Jeb Bush is back in the spotlight — and thinking about 2016
The Washington Post ^ | March 5, 2013 | Peter Wallsten and David Nakamura,

Posted on 03/05/2013 9:00:00 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who has remained on the sidelines since his older brother left the White House with dismal ratings four years ago, has jumped back into the political fray this week with a new book, wall-to-wall television interviews and a round of public speaking engagements.

His appearances mark a change in approach for Bush, 60, who has operated as more of a Republican elder statesman since leaving Tallahassee in 2007 but is now clearly considering a run for the White House.

  I'd be OK with 3 or 4 true conservatives drawing straws with the short straw determining the one to go against the moderates. If that conservative dropped out, then the remaining candidates would draw straws again.

This exemplifies why the Republican Party is DEAD! Would Jeb do anything to repudiate the Big Government policies and the legacies of his brother and father - namely bailouts and abridgments of our freedoms? Patriot Act, anyone?

2016 script

GOP-e forces Jeb down our throats.

Conservatives decry yet another RINO.

Hillary wins the election.

The rapid US downfall continues unabated.

It is all part of the plan, folks.

Bush=Rove Rove=Loser
What you won’t hear from guys like Bush is;

When the democrats decided to remove God or any reference to Our Creator at their 2012 convention. They also demonstrated they are no longer the democratic party of your father’s father. They have become a hyphenated radical unit and should be known as Demo-Coms dedicated to the establishment of a collective idealism using the device of PCP, politically correct politics, to modify behavior and shed beliefs that they believe would impede remaking their concept of the perfect utopian state. That is hardly democratic because the word democrat idealizes the individual voice.

But Rove, GOPES (GOP Elite Snobs) and RINOS lack the capacity or the understanding or the courage to point to the historic radicalization that occured at that moment and use it politically. Worse yet they are unwilling and unable to forthrightly defend what the demo-coms have set out to destroy and some are even comming up with their own version of PCP . Anyone preaching PCP is going down the poisonous road to oblivion . Following a policy of PCP.

Politically Correct Politics which the hyphenated democrat party, the Demo-Coms,is using is flat out wrong. Worse yet moral questions such as marriage, sexual practices, family constituency and particularly beliefs those of containing Judeo Christian tenets are being assulted and not defended. Republicans and GOPES jumping on this PCP bandwagon offer a majority of voters no choice in the direction this country is to take. They are “me too Republicans”

Part of the PCP messaging when used by the Demo-Coms. Revert to using such terms as: Afro-American, Hispanic-American, Asian-American, White-American, Rich-American ,Gay-American. These are more than simply nouns but vehicles used to separate US from each other.Beside separating US from our money the Demo-Coms demand we become adhearents to a system without the constituional constraints on government. Thus surrendering our protections from governmental abuses and excessive bureacracy to the will of a bureaucratic collective which is no longer answerable to the average citizen. Republicans seem incapable of seizing on issues which cross into the lives and pocketbooks of Americans who are black,brown,yellow,red, green or that ever color or even present the issues as affecting all Americans First.

Sadly for the Republicans God remains in Limbo

Rove has a record of being incapable of responding and conducting winning campaigns where he’s given “creds from those seeking to destroy political opposition. Consider the missed opportunities offered by the 2012 election.http://www.theusmat.com/

Not Jeb, not Christie, and not another round with Romney or McCain. Let’s try something new and unite early behind a conservative.

Jeb Bush will be the Republican nominee in 2016. He is the Nest In Line to carry the Republican torch.There is no conservative that has made the start. Bush has been putting out his markers for a long time. He is the establishment candidate and will be the Republican candidate. Conservatives are trapped in the Republican P\arty always thinking they can “capture” the Party or “reform” it. They can do neither. It is an exclusive rockefeller club that allows conservatives to think they belong so that the party can have a believable number of members.

Conservatives are taken for granted by the GOP in the same manner that blacks and single women are taken for granted by the communist democrats...

Jeb is the next in line for the GOP just like a Mafia hierarchy! One day the real story on the Bush Clan and their criminality will be known.
