Ha! So I guess he did not pass Carnival Cruzās call for a Conservative litmus test! Itās fun to watch the 2016 clown car entries try their darnedest to pander to a packed house of rubes and n00bs!
OXON HILL, Md. (AP) ā Republicans must not let themselves be tricked into picking a moderate presidential nominee in 2016, by demanding their hopefuls have a demonstrated commitment to conservatism, Sen. Ted Cruz told an enthusiastic audience Thursday.
Cruz, himself a likely presidential candidate, warned activists gathered at the Conservative Political Action Conference near Washington that voters who pick the GOP nominee are likely to hear a similar pitch: āYou betcha. Who-diddley. Iām as conservative as all get out.ā But, without naming names, he suggested that many of those likely candidates lacked the record to back it up.
CPAC is such a fun event for the tin foil hat crowdā¦Senator Jim Inhofe R-Conoco Phillips tosses snowballs in his celebration of Global Weather Change, TheDick and Rummie relieve their days of strangling puppies at the prayer breakfasts, Sarah Palin serves a lunch of word salad, and Carnival Cruz does everything he can to make it all about Carnival Cruz.

Ugh - did he REALLY think he was gonna get to the top of their list? JEB? Heās lucky they didnāt get out the tar and feathers. Hereās a hint, jebbers; this aināt your brotherās GOP.
Hannity threw Bush a bone later when he ticked off a list of
accomplishments on the former governorās record, noting that he āended
affirmative actionā and "privatized government jobs.
Huh. Thatās what passes for getting your base energized at Fantasyworld (a/k/a CPAC)

Jeb, the grandson of a senator, son of a CIA chief-UN Ambassador-Veep-President and brother of a president, and a former governor, doesnāt know how Washington works?
And heās the smart brother?

That story was an eye opener. He even suggested a SCOTUS nominee to GHWB. Cooler heads prevailed.

He doesnāt know how Washington works, he claims! Well, he damn sight better start doing some learninā ā¦ if heās serious, that is (which Iām getting a vibe he, himself, is thinking less and less of the idea). Jeb Bush is not a dumb man, not by a long shot. Unless heās playing dumb for the crowd right now so as to watch the others āFront Runnerā themselves then peter out then swoop in at the final minute and show he has some man pants ā¦ heād come up with serious answers, ones that may sound like hard-to-swallow medicine, not exactly what the crowd wants to hear but are real in that they give balanced, thoughtful responses to direct questions with look at the possible outcomes.
which he summed up as āgrowing the economic pie.ā
Mmmmmā¦pieā¦that grows.

āPerhaps in an effort to prove his conservative credentials on the immigration issue, he told Hannity he wants to achieve a solution in which immigrants ādonāt get government benefitsā and ālearn English.āā
LOLā¦ Wrong answer, Jebba Jabba. Let me help you with what they wanted to hear:
āā¦he wants to achieve a solution in which immigrants ādonāt get government benefitsā because āwe only allow white, wealthy people to immigrate here and become citizens.āā
āWashington? Why, I didnāt even know such a place really existed! I thought I was in Narnia!ā - Jeb Bush, The Smart One

Hmm, that sounds suspiciously like redistributing wealth which isā¦SOCIALISM!!!
Unless, of course, they do it.
Yeah, but I think Barbara STILL has bigger balls than Jeb. But the same vindictive, sociopathic personality.

He said that many Americans ādonāt know that theyāre conservativeā yet
and that the GOP had the policies to attract Latinos and young voters.
Two demographic groups that he will not be getting majorities with. And I donāt care how many times he drags his wife and the little brown ones out on the stage to prove it.
