Jeb Bush Draws Fire from Right on Common Core, Immigration

Constitutional Rights PAC (CRPAC) continued to ramp up its opposition to former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla., running for president in 2016.

Jeb Bush is not the conservative choice for 2016; in fact, hes very far from it, CRPAC Chairman Larry Ward said on Thursday. Bush is a dyed-in-the-wool establishment Republican and advocate of big government. He supports amnesty, additional taxes, and wants D.C. bureaucrats dictating what's taught in public school classrooms across the country. These ideas are totally divorced from any kind of traditional conservatism weve got to end Jeb 2016.

If Jeb Bush is chosen to replace Barack Obama in the Oval Office leaving the likelihood or unlikelihood of that scenario aside we can be certain there would be no significant change in the way business is done in Washington, Ward added. If limited government is to be restored, and the Constitution preserved, Jeb Bush simply cannot be given access to the White House. Genuine conservatives know this.

Ward slammed Bush for backing Common Core and accused him of benefiting from President Barack Obamas health-care law.

While crony-capitalism is nearly a fact of big-party politics, its totally incompatible with the supreme law of the land, Ward said. Our next president needs to put the Constitution first at all costs. Nothing has made this fact clearer than the Obama presidency."

Wards group has launched a website attacking Bushs 2016 ambitions.
