Most of the time politics is a game played on several layers and to paraphrase the great line from the movie Chinatown, nobody really knows what goes on in politics which brings us to Jeb Bush.

As the younger, better looking and more “conservative” son in the Bush family Jeb has been pushed toward a run at the presidency. The talk started early in his tenure as Florida’s governor. Conservatives that never warmed to George W. Bush’s “compassionate conservatism” longed for the real thing. The conservative blogosphere asked if we didn’t elect the wrong Bush.

Now we are approaching 2016 and Jeb Bush is in the spotlight and a media favorite because he would be so easy to beat. Those who even casually watch politics know that if by some miracle Karl Rove arranged Jeb’s nomination his presence on the GOP’s ticket would cause conservatives to stay home in numbers that would make their participation in 2012 look downright impressive.

Maybe it is time to lift the veil from our own eyes and see what this man has been showing us; “sometimes a banana is just a banana” as the old line goes.

With the exception of Rush Limbaugh, the people who get paid to comment on politics aren’t being honest about Jeb. At some level they have to know that he is doing everything possible to insure that he doesn’t get the nomination from the putatively conservative Republican Party.

What a crock of you know what. Jeb Bush is the dumbest, fat face geek in the Bush family. He is slightly more articulate than his brother, but that is not saying much. Jeb Bush is also boring.

Everyone knows that jebbush would lose to hitlery. I think that there would be at least a 10% attrition rate from the depressed Romney 2016 numbers for Republicans in 2016 if jebbush is the GOP nominee. jebbush is there to suck up money the could be used by a conservative.
If he doesn’t run, jebbush could form a PAC and use the money to attack conservatives.

The American people are extremely bitter over the human and material sacrifices they have made in the Mideast and do not see how their well being or security was enhanced.

TSA. Reichland security. Banned light bulbs. Doubling the national debt.

I am 100% certain that someday these words will flow from Jeb’s mouth.

“I think Hillary would make an excellent president”

I’ve been saying that Rubio is the Bushie in this race. They won’t both run.

Of course, I’m always wrong.
