MIAMI — When Jeb Bush left office four years ago, his public appearances were as scarce as bi-partisan man hugs.
He didn't want to upstage his successor in the governor's mansion nor his brother in the White House. Instead, he quietly cashed in by joining corporate boards and an elite speakers bureau, penned policy essays and gave infrequent interviews to conservative media.
But in recent months, as the Republican Party of Florida has grappled with a leadership vacuum, Bush's political profile has grown as fast as the national deficit ...

W’s brother Jeb for prez makes the idea of Scott Brown’s brother for CT senator look good.
Why not Meghan McCain instead?
MA was the event that proved once and for all that Democrats would still attack the military for political reasons, and that the MSM would report lies and deceive readers in order to help Democrats.
What slogan would have been better for a battleship that was being decommissioned after a long, storied, successful run of service?
Speaking of lies.
How about a conservative with a nice bust?
Still haven’t seen anyone worthy for 2012. I hope someone emerges at some point, but none of these people get it.
That “Mission Accomplished” banner was put on display on the carrier USS Abraham Lincoln prior to a televised speech given by George W. Bush on the ship on May 1, 2003.
The speech announced the end of major combat operations in Iraq. The guerilla war soon followed.
I always understood that it was the sailors who placed the banner on display, prior to George W’s visit.
Right, No more Bush.

The deception comes from those who portray it as anything other than a major screwup among many.
Bush? Really?
Remember vote early, vote often and always support the GOP.
When it comes to the Bush family, the only information he accepts are his own insane, inane rants.
The USS Abraham Lincoln is a carrier, not a battleship. It was not decommissioned and is still in service.
That said, I think the banner was entirely appropriate in referring to the mission of the ship.
Bush did not use the term in his speech to refer to the American mission in Iraq being completed.
The banner was a political misstep, but it wasn’t a “lie.”
NO NO NO AND NO
Are you saying that the ship that was being retired had not had a successful service life, or that it had not accomplished its mission?
So, if it’s Obama and Bush would you still not vote for Jeb? Not saying it will nor should be Jeb Bush...but certainly you can’t mean you’d rather the Annointed One stays in office to continue to destroy American Freedom just to avoid another Bush Presidency!
Not interested...NO WAY NO HOW. BEEN THERE DONE WITH THAT.
THE COUNTRY HAD RINO HERPES TWICE DON”T NEED IT AGAIN
Sorry, I’m out. Too moderate.
