Jeb Bush Says He'd Consider Vice Presidency
Wall Street Journal ^ | April 20, 2012

Posted on 04/20/2012 8:27:01 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush says he'd consider running as vice president with Mitt Romney, but doubts he'll ever be asked.

Bush tells the conservative website Newsmax that Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is "probably the best" choice to share the ticket with Romney, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee. Bush said he hopes the freshman senator is offered the No. 2 slot and accepts it.

Rubio has said repeatedly that he isn't interested in leaving the Senate.

Rubio could stop Obama's reelection all by himself. All he'd have to do is state,

"I would welcome the opportunity to be selected as our parties vp, HOWEVER I like the Usurper in the White House am not a Natural Born Citizen so like Obama am not eligible."

HE is not picking the next VP. The same elitists who rammed his nomination through will tell him who will be on that ticket! They think we’re so damned dumb! It will be the final straw for me.

Romney “sez” he’ll vote no for any kind of amnesty.

Jeb on the ticket...how long before he sweet talks Romney into a flip-flop.

Worse yet, if Jeb gets to be POTUS 46, you’ll get amnesty (or an extension of Obama’s “hands off” approach on steroids).

The critic claimed Palin lost McCain the race (BS) but Jeb will turn me off absolutely.

They got us as hostages now.

Here it comes. They (the GOP-E) are looking forward to sixteen years of RINO presidency. Four years of Obama or sixteen years of RINO rule. Both guaranteed to land this country in exactly the same place. Marxist communist for four more years or Fabian socialists for sixteen years. There will not be a conservative left in any office of govt. anywhere in this country.

“Could they possibly be that stupid or is it that they have no respect for we the American people at all.”

The latter, and with some reason. If conservatives truly were critical thinkers, observant and energetic, the Republican Party would have been abandoned several years ago. The GOP is the hole in our bucket, and we keep pouring water into it wondering when it will fill.

Jeb would be political suicide for VP.

But George W. Obama...really dude??? He didn’t do everything right...but he ain’t Obama.

I think it’s fair. Besides everything else, he put Obama in office. And he doesn’t regret it. His father and his brother go visit Obama and crack jokes. George W. Obama. He deserves it.

right, just what America wants, another Bush in the White House. They were so impressed with the last one that they elected a dog eating, Muslim from Kenya instead of the republican.

This stinks to high heaven of the establishment of a permanent rich elite ruling class.

I really do not care who Romney picks, I’m staying home. A people geet the leaders it deserves, no reason for me to vote when there isn’t anyone to vote for.

Let the republic crash and burn, we can repair it afterwards.

I guarantee JEB won’t be able to sweet talk etch-a-sketch into anything he isn’t already planning to do. Romney wanted amnesty before this election cycle and he will want amnesty after election day. He will do it very slyly, in a way that he can blame the courts or some other entity (see gay marriage in Massachusetts for an example).

But if Romney becomes president, there will be amnesty. The dems and RINOs in Congress will join forces to make it a certainty. I can just see Romney at the Dream Act and Amnesty Bill signing ceremony, telling jokes and laughing it up with Pelosi, Reid, McConnell and Boehner. That is why it is so important to kick as many RINOs (Mitch McConnell) out as we can.

No, Romney doesn’t say that anymore. Now he says he’ll back the ‘Republican DREAM Act’ (Rubio’s baby). The GOP is just as bad as the Dems—a hair slower in how they’ll ruin the country, but even less honest about it.
