TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush says he isn't ruling out a possible presidential run in 2016.

At the inauguration Tuesday of new Gov. Rick Scott, Bush repeated his stance that he's positively not running for president in 2012.

Oh, please.

We don't need another member of the Bush dynasty.

Jeb might be a good guy. As I remember, he was expected to be the guy to run for Prez, but George W. got the jump on him.

It would be OK if he runs for the Senate.

Oh BTW I’m sure many RINO’s would like to “work” with an Obama in a second term compared to a Tea Party/ Conservative President

He’s very good. However, I don’t think he’d ever run, and this is just a way of deflecting it. His wife is known to really dislike the high-profile public role and furthermore, I don’t think he’d want to get into all of the BDS stuff (Bush Derangement Syndrome, as commmon among conservatives as among liberals).

But I think he’d make a great Senator, and I hope he runs for that office.

I like Bush.

But......no more family preservation acts in the White House.

We need some talent there...not old money or more Obamaloons either.

The Bush name is political poison. Jeb’s canditancy for any office is DOA.

Forget it, Jeb. Your brother and your mother have made it a sure thing that no Bush will ever be elected again.

(Remember W's disastrous administration? How he alienated his base support? Refused to enforce U.S. law? Close the Border? Halt illegal immigration? How he increased entitlements? Spent more of our hard-earned money than any President since Lyndon Johnson? And his crowning achievement: He gave us the present administration?)

(And remember Bigmouth Barbara's remarks about Govenor Palen?)

FORGET IT, JEB.

AND THANK MAMA AND BUBBA (BUBBA II, that is).

Got that right Mike.

No more Bushes. Not in 2012. Not in 2016. Never.

IMO, Jeb doesn’t have the spine nor guts for the job that it will take to reverse the intentional destruction that has already taken place against our country including the on-going theft of our freedom. We need a patriot willing to tell it like it is like Ronald Reagan or George Patton. None of the names mentioned come anywhere close.

My hunch is that the Bush wing of the GOP (Rove, Gillespie, PeRINO. etc.) would like to reach an establishment RINO (Romney, Daniels, etc.) who would agree to serve one term, step aside and endorse Jeb in 2016.

Right now he is busy being the shadow Governor in Florida, and even though he was a popular and good Governor, the Illegal Immigration issue is not his friend.

If you believe that crap that he is not running in 2012 you are dumber than a coal bucket. Porky pig Rove is working his ass off on it. That said, no more bushes ever.
