Thread: Conservatives Move To Thwart Jeb

Conservatives Move To Thwart Jeb

Posted on December 1, 2014


We can’t afford to take any chances this time. We must nominate a true conservative.

Check it out:

Conservative leaders who had a hand in key Republican victories including Ronald Reagan’s presidency, the Contract with America and the birth of the Tea Party, are ganging up to oppose a Jeb Bush presidential bid, declaring him easier to beat than Bob Dole or John McCain.

“I don’t know of any conservatives who are supporting him,” said Richard Viguerie, chairman of ConservativeHQ.com.

“Jeb is a very good moderate Democrat,” added top-rated talk radio host Mark Levin. “He’s very boring. He doesn’t elicit excitement and energy outside a very small circle of wealthy corporatists and GOP Beltway operatives. Time to move on.”

The criticism of Bush, a media darling and leading centrist GOP potential presidential candidate, took off when Phyllis Schlafly updated her 50-year-old conservative manifesto, A Choice Not an Echo, with a slap at Bush.

The criticism of Bush, a media darling and leading centrist GOP potential presidential candidate, took off when Phyllis Schlafly updated her 50-year-old conservative manifesto, A Choice Not an Echo, with a slap at Bush.

In her latest revision, provided to the Washington Examiner, she wrote: “Do you get the message that the media buildup for Jeb Bush has begun and that the 2016 Republican National Convention may nominate another establishment loser, the next one in line? But it doesn’t have to be.”

Many conservatives are critical of Bush’s support for Common Core educational standards and immigration reform.
But his biggest hurdle may be his last name.

“The objection so many Reaganites have to another Bush is because he is another Bush,” said Reagan biographer Craig Shirley. “He, too, has an alarming belief in centralized authority. From the standpoint of history, the Bush family got their start in 1980 opposing Reagan and Reaganism, as they continue to do today.”

“We just don’t trust him,” said Viguerie, who favors Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and Sens. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. “Conservatives are going to be very, very critical of Jeb, not only for the sins of the father and brother, but also for his own views.”

Nothing on that list of potentials that are exciting, either. NEXT!

Jeb is simply another progressive, what we need very bad at this time is a true patriot who loves America and willing to put the American worker first, difficult to find that because those who fund presidential races all have money in China and other slave labor countries.

Another simple fact is America will never be great again unless we regain our manufacturing base, you cannot have a middleclass unless you build the finest products in the world, it can't be done on fast food chains or government jobs.

There all talk no action it amazes me.... Now look at this one start to squirm, and he isn't a legal candidate for the Presidency, They are all the same...Lies and Lies and Lies and they don't follow the Constitution typically this one here :

Senator Cruz Tells Rich Donors He's Not Really "All That Conservative"

Written by Jack Kenny



In 2012, Mitt Romney was suspected of being a closet moderate. Indeed, while he was a candidate for U.S. senator of Massachusetts in 1994 and governor of the Bay State from 2003 to 2007, it was Romney's conservatism, if there was any, that was kept in the closet. So when he was seeking the GOP presidential nomination in 2008 and again in 2012, he had to assert, again and again, his conservative credentials. And in 2012, he declared, "I'm severely conservative."

But Ted Cruz? Not so much, it seems. The primary campaigns for president in 2016 are still not formally underway, though the White House hopefuls are surely jockeying for position — and money. But winning hearts and minds of GOP primary voters and appealing to the moneyed interests of the fat cat lobbyists are two distinctly different tasks. And while Cruz, the very junior freshman senator from Texas, continues to cultivate the image in public of a right-wing bomb thrower, in the boardroom he is a much tamer creature.

The New York Observer recently reported on a dinner in New York that the Princeton (and Harvard Law School) alumnus attended with some of the heavy hitters in the world of political campaign finance. At the Zionist Organization of America dinner, Cruz, known for his unwavering devotion to Israel, had a prominent speaking role, and the Tea Party favorite proved to be — "to the shock of some," the Observer noted — "rather well-spoken and engaging."

