I stand with Sarah.
“I am endorsing Mitt Romney for our Party¹s nomination,” Bush announced Wednesday. “We face huge challenges, and we need a leader who understands the economy, recognizes more government regulation is not the answer, believes in entrepreneurial capitalism and works to ensure that all Americans have the opportunity to succeed . . . AND WILL CHOOSE ME AS HIS RUNNING MATE.”
Romney sure has a way of attracting scum to support him doesn’t he..I’d rather support Sarah Palin then Jeb Bush. Enough of this RINO BS I a sick of these elitist scum trashing us behind our backs
Just another hack using Sarah’s name to get people to click on his silly article.
Really, she should charge royalties for the use of her name.
Maybe also a little political mischief, reminding Palin fans how much the Romniac establishment detests them, to make sure they sit out this November.
Jeb is an idiot.
“....former Florida Governor and Republican Party heavyweight Jeb Bush endorsed Mitt Romney”
He is a 250 pound heavyweight. I wish he would shut up and spend some time at the gym.
NO ONE WILL VOTE FOR ROMNEY except Democrats and Dog Abusers:
Mitt Romney wins much coveted Jimmy Carter endorsement
Gore Praises Romney's 'Climate Protection Plan'
Carville(D):
"It's a feel-good story, this Romney thing.
Romney is an ascendant guy."
Sen. John Kerry (D) to Don Imus on RomneyCARE:
"I like this health care bill".
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D) on RomneyCARE:
"To come up with a bipartisan plan in this polarized environment is commendable."
Jeb Bush is about as appealing as a 70 year old K-Ration, Sarah will back-hand his RINO ass and send him to bed without any dessert.
I stand with Sarah!
To Hell with the GOP-NEOWHIGS!
Thats the Bushs' kind of 'conservative'.
If you can judge a person by their enemies, then Sarah Palin is doing pretty well.
We face the worst crisis since at least the Civil War. We need a fearless leader we can all rally around enthusiastically. She could have been the one. But the way she withdrew left a lot of scars on her supporters. My $100 advance copy of “The Undefeated” arrived a couple of days before she unceremoniously withdrew. So much for “UNdefeated”.
At least some of the smears that ultimately brought down Palin had Romney surrogates as the source. Romney has successfully smeared all comers, but his slimy tactics have alienated the base. He just can’t close the deal, and the wreckage he has left in his wake means he probably never will. He’s still the odds on favorite to win the nomination, but it won’t be a united party behind him.
That said, it’s interesting to see how the attacks on Palin have started back up. There is no need to attack someone who has already been destroyed. Perhaps the party elite are starting to worry a deadlocked convention might turn to her in spite of everything they have done to destroy her.
Does anyone smell desperation? It is obvious Romney needs all the help he can get!
I used to really like Jeb. Two things bothered me. First, during the death of Terry Schiavo, the fact that he didn’t do more. I know, he thought he did all he could within the law. But he could have at least stood with the family, maybe shared a prayer with them during the vigil. Something.
That was when I thought, the magic is gone from this man. He may not know it yet.
The final confirmation for me was when he attacked Arizona for its efforts to enforce immigration law in the face of an epidemic of kidnappings among illegals, and murders of ranchers by illegals. I expect him to understand rule of law. He blew it again.
So, there is no excitement here for a Jeb Bush presidency. If Romney wants to win over the conservatives, Jeb is the wrong guy, smart and articulate though he certainly is. Romney may not care about that, though; he probably calculates that conservatives have no choice but to back him. These guys have purposely distanced themselves from conservatives, they are surrounded by people who have heaped scorn on us, Palin, the tea party, but they expect us to line up and vote them in like good little kids.
Given what she did to the Corrupt Bastards Club and having "Neil" in the family can ya wonder why they might be on edge? What else do they have to hide? It is also the New England Blue Bloods Ivy league Yuppies vs. The American West Annie Oakley / Ronald Reagan I am going West mentality. They want to run the machine, Sarah wants you to create your own. Can't have that wouldn't be prudent...
BTW, I am gonna try to be nice here but, Barbara is reaching a point where if she really keeps it up, I think we are gonna have to tell her what we really think about her...
If Romney picked Jeb as VP, that would get the Florida majority vote and that’s vitally important. It would also make the elder Bush and Barbara happy. It’s a real possibility.
Terrible.
JEB BUSH LET THE DARK SIDE STARVE TERRI SCHIAVO TO DEATH
It was six years ago today, March 31, 2005, that 41-year-old Terri Schiavo succumbed to 13 days of court-ordered dehydration and starvation under the watchful eyes of a security guard posted nearby.
