FORMER FLORIDA GOVERNOR ENJOYS DOUBLE-DIGIT LEAD OVER GOP FIELD
By FITSNEWS || Want “More Bush?” We don’t … but it appears plenty of “Republican” voters across the country do, which should make the job of the special interests pushing his candidacy that much easier.
Bush recorded 23 percent support amongst GOP voters according to the results of a new CNN/ORC poll conducted last week – days after the former Florida governor signaled he was actively exploring a 2016 presidential bid.
That puts Bush 10 points ahead of fellow establishment “Republican” Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey (who finished second with 13 percent support), and 16 points ahead of physician and author Ben Carson (who finished third with 7 percent support).
CNN’s poll has U.S. Sen. Rand Paul – a favorite of limited government “Republicans” – polling at six percent, tied with social conservative Mike Huckabee.
“Bush’s 10-point lead is a milestone for the potential GOP field — it marks the first time any prospective candidate has reached a lead beyond a poll’s margin of error in the past two years,” CNN’s Alexandra Jaffe reported.
Based on those results, Jaffe labeled Bush the “clear Republican presidential frontrunner.”
Is he, though?
Well, “yes.”
Ordinarily, we’d be tempted to dismiss Bush’s early blitzkrieg in the polls as a “flavor of the month” thing – or as a bounce from his announcement earlier this month. And that could wind up being the case. But given the level of establishment support that’s already coalescing around Bush – and the deep pockets those supporters are ready, willing and able to empty on his behalf – it’s clear his candidacy isn’t a fad.
Now … is Bush the GOP’s best bet from an electability standpoint? No … and that’s before we even get to his family baggage.
But for now, it’s his race to lose …
For those of you keeping score at home, the CNN/ORC poll sampled 453 “Republicans” and “Republican” leaners from December 18-21 via land line and cell phone. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.

No.
Just no.
Awwww HELL NO!
You’ll be voting your USUAL Republican ticket.
What difference does it make whose name is at the top?
TBG has voted for the Libertarian Party’s POTUS candidate in every election since he has been of age to vote (beginning in 1984), except for 2008 when he didn’t vote at all.
How’s that working out?
Much the same as it’s working out for you, TBG’d guess…unless you get some kind of prize (that TBG doesn’t know about) for voting for the winner.
Whatever you say.
Basically, you’re simply a Republican ala Fits who gets pissed at them occassionally and then pretends to be some kind of “libertarian.”
That’s why I do enjoy Republican follies!
You guys spend so much time arguing(unsuccessfully) that you are not what you obviouly are!
Ross Perot for head lizard!
I heard that!!!
Funny thing is that I supported Perot by signing the petition and sending him campaign money till he went nucking futs on national TV………………..
Poor Perot was on the receiving end of some very dirty shit from Bush Sr…..the whole fake “I have pics of your daughter naked and I’ll publicize them unless you drop out” thing shows how disgusting politics in general is.
Despite his quirky nature, if you go back and listen to his talking points he wasn’t wrong on too much.
So, you are ZERO and???
Have a better option?
Why not? He’s by far the smartest and most capable of all the other options the Repiblicans have put up on the last 14 years. Which is a problem when your party has been building one of the dumbest voter bases the country’s ever known. Plus, he’s a fucking Bush for Christ’s sake.
He’s for common core, immigration reform, less regulation on Wall Street, marriage equality, Obamacare… Hey, this sounds awful familiar?
Yup … All of the Tea Parties are agin’ that stuff. … So?
Karl Rove is behind all of this pumping and pimping of the Bushies.
He’s for common core, immigration reform, less regulation on Wall Street, marriage equality, Obamacare…
“Stay the course…a thousand points of light…”
As it turned out, the thousand points of light were airholes in his economic policy The Bushes have proven that you can be honorable, brave, and honest, and still fuck up your country, economically.
“… the last 14 years …”
Yup … And the Bushies are notorious for lying in just about every election cycle, just as every democrat has and will. “Read my lips …”.
Bush has NO chance of being elected.
Sounds awfully familiar, where have I heard that before?
“Romney had NO chance of being elected until Obama destroyed the Democrat Party.”
the troll from suckville just changed his name from grand t to troll..ahhh i mean flip as he knew after years of not being correct on one single dam election prediction he had better change name..makes him feel like he has friends..
