WASHINGTON — When Jeb Bush decides whether to run for president, there will be no family meeting à la Mitt Romney, no gathering at Walker’s Point in Kennebunkport to go over the pros and cons. “I don’t think it’ll be like a big internal straw poll,” said his son, Jeb Bush Jr.
But if there were, the results of the poll are pretty much in. As Mr. Bush nears a decision to become the third member of his storied family to seek the presidency, the extended Bush clan and its attendant network, albeit with one prominent exception, are largely rallying behind the prospect and pulling the old machine out of the closet.
“No question,” Jeb Jr. said in an interview, “people are getting fired up about it — donors and people who have been around the political process for a while, people he’s known in Tallahassee when he was governor. The family, we’re geared up either way.” Most important, he added, his mother, Columba, the prospective candidate’s politics-averse wife, has given her assent.

They need to go away!
You just have to wonder what the follow-on would be to sending the nation into a five trillion dollar tail-spin? Hasn’t this family sacrificed enough on behalf of our nation? Can’t we assure them we appreciate the idea, but they don’t need to feel compelled to rescue us from ourselves.
I see talk of another Bush running for the Presidency, and it actually makes me somewhat sick.
Please Bush family, find something else to do other than screw around with our nation. We’ve had enough. Uncle. Go away!
You folks added the Medicare Part D. You did everything possible to get amnesty through. You added only 0.87% jobs in eight years. The norm is close to 19%.
The financial sector cratered on your watch.
The national debt went up by over 90% on your watch.
When you left, you had screwed up the image of Conservatism so bad, that people actually thought Obola might be a great change.
What are you guys smoking, shooting up, taking through I.V., or orally that makes you think we actually want more of this?
Go to hell. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200 dollars.
GW and Jeb both want comprehensive immigration reform. So of course the Chamber of Cronies will stack the ballot on both sides to get what they’re after.
No Bush will get my vote. None. Maybe the RNC/Rove thinks that’s a good thing, but they fail to see I number in the millions.
No.
Screw you: Bush, you’ve screwed us enough already!
God, this constant drip drip drip of Jeb For Presnit is like torture.... Not waterboarding where at least you can hope you die before you go mad, but Chinese water torture, where the whole point is to drive you mad.
Same with Romney.
This is good news. It means Romney isn’t running and Jeb will take a lot of media heat off the real candidates.
“Hispanic Conservatism”? Is that why they overwhelmingly vote for the Democrats?
Tell that to DJ MacWoW

Ugggggghhhhhhhhhhhh.
