Lt. Col. Allen West, reacting to Jeb Bush’s announcement this last Tuesday that he’s seriously considering a 2016 presidential bid, used strong words to describe the politics of the former Republican Florida governor.
Appearing on FOX News with Sean Hannity, West, referring to Bush running against Democrat frontrunner Hillary Clinton, said that match is the last thing the country needs, labeling Jeb Bush a “big government progressive.”
“When you look at by the time we get to 2016, we’re going to have a country with $20 trillion in debt; we’re going to have a massive, bureaucratic, administrative, regulatory state, and the last thing we need to see is a big government, progressive Republican running against a bigger government progressive socialist Democrat.”
West asserted that the biggest problems for a Jeb Bush presidential candidacy are going to be his unacceptable positions on amnesty and Common Core.
Wild Thing’s comment.………
I agree with Allen West.
West is absolutely correct.
As much as I like GW Bush, the last thing this country wants is another Bush. Jeb’s ego must be huge to want to give it a shot, knowing that if he is the nominee, Hillary will be our president.
No to Jeb or Christi. We have an abundance of very good conservatives that may enter. I DO NOT WANT another Establishment repub or another ultra liberal Dem in the White House. 2016 will be an agonizingly slow time to get here. Lots of hopes and heartaches along the way.
