Who will be the GOP nominee for president in 2012?

[Jefferson Liberal]

I think it will be Jeb Bush because he is a successful former Governor of a state with no income tax, he speaks fluent Spanish and latinos love him, and he is an intellectual heavyweight.

Who do you think it will be?

[cweese]

Yeah, I don’t think the country will ever vote another Bush, Clinton, or Obama into the White House.

[LibLieSlayer]

The Tea Party will not allow it... and NO MORE BUSHES!

LLS

Enjoy your short stay at FR. Bush is a 4 letter word around here.

Palin may run as the Tea Party candidate. It’s about time we had more than two major parties.

She won't.. and it's NOT a good idea to split the GOP; that will guarantee a dem majority.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Amen. She’s way too smart to fall into a mistake that dumb. It wouldn’t make for ‘more than two major parties’ - it would make a major party and two minor ones.

but I think she’d have a lot of trouble getting the party chiefs to let it happen.

Who are these party chiefs? I can’t think of a name of someone leading the party other than Demint and Palin.

One of the grocery store tabloids had a story a few weeks ago that Bill only had a few months left to live. I can't recall what they said the issue was. I'm sticking with the cocaine thing all though Bell's is a good fit along with the stroke thing. Coke can give mini strokes. Oh and I just remembered that there was a story that Chelsea's wedding date was accelerated because of “medical issues”. I think that was TMZ.

[Jefferson Liberal]

Haha, you’re right. I should have gone with Jim DeMint.

[November 2010]

Palin may run as the Tea Party candidate. It’s about time we had more than two major parties.

Now I’m for ZOT. First another Bush, now a third party? C’mon.

[DustyMoment]

It won’t be Jeb. America is tired of dynasties and Bush 43 was the last.

[truthandlife]

If it is up to the media they will try their hardest to get Mitt Romney. You will see “Operation Dole/McCain” at a TV near you in the next 2 years.

[November 2010]

Never said I was a conservative.

This is a conservative forum. Why are you here?

[calex59]

F*** Bush and all the other Bushes. I am hoping for Sarah Palin. Boot all of the RINOs to the side of the curb.

[mad_as_he$$]

None of that will matter since she was put through hell by Bill. The female sympathy vote will put her over the top.

[Jefferson Liberal]

I’m an ardent fiscal conservative.

[arthurus]

I am convinced it will be George Romney. He is the man Democrats prefer to be the Republican nominee because he is highly unlikely to beat the Kenyan in 2012 and even if he does the Democrats haven’t lost much. He will maintain all of their gains and add some Democrat gains of his own. The Democrats will be a very large factor in Republican primaries in 2012 unless Mrs. Clinton runs against Soetoro. If she stays out a very large number of Democrats will be Republicans-for-a-day and will vote for Romney. They made the choice in 2008 and will make the choice in 2012. The RNC will be all in for Romney because he is Next In Line, it is His Turn. Romney is the bobdole of this cycle.

[November 2010]

Then why did you imply you are not a conservative?

[AnnaZ]

If I had to make a guess now, I’d likely go with some combination of Palin and Perry.

I have no idea why, but on July 3rd, 2009 I made the same prediction. lol. Think I made it on FR too, but I can't find it.

=)

[arthurus]

Jeb is a BUSH. George was a Conservative, unlike his father. Everyone ignored the "compassionăte" label he chose. He sounded so very conservative but turned out to be a big government statist like his father. Jeb was a very good governor of my state. I do not want him or any other Bush to be President. They give us Clintons and Kenyans.

[Jefferson Liberal]

Because I’m liberal on most everything except fiscal issues.
