Republicans
is ignoring reality.
To paraphrase Sally Field-they just don´t like us, anymore.
We lost 8 House seats , the Democrats
increased their Senate margin to
a 10 seat majority and Obama was re elected.
Pelosi is just 17 seats away from retaking the Speakership in 2014. A better message and better candidates
is the only way to stop that nightmare from happening.

Jeb seems like a nice enough guy and I bet he´d make a good neighbor. However, having seen him on Fox this a.m., I know he´s just another moderate who thinks that compromise is king. It´s hard to believe how many people seem to forget that the left in this country has already pushed real Americans who love this country and its founding principles to the point where there is no longer any middle ground on which to stand. The GOP may well ignore this at its own peril and perhaps its demise. Both outcomes may be difficult for this country to survive. It seems we don´t have much time to turn this thing around and a third party may take shape too late. We´ll see.......

If the Republican (Stupid) Party ever goes along with any sort of liberal Democrat amnesty for 11-20 million illegal aliens including a special path to citizenship, the Republicans will be committing long-term political suicide. As some years after such an amnesty the liberal Democrats will end up with 10 million or so new voters by way of their special path to citizenship, while the Republican share of the so-called Hispanic vote will increase from about 27% to about 32% and that is not a winning hand, no matter what Bush and other cheap labor Republicans are telling the country.

The GOP Establishment did their part by elevating a candidate whose religion, even though I have no personal objection to it, did influence some in the evangelical wing to sit this one out. It did its best to marginalize and sideline the Tea Partiers, a few of whom also sat it out, but most voted anyway for the sake of the country and their children. It torpedoed primary candidates who might have had a broader appeal and who might not have perpetuated the "party of the rich" stereotype, which the Dems exploited to keep some blue collar workers from voting GOP. The Establishment will now propel Jeb for 2016.

No thanks.

Romney lost for a variety of reasons that in the aggregate sunk his candidacy; there is no single bullet that did the job. To look for one is useless.

Jeb, how can I politely say this? If you get the nomination, there is no way in hell that I´m going to vote for you. I bought the establishment BS in November and we got Zippy for another 4 years.

I fully expect you to engage in Rovian scorched earth tactics in the primaries which will wound or eliminate any challenger, but will go to further weaken whatever ability some of the voters will have to hold their noses and pull the lever for you.

If you want Hillary in 2016, then go ahead and do what many of us expect you will do- but I won´t be voting for anyone, except maybe Mickey Mouse as a write-in if you do.

Although the country IS divided, Jeb, the election was lost due to a divided Republican Party. Your father sowed the seeds with his kinder, gentler America and subsequent tax increases. Your brother then exacerbated the situation with his prescription drug program and desire for amnesty. In less than 20 years, your family is largely responsible for the mess we´re in today. We do not need any more Clintons OR Bushes!

This country has been divided for years; it did not start with the 2012 election and Jeb Bush is talking through his hat. One reason is a very partisan Republican Party, many of whose followers have shown tremendous disrespect for a Democratic President.

Writing in the blog The Review, J.P. Freire performs a devastating examination of how the Associated Press eulogized former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on Monday versus how the news service examined the legacy of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez upon his death. What Freire found was an evident sense of admiration for Chavez’s accomplishments as the Latin American state’s autocratic leader, but a distinct lack of respect for Thatcher’s achievements in office. “Love her or loathe her, one thing’s beyond dispute: Margaret Thatcher transformed Britain,” AP opened the former U.K. prime minister’s obituary on Monday.

Is ObamaCare the reform to end all other reforms? The massive health care law´s problems are well known. Major tax hikes and Medicare cuts will fund a massive new government program, rather than shore up the nation´s finances. ObamaCare already is encouraging companies to cut jobs and work hours. With the administration delaying the insurance exchanges that might help small businesses until 2015, even ObamaCare cheerleaders are growing worried. And the law will leave tens of millions of Americans without health coverage. That´s the best-case scenario,

Even as Congress prepares to debate whether to legalize 11 million illegal immigrants and give them a path to citizenship, analysts are cautioning lawmakers to focus on the other part of immigration: assimilating them fully into America. All sides in the debate agree that assimilation is critical, but in a report being released Monday, the Hudson Institute, a conservative-leaning think tank, says the country has failed on that account in recent years. They found that immigrants — even those who earn U.S. citizenship — have far less attachment to their new home than native-born Americans.

President Obama lives at a time when there are two very different and very well-defined political ideologies. On the one hand, the GOP is fighting for spending contraints, limited regulation, and more personal economic choice. President Obama and his party are more determined than any administration in U.S. history to promote and execute the idea that federal government is best suited to both meet the needs of the people and run the economy. The most fascinating aspect of this yin and yang pull of ideologies is not just that they are taking place at this time in history,

WASHINGTON— President Barack Obama supports requiring girls younger than 17 to see a doctor before buying the morning-after pill. But fighting that battle in court comes with its own set of risks. A federal judge in New York on Friday ordered the Food and Drug Administration to lift age restrictions on the sale of emergency contraception, ending the requirement that buyers show proof they’re 17 or older if they want to buy it without a prescription. The ruling accused the Obama administration in no uncertain terms of letting the president’s pending re-election cloud its judgment when it

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
