CRONY CAPITALISTS, “REPUBLICAN” LAWMAKERS ON FRONTRUNNER’S AGENDA

|| By FITSNEWS || Former Florida governor Jeb Bush will pay a visit to early voting South Carolina next month – addressing a group of crony capitalists in the Palmetto Upstate and a gathering of “Republican” lawmakers in Columbia, S.C.

Yeah … can a political swing get any more “status quo” than that?

According to The Greenville News, Bush will address a breakfast meeting of the Upstate Chamber Coalition on Tuesday, March 17, 2015.  That gathering of government-subsidized “economic developers” will be held at the Embassy Suites Greenville Golf Resort and Conference Center at 8:00 a.m. EDT.

From there, Bush will travel to Columbia, S.C. to address a gathering of the S.C. House “Republican” Caucus.  That event is not open to the public.

Recent polling shows Bush running neck-and-neck with Wisconsin governor Scott Walker for the early lead in the Palmetto State’s “First in the South” presidential primary.

Since Bush’s unofficial entry into the 2016 race in December, he’s become the clear “establishment” choice in the GOP primary.  That position solidified last month when 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney decided against mounting a third presidential bid.

Our view on Bush?

“Beyond the stigma associated with his family, Bush has adopted some ill-advised ‘centrist’ positions in an effort to endear himself to the mushy middle of the American electorate,” we wrote last October, adding that “the higher he rises the further he veers to the left.”

At least he looks like he is smarter than a wheelbarrow full of bricks, so better than the last Bush.

Not exactly high praise, he looks like a mildly retarded Dr. Evil in the above picture.

Let’s see…Donald is a serious candidate who we can’t say enough nice things about ($$$), but the most qualified candidate is just ‘status quo’ centrist who runs with crony capitalists? Geez, why does nobody take this joke of a blog seriously again?

1- This blog will let you say anything you want about liberals – and their stupid $#!t – w/o banning you.

2- FITS – and his likewise commentators – are a perfect sample for pop culture, middle of the road-liberal easy to fool voters.

3- FITS is where liberals gather, because he hates Republicans as much as they do. If you like kicking their @$$#$ on their home field, this is the place to find them.

No, as he repeatedly points out, he doesn’t like liberal “Republicans”. Apparently, YOU DO.

Oh, BTW, didn’t you just comment yesterday on the Citadel story that FITS “wants to talk about ANYTHING but the political landscape…” Interesting how wrong you always are. But I’m sure FITS was just doing this story in response to your comment, just to make sure you were satisfied. After all, he wouldn’t want a reputable individual like you to be upset at him.
Oh, and I guess you still believe Germone Hopper is a better football player than Pharoh Cooper. You see, words and ignorant arguments have consequences.

” Bush will address a breakfast meeting of the Upstate Chamber Coalition on Tuesday”

“From there, Bush will travel to Columbia, S.C. to address a gathering of the S.C. House “Republican” Caucus. ”

In other words, it is the Invisible Primary (even though the announcement of candidacy is not yet public)

Just what we need, another mushy middle moderate establishment candidate. Which Dim will win in 16 ? Can’t we ever learn, McCain, Romney? The news media gets to pick the Republican candidate while they are 80% Dim. WOW what part of stupid do they not get ? The moderate hasn’t won the last two races, why not try a conservative and see what happens ? The country just might get lucky.

South Carolina would NEVER- NEVER beat Clemson FIVE years in a row…according to Stupid F*#ks like you…because you based your ideas on your weakness…

Idiots make stupid statements, and project losers…you sound like a Dumb@$$…predestined to lose…

“Hillary CANNOT win Florida”…I think that is FAR more accurate than claiming ANY Republican can’t win Florida..

.I LMAO when I realize you will send Hillary up…no matter what…It is like the GOP sending out Dole vs Bill or McCain vs Obama…You have already lost…

SAY WHAT?! It ill-behooves you to so obfuscate as you pontificate. FYI it’s idiots like YOU that hold on to just 5 of the last 6 seasons because we beat the Upstate Rednecks. Let it go, dude. They’ve more credibility than us over the last 100 years. FYI. Don’t make this about football, or it’ll just devolve into ugliness. Remember, in football you’re only as good as your last game, your last season.

This isn’t about football, the SEC or ACC. It’s about POTUS. And I never suggested Bush to be weak. To the contrary, he’s the only one strong enough to win FL. That’s no weakness. And, I personally like the guy. I haven’t seen anyone nearly as presidential from the GOP yet. (To be fair, there are zero democrats that remotely appear presidential).

And, please, my hemorrhoid-affected friend, please remove your head from your tail – Hillary can easily win FL. The presumptive D-nominee already has her ground game completely engaged.

PS. Have you ever considered giving up Fits for Lent?
