Seriously, what is "so bad" about a Jeb Bush candidacy?

Tampa Bay Times:  Jeb Bush was held up by top Republican donors today as one of the party’s best voices to champion immigration reform in the coming presidential election.

Both Mike Fernandez, a major GOP donor in Florida and longtime Bush ally, and Spencer Zwick, who was national finance chairman of Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign, singled out Bush during a conference call this afternoon.

“Certainly Gov. Bush has decided to lead on this issue,” Zwick said, adding any candidate needs to clearly say where they are on the issue and not try to say the “most outrageous thing so that they can make national news.”

“We have to have someone who is willing to take on this issue,” he said. “We have to nominate a candidate who is willing to let action be stronger than inaction. Because as Republicans, we’ve let inaction be our model for too long."

Editor's notes:  The problem conservatives have with most who preach "comprehensive immigration reform,"  is this,  they are tired of being lied too  . . . . . .   and the Obama Administration, when it comes to transparency and lying,  is a pathological concentrate.  Sadly, and on a much less radical scale,  so too are the GOP Establishment,  Big Government, leaders.  

There are those who believe we should "pack them up and send them all,  back to Mexico or wherever."  Michele Backmann,  bless her conservative heart (seriously) is one of these leaders.  

Ain't going to happen because  . . . . . . . . . . . . .   that is impossible.  There are 12 million "illegals,"  maybe 20 million.      Ain't going to happen.  

As an aside,  have you noticed that 10 years ago the going estimate for our immigration population,  was "20 million?"  Today,  it is closer to "11 million."  Why the difference?  Because those who want open borders and amnesty,  know that "11 million" sounds much better than "20 million,"  when you are talking about all the free stuff the Dems want to give the illegals.  They control the media, and,  as a consequence,  we have quietly  been fed this revision.

While most conservatives understand this,  and,  know that the border will never be made "air tight."    Still,  they believe we must start with effective border control.   After the border problem is resolved, most conservatives I know believe we can and should  move into the debate as to what we do with those who are here.  

We can have the two considerations at the same time,  border control and the debate over the future of our in country immigrants,  but the border comes first,  out of necessity.  

And immigration futures?  Well,  I say,  "Fix the current system.  Stream line it.  Reduce the time involved in going from 'application to full blown citizenship,'  and put the current crop of immigrants behind those who have stood in line,  for years,  legally."  

Understand this:  we already have comprehensive immigration.  But,  it is slow and almost punitive,  as a process.    When it takes 10 to 15 years to become a citizen of this Once Great Nation,  that is pathetic.  The existing system,  the one we already have,  has needed serious reform since before the days of Reagan.  

Jeb Bush,  I believe,  will do the right thing in this regard, at least, per what I have heard him say:  "Border first, then reform."  I and we, agree.  

My problem with Jeb, and, the whole famn damily is this,  they are compassionate Big Government types.  They differ from the Radical Progressives in their willingness to acknowledge God, and the critical importance of Constitutional process and Constitutional allegiance.  But,  they (Hebert Walk,  G.W. and Jeb) are all believers in a robust and growing Federal Government.  

Jeb,  for an example,  favors keeping the Department of Education, and,  in fact, giving it more power as he pushes for Common Core and a nationalized standard for local school systems.  His father helped initiate the Project 21 agenda (a scheme that moves "country folk" into the 'big city" by hook or crook) and G.W. approved of the Ru 486 abortion pill,  and,  supported the fantasy that the "poor deserve to own their own homes" (ala "Affordable Housing,"  a socialistic policy that,  in the end,  gave us the 2008 financial collapse).  

Me?  I say,  "It is time we came out of the Bush,  and into the modern era,  a time when conservative values serve both the hard working  population and the poor/uneducated citizenship,  where  God is allowed if not followed,  and the size and very scope of Central Planning is given a "course correction."  That is what I want for this nation,  and there are millions and millions who have similar beliefs.  

Having said all of the above,  I do believe with the criticism that the GOP has been a party of  "do nothings,"  for far too long.  If Jeb was the GOP's presidential candidate,  I would vote for him,  but only because he is not a One Worlder   . . . . . .  and that may be a big deal,  in the months and years to come.
