Barbara Bush Starts Fundraising for Jeb: ‘Pushing Him to Run’
National Review Online ^ | March 18, 2015 | Joel Gehrke

Posted on 03/18/2015 8:44:56 AM PDT by C19fan

Jeb Bush’s campaign addressed the problem of his mother saying the country doesn’t need another Bush presidency head-on, in a fundraising email signed by Barbara Bush herself. “When the idea of Jeb running for President first came up, I was hesitant,” Mrs. Bush writes. “You may have heard about that. When you see the pounding candidates, their spouses, and even their children take, what mother wouldn’t be? But our problems are so profound that America needs a leader who can renew the promise of this great nation.”

God bless Mrs. Bush but we don't need a modern day Queen Victoria whose brood spread out across Europe filling up various Crowns.

Can’t we have one blessed generation without a Kennedy or Bush running for something?

I KNEW it. Nothing else explains his sabotaging his own candidacy by spouting amnesty idiocy.

Just stand up to mom, Jeb.

I received this email this morning and immediately “unsubscribed”.

Dear-——

When the idea of Jeb running for President first came up, I was hesitant. You may have heard about that. When you see the pounding candidates, their spouses, and even their children take, what mother wouldn’t be?

But our problems are so profound that America needs a leader who can renew the promise of this great nation.

Which is why today I’m starting the Run Jeb Run fund.

I’m asking if you can give $250, $100, $50 or whatever you can immediately.

I know that’s a lot to ask, but Jeb is our best chance of taking back the White House in 2016, and I hope that you will join me in pushing him to run.

We need and appreciate your help, John.

Thank you for your support and I look forward to counting you among our ranks.

Barbara Bush

Another example of the addiction of power and politics

No sane mother would let another son go through this

Wasn't this the same Barbara Bush who said she thought we had enough Bushes in the White House?

Guess she was lying just like her hubby "Read My Lips" Bush.

Me, too. I replied that me or anyone I know would ever vote for him and he’s wasting his time. I called him a RINO who is more Democrat than Republican.

“Remove me from your list”.

I get the feeling the RINO party formerly known as the Republican party, is going to nominate him solely so the Democraps nominee can win. Since Hitlery is all but destroyed now thanks to Obama and his Iranian spy Jarrett, I think this means we will have the first Native American President.

Yes . . . . but it ain't Jeb Bush. As much as I admire Barbara Bush, I'm going to have to disagree with her on this one.

Jebster will never be President.

He’s running to be the designated loser, amnesty candidate for the R jersey division of the Uniparty.

Anything to keep us from electing a President who will stop the invasion.

Can’t wait for the fun when he’s the nominee that we “have to” vote for.

I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR JEB BUSH!

FRinos can try whatever tactic they think will work, none will.
