'It's all about us being the No. 1 enemy of these people'
PALM BEACH, Florida – With the announcement Tuesday by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush that he plans to “actively explore” a run for president in 2016, radio host Rush Limbaugh says the real reason Jeb is seeking the White House is to choke the influence of tea-party conservatives out of the Republican Party.
“You want to know why Jeb Bush is thinking about running?” Limbaugh asked on his top-rated program Tuesday.
“He’s … being looked at as savior by the big-money donor class and the consultant class – the establishment of the party – to head off the tea party. They’re gonna pull out all the stops to make sure that a tea-party-type conservative doesn’t get the nomination.
“It could be a sacrificial run just to make sure that a conservative doesn’t get the nomination in 2016. There’s a whole bunch of stuff under the surface here that’s percolating and effervescing, and it’s all about us being the No. 1 enemy of these people.”(continued)

Here is a short story about Jeb Bush: No.
I think a bowl of mashed potatos is more exciting then Jeb Bush.
“Jeb Bush really running to kill tea party”
He’s going to force the issue?
Maybe he ought to consider that it will have the opposite final outcome.
Of course it’s also possible that Jeb, Mitt, and NJFatboy split the fat cat money and the RINO votes, neutralizing each other.
Rush had the right idea, JEB and Hitlery should run together on the same ticket.
Jeb would not really bother me personally, HOWEVER, his ties to making sure Common Core, Amnesty and Obamacare become embedded features of our lives is way too much for me to ignore.
Anyone who promotes ‘Common Core’ will NEVER get my vote.
Bush / Clinton 2016!
Maybe JEB should run with Hillary on the Democrat ticket, as her VP.
Pay close attention folks!
If JEB BUSH want to live, it needs to be Clinton/Bush.
I am not so certain that Bush is after the Tea Party as much as he is after Ted Cruz. I think that Bush is trying to open room on the left so that Rand Paul can run to his right .
Maybe that is the intent, but it doesn’t seem like it would ever achieve that stated purpose. Jeb won’t pull votes from any conservative candidates, and Jeb can’t generate enough enthusiasm to get the nomination on his own either. I suppose if he runs as a Dem, he could probably still edge out Biden.
I was thinking that, too.
It would do him and HER a world of good... and then she COULD be W’s sister-in-law
Do they REALLY believe people who are motivated by IDEOLOGY will simply fall into line and vote GOP?
Are they THAT stupid?
Nay, the Tea Party will either become a real party with real candidates, or they will FIND one.
And that will ensure the GOP never wins another national, or statewide election.
Anywhere.
Forever and ever.
Amen.
Mitch has already endorsed Rand Paul. This is about heading off Ted Cruz.
That whole relationship with the Bush family is Bills, and I doubt Hillary participates. Of course, I could be surprised.
