Jeb Bush to Join McCain in Mexico City

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will join presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain in Mexico City Thursday morning on the last day of McCain's three-day visit to Latin America.

Gov. Bush was in Mexico City on business and wanted to spend time with the candidate. He will not spend the day with Sen. McCain, R-Ariz., who has several other events today, including a media availability this afternoon.

Gov. Bush's name has been floated in Republican veepstakes chatter. On Good Morning America Wednesday, however, McCain pushed back on any talk of his vice presidential pick.

I guess many of his electoral votes are coming from the state of Mexico.

Sure fire winner./s

[Emile]

Jeb would make a good veep. That said, keep him away from the ticket. If there is a Bush anywhere around, it would be impossible for McCain to convince independents who have GWB fatigue that his presidency wouldn’t just be a third GWB term.

[avacado]

"Juan McCain? I knows senors Juan McCain. Yous no Juan McCain... Aye-yi-yi-yi!"

[3AngelaD]

I have been saying all along that it is Jeb’s turn. Finally McCain has realized that.

[politicalwit]

Jeb would make a good veep.

You mean the same Jeb Bush that continued the embargo against drilling of the coast of Florida? The Bush family is not a friend of the USA. Hopefully Jeb will stay in Mexico and take his brother with him.

[E. Cartman]

Jeb would make a good veep.

NEVER! I don't want ANY other Bush near the Oval Office in my life time. While we worried about our enemies on the left, we never saw them massing on our right.

And I'm no longer certain that Jimmy Carter was the worst president whose administration I lived through.

[Resolute Conservative]

Why is a candidate for president “campaigning” in Mexico? I assume he is down there making speeches. McCain has no official business down there. Mexicans and no others have any say so in our election ( in my perfect world ).

[tumblindice]

10% of Mexico’s population is in America. Mexican politicians come up here to campaign.

[indylindy]

This is where the great Juanito will begin his speech with a salute and “Juan McCain, reporting for duty”. LOL

[E. Cartman]

The Bush family is not a friend of the USA.

Real conservatives know that the Bush family represents only its own class and family interests. Father and son have done a remarkable job gutting what Reagan and others worked so hard for, and brother Jeb could deliver the final coup de graces to the conservative movement in American history. Put him anywhere near the ticket and Obama will win in a landslide.

[exit82]

He’s there to seal the deal on amnesty.

He had no need to go to Colombia, nor to Mexico, nor to Great Britain.

Something steenks here.

[kingattax]

maybe a trip to canada is next

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Just about the time I convince myself to vote
for the less of two evils.
McCain pulls this crap!

[indylindy]

I wonder where the McCainiacs are? Do you think they are staying away from this thread?

[sheana]

Considering he has represented Mexico’s citizens better than Americans, I can understand him campaigning in Mexico.
No more Bushs or Clintons on any ticket........period. Get rid of the dynasties.

[mikeus_maximus]

Great. Another Bush, of the Beltway Bushes, giving a fellow self- aggrandizing, principle-compromising "moderate" pol a push. The party on the right is now the party on the left.

We Don't Get Fooled Again, from the album The Song Remains the Same (or should be).

[rabscuttle385]

I wonder where the McCainiacs are? Do you think they are staying away from this thread?

Maybe they're in hiding after the drubbing they got last night.

[indylindy]

Probably Jeb, Juan, and his buddy Juan, all traveled there together. Fiesta time for them.

I really don’t think he would pick Jeb. Well...I don’t know.....mcCain might. After all where are we going to go? LOL

[Regulator]

Maybe he and McAmnesty can just move there among the people they so dearly love and stay the hell out of our country.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

This country is truly in trouble, no matter who the next POTUS is, and there’s nothing that anyone can do to stop it. The next Congress in both chambers will probably also be very socialistic. It’s frustrating!

[indylindy]

I just saw a few of the ones with rabies starting to wake up for the day. They might get around to this thread if they get bored.

[death2tyrants]

“While we worried about our enemies on the left, we never saw them massing on our right.”

Sure we did. They are the ones who had adopted the BAF views of the left and backed Ron Paul. Fortunately, their numbers were too small and no one had any reason to take them seriously.

[brydic1]

Can we all just agree, the US never needs to see another Roosevelt, Kennedy, Clinton, or Bush in office. I would prefer an old fashion hereditary monarchy to the kind of political dynasties which the American populace in the ignorance places in charge of this country.

