No. He's just like GWB. A "big government" guy.

I've cast my lot with the moderates and it's time for a change. If this is the best that the GOP can do, I'll either vote 3rd party, or stay home.

No, if only because of his last name. I would probably vote Libertarian like I did in 2012.

Do any of you tin foil hats even know anything about him or do you just see "Bush" and freak out like everyone in the media?

He was a solid governor of Florida. However, I would not vote for him to be president.

He's for amnesty

Big proponent of Common Core

Apparently is ready to take Dems at their "word" on spending cuts for tax increases

Jeb is more liberal than W

Jeb is a complete and total amnesty shill and is likely in bed with the Chamber of Commerce(aka Chamber of Crony Capitalists)

Government would grow under Jeb, it certainly would not shrink

No, and it should be self-explanatory.



You'd think so but apparently some people are big fans of "compassionate conservationism"

I just want to make sure I understand your position (assuming you're a republican). If a moderate Republican is nominated you will either vote third party or not vote at all?

That isn't the only factor. I refuse to support our royal families.

I'd vote for him before I would some third party candidate who doesn't have a snowball's chance of getting elected. No way, at this point, do I pull a lever for a present day democrat.

For you libertarians, I'd probably go with one of your guys but until you get a grassroots candidate that can make themselves a real viable candidate that has a near equal shot of getting elected as the D or R would for president, then I can't see wasting a vote if it means helping out a democrat who I basically have absolutely nothing in common with.

For me, voting against something is just as important as voting for something. In today's politics the democrats promote a helluva lot more that I don't like compared to just a few things the republicans push that I do like.

I would not vote for Jeb Bush. He was the primary driving force for Common Core. Since then I studied up on him. He's for bigger government and we need to be downsizing. He's not conservative by any stretch of the imagination. He wants full blown amnesty and will likely double down on his brother's policies.

I would vote for the Libertarian candidate if for no other reason than to stand on principle.

For those of you who suggest you will not support the Republican candidate unless he is YOUR guy I have a question. During the Lee vs Jefferson(LSU qb) fiasco I am sure everyone had their favorite as to who should be the starter. Did you not pull for LSU depending on who the starting qb was?



The starting LSU QB has no bearing on my life whatsoever. People in elected office do. This isn't a fricking game.

Just because a candidate has an R next to their name doesn't mean they aren't a big government progressive.

I refuse to vote for any big government progressives, Republican or Democrat.

Remember in 2010 how all the RINOs in the senate like McConnell, Cornyn, Graham, McCain, etc. came out and endorsed Charlie Crist in the Florida Senate Primary over Marco Rubio?

Charlie Crist is now running for the DEMOCRAT nomination for Florida Governor.

Republicans can be big government progressives.

All the I'd vote for any Republican just because there is an R next to their name, what a bunch of partisan hacks.

Hook, line and sinker.

Or that time in 2013 when they all stood in opposition to Ted Cruz's attempt to defund Obamacare.
