Jebbie back pedals

[Ravi]

No big surprise:

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) expanded on his thoughts on Indiana's controversial "religious freedom" law Wednesday night, telling a small group of would-be supporters that although he supported the measure, a "better approach" would have been a "consensus-oriented" process that brought both people of faith and members of the LGBT community to the table.

The likely 2016 Republican presidential contender cited Utah as an example where state leaders passed similar legislation, but included prohibitions on anti-gay discrimination. "There wasn’t a bunch of yelling and screaming. That to me seems like a better approach to dealing with this," Bush said in Silicon Valley, according to The New York Times.

"The better approach would have been the approach that is the more consensus-oriented approach I think," Bush said. "I'm not being critical of [Indiana Gov.] Mike Pence, because I did say that I supported his efforts."

Bush's comments in California differ from his full-throated defense of Pence before a more conservative audience earlier in the week. In an interview with right-wing radio host Hugh Hewitt, Bush said, "I think Gov. Pence has done the right thing."

Were there other threads? Here's a tissue.

Old Jebbie is a flip flopper just like Mitten.

The social conservatives are debating with the libertarians and chambers of commerce, and Jeb is debating with himself.

I stole that from Joe Scarborough

 

[rightwinger]

Jebs knee jerk support of the party line came back to haunt him

He needs to save those responses for Cruz or Jindal to make. Nobody expects better of them

A classic fence straddle:

...I support gay rights and I support the religious who want to deny gays rights...

...please don't ask me to elaborate...

 

[pismoe]

the people that matter to Conservatives , people like Ted Cruz isn't back pedaling and that's what matters to Conservatives . boosh , no use for any of the family since before gwb 2nd run for pres .

The "small group of supporters" refered to in the article were actually Big Money Donors giving Jebbie his marching orders.

As the leading GOP candidate, Jeb would like the issue of gay rights to just go away

Let the Supreme Court make the decision for the country and then tell party faithful that there was nothing you could do about it

But then, idiots like those in Indiana force your hand and make you take sides.....all Jeb can do is issue platitudes and straddle the fence

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Only one who hasn't flip-flopped yet is Rubio.

Or has he and I just haven't heard about it yet?

Oh, I think you're right.

Carnival Cruz hasn't flip-flopped yet either.

I'm pretty sure Rubio's original statement was a straddle.

"I think people have the right to live out their religious faith in their own lives," Rubio said Monday on Fox News. "And when you’re asking someone who provides professional services to do something, or be punished by law, that violates their faith, you’re violating that religious liberty they have."

Rubio must believe that someone is forcing people to become bakers, caterers, florists, or some other public accommodation business. And forcing them to sell gay themed items.

Another thread where liberals are celebrating Jeb Bush's flip flop? ? Listen there's nothing for any of you to celebrate, no conservative likes Bush - he's an irrelevant figure in the republican party, attack him all you want, please.
