Jeb Bush Moving Closer to 2016 Run
News Max ^ | 2/5/13 | Cyrus Afzali

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will speak for the first time at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, a clear sign that he is mulling a run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016.

The American Conservative Union, which sponsors the conference, announced Tuesday that Bush will address the group, set for March 14-16 in National Harbor, Md., just outside Washington. Bush has been invited by the group to speak at CPAC several times, but this will be his first appearance.

“We are pleased to announce that my friend Gov. Jeb Bush will be a featured speaker at CPAC 2013,” ACU Chairman Al Cardenas said in a statement.

No, to RINOS! No, to establishment Republicans! No, to ANYBODY who is for amnesty for illegal immigrants! No, to “family political dynasties”, such as the Bush family!

I like Jeb Bush (I live in Florida, and he was an excellent governor) but I don’t think he has much of a chance.

However, getting any even possible candidates into the ring would be an improvement.

Last time around, we had NOBODY who was willing to run, except Romney who had been running for years, and Santorum likewise. But they obviously were not great candidates, because Romney had to be shoved down everybody’s throats when he was selected by the GOP-E because he was the only rich WASP RINO candidate they had on hand. That seems to be the sole qualification.

Let’s get a lot of people out there and make decisions. We’re not like the Dems - we can’t run a total unknown, stupid, loser, mysterious, non-native born candidate and have the press run out cheering.

I am 99% against Jeb as a candidate (leaving a little wiggle room depending on who else is in the race), but the one good things from his candidacy is a guaranteed win in FL...which seems to be eluding us recently. Jeb is extremely popular here.

Start planning a third party now, in case Jeb does get the nomination in 2016.

I’m dead serious, Bush is going nowhere if he’s the Republican nominee. Now may be the time to start organizing a third party.

nothing like an insider’s insider to get immaculated into the WH. If Jebby is their man, consider it a done deal, unless of course the insiders want the Hildabeast. Daddy Bush is a criminal, W is a criminal, Neil is a criminal, how can Jebby not be a criminal too? Since the US government is now the largest criminal organization on the planet, Jebby is perfect to be the president of the US. Loose all the felons, pardon the obozo, the Hildabeast, Holder, Guithner, Benny B, and the rest and free drugs and money for all their associates and friends!!!!

RINO express, wow...!

More and more I see that it was wise to change my affiliation to, “undeclared”.

I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR A BUSH.

In regard to the Republican Party, this would be strike three for me. Enough of the Bush bunch.

On no!!! Say it ain’t so, Joe!!!!

Idea: Don’t bother with the election, just hand the office to Hillary or Michelle.

Maybe Jorge “La Raza” Bush can run in ‘20.
