Romney to GOP donors: ‘I want to be president.’

[millergrovesue]

I will not vote for Cruz, Bush, Romney, Christie, Rubio or Perry.

Gonna be voting for Hillary are ya?

[Mark]

As long as we keep voting for squishy establishment candidates, we'll keep getting squishy establishment leadership.

as long as we sit it out or vote for 3rd part candidates we will get what we deserve Obama, Hilliary, and whatever liberal throwup they put out there

Please tell me all the major policy issues in which Jeb Bush differs from Hillary Clinton.

[GFB]

Issue Jeb. / Hillary
Abortion Pro-life / Pro-choice
Affirmative action Opposes quotas / Supports equal pay
Gay marriage Opposes / Previously opposed; now supports
School vouchers Supports along with Common Core / Opposes but charters ok
ObamaCare Repeal / Expand
Death penalty Supports / Opposes
Second Amendment rights Supports concealed carry / Ban assault weapons
Campaign finance reform No limits but full disclosure / Ban soft money

On 3 of those issues I'm with Hillary. On 1 I'm with neither.

Heh....Sue, didn't you take your political test to be allowed in here?

Nope not sure how Plano Steve got in...

Important thing is..it's absurd to imply they are similar..they are hugely different.

[grouchy]

Sir, do you truly consider them to be highly important issues.

[millergrovesue]

I think I was home sick that day.

Are you talking about the people or the issues, Greg?

Jeb and Hillary..someone asked a question that implied there was no difference between them.

[millergrovesue]

Just trying to get clarification. I agree with you that they have many opposing viewpoints. I certainly would never put them on the same side of the fence.

[BillB]

The problem is what Jeb says doesn't mean anything.
Was their anything in G.W Bush's campaign positions that predicted Medicare D? The largest farm subsidies in history? No Child Left Behind? TARP? An attempted wetback amnesty?
The Bush family is essentially Northeastern liberal Republicans. They are what we used to call Rockefeller Republicans. That's what they are. Nothing will change that.

[Red Oak]

They kind of people we really need in leadership, are the very ones that don't want to be in leadership.

[BillB]

They kind of people we really need in leadership, are the very ones that don't want to be in leadership.

I think it's because they know they can't win.
The average Republican is to the left of the 1970s Democrats.
A candidate has to have a big liberal streak to stand a chance.

[grouchy]

I would still love to see Condoleezza Rice run.

[Mark]

A candidate has to have a big liberal streak to stand a chance.

That's what the establishment would have you believe....but the clowns they keep serving up keep losing.

But they win the primaries. Conservatives don't / can't.

On the major policy issues, there is no difference.

Neither will push for the repeal of Obamacare.
Both support common core.
Both believe in amnesty for illegal aliens.
Both support Big Government spending.
Neither believes our national debt is a huge issue.
