Is anyone here supporting or knows anyone supporting Jeb Bush??

Nope. I don't know anyone who does. Nor have noticed anyone on the net or irl that supports him as of current. Would be in favor the polls are fudged. Though it does look like earlier polls-2014 before these other candidates decided to run might be conflicting with current polls.

IMO Jeb Bush needs a political home. Today the GOP who is controlled by nutters like Ted Cruz. Nixon , Ford and Reagan the man the Republican Party has mythologised would all be made most unwelcome today. Nixon and Ford would be considered to Liberal. They would want to expel Reagan for be willing to slice deals with the democrats in Congress.

A small majority in the GOP has convinced itself that a percentage of people who don't vote will do so if they run a sufficiently right wing candidate . Labour tried this logic at the last NZ General Election. There drift to the political left was rewarded by there worst election result since the 1920's.

On a conspiracy website where conservative conspiracies are currently the name of the game, I'd say your chances of finding a supporter of the most moderate Conservative candidate aren't very good.

I liked and voted for Jeb as governor. I am an indie so I do not get to vote in primaries so I support nobody in particular at the moment. Out of the GOP Jeb would be my choice he seems at least to be sane.

The fact your encouraging a dynastic reign doesn't worry you?

Or the fact he is from a family of war profiteers?

Or the fact his family have cause a chain of wars?

Or were in charge at the start of the biggest financial collapse since 1929?


Surely the Bush family should never be put in charge of a post office let alone the WH!

Dont be a stupid bunny!

You can only vote for Rep or Dem and only then only for approve candidates!


Anyone would think you feel entitled to have meaningful vote! The cheek of it!



BTW I got you tactic Breezer. Block Hillary so even if you don't get your first choice come next year and a dem wins at least you wont have to put up with her.

Wouldn't it be easier for your guy just to win on his/her plan for the country?

Yeah, I suppose we should just stay in our "group" and not interfere with another "group".

We should just keep our voting and our ideas segregated.

I am opposed to Jeb only for one basic reason: it is a dangerous precedent to set for our country.

It's been there since the beginning.

Adams,Roosevelt's,Kenndy's, Clinton's,Bush's.

Of course 'someone' had other plans for the Kennedy's.

True but disturbing nonetheless.

However, this time is a little different.

The two families are very very close friends.
Which makes this even more dangerous and potentially
entrenched as the families team up in "friendly rivalries"
while maintaining control of the country.

Ideas are great. My point. Ideas for the country. So you vote strategically instead of what the plan is. Just trying to understand this kind of voting process.

We only get one vote (unless you're a poll worker for the DNC).

So I want to use that vote where it'll be the most effective.

I'm not surprised that people may have an issue with that.

That's why I'm voting for Sanders in the primaries here. I had to register as a democrat to do it!

Who I vote for in the general election??

Dunno yet.

Man, you're going to regret the absolute crap outa registering with any party......you'll be hounded by every form of electronic and telephonic media apparatus you own for, of all things....MONEY! They NEED MONEY; give'em MORE MONEY NOW.

That's why I never vote in the Primaries.

No, the crappy thing is having to REGISTER with a party in order to vote in the primary. That's just shady.

Georgia is NOT like that, thank god. They just ask if you want a D or R ballot.

Btw, awesome story about Crazy Carla and Wheezy. Funny as hell.

Thanks.

Whats wrong with voting strategically? I've done it plenty of times.

Sometimes, I'd rather vote *against* one candidate, rather than *for* his/her opponent, especially when I see that one of those candidates would be an absolute disaster.

Some people are so trained to vote along party lines, to support party line platforms that to vote outside of what they are told is uncomfortable and alien to them.

There are people that don't look beyond the little letter after a name to vote.

The idea of looking at the issue, the other candidates is so foreign to them, that it's really a shining example of how social engineering has succeeded.

a reply to: beezzer

In my state you don't have to register with either party. The top two wins. But, thank you for the awakening.
