Resistance is futile...

The biggest parlor game on Wall Street and in corporate boardrooms these days is guessing whether former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will run for president and save the GOP’s old establishment base from its rising populist wing.
The second most popular game is guessing what happens if Jeb says no.
Two dozen interviews about the 2016 race with unaligned GOP donors, financial executives and their Washington lobbyists turned up a consistent — and unusual — consolation candidate if Bush demurs, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie doesn't recover politically and no other establishment favorite gets nominated: Hillary Clinton.
Most donors and Wall Street titans have not lined up with any candidate yet, waiting for the field to take shape after the midterms. But if Bush doesn't run, the list of Republican saviors could be short. Some donors fear Christie will never overcome the Bridgegate scandal. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin so far seems more inclined to stay in the House than to run for president. And to varying degrees, other candidates — such as Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Govs. Scott Walker of Wisconsin and John Kasich of Ohio — are either unknown or untrusted

The Lear jet leftists expect to form the core of the global Green Inner Party. There they will continue to enjoy the finest foods and most advanced gadgets the world has to offer — while deciding your fate for you.
If you work very hard and show them your unwavering loyalty you may be permitted to join the global Green Outer Party. You will be allowed occasional servings of meat - and air conditioning on a rationed basis.
The rest of us will eat insects, and swelter — for the good of the planet.
Someone with long experience told me about 10 years ago: “America is not producing smart people any longer”.
I’m not against the Bushes, Romneys etc based on conservative principles. I just think the whole country is being led by cowardly idiots who wouldn’t know how to explain anything to a citizen if their life depended on it.
These people all believe their own politically correct BS and that is a prescription for disaster.
Plan A: Jeb Bush
Plan B: Hillary Clinton
Thank goodness those ‘job creators’ are on our side.

Wall Street, the Kochs, etc just use us to get what they want. They would throw us under the bus in a heartbeat if it suit them.
This article is a lie - actually they are already nuts up for whatever Democrat runs.
The lie that Wall Street is all a bunch of Republicans is a lie that is pushed by Wall Street and the Democrats, themselves.
You are so correct. Amerika has become an Idiocracy (less fictional by the day).
Now drink your Brawndo like a good citizen.

No surprise, Crony capitalist one-worlders know their own.
Someone on FreeRepublic told me that he thought that Leon Panetta will be the Democrat candidate. That is a truly dangerous thought.
Honestly...if the election came down to Hillary versus Jeb....I am not sure I could stop myself from voting for Hillary.
Because at that point, we might just as well accelerate the total descent into the Socialist abyss rather than dilly-dallying around.

I am. Four successive administrations of idiots who think like them have brought us to where we are today. We don’t need a fifth.
We need to sweep career politicians from Washington and that means all of the above plus the Clintons.
What a racist headline.
Last time I checked they were giving about 2:1 to dems. Their idea is to have some token "opposition" but also to appear diverse.
There will never be a non-progressive President again without tar, feather and scope, sight.
I’ve being saying long before grasshoppers were invented by Albore.
I knew a Russian immigrant in a previous life. He was very industrious and moved on to start his own highly successful business after spending a few years with me in corporate life. He told me the old Soviet Union had a policy of making vodka both cheaper and easier to get than safe drinking water because a drunk populace was a stupid populace and a stupid populace was far easier to control.
I agree, but most people have more to lose then me.
