Jeb Bush Doubles-Down on Common-Core

By Elizabeth Nelson

While in New Hampshire, with Governor Scott Walker, Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush decided he'd start poking sticks at Governor Walker, who has never hid his opposition to Common Core, after Governor Walker declared himself the "front-runner in the race for the Republican presidential nomination." 

Not to be outdone, former FL Governor Bush figured he'd throw jabs at Governor Walker and doubled-down on his pro-Common Core position, while he was at it.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush yesterday poked fun at Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s declaration that he’s the front-runner in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, as both heavyweights are set to collide in the Granite State for a second straight day today.

“I’m not a candidate. I don’t think — maybe he is — I don’t know. You can’t be a front-runner until you start running,” Bush said after touring Integra Biosciences here yesterday.

Of course, then Bush, being the mushy, pro-Amnesty, squishy on Second-Amendment, pro-Common-Core Moderate Republican that he is decided to start showing his true colors when he was asked, "so are you declaring that you are running, in 2016?"

“I’m joyfully pursuing the possibility of this and I will decide at some point, and then I’ll go at it,” he said, ignoring the massive campaign fundraising that’s taking place on his behalf.

In an attempt to portray himself as more electable than his rivals, Bush reiterated his support for mainstreaming illegal immigrants — a stance that has drawn heat from hard-line conservatives in his party.

“The best plan, the most realistic plan, the grown-up plan, once you control the border ... is to say, ‘Let these folks achieve, earn legal status,’ ” Bush said during a business roundtable at Integra. “If we just keep people in the shadows, we’re not going to solve our immigration problems.”

Bush also embraced the so-called Common Core State Standards Initiative, which dictates public school education and math requirements. He said the standards are needed and described a scenario where without them, students could receive a high school diploma, yet still fail entrance tests for community colleges.

“Who’s fooling who?” Bush asked. “Do we feel good about this? Are we that concerned about our self-esteem?”

He suggested his position on Common Core may be unpopular among some Republicans, but it’s also more mature, and hence more likely to attract mainstream voters.

This shows how "out of touch" Bush really is with this entire Country and what an uphill fight he's going to have with the electoral collage, should he indeed decide to run.

Yes, Common-Core may be the "standard," here in Florida, but even we are fighting to get this leach off our educational student body.

“I think you need to begenuine,” said Bush. “You need to have a backbone. You need to be able topersuade people this is a national crisis. … Our country will not be as dynamicas we want it to be until we improve education in this country.” Read more Boston Herald

The Standardized testing of No Child Left Behind is one thing, this is Our Country Gone to Hell. Common Core is the Islamic dummyingdown of our Children and is a total waste of our Educational resources.  My step-son is in the 3rd Grade, is doing Algebra math, and has Common-Core math being inflicted on him.  He asked his teacher if he "had the correct answer," and her answer to him (I kid you not), "I don't know, this is the Common-Core math book, and this one doesn't have an answer key."

Any candidate that stands against our children, our Constitution, that includes the Second Amendment, and stands for the "fundamentally changing America" will not get my vote. That includes the occasionallyracially divisive, anti-second amendment, somewhat unpatriotic, US government slamming, gaffing Dr. Carson.



Inexperienced men, who are great with flowery words that are only meant to stir our Emotions just won't do it this time.  We see where that's gotten us. Professor Obama said something a lot like Dr. Carson before he took office, regardless of what he said during his campaigning.
"I don't believe people should be able to own guns," Obama told Lott one day at the University of Chicago Law School. - Professor Obama

  

I guess he "evolved" on our rights, after he took office, because he's signed 23 Executive Orders regarding our gun rights oh and two more after that.  Can't forget the ATF and Diane Feinstein's attempt at an outright gun ban, again, because her 1984 ban didn't prove useless enough.