And who are these folks who were ultimately charmed by the usually tough-talking Cruz? Well, prominent attorney Alan Dershowitz was there, along with fundamentalist preacher John Hagee and Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus. The "fancy VIP pre-dinner" also drew Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, Bernstein Global Wealth Management's Jeff Wiesenfeld, public relations guru Ronn Torossian, and a number of rabbis.
Cruz, with an able sense of where the biggest money is, sat next to billionaire casino owner Sheldon Adelson during the dinner and met privately with the party's single biggest donor for two hours at the St. Regis Hotel the following morning. As the Observer also reported, Mort Zuckerman, the real estate developer and owner of the New York Daily News, hosted a lunch for Cruz before the Zionist backers' dinner.

As reported by the Observer, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach got down to political business during the lunch, telling Cruz: "You are arguably the strongest US Senator when it comes to Israel. But if you run, can you win? You're seen as a champion of the tea party. And the media tends to caricature."

"Historically, the media has had two caricatures of Republicans," Cruz replied. "We are either stupid or evil."

"Sometimes both!" another of the lunch guests suggested.

Cruz coolly assessed his media image and noted that the gatekeepers of conventional wisdom have made a habit of underestimating conservative Republicans.

"Reagan was stupid, according to the media," Cruz recalled. "George W. Bush, Dan Quayle, stupid. Nixon was evil, Cheney was evil. I sort of take it as a backhanded compliment that they've invented a new caricature for me — crazy. At the end of the day, that caricature doesn't trouble me because it's fundamentally false. The American people have a history of making up their own minds."

The goal is to thwart the media in the media. And for that you need the money, name exposure, and some significant primary wins to capture the nomination. Reagan is the example Cruz points to again and again. "If you look back, in October of 1980, the American people were told Reagan was a wild-eyed cowboy who's going to lead us into World War Three. People tuned in and watched the debate and said, 'You know what? I agree with that guy.'"

Cruz has made his reputation as a conservative firebrand, so it must have surprised at least some of his potential sponsors to hear him say: "I don't think I'm all that conservative. And it's interesting. Reagan never once beat his chest and said 'I'm the most conservative guy who ever lived.' Reagan said, 'I'm defending common sense principles — small businesses, small towns.'"

Anyone running for president must appeal to a number of different constituencies, and Ted Cruz, when rubbing shoulders with the movers and shakers of Zionist Jewry, was surely aware he was not addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference. How much it would cost the United States in a Cruz administration, both in money and in future military conflicts, to be ardently pro-Israel and not "all that conservative"? We may yet find out.

In the meantime, Cruz is missing no opportunity to curry favor with pro-Israel voters and especially political donors. After Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel's resignation was announced, Cruz publicly urged Obama to name former U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman to succeed him. Lieberman, a Democrat and later Independent from Connecticut, is himself Jewish and, like Cruz, unfailingly pro-Israel. With Senators John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Lieberman was one of the "Three Amigos" of the Senate, unfailingly in favor of military interventions whenever and wherever the opportunity arose. All three were eager to go to war with Iraq, and McCain and Graham want more U.S. military action in the Middle East, against ISIS and possibly Iran. If Lieberman is not Obama's pick to take command at the Pentagon, he might well be President Cruz's, should Cruz make it that far.

Surely Cruz is doing everything he can to please Jewish and other pro-Israel voters and donors — and the builders and suppliers of the military industrial complex.

Senate Confirms Clueless Obama Donors for Ambassadorships

Corker: Obama and Reid 'prioritize doing political favors instead of working with Congress'

Two of President Barack Obama’s biggest fundraisers were confirmed by the Senate for ambassadorships on Tuesday morning in a move that Republicans say proves that the White House and Senate Democrats are prioritizing “political favors” over successful U.S. diplomacy.

Noah Bryson Mamet and Colleen Bell were confirmed by the Senate for ambassador positions in Argentina and Hungary, respectively.

Not a single Republican voted to confirm either Mamet or Bell, who required only a simple majority in the Senate for confirmation.

Critics say that neither are qualified for the diplomatic posts they were given. Mamet, for example, has never been to Argentina. Bell is a well-known producer most famous for her work on soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful, and was unable to name a single strategic interest that the United States has in Hungary.

Sen. Bob Corker (R., Tenn.), the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said that he is disappointed in the decision to prioritize political considerations over filling diplomatic posts with qualified professionals.

“It is disappointing that in a transparent move, the White House and the Senate Majority Leader have chosen to prioritize doing political favors instead of working with Congress to confirm professional diplomats, further delaying our ability to fill important positions around the world,” said Corker in a statement.
