It\u2019s common knowledge that Jeb \u201cNot Another One!\u201d Bush is the moderate Republican.  He\u2019s the sensible guy that rises above all that InsaniTEA stuff, right?  I wish it were so!  Unfortunately, Jeb has done a Romney-flop and Etched his Sketch on immigration, now opposing a path to citizenship.  Furthermore, he has been supporting some highly unsavory characters.  The \u201cmoderate\u201d has turned hard right.<\/font><\/p>\n

Two Florida Republicans with their eyes on the White House are keeping busy in the 2013 election cycle by helping a GOP candidate in Virginia.<\/p>\n

Both Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush are helping out conservative Ken Cuccinelli, the state attorney general, who is the Republican gubernatorial candidate in Virginia. Rubio hit Richmond on Monday, campaigning alongside Cuccinelli. Bush will be at a fundraiser on Tuesday hosted by longtime Republican politico Spencer Abraham who served in the U.S. Senate and in George W. Bush\u2019s Cabinet as energy secretary.<\/p>\n

Slipping behind Democrat opponent Terry McAuliffe in the polls, Cuccinelli is increasingly appearing to be an underdog in November. Virgina has been trending blue in recent years as Barack Obama carried it twice and Democrats like Kim Webb, Mark Warner and Tim Kaine craft together victories in the polls\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If Jeb Bush were truly moderate, he would not be supporting the likes of Cuccinelli. On the other hand, the anti-Semites present may have been an attraction for Jeb. After all, the Bush family has such a long tradition of anti-Semitism that they openly supported Hitler, continued to supply Nazi Germany, even after the US entered WWII, and even made big profits from concentration camp labor<\/a>.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
