Jeb Bush Doesn't 'Anticipate' A Run For Prez. (RPOF Friends Say 50/50 Chance He's In)

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."

Your comment about “bringing the Hispanic vote” is wishful thinking.

I have never heard anything about this incident, but I no longer live in Florida. Could you elaborate or say where can I find out more about this 65,000 acres of private land, which I gather was “eminemt domained”?

Most people haven't heard of Jebby's Big Enviro-Goon Adventure.

When it comes to land grabs, most of the left leaning news organizations would rather keep them off the radar. When they do happen to get on the radar, most Americans are more interested in royal weddings than their neighbor's property being confiscated and/or destroyed.

Here are a few links to get you started.

"As governor Bush imposed a windfall profits tax on oil companies drilling on state lands and appointed a Planned Parenthood director to the State Supreme Court...he is no conservative."


That kind of record sounds vaguely familiar. ;-)

I was a member of that group. Matter of fact, I coined the term Sawgrass Rebellion. Of all the states the Sawgrass Rebellion, and the Klamath Convoy, dealt with as the Convoy traveled from Oregon to Homestead, Fl, only Florida was remarkable in its determined ignoring of us.

In one state, the Speaker of the House and te President of the Senate were talking with us when I was asked “What does Florida have against Property Rights?”

When I asked just what they meant, the reply was that they had been getting calls from Jeb’s brother (White House George) to try to convince us not to come to Florida.

It is possible these men were liars, but knowing Jeb, I felt they were telling the truth.

As for the answer - I can only say that the Bush family is solidly New World Order and they have given every indication they do not support a Constitutionally limited government.

I voted for all the Bush brothers. Having spent some time briefing Jeb on the ill effects of socialism in the Everglades, I can say he is the kind of man one would like as a neighbor, he would be a good choice for a fishing or hunting group, BUT never should he be allowed to hold office.

America can not withstand another period of Big Government, World Government, NWO advocates.

In defense of my admission of having voted for the Bush Brothers, the Old Cotton Farmer’s “’Twas the lesser of the two wievels’” is my excuse.

There were Klintoons loose in America back then. And runnin’ for office, they were!