That’s Crapville – and don’t forget it. In Crapville, when you’re down on your luck, they force you to sleep behind Wal Mart. In Crapville, all the old people complain about how their Social Security is being stolen by illegal aliens. In Crapville, all the bars are tuned to FoxNews instead of football. In Crapville, everyone who doesn’t wear a flag on their lapel is called a Marxist.
Yeah. Republicans can’t match that ‘voter’ base of abortion loving marxists ,illegals, cop haters, ISIS supporters and generational welfare recipients in the Democrat Party.
That is why the Republican Party has ‘only’ picked-up 11 senate seats, 75 house seats, 9 governorship’s and 1500 state legislature seats since Vladimir Obama/Castro was anointed czar. :-)
Another police assassination attack unfolded in June. Claiming to be acting under the bloody “banner of Liberty and Truth,” Jerad Miller and his wife Amanda entered a restaurant Las Vegas executed two local policemen while they at lunch.
As bullets flew, one of the shooters reportedly shouted that the “revolution” had begun. The killers then stripped the officers of their weapons and ammunition and badges, and covered them with cloth that featured the “Don’t tread on me” Gadsden flag, which has recently been adopted as a symbol of the tea party movement.
Six days earlier, the shooters had posted a manifesto on Facebook where he announced “we must prepare for war.” Jerad Miller, who traveled to Cliven Bundy’s Nevada ranch this spring to join the militia protests against the federal government, declared: “To stop this oppression, I fear, can only be accomplished with bloodshed.”
Now go fuck yourself and stop being an ignorant Fox News viewer. Gotta love the big paintbrush. Now, go find a Republican that can beat Clinton.
Amanda and Jerad Miller also liked to dressed up as Batman villains.
They both voted for Obama.
imagination is your friend little troll..glad to see you are using it..if you had used your other obsession..anal sex..combined with the usual Obama you would have scored an extra troll point…ahhh little troll..try harder. We know you can do.
Any of them will defeat Clinton.
CUrrently Clinton outpolls Bush by 11 points. He’s the closest in losing to Madam Secretary.
Just like the dems were going to hold the senate and pick-up house seats and governorships on November 4th, according to the polls.
Dream on Coscoe – maybe you should change your name to WIC. Hey, Obamacare sign-ups are going strong.
nobody and i mean nobody predicted they would hold the senate..(unlike you predicting..deep breath..Perry, Bachman, Gingrich, Romney etc..all of which, every single one was wrong but i digress..but please little troll..keep on trolling..i know it makes you feel like you have friends so please..continue trolling from suckville.
No, to his or her credit, I once said they would hold the Senate and win back some House seats – assumed Hispanics in CA and TX would hold the line. Guess should have done the EO earlier.
Cliven Bundy is a saint! Who cares if he’s mooched off gubmint for years and years and refused to pay the same fees everyone else has to pay?
At least he isn’t *GASP* selling untaxed cigarettes!!
Sounds like Cliven might be a Democrat.
Cliven Bundy, is he Al’s brother?
You forgot educated.
Dec 2010 – Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee were widely considered to be a front-runners for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination including Solon, Politico, and the Daily Caller.
Hello America!
Lol! He’s more Liberal than Obama.
Bush is pro-life and pro-traditional marriage.He may not be my top choice however he is NOT (like Obama,Clinton, Warren) an advocate of killing the unborn children and perverted marriage.
However, if you want to support killing young Americans by having them stand around foreign capitals waiting on an IED explosion (4,500 in Iraq) – he’s all for that. He won’t do anything to reverse the courts on homo-happiness nor do anything to reduce abortions and access for women’s healthcare. He’ll keep Obamacare, expand it, and increase spending. But, Flip Coscoe doesn’t care, because Flip hates America, hate’s women’s rights and access to healthcare, hates Catholics and the Pope, and hate’s minorities. Flip wants a return to 1981. (And he hates his cell phone too.)
Flip don’t hate JESUS!!! :-)
Obamacare is gone-SCOTUS will end that debate.Love women-just hate they murder their own children (not a ISIS loving homo like you),love the church however the Pope may be a socialist and God created us all equal.
Illegals? All for em staying,working and paying taxes-N0 citizenship or voting-Obama’s E/O accomplished that.
