Allow me to unite America’s left, right, and center in just three words: No, Jeb, No. Florida’s former GOP governor Jeb Bush made the obvious official this week when he announced on Facebook that he’s “actively exploring” a 2016 White House run. Of course he’s running. That’s what inveterate politicians do. Well, I hate to break it to Jeb Inc. There’s no popular groundswell for Bush Part III. None, zip, nada. Independents, progressives, and conservatives are all weary of the entrenched bipartisan dynasties that rule Washington and ruin America. Only in the hallowed bubble of D.C. and New York City elites does a Jeb Bush presidential bid make any sense.

Jeb may be carrying the chamber pot but it’s not full of water.

Bush / Clinton 2016!

That's exactly what Rush Limbaugh was talking about on his show today - in a satirical manner, of course.

No Jeb isn’t. But you just try to get the ‘cats’ in line behind one candidate, then watch as they each act like someone just stepped on their tail.

Jeb-Ha-Ha! (three words)

Marco Rubio is pro-amnesty.

So what if Ted Cruz has “too many enemies?”

He pisses off all the right people, both democrat and republican, although it’s hard to tell the difference these days.

Jebbie is the chamber of amnesty’s butt boy.

Hank has an opinion of Jeb...

"Water boy my a**. Butt boy. Jeb is a tool. The Great OZ Sheldon Adelson has spoken."

"start boycotting Chamber of Commerce"

The CoC has morphed into a creature of Wall Street and K-Street, definitely not Main Street.

I could be wrong, but I think a lot of small businesses would do just fine without the CoC affiliation in the era of the internet and social media.

Yes, what you are saying is a political axiom: people advocating for less government, who comprise the majority of the "Tea Party" type grassroots Republicans, tend to be more difficult to "herd" into a massive single advocacy group, simply because they tend to be individualists. But the urgency of the moment hopefully will overcome that predilection.

Speaking of the Tea Party, we are overdue for some massive rallies against amnesty for illegals and against Obamacare, for starters.

Thanks for the ping!

The Stupid Party remains stupid.
