George Bush, the president's father, would like to see another Bush in the White House someday, saying on Tuesday that he would want his son Jeb to run for president when the timing is right.
Florida Governor Jeb Bush has repeatedly said he does not plan to run for president in 2008, trying to dampen speculation that another Bush could be on the next Republican ticket for the White House.
In an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live," former President Bush said he would want Jeb to run for president "someday," but now was not the time.
"The timing's wrong. The main thing is, he doesn't want to do it. Nobody believes that," Bush said.
But he and wife Barbara both said they believed Jeb, 52, did not want to run in the next presidential race.
Bush said he did not have a favorite candidate for the Republican nomination to succeed his son, President Bush.
Barbara Bush said she believed Senator and former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton would be the Democratic nominee in the 2008 presidential race. "I'm not going to vote for her, but I'm betting on her," she said.
Interesting, I could get behind that.
"dismantling the nation's sovereignty" . . . that's tin foil nonsense!
[BTW: Haven't we moved from an agrarian society, thru an industrial society to the current information/service-based society . . . Could have sworn I heard that somewhere . . . could it have been in one of those pesky MBA classes?!]
Interesting.
Would you have been in favor of an executive imposition of power in the Shiavo case, even if it were in violation of applicable law, and the state and federal constitutions?
Yes, Terri's dead and nothing can fix that. But it wasn't right, even if it was done under color of law.
I'd almost agree, if I thought that mob-rule populism was a good thing.
Since our law comes from the Senate and the House (and not a King-President), a two term Senate and, say maybe, a six term limit on Representatives would be more productive to a free nation.
George W. Bush '08
REPEAL THE AMENDMENT THAT PROHIBITS A THIRD TERM!
Sigh ...
The Congressional subpeona angle should have been pursued, with vigor.
I agree. Terri is dead, and it wasn't right. While it was done under the color of law and was *legal*, it wasn't necessarily *right*.
I completely agree on that.
I'll vote for another Bush when the Airbus has pigs in every seat.
And you offered that because?
And the next 3 generations.
My vote: possible, nope, no way, nope.
Or maybe I should write in Ron Paul (again).
I thought is was succinct.
May I guess that the thought of a Jeb Bush presidency makes you feel all warm and gooey?
Daddy Bush was a joke. Gee Dubya, except for his stand in the War on Terror, is a joke. I have little hope for Jeb.
We need a REAL conservative next time; not a wishy-washy "compassionate" conservative. I'll say it again: Juck Feb.
Dang. That's a bummer. Can you point me to your pages where you demonstrated or otherwise fought against this law at the time it was passed?
Why?
So, I gather you are "for" state murder.
After the way he handled Teri Shiavo, I wouldn't vote for him for anything. I have a long memory!
2008 looks like a golden opportunity for a third party candidate. Shoot, I may have to clear my calender for that year.
Does Ross Perot have any sane children? ;o)
Did his "good friend" Bill Clinton suggest this to him?
