All conservatives and Republicans should take a long, hard look at what condition Bush 41 and 43 left the party in as they departed the White House.

Before her fall, Peggy Noonan called the Bushes “wastrels”, people who took the political power and influence earned by others, then they frittered it away, ignoring what had brought the Republican their power in the first place.

She was right, and we need no more Bushes in high office.

But I bet Colin Powell and John McCain would endorse Jeb.

Is GWB trying to ruin his brother’s chances? He should come out and say that Jeb is “Horrible, an absolute snake, someone Dick Cheney and I would never have allowed anywhere near power in our Administration.” ;)

Looking back at the heated immigration debate of 2006, Bush said Republicans came off as “anti-Latino.” “

Nope.
Republicans came off as strongly pro enforcement of our immigration laws, and against amnesty for criminals that break our laws. That's what Republicanism is about, not amnesty for law breakers.

No more Bushes! Ever! I don't care how conservative they are; a pox on the house of Bush for what both Georges have done to the United States.

I second that!

“I think the party would benefit a lot by having Jeb Bush in the U.S. Senate,”

“I think Florida would benefit a lot. I think the country would benefit a lot. And I think the Republican Party would benefit a lot.”

Wow, this President Bush guy sure is eloquent.....

“To rebuild the GOP brand, the former governor has said the party needs to embrace reform and broaden the party’s outreach, especially to Hispanics.”

Lots of people blathering about reaching out to Hispanics, but they seldom get specific. Just what does that mean other than amnesty for illegals, and more and more lax rules that will allow more and more Hispanics into the US?

When will these nuts learn that they are facilitating the entry of millions of natural Democrat party constituents into the US. Just because the Bushes and Rove had a few Hispanic friends in Texas and Florida doesn’t mean that all Hispanics have fallen in love with the Republican party.

I’d say you’re right, so long as you include entering our country ILLEGALLY in your definition of “break our laws” and “law breakers”. Strong pro-enforcement of our immigration laws = NO amnesty of ANY kind for ANY illegal aliens. They’re ALL criminals.

Sorry Dubya. You screwed the pooch for your brother.
NO. MORE. BUSHES - period, end, stop.

I don't live in FL, but that's irrelevant. The last thing I want is ANOTHER Open Border RINO Senator making laws that affect me. And anyone who thinks Jeb would be tough on illegals or Border Security when he has a Mexican wife has rocks in their head. Jeb would be WORSE than Open Borders Mel and Juan McInsane combined.

Here Jeb, so YOU can understand it: No. Más. Arbustos.

Our children’s children’s children will have a Bush and/or a Kennedy in the House and/or Senate. Mark my words.

Don’t be fooled. GW was a great governor in Texas, but Texas politics and Washington politics are quite different.

The President is a N *clang*

What did he say?

He said the ‘President is near’.
