Jeb Bush pandered to the religious right in a commencement address at Liberty University.

Charging that “the Christian voice” isn’t heard enough in the world, the Republican White House prospect lashed out at the Democratic president’s administration for “demanding obedience in complete disregard of religious conscience.”

“The present administration is supporting the use of coercive federal power. What should be easy calls in favor of religious freedom have instead become an aggressive stance against it,” Bush told an estimated 34,000 gathered for a graduation ceremony.

“Somebody here is being small-minded and intolerant, and it sure isn’t the nuns, ministers, and laymen and women who ask only to live and practice their faith,” he said. Bush was speaking inside a packed football stadium at Liberty University, an institution founded by the late conservative culture warrior, Rev. Jerry Falwell.

    Sorry, Jeb, couldn’t hear you over all the “Christian Voices” whining about how they are oppressed.

      He puts any credibility he might have had at serious risk with a statement like that.

        After his saying that his foreign policy adviser is his brother, I think it is very generous of you to grant him even the possiblity of credibility.

          Well, I’m a generous guy.

        He also said in the same speech words that could be interpreted as ‘the bible trumps the constitution’. I think he is losing his ability to be a viable candidate, rapidly.

    :”Jeb panders.” He’s a republican in Texas. It’s what they do.

    kiss an evangelical ass and the lips turn to an interesting shade of hate and intolerance. It’s all for panders (and not the bear) an hate and narcissism and, oh hell, this shit never stops and the american voter seems to swallow it hook line and sinker.

    Another reason to pull that tax exemption.

    Jeb Bush just moved himself from the ‘practical’ side of Republican politics to the ‘Ted Cruz’ crazy side. I think we now have one less viable candidate for president in the Republican camp.