Oh, so you’re happy about the E/O because it allows them to stay, work and pay taxes. I’ll let President Obama know you approve of his actions.
Rocky nailed it.
He will never make it through the primaries..he is just not crazy/religious/partisan enough.
Coming from an American hating,perverted bigot like you, that prediction carries a lot of weight.
He’ll never make it through the primaries because he’s pro-amnesty, pro-Common Core, pro-government.
Flip..you left out anal sex and Obama..you must be slipping. Im glad to see your partisan hatred made it through the holidays in suckville. Sorry i know my comment went way above your head but adult time so afraid you have to go back to trolling elsewhere..poor little troll..no respect and no visits on your tiny itty bitty blog..king of suckville for you i guess.

…meanwhile, a decaying cotton trailer overturns somewhere in South Carolina.
…meanwhile, there’s a Cadillac with a wheel in the ditch and a wheel on the track somewhere in Alabama.
This poll means nothing at this point.
Too much time and money between now and November of 2016.
But if the hangover from anti-Obama(and Democrats) continues into the next election, it will be interesting.
It will.Lower gas prices have softened ‘hangover’ during the holidays however Obama will continue on his mission to destroy America and it will remind voters why a vote for a Democrat is a vote for evil.
And tops on his list is Flip Coscoe.
It is an honor.
King troll..your momma must be so proud..go upstairs and ask er..i bet im right.
¡Viva Pancho Villa!
If Jeb is the candidate, Hillary wins. If any other republicrat is the candidate, Hillary loses.
There are supposedly many who oppose Jeb as the 2016 nominee. We are asking for you to simply visit and “like” this page. Jeb Bush has 127K followers on Facebook. We aim to surpass that number. Please help us reach that goal by liking and sharing this page.

See ya. You voted for Obama twice anyway.
This just shows how weak the Republican field is. A Bush is in first place.
I want to see Colbert do a “dueling banjos” bit with Jeb & Rove as ham loafs.
CNN poll …. please, don’t make me laugh! Nobody wants another Bush – PERIOD.
I used to think he was OK,but LOOK AT HIM;he’s gained 50 pounds just in his face…
We need a good looking president ,and everything will be OK
http://blog.lib.umn.edu/cspg/smartpolitics/images/tedstrickland10.jpg
LIndsey for President.
Establishment Republicans are a liberal hoax.
Told you – Jeb has been watching. Did anyone notice a certain Senator who is a snappy dresser started calling for the House and Senate to pass a comprehensive immigration amnesty bill as soon as possible this Spring, claiming without it the GOP will not win the White House? Here it comes conservatives – the RINO horn is angled and ready to go right up your a$$. Common Core got you lathered up? Better cool off, Jeb’s a huge Common Core advocate. Very funny, the leading GOP guy is pro-amnesty, married to a Mexican, advocates for Common Core, advocates for state funds to subsidize college education costs, is big Gubberment, big spending, high fee moderate Democrat. Did you stop to think that Clinton spelled backwards spells BUSH>
And, he’s Catholic, too.
Like the majority of the US supreme court. Based on what a slightly different team there did for his brother, Jeb could lose and win.
CNN isn’t any-wing media, it’s fucking tabloid news. At least with the new missing plane they’ll be covering something other than celebrity crap for once, though.
If the GOP doesn’t nominate someone who has a broader appeal than just the gun-totin’ snake chunkers, get used to saying “President Clinton”… again.
On the other hand, if they nominate anyone other than a gun-totin’ snake chunker and lose, they will never, ever learn that the gun-totin’ snake chunkers (Cruz, Santorum, Huckabee) or Libertarians (Paul) are just a tiny slice of America.
As long as they never have to face that, they will keep their ‘fever’ goin’ and the Republican Party can never regain its senses.
I understand your point, but you’d hope after the last two trips to the woodshed, the GOP will come up with a candidate who isn’t a right wing loony ideologue. The thought of Hillary in the White House is chilling, but not as much as Cruz.
I’m not sure you do get my point.
As long as the once GOP keeps running establishment candidates – their last two candidates were NOT right wing loony ideologues, though Mitt tried to be – and losing, the ‘base’ is able to blame the party for not running the true ‘conservatives’. And, if they had, they would have won…so they believe (I started to say ‘think’, but realized that was not what’s going on.)
