Jeb Bush Backs Mitt Romney for President: ‘Now Is the Time for Republicans to Unite’

Jeb Bush Backs Mitt Romney for President: Now Is the Time for Republicans to Unite

AP

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on Wednesday endorsed Mitt Romney’s bid for president, following Romney’s primary win in Illinois the night before.

In a statement, Bush said “now is the time for Republicans to unite” behind the former Massachusetts governor.

“Congratulations to Governor Mitt Romney on his win last night and to all the candidates for a hard fought, thoughtful debate and primary season,” Bush said, according to ABC News. “Primary elections have been held in thirty-four states, and now is the time for Republicans to unite behind Governor Romney and take our message of fiscal conservatism and job creation to all voters this fall. I am endorsing Mitt Romney for our Party’s nomination. We face huge challenges, and we need a leader who understands the economy, recognizes more government regulation is not the answer, believes in entrepreneurial capitalism and works to ensure that all Americans have the opportunity to succeed.”

Bush, whose name often surfaces during talk of a brokered GOP convention, said last month he has found the rhetoric on the GOP campaign trail “a little troubling.”

“I used to be a conservative and I watch these debates and I’m wondering, I don‘t think I’ve changed, but it‘s a little troubling sometimes when people are appealing to people’s fears and emotion rather than trying to get them to look over the horizon for a broader perspective and that’s kind of where we are,” Bush said.

Bush’s endorsement comes after his father, former President George H.W. Bush, backed Romney in December.

Former President George W. Bush has not endorsed anyone in the GOP race.

      Oh it’s true, they see him as the candidate and they want to stop Obama. They are also voicing the voice of their supporters who are voting for Romney. Look at Illinois, they saw him as the Economic Heavyweight, the candidate to shrink government, repeal ObamaCare, and fix this economy. This is why Romney will win the nominee and with everyone’s help we will get him elected in the General. Then on top of that we will replace the Dem/Liberal Senators and take back the Senate and keep the house, then there will be no question what Romney will do.

      In Massachusetts he had to fight the 85% liberal legislature, here hopefully he will have two majorities, maybe a super majority, then they can make some truly conservative reform that will fix America. Here is a site dedicating to reversing the media’s false accusations against Romney: http://tiny.cc/nv5ibw . In 2012, we will “Fundamentally Restore America.”

      SOYBOMB315,

      Nope, no mistake in my question. The essential part was never the mandate, that is what people are talking about but the program was centered around the Free-Market, Consumer base, deregulating Market place where people could choose bare bone insurance or insurance that covers everything, which was set up by Romney & Heritage Foundation. The mandate was a second part added two years into the design process. And that mandate was as Romney and Heritage wrote in an op-ed, “Buy your own insurance, or pay your own bill.” Romney even says this today, why is it that the government has to pay for everyone to get insurance when they have the money and decide, “I don’t want to.” The 1st mandate was a conservative/libertarian mandate that was changed.

      Remember also that Gingrich backed a federal version of this mandate and Santorum wanted an employer mandate. Santorum dropped it years ago while Gingrich dropped it after his campaign started falling apart 6 months ago.

      You like mandates though, how about this one, “Work for your food, or go hungry” this is a natural mandate. How about “Pay your mortgage/rent, or lose your house.” this is a govt enforced mandate.”

      RomneyCare is constitutional under the Mass constitution written by John Adams. This is why the 10th amendment is so important, you still have a choice, if you don’t like it, move out of the state or change the law. Since Mass. likes the law, ever 50% of the conservatives, if you don’t like

      i don’t really care how the political process arrived at romneycare – it is his baby. If he doesnt like the way it came out – too bad. If romney doesnt like the mandate – then why did he support the federal mandate as part of obamacare in 2009??? That is a recent story, i’m sure you can locate it.

      I dont care what gingrich and any think tank said about it – i dont support him and i like to think on my own

      If the supreme court rules the individual mandate unconstitutional – then it is unconstitutional at all levels of government. That is why the state of massechuesetts (spelling) cannot ban free speech – it is unconstitutional (see 14th ammendment). I know john adams had problems with free speech so maybe that wasnt a good example. The same applies to guns, establishment of religion, etc. The states are incorporated under the constitution and they cannot infringe upon our rights (bill of rights). I know romney doesnt understand this and many candidates dont – but you will see soon enough

Four more years of what we’ve had for the last three years will destroy true freedom, and all of the dreams that come along with it!!!

