GOP Offering 'I MISS W' T-Shirt to Prepare Ground for Unloved, Unwanted, and Unelectable Jeb...

RINO boneheads like Jeb Bush are happy to tell you how we need to get past 'nostalgia' for the (toweringly successful) Reagan era and move-on... but the same ossified Gee-Oh-Pee fossils now think it's a good idea to bring up the (unpopular) Bush era when we're already doing well in the polls?

Although 'dissatisfied', I'm not one of those rabid Bush-haters-- not any more than any other RINO, anyway. I think he's a decent guy, loves the country, and in his heart he meant well. Of Bush family, he's easily the most likable guy. Spent way too much money and made a couple strategic mistakes (particularly occupation of Iraq)... that's all.

But what exactly is the point of attempting to burnish the Bush family name in run-up to a very important midterm election? Why even bring them up unless they're already pimping Jeb- I'm sure other registered Republicans out there got the same email, linking them to this 'buy your W shirt here' page.

But even if I did really 'miss' W, and if I did want to buy the stupid T-shirt, 

I don't think I would be able to get one (before they pop-up on ebay): like many of you, I swore off direct donations to the GOP years ago, and would never send these disingenuous bastards one thin dime- (even if they had the coolest Ted Cruz T-shirt ever devised).

Until Reagan Revolution II has shaken their ranks clean of the current crop of unprincipled nothings, that is....

***ping***

[skeeter]

This slogan is a non-starter.

[DoodleDawg]

What if you don’t miss Dubya?

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I don’t miss W. I would rather have him as president than Obama, but I don’t miss him and his Compassionate Conservatism (ie, updated Rockefeller Republicanism).

[MrEdd]

Since I never aimed at W, I couldn’t possibly have missed him.

I don’t miss his profligate spending and his killing of the free market to save the free market....

[mikrofon]

Now if they sponsored a Miss Wet T-shirt contest, that *might* garner somewhat more interest…

[DManA]

On the back put:

He’s a nice Guy.
His wife is charming.
At least he was better than Obama.

Rockefeller Republicanism

Who got it from Teddy Roosevelt.

[trisham]

This is ridiculous.

[yield 2 the right]

I miss the United States of America as intended by the founders!

[VanDeKoik]

Hell I miss W because, compared to this decade, his time was a paradise of stability and sanity. The weeks after 9-11 were some of the best moments this nation had in years.

Doesn’t mean I’m going to pull the lever for another Bush.

[Dr. Thorne]

Sorry, folks. I believe JEB! will be the next president regardless of our antipathy toward him. The fix is in.

[Major Matt Mason]

The GOPe is totally invested in making sure a true conservative isn't the candidate. Romney's re-emergence is just another example of this effort to thwart someone like Cruz or Walker (I think he is a conservative, at least). But the reality for the GOPe is that their candidates, i.e. the elitist snobs like the Bush family and Romney, aren't electable. They have nothing in common with the average person and have no ability to relate to them. Further, the "moderates" spend money irresponsibly and have no problem with big government, but that will be a non-starter going forward.

Someone should print a “I miss Terri Shaivo” t-shirt.

[Paine in the Neck]

I’m going to give out free “Stay out’ da’ Bushes” stencils so those T shirts can be fixed.