Only when a right wing loony ideologue is run and loses on Barry Goldwater scale will the right wing loonies realize they are not the Silent Majority redux, but a pretty small minority.
Yeah, I get your point & don’t disagree except for the fact of the last election. Romney’s disingenuous attempts to be anything you wanted him to be should serve as the GOP’s wake-up call. If you wanted him to be a right wing loony ideologue, goodness knows he tried – ’til he had to explain the difference between his health care program in MA & Obamacare. Personally, I was never able to get beyond Seamus. And speaking of Goldwater, I’d have walked through the gates of hell with him. — not so much with anybody since.
Oddly, the GOP front-runner supports Obamacare, amnesty and Common Core. He’s also in the pocket of the Saudi’s who are trying to destroy Shale Oil in America and he’s a supporter of American dependence on foreign oil. Maybe Hillary will select him as her VP.
DId Marco even rate in this poll.
if it gives the T-partiers and other right-wingnuts a case of hemorrhoids then let him run!!!!
Not that I’ll vote for him necessairly…………….
It will be Bush vs. Clinton in 2016.
Bush because he has the most money and connections, and nominating another Bush would be the ultimate (in their view) nose thumbing to Democrats for the RWNJs. Bush is pro-amnesty and practically invented Common Core, but the RWNJs will overlook the fact that he is a RINO, due to ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome).
IT’S
BEEN A CONSPIRACY SINCE THE 1986 AMNESTY FROM BOTH POLITICALLY PARTIES.
The
American People just about had it with King Obama, his lot and the Republican
Elites?
Sadly, the GOP has lost all sense of responsibility and accountability, but is
not tied to the same brush as physical Conservatives and the National Tea
Party.
Perhaps they have succumbed to the backroom deals, unethical maneuvers and
devious manipulation not dissimilar to the liberals in Washington. Or, maybe they’re just
that stupid.
I don’t know, but I do know this. IGNORE THE
PEOPLE AT YOUR OWN PERIL.
We don’t care how many names we get
called, how many threats we get or how p*ssed off we make the GOP leaders, the
Leftists or anyone in Washington but…the Tea Party WILL continue to stand up
for what we believe in. Theirs the true voice, not the lies and rhetoric
administered by the Left and Ultra right wing media.
The Tea Party is your eyes, ears and your voice in Washington. We are growing by
leaps and bounds but we don’t have the deep pockets that Republicans and
Democrats have. But we keep on pulling through. We don’t have the backing of
big business, Industry, agricultural, service industries that make a killing on
illegal alien profit, nor the Democrats who get their pay off from unions,
socialist-Communistic donors as George Soros and the radical minority groups as
La Raza, that dips their hand in the till of government grants.
And we certainly don’t have big PAC money or the soiled money of the lobbyists
behind us.
All of the battles we fight every day drain it very quickly.
Average Americans donate to the spreading word of the Tea Party, as it is that
simple. And you cannot count on the GOP. They cave too easily. That’s why in 2015, I will be voting for
Doctor Ben Carson. This man has more commonsense, to put this nation on the
right track. There is no way as an Independent (before Democrat) that I would
vote for Jeb Bush.
The Tea Party is all you have. We are the true American Patriots who have not
succumbed to greed and temptation but instead still hold true our Founding
Fathers’ vision near and dear—unlike the GOP.
We are the party who plans to save our Constitution from becoming perverted
carnage, remains in the rubble that Washington has destroyed. The Tea
Party is not the Party of give-a-ways in hope you will vote for them. They
don’t chase the ‘Freeloader’ votes who either forgot what work is or they have
exhibited any qualms to finding a job, knowing the Obama and his simpleton
goons will carry them with food stamps and a spread of free programs. Even
Obama’s Affordable Care Act will be available to illegal aliens; those without
jobs will gain subsidies, while American workers break their backs, to pay for
it all.
