The Existential Threat of Bushism

Tucker Carlson pronounces Jeb Bush "the Future of the Republican Party," which is rather like saying that hamburgers are the future of cows.

I've been warning about The Jeb Menace since before the last election. Nov. 1, 2008:

Palin is being sabotaged by Republicans who are trying to scramble aboard the Jeb Bush 2012 bandwagon.

[madamemayhem]

if God loves us he will not allow us to be burdened with another bush. amnesty, spending like a drunken democrat, yeah, we do not need another “compassionate conservative” bush.

[tet68]

No, Jeb is a nonstarter as far as I’m concerned.

[DannyTN]

I’d take Jeb over Romney any time, but Jeb’s no Palin. And we need Palin.

[FreepShop1]

No more Bushes or Clintons in the White House. Put it in the Constitution, just to be safe.

[pnh102]

Ugh... enough with the Bush family.

[mockingbyrd]

Jeb seems like a very nice guy and he mostly likely is a very good man. But no more Bushes....please.

[RobinMasters]

LOL !

[THX 1138]

Uh..., who cares what Tucker Carlson thinks?

[Patrick1]

Jeb is doomed by his father and brother. He should run for U.S. Senate from Florida if he cared about the party or the conservative movement.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

4 years ago, Clinton was going to be the future of the ‘rats, too.

[re_tail20]

Jeb Bush just might be to us Conservatives and Republicans what Hillary Clinton was to the Democrats up until last year - the inevitable establishment candidate that has to have his inevitability taken away by force by Sarah Palin - just as Barack Obama did to Hillary.

[jazminerose]

Exactly. No more Bush/Clinton/Kennedy please. This is not a House of Lords.

[Darren McCarty]

Jeb may be the best of the Bushes, but I've had enough fiscal liberal republicans.

I'll vote for him over Obama, McCain, or Romney, but that's like me saying I'd vote to get slapped in the face instead of being punched in the gut, kneed in the face, or kicked in the groin.

[AAABEST]

Jeb would be a green, shamnesty, corporatist, land grabbing, Royal Rockefeller nightmare. This is what he was in Florida. Just recently he was moaning that the GOP has been losing big because they aren't liberal enough, then just yesterday there was was an article with him shilling for the shamnesty legislation - again.

Jesse Jackson is right for once: "Stay outta da Bushes."

I say this as a Floridian and a former Young Republican who was a member of several of his Broward committees during his first election.

[JaneNC]

I like Jeb.

[txhurl]

George P. Bush, his son, is the Bush to watch.

[frankiep]

If another Bush is the best the RNC can do in 2012 then if will be safe to say that the party has officially jumped the shark.

[Blado]

Read my lips, no new Bushes.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

No more northeast liberals period.
