Jeb Bush: Florida Schools For Profit

Former Gov. Jeb Bush, who made education reform the hallmark of his two terms in office, is praising a new state law that could spur the growth of charter schools in Florida. here
-----------
Legislation (HB 7069) “Schools of hope” is meant to generate new charter schools near struggling public schools.
The law faces legal challenges, with the latest coming from a group of school districts that want the Florida Supreme Court to overturn the measure.
“You know you’re doing the right thing when you get sued by school districts,” said Bush

Florida GOP Always Trashing Obama

Marco Rubio maintains that President Barack Obama is more interested in providing money to Planned Parenthood than for the nation's armed forces.
Jeb Bush says the Obama administration has "gutted" every weapons system in the U.S. military's inventory.

FACTS
Money spent on weapons modernization is on par with the George W. Bush administration. The military cuts were approved by Republicans and Democrats. The military budget is being squeezed by the insistence of lawmakers in both parties that money be spent on bases and equipment that the Pentagon says it doesn't need. here
And the government spends roughly 1,000 times more on the armed forces than on Planned Parenthood.

Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush: Climate Change Is Distant Threat

Not 15 miles from the homes of Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush on the mainland, Miami Beach work crews elevate the streets, turning ground floors effectively into windowed basements, to try to stave off the implacable rise of sea water. Up comes the powerful ocean, threatening people, property and the underground freshwater supply. here
“I don’t have a plan to influence the weather, can’t control nature." Marco Rubio
“It wouldn’t be on my first page of things that wake me up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat.” Jeb Bush

Florida GOP On President Obama’s Actions On Gun Sales

Jeb Bush: "When I am president of the United States, I will repeal Obama’s anti-gun executive orders on Day One of my administration." 
Marco Rubio: “It undermines the Second Amendment and it will do nothing to keep people safe."
Dennis Ross: "The President is employing false rhetoric about loopholes in our gun laws to stoke fear and as a means to placate 
his political base."
 Todd Wilcox: “The idea that disarming law-abiding citizens will make us a safer nation is a lie that liberals continue to tell."
Carlos Lopez-Cantera: "President Obama and his Washington cronies will do anything to advance their own political agenda and restrict our 2nd Amendment rights."
----------
His efforts only nibble around the edges of the problem and pose no threat to Second Amendment rights to bear arms. . The best approach would be for Congress to act, but it refuses to stand up to the gun rights lobby even with overwhelming public support for sensible reforms.

Jeb Bush’s role in freeing a Cuban terrorist

An international terrorist enters the United States illegally, with no visa. FBI agents alert their superiors; the suspect is linked to more than 40 bombings — including blowing up a civilian airliner. He makes it clear he has no intention of renouncing violence to achieve his goals. here
----------
The fiery, white-haired Cuban exile by the name of Orlando Bosch, was freed by the U.S. government in a deal cleared by the White House — thanks in part to the backing he received from the then president’s son Jeb Bush.

Florida Voters Remember the Jeb Gov Disaster

Only 7% Say They Would Vote For Him
Jeb Bush’s campaign has been in trouble since its start and for good reason. In fact, Jeb’s poor polling with Floridians, his former constituents, may be the best proof that voters who have had the Jeb experience don’t want it again. here

traditional base.
