Jeb, you stay in the Bushes. Don't think about occupying the White House.

Speculation that a late challenger might still emerge in the increasingly bitter race for the Republican presidential nomination is set to surge after former Florida governor Jeb Bush made remarks criticising the current field.
Bush, who is the brother of President George W Bush and son of President George Bush Sr, is a beloved figure among many conservatives who see him as a strong and charismatic leader who is popular in the must-win swing state of Florida.
That contrasts with a widespread unease among many Republican leaders and grassroots activists with the remaining crop of Republican candidates and the vitriolic nature of the fight between frontrunner Mitt Romney and his main challengers Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich.
In answers to questions from the audience after a speech in Dallas on Thursday, Bush cautioned the remaining Republican campaigns from drifting so far to the right that they put off the key independent voters needed to beat President Barack Obama in November.
"I think it's important for the candidates to recognise though they have to appeal to primary voters, and not turn off independent voters that will be part of a winning coalition," Bush told the audience according to CBS news.
Bush also directly took on the strident tone of recent Republican debates, accusing participants of scare-mongering. "I used to be a conservative and I watch these debates and I'm wondering, I don't think I've changed, but it's a little troubling sometimes when people are appealing to people's fears and emotion rather than trying to get them to look over the horizon for a broader perspective and that's kind of where we are," he said according to Fox News.

This is just the Globalists saying to the Republicans: "It's alright, we,ll stick with Bambi."
Same way the hard left sees poor people.....they are just a means to an end. They know perfectly well that the minimum wage throws poor people out of work....that is their goal!
stupid Guardian.... No more BUSHES -——EVER
Thanks, unkus!
Yep, they took over from within, without a shot fired — (other than the shots from BO and Holder’s Fast and Furious program). Careful planning and biding their time. I feel like I am in the “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” movie. Every day, bits and pieces of the country fall.

The left could care less about what they call a ‘livable wage” . They use the Minimum Wage as another tool to keep control of the fools. The Minimum Wage is always brought up by the lefty candidates during campaigns.
You’re exactly right, Borax Queen. We are now “Occupied’. If 0bama wins in Nov., we will be in danger if we express ourselves as we are doing here tonight.
May God have mercy on the United States.
:(((
BTTT
Minimum wage increases throw lower income with few transferable skills out of work and onto welfare rolls. proven fact.
its getting late. im missing words and my keyboard is broken.

nyet
The UK Guardian guessing again. That rag has NO credibility.
Bush, Palin, Christie, whomever, I’m against a selected ‘other’.
I think the nomination should go to someone who had what it takes to enter the primary and fight for it.
Welcome aboard! Hope your stay is both pleasant as well as informative over time.
Thanks

Not me. I won’t vote for another squishy moderate Bush. 2 is too many. 3 is indefensible.
Why does this idea keep being floated? Is there actual polling data to suggest Jeb Bush would be able to defeat Obama? Nothing against Jeb, but given the unpopularity his brother left office with I just can’t imagine he’d be a formidable challenger in the least.
This just doesn’t make any sense to me.
I can see things heat up sometimes. I try to avoid it for the most part.
