Because out of all the potential Republican candidates, he's the only one in my opinion who's any good.
Well, I might go along with George Allen or Newt Gingrich (If he runs).
Maybe even Condi.
He IS good. Who knows what will happen....
I would vote for him in a New York minute!
Shoot!
Who cares!
As long as he makes a good president, I don't care if his name's Romplestiltskin.
And, truly, it makes those complainers look so UN-American - since when does our country deny someone a chance because of his or her last name? That would be terrible. Especially in this case, for such a fine gov, whom so many voters in this often divided state really support and trust.
LOL!
Now I know Gov. Bush is popular! :o)
You said you'd take any self-made man over a "trust fund baby" every time.
And I said I'd take an honest man born rich over a liar and a cheat born poor every time and twice on Sundays.
Accident of birth is no reason to vote for or against someone.
Would it be so bad to have three presidents from the same family, especially if they are good at what they do?
Hey - he really IS "Florida's Favorite Governor!" :)
The funny thing is I think Gov Jeb Bush would be the BEST, no offense intended to his dad or brother.
Now Florida can give him up to the rest of us.
Texas had to do it.
Gov Jeb Bush has always worked hard. He was not handed any election win, and he always had a job before he was elected gov of this state. He did not sit around waiting to be "crowned" contrary to what some imagine has gone on in his life.
Accident of Birth is absolutley no reason to vote for them either. Basically if another Bush runs in the next election he will lose unless we cheat. Let's run somebody new from some other family instead of another Bush.
I kinda like him better that George, (and I really like W as president)
Really, if there were no terms limits in Florida, I am sure he could win the governor's office for a long time in this state. (And, no recounting necessary when he runs.)
I happen to agree that he may be more reliably conservative than any other big-name candidate (I admit I'm steamed about the Terri Schiavo thing, but there are limits I suppose to what a politician can do in the face of opposition from public opinion and the establishment of both parties). I'm somewhat uncomfortable with a single family holding the presidency for so long in so short a space of time, however.
That really depends on who ELSE runs - if it's Hillary "Clinton," I hardly think anyone can make an argument against a "Bush."
Only once since 1948 has there been a Republican Presidential Ticket without someone named Nixon, Dole or Bush on it. That was also the only time we got crushed (1964).