To
me, its one carefully constructed conspiracy as entering America has no real penalty. It
is a conceived plan to attract cheap labor, for the Republican Establishment
happy cash donors. For the Democrats, similar but its main impact millions of
more votes. Just read today that if, IF Obamas abhorrent plan to achieve
amnesty for 5 million illegal aliens. The agricultural workforce will desert
the fields and farmers will have empty acreage as laborers handed a free ticket
will head across the country stealing jobs from poor Americans, spreading even
more poverty; therefore the whole insipid game of a desperate need for more
fruit and vegetable pickers will be demanded and the whisper will carry to
every corner of South America, and the monolithic magnet of jobs will start new
surges again.
Currently
92 million Americans seeking work, full time or even a few hours to feed their
families have been forced into the entrapment of food stamps and other welfare,
seeing no decent future. While employers without ethics and morally sick will
hire foreigners prior to the Obama amnesty abomination and with the inception,
if the high court doesn’t condemn it. The Cardinal Rule is every jobless
American picks up the phone and demands a sound border fence and that all
freebies stop to foreigners, including child tax fraudulent for ITIN holders. 6
Billion dollars are being siphoned off by illegal alien applications. To be
truthful we need a new tax system, which is not corrupted by loopholes for the
wealthy, big unions. So many loopholes you could drive a German ‘Tiger’ tank
through it. It’s just like the 1.1 Trillion dollar spending spree just passed
by a corrupt Senate.
Just
the fact that all these cornucopias of free programs exist, brings millions of
foreign nationals to our doors, to break in no matter the consequences. But
thanks to the E-Media and the Internet itself, they are being hounded by public
militias and the words broadcast to the people. The instigators in both parties
can no longer hide the facts that they are committed to K Street lobbyist or crony
interests, who pay their way. It’s a stealth crime played on all Americans who
pay the bills. The American People don’t own the Public Servants in Washington,
the wealthy industrialist and business does.
But we need you—America’s grassroots army—to
keep us going and continue our fight in Washington. WANT TO PURSUE EVERY SENATOR AND CONGRESSMAN and bomb these phone
Numbers and Mailing Addresses of Members of Congress
at: http://www.contactingthecongress.org
/ or http://www.usa.gov/Contact/US-Congress.shtml

very reliable website designed for those against illegal immigration is Americans

NumbersUSA, http://.www.http://www.numbersusa.com
/who want to block illegal immigration.
You know that the TEA PARTY will not compromise what we Patriots collectively
believe in or the values we uphold. You can count on it. It’s beyond
comprehension that a government elected by the people, would reward 5 million
illegal aliens who criminally entered America across areas of open
border or sneaked in as counterfeit tourist never to return to their home
country. On the flimsy border itself the inhabitants of the US counties live in
constant fear, in fact every state has become a border? What does the US
Government do for these people—next to nothing? The sheriffs have hardly any
officers and are under-supplied with enforcement assets. It’s a joke.
Tonight
I watched a TV cable show that illustrates the spreading nightmare along the
border. In many areas reaching into the heartland of America are danger signs,
warning Americans to stay off public land. National Parks those cameras are not
allowed, and will be confiscated and you will be fined for entering. The Land
belongs to the American People and we cannot go there, because of smugglers are
armed with AK 47. We are kept in the dark because government officials don’t
want us to know how they are failing to protect Americans. We send our military
to fight far away wars in the Middle East, but within our
nation’s border, its like Afghanistan or Iraq all over again. Send
our returning troops to border, fully armed a ready to maim or kill. Every one
of the 50 states is now a border state.
With your help we can continue to be your voice in Washington—the thorn in the side of
lawmakers who would sooner sell their own souls than represent the will of the
people.
The Tea
Party has your back. Do you have there’s.?
“physical Conservatives”
Is this a real concept or simply a misspelling of “fiscal Conservatives?”
(The last word of the post suggests the latter.)
That may actually explain a lot.
“…socialist-Communistic donors as George Soros…”
Oh, yeah, them billionaires love them some communism.
Which of the three BIMBO’s will he choose for VP?
Sarah—Nice rack!
Michelle—Crazy eyes!
That little “witch’ from Delaware—- she’s just plain cute!
I am all for Jeb. He will keep the GOP sane for a little while longer. I am all for fiscal responsibility and lower taxes. I need lower tax rates since it looks like I am supporting a couple of welfare Republicans who regularly visit this site. But please keep the religion and the abortion crap out of my face. I am not a woman and I do not give a crap if people want to waste their time on money on church and god.