Thousands of protesters were gathered outside her Pinellas Park, Fla., hospice, surveilled by rooftop sharpshooters paid for by the hospice at a cost of $98,162.

Schiavo’s estranged husband, Michael Schiavo, and his attorney took turns with her parents and siblings and their attorney holding a bedside vigil during what right-to-die advocates called her “death process,” which was triggered by the court-ordered removal of her feeding tube and accompanying ban on oral hydration and nutrition on March 18, 2005.
Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Court Judge George Greer’s latest death order concluded an 11-year tug of war over Schiavo’s life waged by divided family members, and came despite the unprecedented intervention of first the Florida Legislature and Gov. Jeb Bush, and then Congress and President George W. Bush.
Michael Schiavo alleged his wife, who had no written advance directive in place when she mysteriously collapsed at the age of 26, suffered cardiac arrest and sustained a brain injury, would not want to live in her incapacitated state.
Schiavo’s parents and siblings, who suspect Michael Schiavo had something to do with Terri’s collapse, disputed his claim and argued the Catholic woman valued life and would have benefited from rehabilitation and range-of-motion therapy she was denied for 12 years by legal guardian Michael Schiavo.
Contrary to media reports, Schiavo was neither brain dead, dying, in a coma nor kept alive artificially by machines. The brain-injured woman breathed on her own and appeared cognitively responsive in video taken during a 2002 court-ordered neurological evaluation.
Pinellas-Pasco County Chief medical examiner Jon Thogmartin who performed an autopsy on Schiavo’s body said it was a “miracle” she survived over an hour without a measurable blood pressure the morning she collapsed before paramedics succeeded in resuscitating her.
He further found it remarkable she lived 15 years after this event, and even more remarkable she endured “marked dehydration” for nearly two weeks before her heart gave out. He called it a “testament” to her strong heart and estimated she would have lived another decade if she had not been dehydrated to death.
Per another Greer court order, no video was allowed to be taken of Schiavo over the 13 days of her “death process,” just as cameras had been barred from her room for the prior five years in which she had resided at hospice.
As right-to-life and right-to-die advocates, medical experts, political pundits and news commentators debated the morality of death by dehydration across the television airwaves around the clock, two divergent versions of her last hours were offered by the eyewitnesses.
Michael Schiavo and his right-to-die activist-attorney, George Felos, variously described her as “peaceful,” “beautiful,” and free of pain.
In stark contrast, Schiavo’s parents, siblings and their spiritual adviser characterized her as appearing “ghoulish,” “in deep distress and suffering” and “fighting like hell.”
Father Frank Pavone described the expression on Schiavo’s face in her final hour as “a combination of dreaded fear and sadness.” He recalled, “Her eyes were oscillating back and forth in a way that was just frightening.”
“This death was not for the siblings and spouse and parents; this was for Terri,” Felos pronounced when it was over. “She has a right to die peaceably in a loving setting and with dignity.”
Schiavo’s death represents a victory for the right-to-die movement as it strives to establish a best-interest standard, in which judges become the arbiters of life and death for the incapacitated who cannot speak for themselves.
The right to die through the refusal of medical treatment was recognized by the New Jersey Supreme Court in 1975 as a fundamental right to privacy for the terminally ill. Then in 1990 both the U.S. Supreme Court and the Florida Supreme Court acquiesced to the removal of artificially provided sustenance, or feeding tubes, from those in terminal conditions who had provided “clear and convincing” evidence of their wishes.
For right-to-die proponents, the best-interest standard substitutes for clear and convincing evidence.
Felos’ original 1998 petition for the removal of Schiavo’s feeding tube recommended that if Judge Greer was not persuaded that Michael Schiavo’s testimony of newly recollected conversations he allegedly had with his wife prior to her brain injury provided clear and convincing evidence of a wish to die, then the court should act in the best interest of a woman who was in a condition in which “public consensus” holds she would not want to remain alive.
The mantra of pro-death supporters throughout Schiavo v. Schindler was, “Let her die.”
“But she wasn’t dying,” Schiavo’s brother, Bobby Schindler, recently commented to WND. “Hers was a forced death. She was forced to die through the removal of food and water. It wasn’t ‘beautiful’ or ‘peaceful.’ It was barbaric.”
Long before “Terri Schiavo” became a household name, WND brought her plight to the attention of the nation and the world in a Nov. 13, 2002 story by WND news editor Diana Lynne. It would be the first of nearly 500 stories published by WND, ultimately elevating to the No. 1 story in the nation and the world in the days leading up to and following her death.
Lynne was so moved by her involvement in the story, she later authored “Terri’s Story: The Court-Ordered Death of an American Woman” for WND Books.
If Mitt wins he must be primaried out after his first term or we may as well have stuck it out with Obama.
