Bush 2012: Jeb Bush should run now, for at least eight reasons (Huh?!)

The National Review ^ | February 7, 2011 | Rich Lowry

Rich either doesn't know the difference between a conservative and a RINO, or is a closet RINO himself. This isn't Central or South America: We're not a banana republic where the same families take turns "ruling" the country.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo.....don’t need any more Bushes......need to stay out of the Bushes.....they need pruning.

Lately, Lowry has been acting like one of those pod people............

[Mr. Mojo]

Give it a rest, Lowry. We’re done with the open-borders, transnationalist Bushes.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Nooooooooooo!

[Nonstatist]

Never. 3 Bushes in one lifetime is unacceptble. The last one gave us Obambi.

[Regulator]

Jeb Bush is a conservative?

Actually he's a coward.

Three words:

Terri Schindler Schiavo

[Prokopton]

Jeb can unite the party. Jeb probably has a better chance to unite the establishment and Tea Party wings of the GOP than anyone else,

I can't believe anyone could say this without first ingesting a significant amount of a mind altering substance.

[4rcane]

do we even want to bridge tea party with establishment? Theres only a few thousand establishment voters. Establishment need to change, we don’t want a bridge

[pissant]

A limp rag has more structure than Lowry’s wrists.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Or with a straight face...

Wavy Gravy to Rich: "Please don't take the brown acid!"

It makes you sound like a loon....

Here’s the one and only real reason why Jeb Bush should not wait until 2016 if he aspires to the Presidency:

-In 2016 an immensely popular Republican President will be running for re-election and there will be NO oxygen in the air for any challenger. Therefore, a wait until 2016 is really a wait until 2020, and by then the landscape will have so changed that Jeb Bush will come across as an unelectable Harold Stassen.

I think they’re seeing that their white bread & mayonnaise sandwich candidates like Mitt and Tiny Tim aren’t getting any traction, so why not go back to something that’s already worked for them?

[Pining_4_TX]

Didn’t we fight a revolution to rid ourselves of monarchy? Just what we need.. another Bush RINO. Then what? Hillary? Enough already!

[Psalm 144]

As governor Jeb Bush was punked by a district court judge who was effecting a judicial murder.

If he can be punked by a district court judge, he would not stand a chance against real adversaries.

Setting aside all ideological issues, he is too weak for the job.

Not just no, but HELL no.

[unseen1]

the single biggest reason why Jeb will not run. Because he knows he can never win the primary and his receiving 10% or less of the GOP vote will destroy the Bush families political power forever. It is a risk that is too big for Jeb to take. If he doesn't run the bush family name carries great weight in RINO circles. If he does and fails badly his family will never be a power in the gop again.

Me I hope he runs and he gets trounced in the primary so we can move on for Bush forevermore.

[pissant]

I haven’t seen anyone as eager to fellate a RINO since Hannity.

[Deagle]

Rich, just shut up and go away for about 12 years or so...