      TRI-OX,

      Thanks for using a George Soros group. Why didn’t they get the whole quote, because he was talking about the loser of favor with independents, not a change in his positions. Romney already knows he is on unsteady ground when it comes to flip-flopping. The media loves to call him a flip flopper and we have proven him to be no more of a flip-flopper than Gingrich, Santorum, or Paul. This will either make or break that theory of him being a ‘flip-flopper.’ Just remember that if Santorum or Gingrich won, they too would go back to their progressive past and try to convince the Indies that they were on their side. This isn’t just a Romney thing, this is what is wrong with Politics.

      That is why Romney positioned himself in the beginning in the middle of ultra-conservatives and moderates. That way he wouldn’t have to lean right and then left depending on whether he was in the primary or general election.

      Watch him now, let us hope that he stays strong on his convictions, for he has not said one thing in this election that has flipped his stance since 2008 and as governor. Though he may position himself back in the middle when it comes to his rhetoric.

      TIME WILL ONLY TELL BUT ROMNEY IS NO FLIP-FLOPPER.

His religion doesn’t have anything to do with your opposition to him does it? I only ask because of some of your past posts.

      No real conservative would stay home. If you are a real conservative, then you love this country, and you know this country cannot afford four more years of Obama. So, you get off your butt and vote.

      Mitt Romney raised taxes and fees in Massachusetts. In all 33 new fees were created, and 57 fees were increased. Yes very conservative, as I roll my eyes and gag.

      Wake up!!!!

      No you won’t Gonzo. When Romney gets 1144 pledged delegates (and make no mistake – he will) you will whine and complain and “demand” a brokered convention.

      Fair enough Gonzo. However, at this point Newt is running far behind AND in the red — Santorum has conceded that his only chance to beat Romney is to get to a brokered convention.

      So the question then becomes – do we think that 5 more months of infighting is good for the party? (especially since the odds are that even IF we went to a brokered convention, Romney would still get the nod)… Is it wise to waste so much campaigning money against each other when Obama is still saving up?

      Jeb the Globalist who supports Amnesty and chaired the Council of Foreign Relations Immigration Policy AMNESITY. You mean Jeb who supports education reform for a New World Order.Jeb the son of H Bush who told us one day we will have a New World Order !! You mean Jeb who backed Rubio even though Rubio when he was in the state house appointed Harvey Ruvin to the Climate Task Force Board in Miami and support public/privat partnerships. Oh and by the way he was never a TEA PARTY CANDIDATE. Romney put in sustainable development policies in Mass and supports Cap and Trade. All of the above is out of the UN AGENDA 21 that George H Bush gave us.Run to the hills the progressive republicans are out and want there power.

      @ Gonzo
      I agree with what you are saying if all involved–Candidates, PACs, Partisan Pundits and to a lesser degree the highly charged voters; come to some agreement to accept Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment–Thou shall not speak evil of another Republican. I would like to see this much venom (money) spent on pointing out the difference between the Republican candidate and BHO. They are real and important.

      You don‘t have a clue what you’re talking about as usual Broker. I held my nose and voted for McCain and I’ll do it again for Romney when the time comes. If you had clue you would know that Romeny is going to have the delegates in place by the time the convention gets here anyway.

      The problem is that the last time in addition to holding my nose, I also had to hold down my lunch.

      Great point! Do Santorum and Newt realize the severity of this situation? If so, would they be willing to drop out when they realize that the odds are almost zero that they will be nominated? How bloody are they willing to make the republican party before they drop out?

      Them dropping out gives it to Mitt, a liberal republican can’t win period, and if by some miracle they did, we will be NO BETTER OFF. Newt, Rick, and Paul all know what they are doing, they stay in, together the 3 can get enough votes to build a ticket that actually can win.

      if mitt is going to win the primary – i hope the other guys stay in so that mitt has to at least bite his tongue and give me something to feel good about….tell me you will cut spending, shut down federal programs, fix the entitlements….SOMETHING

      to let mitt of the hook without making him try is the true insanity
