He was the third Republican elected to the state's highest office and the only Republican in the state's history to be reelected. Governor Bush remained true to his conservative principles throughout his two terms – cutting $20 billion in taxes, vetoing more than $2.3 billion in earmarks and reducing the state government workforce by more than 13,000. His limited government approach help unleash one of the most robust economies in the nation, creating 1.4 million net new jobs and improving the state's credit ratings on Wall Street. http://www.iop.harvard.edu/jeb-bush |

View Quote It's a self fulfilling prophecy. When you think your vote doesn't count and you don't vote, and many others feel the same, the voting pool condenses and makes marketing to voting blocks easier. This makes it easier for wealthy candidates/parties/machines to win elections, and as we have seen, those people don't have the Constitution's best interest as heart. |

It's a race to the bottom. Will you vote for a candidate that will slow the descent or not? Any candidate that gets on the ballot has been bought and paid for by big money.