[Ben Ficklin]

".....they are staying away from this thread?"

The only ones on this thread are left wing ringers and right wing kooks.

Which group do you belong to?

[Glenmerle]

McCain's three-day visit to Latin America.

What nimbo is running McCain's campaign? Obama is plastering the airwaves with lies about his stand on the issues and McCain is in . . . Mexico City?

[skeeter]

Yeah, another Bush - thats the ticket.

The GOP truly has a death wish.

[rabscuttle385]

I just saw a few of the ones with rabies starting to wake up for the day. They might get around to this thread if they get bored.

Then let them come so that they can be made fun of.

[death2tyrants]

“We Don’t Get Fooled Again, from the album The Song Remains the Same “

Heh. Reminds me of the music trivia on that show Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld. That part cracks me up.

[indylindy]

I belong to the conservative group. Apparently you are from the socialist wing. Correct?

[rabscuttle385]

The only ones on this thread are left wing ringers and right wing kooks.

Which group do you belong to?

Speak for yourself!

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Juan Mcloon - because a Pyrrhic victory is still a win?

[indylindy]

They’re Heeerrre!!!!!!

[dragnet2]

Jeb Bush to Join McCain in Mexico City

Of course they're in Mexico....Good God...

Is there anyway to keep these people there?

[Ben Ficklin]

Anybody and everybody in the GOP knows you won't be voting GOP.

You are worth only a half vote and McCain is campaigning to those who are worth a whole vote.

[politicalwit]

McCain is in . . . Mexico City?

Perhaps John's just down there representing his wife's business ventures. I read somewhere that Anheuser-Busch was talking with (?)Grupo Modelo about a possible merger to stall a hostile takeover.

[M203M4]

I wonder where the McCainiacs are?

Making "Pray for President McCain" threads and not hitting the "post" button?

[brydic1]

Unfortunately the nimbo running the McCain campaign is McCain.
Charles Black, a top strategist for McCain's campaign, told the press that John McCain insisted on the trip to Latin America and the staffs’ duty was to accommodate him. The GOP nominated a leftist numb-skull and it makes little difference as to how they rearrange the deck chairs on their Titanic. It is going to sink.

[rabscuttle385]

You are worth only a half vote and McCain is campaigning to those who are worth a whole vote.

I live in one of those "battleground" states, and I'll be darned before my vote is worth less than any other.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

The McCainiacs are wondering the same thing......So is McCain.

[indylindy]

Yay.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

I wonder how well it will matter in November when us worthless “half votes” leave the McAmnesty slot open?

Naw, he doesn’t need us anyway, nor do his Koolaid drinking “Half conservative” Republicans.

[MBB1984]

Well, Juan McCain loves Amnesty so I guess it does make sense for him to campaign and get his whole votes in Mexico.

[exit82]

I wonder where the McCainiacs are? Do you think they are staying away from this thread?

I think they're wiped out from the "3 Reasons to Vote for John McCain" thread last night. I don't know how I missed all the fun.

[indylindy]

The GOP had to know that every faction of the GOP wasn’t going to jump on board the Straight Talkin’ Spress.

Thats why I think it is bizarre that these people spend their time insulting folks around here.

Since McCain, a democrat, except for the R, is McCain, it would be easier for them to go convince some people in the Democrat Party to waste their whole vote on Juanito.

[indylindy]

They are thinking hard about the 3 reasons why lyin’ in a headline is stupid.

[Prokopton]

Why is a candidate for president “campaigning” in Mexico? I assume he is down there making speeches. McCain has no official business down there. Mexicans and no others have any say so in our election ( in my perfect world ).

Because there are no serious issues facing Americans and the Senate has really nothing to do. The Democrats in Congress, along with the help of liberals like McCain, have solved all of our problems. The only thing left to do is solve all the problems of the rest of the world. McCain is "reaching across the border" to insure that all Mexicans can get the support of American taxpayers that they deserve.

What's wrong with you? Have you no feelings for your fellow human beings? Are you so selfish that you think our "leaders" should be spending their time worrying about your problems just because you are a U.S. citizen? For shame.

“NEVER! I don’t want ANY other Bush near the Oval Office in my life time. While we worried about our enemies on the left, we never saw them massing on our right.”

There’s a sad truth most don’t want to hear.

[Witch-king of Angmar]

Juan McCain meets with his most loyal constituents.
