MIAMI — When Jeb Bush left office four years ago, his public appearances were as scarce as bi-partisan man hugs.

He didn't want to upstage his successor in the governor's mansion nor his brother in the White House. Instead, he quietly cashed in by joining corporate boards and an elite speakers bureau, penned policy essays and gave infrequent interviews to conservative media.

But in recent months, as the Republican Party of Florida has grappled with a leadership vacuum, Bush's political profile has grown as fast as the national deficit ...

Maybe a cabinet job, but not President or Vice President.

I don’t mind if another Bush runs, like maybe Jenna in 2028.

Man we’re going to have a SLEW of candidates in 2012.

Palin 2012.

I have no particular objections to the performances of the other Bushes as presidents. I do object to family dynasties, especially in a country with over 300,000,000 people. Its not as if therre aren’t others out there.

We need someone who is a true conservative, and I do not trust the Bush family any more. Not only do they wobble on conservative core principles, but they commit cardinal sins of hiring B and C players and then become stubbornly loyal to them. We need an A-plus conservative who is dedicated to having nothing but A-plus players in every appointment they can make.

“What is it with this family, they think they’re the Kennedys? ...”

My exact reaction. Enough of the political royalty. Jeb, your family is wealthy, you’ll be ok, go start a business and be productive.

No.

No more Clintons, no more Bushes, no more Marxists...

Conservative or Bust in 2012.

Thank you for exactly saying what I thought when I saw this article. These family dynasties are like monarchies without the pomp and circumstance.

Glad to see I’m in agreement with a lot of my Freeper brothers and sisters. No more Bushes!

It will never never never happen. Jeb Bush won’t be running against a democrat, he’ll be running against his brother, and multibillions have been spent already on that campaign.

“Mission Accomplished” was a major screwup without the lies.

I will never vote for another Bush as long as I live. America does not need another globalist traitor in the White House.

NO MORE BUSHES! They are ALL part of the elite, progressive, NWO agenda.

Don’t get me wrong, I liked GW Bush, but he did his fair share of putting us on the path we’re on now.

NO THANK YOU!!
