Jeb Bush draws boos from conservatives

By Alexandra Jaffe

A mention of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), a potential 2016 presidential contender, brought boos from a conservative crowd in New Hampshire on Saturday.

Speaking at the New Hampshire Freedom Summit, a gathering of conservative activists and figures organized by Americans for Prosperity and Citizens United, billionaire Donald Trump said Bush’s recent comments on immigrants coming to the U.S. as an “act of love” were “out there.”

“You know, I heard Jeb Bush the other day,” he said, with quiet boos and angry murmurs erupting from the crowd at the mention of Bush’s name.

“And he was talking about people that come into this country illegally, they do it for love,” he continued, with the boos growing louder. Read the story here.

Far as I'm concerned, the GOP nominee is irrelevant..

For quite a while now I have been of the opinion that if anyone self selects as a Republican circa 2000, I can not seriously consider them as representing me in any rational way

The ideology of greed that is central to their philosophy should be repugnant to anyone who claims fealty to a Judeo-Christian ethic

..but then there are millions of hypocrites aren't there?
