For those out there loving the current Republican race but worrying that it has become somewhat orthodox in appearance and stable in candidates and support numbers, fear not: ABC News’ Jonathan Karl has the blind item for you. In the most mysterious and, for the GOP, worrisome dispatch on the Republican field in a while, Karl reports that a “prominent Republican senator” told him that the Party will not stand for a Mitt Romney loss in Michigan, and that he expects a result like that to lead the Senator to “publicly call for the party to find a new candidate,” likely former Florida Governor Jeb Bush.

GWB did untold damage to the Republican Party! First, he began with the bogus premise of: “Compassionate Conservatism.” Conservatism is ALWAYS compassionate!
Secondly, he reached out to the Democrats time and time again, while completely ignoring his base!
Thirdly, he never defended himself or his positions...at least in a meaningful way. He in turn made the entire GOP look pathetic and weak!
Sorry, but I don't want to see another New World Order, weak-arse Bush occupying the Oval Office...EVER!
As the two hundred year old American political structure collapses into a formless chaos the only question remaining being: when will the actual shooting start?
I’d bet on it.
No. No to Jeb Bush. No to Mitt Romney. And No to the GOP if they insist on foisting off either of those onto us.
It's becoming increasingly clear the Republican establishment genuinely wants to lose in 2012.
I have hunches as to why, such as the inevitability of a complete collapse in America, and the GOP-e doesn't want it on thier watch.
Ahh, you beat me to it - that little worm.....(not you, lindsey)
What the establishment is basically saying is:
The primaries are not really a contest. If our candidate “wins” you should rally behind him/her. If our candidate is going to lose we’ll get a new one. Screw you. You’re just votes to us.
This is why Romney isn’t going to let this happen. He will win Michigan even if it’s by chicanery. There will be two or three large precincts that won’t report for several hours if it looks like it will be close between him and Santorum, and then lo and behold, they’ll find just the right amount to put Romney over the top.
It’s hard to know who to hate without a scorecard.
I’d like the list of why Jeb Bush is so evil. Spare me the crap about his family, just the facts, ma’am. On Jeb.
And btw I think the whole discussion of Jeb Bush is pointless at this time.
I don't trust anything I hear or read from ABC Snooze.
Re: your Tag
So many mouthbreathing halfwits on this website have chastised me for condemning RINO candidates. “We need to support the RINOs so we can control the Senate/House.
I’ve actually had one moron state that “we need a candidate that is popular with the late night television hosts (Leno, Letterman, etc...).
I guess we’ve become an Idiocracy!
You nailed it. They are as slick as the dems. They are in fact the same.
We know the GOP-E are a bunch of low-brow ass kissers...but this woman is even below them.
The MSM know Obama is done, so they are trying to get as liberal an elephant as they can.
I just realized in looking at the picture of the Bushes and Obama that it appears that the elder Bush is sitting in a wheelchair.
This right here is the crux of the problem.
The "Party" is no longer the rank-and-file who make up the actual membership of the Party. The "Party" is now a small, incestuous group of out-of-touch RINO insiders who've probably spent more collective time inside the beltway than mankind has been on this earth.
The "Party" doesn't give a rip what the actual people who make up their power base think about anything.
I'm just a sick of the Republican base and a whole lot of so-called conservatives who are nothing more than ignorant dupes.
