The Existential Threat of Bushism
American Spectator ^ | July 08, 2009 | Robert Stacy McCain

Posted on 07/08/2009 8:31:47 PM PDT by RobinMasters

Tucker Carlson pronounces Jeb Bush "the Future of the Republican Party," which is rather like saying that hamburgers are the future of cows.

I've been warning about The Jeb Menace since before the last election. Nov. 1, 2008:

Palin is being sabotaged by Republicans who are trying to scramble aboard the Jeb Bush 2012 bandwagon.

No, Jeb is a nonstarter as far as I’m concerned.

I’d take Jeb over Romney any time, but Jeb’s no Palin. And we need Palin.

No more Bushes or Clintons in the White House. Put it in the Constitution, just to be safe.

Jeb seems like a very nice guy and he mostly likely is a very good man. But no more Bushes....please.

Jeb is doomed by his father and brother. He should run for U.S. Senate from Florida if he cared about the party or the conservative movement.

Jeb Bush just might be to us Conservatives and Republicans what Hillary Clinton was to the Democrats up until last year - the inevitable establishment candidate that has to have his inevitability taken away by force by Sarah Palin - just as Barack Obama did to Hillary.

Jeb may be the best of the Bushes, but I've had enough fiscal liberal republicans.

I'll vote for him over Obama, McCain, or Romney, but that's like me saying I'd vote to get slapped in the face instead of being punched in the gut, kneed in the face, or kicked in the groin.

Jeb would be a green, shamnesty, corporatist, land grabbing, Royal Rockefeller nightmare. This is what he was in Florida. Just recently he was moaning that the GOP has been losing big because they aren't liberal enough, then just yesterday there was was an article with him shilling for the shamnesty legislation - again.

Jesse Jackson is right for once: "Stay outta da Bushes."

I say this as a Floridian and a former Young Republican who was a member of several of his Broward committees during his first election.

If another Bush is the best the RNC can do in 2012 then if will be safe to say that the party has officially jumped the shark.

Please not another Bush.

But at least Jeb is backing Rubio over the Rino Christ in Florida.

Add obama, and your list will be perfect.

Hven’t we had enough of the Bushes?

Yet half the people who are complaining about Jeb now will wind up lecturing the rest of us on why we have to support him.

Fortunately there are no Obamii on the horizon to run for president that I can think of. The girls are too young, and God Forbid that the wife decides it would be fun to be Prez. She’s too busy making inappropriate clothing choices for her appearances before their subjects.

Yes, and he said the GOP should not change that stance.
Just read a good interview he gave.

Another Bush at the top will shove the Republican Party deep into the dirt. They do pretty well as governors of states but turn into proper Bushes at the national level. None of them have studied Economics. None of them have any notion of how the free market works or that government-market doesn’t.

The RINOs are busy trashing Palin, and they’ll do the same to any other real conservative candidate. But a Republican primary with many returnees from 2008 will be a formula to allow the blue states to elect another Bush. Palin and Huckabee would split the conservative vote, and also Romney, no matter how much some the Romney haters want to call him a liberal. He received more conservative votes than McCain, from people who considered themselves to be conservatives voting for a conservative (Romney).

Conservatives better settle on a candidate early, or the vote splitting will hand it to Jeb or some other RINO, just as it was handled to McCain last year.

Why this chatter about Jeb Bush? From what I’ve read of him, he’s not interested in the Presidency. Are there people who are just trying to deepen the rift between conservatives and the Republican Party with the intention of making them WANT to go third party? The only person that would help is That One, so who’s behind this push for Jeb Bush?
