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.

Graham could have the recipe for sure defeat. Romney is already bad enough, no need to add Jeb Bush and make it worse.

“.........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.

P.S.

Is Graham going to be a flower boy at whats-his-name wedding? (To clarify, the one who spits when he talks.)

C’mon South Carolina—give us another DeMint instead of le femme Goober Lindsaaay Graaaaham. He’s really losing it on the Jeb Bush as VP talk. Too bad we cant ask the departed Terri Schiavo how the Jeb was rolled over by the little, blind, swamp judge in FL. that ordered her death. If Jeb would have stepped in and bravely saved her he would be a national conservative hero about now. But alas—he’s just another squish RINO rejected by TP’ers.

The very name “Bush” is poison to many Independent voters. I don’t know who the best choice for VP would be but I hope it is not Jeb Bush.

Does anyone care what Grahamnesty thinks? Did he come up with this on his own, or did his hero Juan McCain think that Jeb would be civil, and reach out to their friends across the aisle?

Kiss this country goodbye if he does. America is sick of the Bush family. It is a no win.

This is ahhhh .....

The GOP is really DEAD!

Evidently the last remaining Pubbies are truly Democrat Donkies after all.

Graham is the worst choice the GOP has in it's stable. Well there are many non-starters in the GOP stable.

Nah, the Bush plan is to wait until the Mexican bloodlined (George P.?) kid can run and win on the Latino vote. They have a dream of a South American style oligarchy with their family safe at the seat of power.

Though, I don't doubt the GOPe is dumb enough to try this.
