Sen. Graham: Jeb Bush is best possible pick to be Romney’s running mate
The Hill ^ | May 20 2012 | The Hill

Posted on 05/26/2012 11:43:16 AM PDT by WilliamIII

Jeb Bush’s name keeps floating up in discussions about candidates to run on the ticket with Mitt Romney, despite Bush’s efforts to douse the talk.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says Bush would most help Romney.

“He’d be an outstanding pick. It’s up to Gov. Romney but if I had to recommend a single person it would be Jeb,” Graham told The Hill.

DeMint as VP would be much better!

I would tell that little faggot from South Carolina to KMA, except that the prospect might excite him. As other posters have said, “who cares” what Liddle Lindsey thinks?

Sure Mitt-Witt, pick Jeb, but first ask Terri Schiavo what she thinks about it.

Oh wait, you can’t: she’s dead due to Fat Boy losing his balls.

"Jeb Bush is best possible pick to be Romney’s running mate"
I believe that there is a typo in that. Left out an 'R' in the 6th word.


You're a funny fellow, I like you already. LOL

“.........They’re no longer the Grand Old Party of yesterday.. but rather have sold their souls, embracing linguine spined moderates like Mittens.”
Tell that to folks such as Richard Mourdock in Indiana, Deb Fischer in Nebraska, Sarah Steelman in Missouri, Josh Mandel in Ohio, Ted Cruz in Texas, Jeff Flake in Arizona and the voters who have (or will) vote for them to be their Republican candidate for US Senate.
We’re taking the Republican party back and will not be discouraged by defeatists.


Oh get on board, while the h'orderves are fresh:

Thanks for this thread.

It is all well and good to vent against our sorry RINO Party, but now is the time for all good men and women to put Country above Party.

Let us put our time and energy to Conserving what is best in America!

I say that it is time to DUMP Romney, Nominate Rep. Allen West, R Sc., and get on with the business of defeating Incumbent Marxist Dictator Obama.

Nominee Allen West would nullify Obama’s Race Card, capture the pro-Military vote, provide us with a TRUE Conservative that is cleaner than a hounds tooth and smarter than any known economist, AND carry essential Florida in a landslide because he would be Florida’s CONSERVATIVE Favorite Son.

To those who still choose to be handcuffed to the Primary Rules made by the RNC, remember this: the RNC made the rules, and the RNC can change the rules.

Now that Romney has failed to earn more than a coin-flip poll rating against Obama, it is time to set him in his Prep School corner, and begin the Campaign for an OPEN Convention in Tampa.

Romney tried and failed in the Primary test run, and thus has proven to us that he cannot beat the worst White House Occupier EVER. It is time to DUMP Romney, BECAUSE of his sorry performance in the almost completed Primary Campaign.

We have plenty of time, as this is May, and the Tampa Convention is in August.

Instead of choosing to lose with Romney, let us choose to win with West!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What say all of you?

Do you have something remotely resembling a viable plan to do that?

There was either a Bush or Dole on every GOP ticket between 1976-2004. No thanks.

I was skimming comments fast and for a split second I thought ‘linguine’ was ‘lingerie’ (must be the Graham influence) ..... :-)

During the Dark Ages when the Black Death was decimating the European populations of the earth, crows and ravens, unlike buzzards, were less patient for carrion...

...when one was incapacitated enough from the pestilence so as to offer no resistance the black birds would swoop down in number to devour your still living flesh.

Hence the term “murder” of crows.

Crows and ravens are not so common in Africa where the native vultures are also aggressive and less likely to delay feasting until after last rites.

That’s all the USA needs for change and the ‘new world order’.

I only have seen our native ones. What disgusting looking creatures ...the buzzards. I don’t think I have seen vultures. ....now that I go through google images I think I have plus it seems (not you) some are sloppy in using vulture and buzzard interchangeably

Thank You and may God continue to bless our fallen heroes—a fate I avoided by dodging the Draft through joining the US Navy during the Vietnam War—the VC and NVA were no threat to me after that.
But I damn well appreciate and honor those who gave the full measure I didn't.

No, ol’ Strom had started moving leftward when he backed D.C. statehood c. 1981.

Buzzards are Turkeys and Vultures are Eagles is the common notion of ornithologists I believe.

The ones in Africa are almost raptors.

Essie May Washington-Williams asked him to—he knew it weren't never gonna happen but he did the good daddy schtick.

Even a solid conservative senator of one term has some bad votes-Strom was there forever!

The linguine spined term comes from El Rushbo.

Does Graham WANT Romney to lose, or is he just funning with people?
