Will Jeb Bush really be a 2012 pres candidate?
I heard several blowhards on talk radio last night--Mark Levin and his
wacko guests--suggesting that Jeb Bush is gearing up for a 2012 presidential
run. They mentioned that the "talk" among their ilk is that Bush will run.

They also said that right now he is commenting on political and high-profile
news/events--getting his name and opinions out there.

I about drove off the road when I heard this. I haven't heard this from any
other source. They didn't have concrete evidence of a J Bush presidential
run, but these are the insiders.

I can't believe that this family would have the audacity to believe that
we need more of their fumbling family members in government leadership.

It really makes me ill that this is even a rumor. It shouldn't even
be considered.

5. Sure they would..
...IF they can clean up assWipes image a bit or the American people forget enough to allow an election to be close enough to steal.

Hell yeah they would. There's still a bit of money left on the table.

6. I've heard this before. He's at least going to be part of the
group of Candidates that will run. I'm hoping people's memories aren't that bad!

11. Yes.
I've said it since last year and nothing changes my mind to think otherwise.

He has the money sources, he has the connections. He will run and he will be their nominee.

17. I agree
I've been saying that Jeb will be the nominee too. Who else do they have? Despite what many hope, he could win too.

20. The base loves Palin and it would be hard for him to break through.
He would have done better in 2008.

13. I have said before, I am almost certain he will run.
I have no idea what that means. Perhaps he has been insulated from the Bush fatigue that most of America still feels. I don't think he'll win the nom, but I believe he will run.

16. They really don't have a lot of options
the fact that time has passed will give the MSM all they need to say "Oh! that was (X) years ago"

Romney?- pfft no one likes him and a Mormon is NOT going to be on the ticket of the Southern Party
Cantor?- see above
Palin?- just say no (they will)
Newt? - he and Haley Barbour have the southern money behind them but in the general election against Obama they would be crushed
George Allen?- oh those 106 seconds in Wise county (I just HAD to mention that)
Jindal?- no
Pawlenty?- Who?

I don't see an option for them. Especially with Dick Armey fracturing the party. BUT WE STILL NEED TO START WORKING NOW


Their candidate has to come from the south, that is where all their money is. Without a Southern candidate to take back Virginia (we DID decide it not that MSM will let you know that) , secure Carolina, and Indiana they will have tepid response from their own kind which is probably going to be weak because Dick Armey and Ed Meese wanted to make some quick money.

19. It would be no big surprise for him to run in the primaries; but the base will go nuts if Palin
is not the nominee out of their convention.

21. Don't put nothing pass this Bush Clan. If he runs make sure the electronic voting machines are
not tampered with. He will cheat to win like his brother did. Remember they Bush's have connections to the CIA. Who knows what they are capable of doing now.

23. Jeb supported the teacher bill. Jeb is pulling the strings in the Florida legislature.
Jeb supports Marco Rubio.

Jeb is running.

But if we defeat Rubio, just like we defeated the teacher bill in Florida, it will hurt him politically.

24. calling Jeb the "smart Bush" is like calling Moe the smart stooge...but
I think Jeb is way too savvy to run for president.He's got the perfect set up as is.

26. Too damned soon. The answer to "Miss me yet?" is still "HELL NO."
There's no way America will be ready for another Bush that soon.

28. If he runs he most certainly won't have my vote.
I never liked the little weasel since his race in Florida against Lawton Chiles.

Had I known him before that I wouldn't likely have liked him then either.

29. Not happening.
No, NOT because people wouldn't be fucking stupid enough to vote for the Bush Crime Family again - they have done so since 1952.

But the Bush Crime Family only wants to be in power when there's something for them to steal. And the country hasn't recovered from what Chimpy did yet. Hell, they may not even try to steal it in 2016 unless things change drastically by then.

31. Even the Repugs are tired of the Bushes
And it's well known that Jeb is even more in favor of legalizing the undocumented than even Shrub was. Jeb has even less of a shot in the Repuke party than Ghouliani did.
