Well said!
“Didn’t we fight a revolution to rid ourselves of monarchy? Just what we need.. another Bush RINO. Then what? Hillary?”

“Enough already!”
Indeed!
They know this of course and why they are pushing for Palin not to run. If she runs and wins the Bush family loses power for years....yet that threat is still not big enough to get Jeb to run because the risk of him running and losing in a landslide in the primaries is much bigger and could destroy the Bush family for all time.
More evidence of the decline of NR since Buckley died. There is no way any respectable Conservative can look at open borders Bush and think he is a good thing.
Urk! Need brainscrub to remove that image!
NOOOOO!
Jeb is married to a native of Mexico (the daughter of a migrant worker) and his nieces and nephews are mixed blood. And before you scream “ethnocentric bigot” at me, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. But that fact — and items 1 and 2 – DO predispose him to a warm and fuzzy feeling for folks from south of the Rio Grande.
And if — in some strange and metastasizing American desire for a new royal family dynasty — Jeb or his son should win the White House in some future presidential beauty contest designed to divert the American electorate every four years, I’d bet that HIS activities toward this alien invasion will make W’s look like an isolationist.
Any vestige of European culture — the culture MY great-grandparents and probably yours brought here after standing in line at places like Ellis Island, being interrogated, deloused and recorded — will be a distant memory – IF it’s remembered at all.
Jeb comes from another Southern state. If he was the nominee, he’d carry the South. And the Midwest and Mountain West states. And he doesn’t grate people like his Texas brother. We haven’t seen the end of the Bushes in national politics yet.
Lots of posters here would rather see Obama re-elected than see Jeb win the White House.
Thank you Reverend Jackson.
carry the South? the bush name is mud in the south.
Too bad the Bushes and Kennedys didn’t intermarry. Then we could have a two-family system instead of a two-party system. The same Progressive policies either way.
WE WANT OBAMA OUT!!!
Do you think Terri Schiavo will be voting for him?
Jeb would also make the GOp defend their policies over the last 22 years. Which are terrible. Defend NAFTA, WTO, new world order, open borders, outsourcing, no child left behind, privatizing Social security, the Iraq war, the Afgan war, homeland security, gitmo, patriot act, and on and on and on.
the only type og rep that can win in 2012 is someone that does not have any ties to Bush or his polices. Obama wants the gop candidate to have to defend Bush's policies he doesn't want to have defend his own.
An outsider that can point to thier disagreement with Bush and Obama and call for a new path or a return to an old path like Reaganism.
this is why the midterms worked. The gop did not run on Bush's policies. Thanks to the TEA party and people like Gov Palin the theme for 2010 was more Reaganism less Bush.
Jeb will lose in a landslide to Obama. Because Jeb will be seen and Geroge W and George HW Bush no matter who and what his polices are.
I believe she’s rather cold on the idea.
“Jeb comes from another Southern state. If he was the nominee, he’d carry the South.”
I have to disagree with you there. I think his regional traction would be more along the East coast than along the South. I think Huckabee would beat him in most of the South, and I am not impressed with Huckabee strength either.
I do agree that we are not done with the Bush family’s political involvement yet. We still get the occasional boozy belch from the Kennedys, after all. But we do get closer each and every day.
No. No. No. Bush stood by sucking his thumbs while Terri Schiavo was murdered. He couldn’t find the courage to save her life.
Rich is just following his orders from his bosses in the Bilderberger Group.
