Jeb Bush Doesn't 'Anticipate' A Run For Prez. (RPOF Friends Say 50/50 Chance He's In)
Ploitico / Hannity ^ | Updated: 7/23/11 1:17 PM EDT | MAGGIE HABERMAN

Jeb Bush, who has made clear he isn't running for president this cycle, raised some eyebrows on Sean Hannity's Fox News show Friday night with this comment about a potential campaign:

"I don’t anticipate that. You never say never. This is a standard answer that I’ve kind of learned how to give which is — you never say never, but I never rule out being on Dancing with the Stars either … there are a lot of ways you can make a difference."

He went on, with respect to whether any of the current field can win, "If you recall, my dad in 1992 had an approval rating that was double what President Obama has right now and he was running against the seven dwarfs I think. … And one of those dwarfs became president … dwarf, you know President Clinton, so the notion that somehow these aren’t folks that are capable of winning I just think is ridiculous. These are good people."

They're also, per Bush, "capable. They’ve made the all-in commitment and this yearning for something else is very flattering for someone if you’re that someone else. But in reality I think this race, we have qualified candidates and as it gets closer to the primaries to the caucuses and primaries, I think people will begin to see the mettle of the men and women that are running."

Bush could correct that right now, but he has no intention to do so. The question is, whose side is he on, Obama’s or the American people’s?


As I said, it’s about the New World Order. And, he wants to live another 20 years or so.

I know.. but he got it right in the end. 100% on that very important issue.

W got nothing right on his own related to SCOTUS appointments. He had to be dissuaded from Gonzalez and Miers by pressure both private and public. I expect Roberts and Alito were presented to him based on the judgment of others in the party.

It's a pity others couldn't have dissuaded W from his Tex-Mex, amnesty fetish. Those two big pushes in 2006 and 2007 did huge damage to the party.

And, Bush Jr. paved the way for the new “civilian military force” that poisons, radiates, strips, and molests law-abiding people not under arrest: the TSA.

It wasn’t bad enough that they were killing us off as collateral damage as fast as they could in the border states, he and his dual citizens created an out-of-control, Communist/fascist monster.

I couldn’t even understand why Sean would give this Bush air-time.

Because Hannity is still under the delusion that the Bushs are conservatives. The real surprise about Hannity is how good he’s been on the debt situation.

That smirking crap bag also split the party, with His Amnesty, “See you at the signing” which gave the Rats the house in 06.

After leaving Terri Schiavo to die, I don’t anticipate that I’d vote for Jeb Bush should he decide to run for Prez.

“I don’t anticipate that. You never say never.”

NEVER.

Please stay on your compount and keep your mouth shut, Jeb. The last thing we need in 2012 is for Bushes to start speaking up.

When it comes to Jeb Bush, America, just say NO! We clashed with Jebby in 2002 over the 8.5 square mile area. Jeb is no conservative!

What about Ford-Rockefeller 1974-1976? Guess that depends on what the meaning of the word “won” is.

If he runs his platform will most likely be:

Compassionate ‘new world order’ conservatism, read my lips on “revenues”, bailouts will prevent world destruction, possible sanctions against Iran (but then, maybe not), and “no progressive collectivist” left behind.

Before praising the excellent court picks, let’s see how the court does with the unconstitutional health care law.

My concern is, if they intended to find it unconstitutional, they should have taken the case long ago. The fact that they didn’t, letting the massive implementation spending take place, either means they don’t give a cr@p about the taxpayer, or they intend to let it stand.

I don’t like either of the options.

Jeb will not run for President.

I loved him as governor, but the political climate is not ready for him. Maybe never will be ready for him.

Florida’s best chance for a name on a national ticket right now is Marco Rubio.
