Jeb Bush in Lancaster, PA: Voters are "sick and tired" of Obama's agenda.

Jeb Bush rallies, warns GOP

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said voters are growing "sick and tired" of President Barack Obama's agenda but argued that conservative Republicans need to hone their messages to capitalize in this year's elections.
The two-term Republican, speaking Monday morning in Lancaster city at a $125-a-plate fundraiser for the state House GOP, sounded as if he was on the campaign trail himself � bringing some 540 conservatives to their feet during his 15-minute appearance.

"President Obama got elected in the minds of some people that he was going to be a different kind of leader, a post-partisan leader," Bush said. "He got elected by other people because he had a clear agenda � and I didn't find it too secret � that said we're going to redistribute wealth and expand government in every means to be able to achieve a social objective.

"In fact, I think what he said as a candidate was that government, with smart people running it, can create more prosperity, more justice and more wealth than the old way that had been antiquated and considered to be not worthy of the 21st century," Bush said.

"It is time for us to provide a compelling alternative to that," said Bush.

.....

"There is no society, there is no country in the world that has been successful (by) taxing more, spending more, mandating more, regulating more," he said. "It creates less prosperity. It limits people's hopes and aspirations. It puts a lid on the ability for the next generation to pursue their dreams.

"And so by winning this election � by electing Pat Toomey, for example, as the United States senator from Pennsylvania � and electing more Republicans to the Congress, electing a Republican governor and electing a Republican Legislature � not only will you get better government, but you'll also be sending a clear signal going forward that this avalanche of more government in Washington, D.C., is not to be tolerated," Bush said.

"And guess what? My guess is, across the country, the exact same thing is going to happen," Bush said. "There is a tsunami building not just in Pennsylvania, but I can guarantee you it's building in Florida. I know it's building in places like California as well, where people are saying I'm going to get engaged, I'm going to get involved for the first time.
"I am convinced as I travel around that people are absolutely getting the message that the bedrock principles of limited government you cannot veer from. Government can't grow faster than people's ability to pay for it," said Bush.

.....

Again, when the acid-tongued one speaks, people cringe.

Barbara and Poppy must be so proud.

It's the rest of us who are "sick and tired" of this deeply destructive family.
