Republican Candidates seek the Bush Family’s blessing

Sometimes the Republican Party resembles the Old Soviet Communists. Up and coming party members seek the blessings of people like Andropov and other Politburo Members. For this year’s GOP nomination, the major candidates are trying to seek the blessings of the Bush clan.

For Republicans who want to be president, one of the most crucial primaries is well under way: the Bush primary.

Jon Huntsman, the former governor of Utah, spent Monday afternoon in Kennebunkport, Me., having lunch with the elder George Bush — the 41st president and one of the keys to earning the support of a vast network of political operatives, donors, surrogates and activists.

The private lunch with Mr. Huntsman was not an endorsement by Mr. Bush, who held a similar meeting several weeks ago with Tim Pawlenty, the former governor of Minnesota and now an official candidate for president. The elder Mr. Bush is also close to Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts.

But it’s a reminder that in Republican politics, the Bush family’s political operation remains an important piece of the puzzle for presidential hopefuls.

This is crazy! Are the Bush Family the GOP’s version of the Soviet Politburo? Papa Bush and Baby Bush were failures who damaged the Conservative movement. The Bush family is disliked by many voters including Conservative Independents. The Bushes cynically used social issues to cover up their liberal economic theories. Both Bushes presided over weak job creation and bad economies. Why on earth would any Republican want to associate with them? They both failed as Presidents!

The GOP needs to break with the Bush era (1988-2008) to prove they are serious about implementing a Conservative economic agenda. We need to go back to the only successful Republican of the last half century, Ronald Reagan. Republicans need to stay out the Bushes.

Boehner The Eunuch loves Pakistan

John Boehner is one of the many reasons I’m not a fan of the modern GOP. They have no common sense and they make stupid remarks. The Crybaby of the House says the US should maintain close ties with Pakistan! That’s right, the same nation that has been playing a double game with us, we should keep strong ties with.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration was investigating whether Pakistan knew Osama bin Laden was hiding deep inside the country as House Speaker John Boehner and top lawmakers insisted the U.S. maintain close ties with the sometimes reluctant ally in the war on terror.

The killing of Osama bin Laden at a compound just miles from Islamabad prompted furious questions about whether Pakistan was complicit in protecting the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks. Several Republicans and Democrats in Congress have raised the possibility of cutting off U.S. aid to Pakistan.

[….]

Amid the harsh criticism of Pakistan, Boehner and others said this was not the time to back away from Pakistan.

“I think we need more engagement, not less,” he said. “Al-Qaida and other extremist groups have made Pakistan a target. … Having a robust partnership with Pakistan is critical to breaking the back of al-Qaida and the rest of them.”

Read the rest.

This man is useless and I can’t stand him. The GOP should remove this useless Eunuch from the speaker-ship. Let him go cry somewhere else. Republicans need fighters and no Eunuchs like this loser. I will never understand the soft spot Rockefeller Republicans have for Islamic nations.

Progressive says Democrats should support Republicans against Trump

The GOP establishment and their media lapdogs are throwing everything they can at Trump. However, he gives as good as he gets and enjoys the combat. Many on the Left admit Trump beat Obama in the birth certificate debate. Many Republicans are in denial about Trump’s victory. In a sign that the Establishment Republicans are not that far apart from Democrats, a writer at the New Republic made an onbservation. He called for Democrats to support the Republican Establishment’s war on Donald Trump!

What Trump actually stands for is an exaggerated sense of victimhood. This is the theme that unites his personal style with the political views he has thus far expressed. Are you tired of being pushed around? Are you tired of our country being pushed around? Trump’s political acuity lies in his ability to take these grievances and turn them into politics. His foreign policy views in essence consist of a pledge to bully other nations. China is “decimating our country.” OPEC is imperiling the economy. And ungrateful Libyans and Iraqis are trying to build a society from oil that is rightfully ours. (“We won the war. We take over the oil fields. We use the oil.”) When Bill O’Reilly, in an interview with Trump, seemed taken aback by the idea that we could simply force OPEC or China to do our bidding, Trump appeared surprised that anyone could view international relations as anything more than a contest of machismo. “The messenger is the key,” Trump told O’Reilly. “If you have the right messenger and they know how to deliver the message … you’re going to scare them, absolutely.”

[….]

Donald Trump has appointed himself spokesman for some of the nastiest impulses in American politics, and he seems to have a following. The sooner the Republican mainstream rejects him, the better. And we liberals should be cheering them along as they do.

Amazing, this writer is calling for an alliance between Democrats and Republicans against Donald Trump! Why is he so dangerous? Why can’t he be treated like other candidates and let his ideas be accepted or rejected by voters? The GOP elites have gone after Trump way harder than they ever did against Obama. This shows the GOP elites are Progressives and political Eunuchs of the Democrats.

As a very dissatisfied Republican, I gave the Party a chance after the Bush debacle. During the Bush years, anyone who criticized Bush from the Right was called a traitor or Communist. I thought that dark era was over and the GOP finally would allow diverse views and be willing to fight the Left. Their actions after the 2010 elections and their treatment of Trump shows the GOP is a joke. I no longer feel as if my views fit in today’s GOP. I am really thinking of leaving the Party I grew up with and become an Independent Conservative who doesn’t care about politics. This is not the Party I grew up with under Reagan. It has become a Party obsessed with whom people sleep with, Morality, pays lip service to economic concerns but does nothing, grovel before the Left, kisses up to Arabs/Islamists, puts the interest of the Global economy, over the interest of Americans and believes in spreading Democracy at the point of a Gun. In short, I don’t feel as if I belong to the Republican Party or what is called the Modern Conservative movement. How the primaries play out will determine my final decision on membership inthe GOP.

Huckabee would support Jeb Bush

As I have stated, like the Bourbons, the Republicans have learned nothing and forgotten nothing. In the run up to the 2010 elections, the GOP acted like Conservatives, but since the election is over they are back to their old ways.

Former Arkansas governor and Progressive Republican, Mike Huckabee, said in an interview that should Jeb Bush run for office in 2012, he will sit out. Huckabee should sit out anyway since he’s a two face fake, but promoting Jeb Bush isn’t the solution. Jeb is a Liberal Republican and is a member of the Liberal Bush clan. His dad and brother governed as big government Rockefeller Republicans. They were pushed around by the Democrats and didn’t fight back. Jeb is cut from the same cloth and would be a disaster for the Republican Party and Conservative movement.

But he said he would stay out of the race if former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush were to run.

“I love Jeb, I think he’s brilliant,” Huckabee said. “He could certainly raise the money, and I think he’d clear the deck.” He also said there are a lot of capable, qualified possible candidates who “aren’t the obvious ones.”

Read it all: Obama ‘Amateurish,’ Jeb Bush ‘Brilliant’

The Bush family has a history of using the Conservative movement for their own means. They use social issues to cover up their Progressive Republican instincts. Jeb Bush would guarantee a second Obama term. The Bush family’s con games with Conservatives are over and Jeb Bush would go nowhere in a Primary.
