Another Bush Seeks The White House; America’s Response Should Send A Clear Message
Western Journalism ^ | April 23, 2014 | B Christopher Agee

Posted on 04/23/2014 5:39:13 PM PDT by lbryce

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush reportedly confirmed mounting suspicions that he wants to be the third member of his immediate family to occupy the White House. In a recent appearance at a New York fundraiser, Politico reports that he told attendees he is “thinking about running for president.”

Apparently, a number of the approximately 200 individuals gathered for the event were receptive to the announcement, leading Bush to ask them to “call and tell [his] mom” about the decision.

The politician, however, is a much tougher sell for members of his party overall – especially among those who call themselves conservatives.

A recent Economist/YouGov poll indicates the number of Republicans opposed to a potential Bush candidacy far outweighs those who support him. Only one in four members of the GOP would embrace his presidential bid overall, while a meager 18 percent of self-described conservatives are on board.

In a breakdown of their findings, pollsters indicated the word “moderate” is used often to describe him – both by his supporters and detractors, though obviously in different contexts.

“So is the acronym ‘RINO,’ Republican in name only,” the study found. “’Conservative’ appears hardly at all among those with positive views of Bush, but it is there among those who dislike him.”

Hey,Jeb. Instead of merely being President of a third-world country by the time you get to win, if at all, why don't you join The "Mars One Project" where going only one way is just half the fun. Mars One needs leaders like yourself to help mankind build an outpost in space. And there are some great things waiting for you as Mars One participant. First of all, there are no borders for anyone wanting to get through out of love. Secondly, The Mars One Project will anoint you not merely some lowly President leader of Martian Town but Ruler of the entire planet. And then in a while when you've finally got things under control, you can create a giant sign visible on Earth:MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

If Jeb ran as a Democrat, that would be OK — and would match up closer with his ideology.

Jeb-Hillary

Hillary-Jeb

Joe-Jeb

Nope. You will lose primary after primary to Cruz and Paul and Huckabe. If Palin gets in ,like I pray, you will be drag ass last. Don’t embarrass your self. Your Dad never saw a tax increase he didn’t like (or sign into law) and your Grand Dad was a liar— “No new taxes” turned into “Here is a big one”!! Stay home unemployed as you have been for 7 years.

Obama is letting in 2 million 3rd world immigrants legal and illegal into the USA every year

“Obama is letting all of us into America to take your jobs away and your women too”:

Poor Dear Jeb. He is the second born. OH MY, what a terrible thing to happen to such a wonderful human. Smart,
SWAVE, married to a foreigner who used him to become American. WAS a governor. NOW wants to be the 3rd Bush, under one good man, ONE GREAT man and him. NO...dear Jeb,
it is not your time. We’ve had 2 Bushes...one Good Man, one a Man of the Military, both following the republican
line. Sorry, I love your brother, we wore the same uniform, you wore civilian clothes. It’s nice to be noticed, and you did a good job for Florida...but for the
United States? You will follow the likes of the “ruling”
republican party, and they sit “real close” to the democrat
side of the isle. The conservative republicans, now sit in the back and are spat upon by the mass media. You are one
for the mass media, but not for the American conservative
republicans, who keep this country running.

Romney got the message pretty quickly.

The GOPe has no one to run.

Hacks who are willing to jump into the volcano as long as the gravy train, called the Chamber of Commerce, and the puppet masters, are at the other end.

If they don’t know voter turnout would be like on tenth what it was last time, the time before, and the time before that, when W with all his money power and bush backing went neck and neck till January with the totally insane Gore, who had a via for the Rasputin known as the Benghazi Broad and her sidekick, Beelzebubba, they seem to be getting some kind of a hint.

They’re so inept
