Indeed! We can’t take any more Bush Republicanism.

About a week ago, in response to a comment about Henry Kissinger, a FReeper assured me any concerns over the NWO are pure fantasy. I believe that FReeper is woefully naive.

One thing that hurt Jeb was the fact that he hadn’t done anything since being Governor of Florida.

It’s like when a potential employer sees a gap in your resume, they wonder why.

Putting Bush out of his misery was “an act of love”.

I tend to ignore the term NWO because of its association with a few kooks.

But there is certainly what seems to be a post-American, global citizen mentality in a lot of our political and business elites and I guess that amounts to the same thing.

Well, don’t be too hasty. Yeb! has been working his connections. He made money on Obamaphones with his dear Mexican buddy, old Carlos Slim. He also made a lot of cash off Obamacare. There’s not much reason to work when you are an expert crony capitalist grifter.

I’m not so sure about them-they seem more interested in being grifters than in pretending to be concerned about anyone else-once Michelle and the kids are on some fancy estate in Hawaii, Michelle will probably spend all of her husband’s speaking fees as fast as he makes them on jewelry, more ugly clothes, etc-and I can easily see the two spoiled daughters getting into some kind of trouble once they are not as carefully supervised...

Like Marco in the Senate, George P. must find the land commissioner’s post very boring. He is though trying to transfer Alamo artifacts to his friends in Mexico. People in TX don’t know that.

Back in 1976-1977, when I was active in the Young Americans for Freedom, I did a lot of work with Craig Shirley when he ran the YAF office on Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles.

The people of Hawaii might have him crowned king if they think they can-everyone there would be downright orgasmic until the state was bankrupt...

The hell he will - I know people who are looking for that no-talent sad sack. He doesn't owe them money, but he does owe them work by virtue of his office. Know-nothing, do nothing staff, phone calls don't get returned - effing worthless. Either take care of business or resign and let someone who actually has a work ethic take over.

Why did good ole Jebbie bomb? His biggest mistake was to dismiss the base as unnecessary.....b/c he heard the Bush elders constantly belittling and demeaning conservatives.

The Bush campaign should become a standard case study in campaign school of what not to do. I am not sure I have ever seen a major campaign, with such obvious assets across the board, so completely and cluelessly misread the dynamics of an election.

Every word out of Bush/s mouth was mind-bogglingly stupid. It was like his mind was trolling the 90/s for campaign slogans.

IMHO, after all was said and done...his act of love inanity, and the rest....Jebbie/s obsession w/ highlighting his (gag) terrific years as FLA governor proved to be the death knell for his ambitions.

==========================================

Dragging out GWB to stump for Jeb was a mistake of enormous magnitude. It dredged up all the debacles of the Iraq invasion ...including GWB standing on the ship ignorantly declaring mission accomplished....as the US was forced to sink trillions into Mideast dirtholes...even to this day b/c of his incompetence.

==========================================

The GOPe keeps wondering how a NYC real estate mogul beat a good, honest fellow like ole Jeb. Right about now, a secret RNC meeting is being held in a country club grill room. The GOPe can/t figure out who can beat that big mouthed clown from Manhattan, who is about to blaze a trail of destruction over their party not seen since Sherman and his army of blue bellies arrived in Georgia.

With their last dying gasp, establishment types are grabbing onto one last hope: that GOPe Party rules will make it hard for Trump to clinch the nom.

Trump is winning by pulling 30-40 percent of states' votes, making party-designated winner-take-all- thresholds out of reach. Party rules make Trump/s securing the nom that much more difficult: (1) formally: winning a majority of delegates, or, (2) informally: broad support being so obvious it stifles competition.

Piffle. All of the GOPe rules mean nothing, nada, zippo. The fact is Donald Trump/s towering wins mean that he now OWNS the Republican Party. Anything the GOPe did is DOA....including rules that were meant to cement the establishment candidates in power.

THE BEST PART is GOPe party leaders are scared to death of Trump/s candidacy. Wait til they find out Trump is making his own rules.

:') OTOH, the one thing he had going for him was, he isn't Rubio. After Trump pantsed him in those debates, he went from being the anointed leader to being the former big man on campus who gets his ass beaten in front of his girlfriend and his entire clique by some short-fused loser. It happens in every high school. :')

Last night Van Jones (Van Jones!) was criticising Trump for not recognizing the class and dignity of Jeb Bush and all his many years of selfless public service. I have to laugh, these political types like to talk like their nakedly aggressive clutching at personal power is some sort of holy work they do at the expense of their own best interests. Yet they all come out of it rich as can be and can’t wait to run some more. And in the case of the Bush’s, an entire family which feels it is entitled to power, the thing the founders were most repelled by.

Dynasties in politics are bad things.

I've favored a Constitutional amendment that says, basically, if you are elected to office, none of your family members to the 4th. degree of consanguity, by blood or marriage, can serve in any office, elected or appointed. We've got over 300 million people in this country, after all, for crying out loud...
