Ah Jeb. You just can’t help yourself.

Again, on another historic day when Pope Francis quoted Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in a speech to Congress, the Catholic convert likewise tried to reach and empathize with African Americans. Only this is how he did it.

At a campaign stop in Mount Pleasant, S.C., a voter noted the event was all-white, and asked Bush how Republicans can appeal to African Americans. At first Bush seemed like the compassionate conservative he’s supposed to be. He touted the African Americans on his leadership team staff, discussed his outreach to black ministers, pivoted to the issue of Latino voters, and offered a feisty defense of speaking Spanish on the campaign trail:

If someone asks me a question in Spanish just for the record, don’t take offense that I answer it in Spanish. It’s not an offense to you, it’s respect for others. You campaign in a way that draws people to your cause. That’s what you do.

So far, so good. Then Bush totally blew it. Turning back to the issue of black voters, he said:

Think about it this way, Republicans get 4-7 percent of the African-American vote…If you double that, you win elections in Ohio, Virginia. And we should make that case, because our message is one of hope and aspiration. It isn’t one of division, “get in line, we’ll take care of you with free stuff.” Our message is uplifting, that says, “You can achieve earned success. We’re on your side.”

“We’re on your side,” black voters, though we’re not sure you’ve really achieved “earned success.” You’ve been relying a little too much on “free stuff” from Democrats, but we’re here to change that. The level of condescension and negative stereotyping in Bush’s statement is stunning, but not surprising.

After all, Mitt Romney said essentially the same thing – directly to the NAACP, in July of 2012. “Your friends who like Obamacare, you remind them of this: If they want more stuff from government, tell them to go vote for the other guy — more free stuff. But don’t forget nothing is really free.”

They do want free stuff

I agree. Republicans need to learn that buying votes through deficit spending will will elections. Sadly history show it ends countries as well, something the Dems need to learn again.

In the end I hope Jeb drops out. I would like to see Rand VS Sanders personally at this point.

“get in line, we’ll take care of you with free stuff.”

Trump isn't the only republican not a serious candidate.

Bush is a dreadful campaigner.

Bush is a dreadful campaigner.

Rubio, Kusich, etc are probably the best they have...What they don't get is they have to play outside of the bible belt and kooksville.


Christy is probably a better outside of that area then Trump, Carson and Bush.

I'll give them this... At least they all don't receive the same emails telling them what to say, what avatars to choose from and how to place them (upside down). But sure, they are idiots. However, at least they have debates and more than 1 accepted pre picked candidate to choose from.

This shit isn't going to play in florida where there's a lot of old people and non-whites.
This shit isn't going to play in Virgina or Ohio where there's a lot of young people that love investment into their country and see our science institions of the cornerstone of our greatness.

None of this extreme regious crap is going to win them much outside of the bible belt.

 

[Blackrook]

Jeb Bush isn't "done." The only people who will be offended by his remarks are people who wouldn't vote for him anyway.

This is not at all like the Romney comment about the 47%. The Democrats ran commercials showing people of all races and circumstances as part of the 47%.

And really, many blacks are completely dependent on government handouts. There shouldn't be a penalty for telling the truth.

These dopes never learn and good lord the arrogance they show when speaking of people who are lucky to find something to eat every day. And the kicker, many of them claim to be Christians. It is some sick joke they play on themselves and the rest of the population.

Thank god their crazy always leaks out of their heads.

They do want free stuff

What kind of "free stuff"? Like Subsidies to rich farmers? One Republican in congress has gotten millions. The dumb ass base says that's OK because he's a "producer". Subsidies to oil companies?
Really, you just can't make this stuff up.
