Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, prospective 2016 candidate, is already moving to the right in an attempt to garner more support from the conservative base. Speaking with Time magazine, he was asked, “Is there a center? And if so, can it hold?” Jeb Bush answered:
Yeah, there is a center. We’re a part of it if you call it a center. I’m getting nervous to be called a centrist. Breaking out in a rash. I’ve been accused of that now three or four times today. I’m pretty damn conservative to be honest with you.
Of course, he then followed up that slightly delusional self-assessment with this blatantly unconservative statement on the education system:
There are people on the right who are fearful of federal encroachment. That fear, I don’t think is justified, although there is enough history behind federal encroachment for everybody to be diligent.
No federal encroachment into education? George W. Bush’s No Child Left Behind program actually threatened the success of Florida’s education policy. As Matthew Ladner of the Heritage Foundation wrote back in 2009, “While the federal government provides only 9 percent of the funding for public education, NCLB greatly expanded its policymaking authority by overseeing education governance at the state and local levels …. Researchers have reported a pattern whereby states lower passing thresholds and otherwise ‘dumb down’ assessments to boost proficiency scores and avoid federal sanctions under NCLB.”

We should take all of the Kennedy's and Bush's out and shoot them. The Clinton's too.
Otherwise, we are going to keep getting stuck with the same buffoons over and over again.

Shit...
He wouldn't know what a conservative was, if one came up, got out of the car, and bitch-slapped his candy ass...
What a fucking joke the whole family is...
The only thing more lame, is that every know-nothing, neo-CONNED dimwit shit-head is gonna' glom on to this turd-in-the-punchbowl, proclaim him as "electable," and put him up as the next retard to get slapped down by a real socialist (as compared to the neocon sock-pupppet "socialist-lite).
I am so SICK of this shit...

I don't think he understands the true meaning of being a conservative.
Somebody should explain to him that it doesn't mean you try to conserve the illegally-obtained wealth of your family,OR their connections to corrupt political leaders all over the world.

If that's historically a valid tradition then by golly it sure must be worth conserving...thereby making those who conserve the tradition..... conservatives.
And one of the ultimate and oldest of US conservative traditions is slavery, soon to make a comeback in a country near you.

That's just the beginning, you have to go all the way back to where the money originates and cut off the head of the snake there!!
