SOURCES: Jeb Bush hits back at the Obama's criticism of his brother and mulls his own political future... Developing...
W is very much a Texan, and it’s ridiculous for a North Carolinian to argue otherwise. You may not want him, but there are a lot of us who wish with all our might that he was still in the WH instead of the Obamanation.
A big problem that conservatives and red state Republicans have is that the blue states who will not go Republican in a presidential election, can pick our Republican presidential nominee unless conservatives are united around one or two candidates.
The blue states mostly gave us Juan McCain, and they could give us Jeb Bush under the right, er, WRONG Republican primary scenario.
Announcements of candidacy and primary campaigning will kick off in about nine or so months.
>>Indeed he did....few folks remember that - or choose to remember.
Arizona remembers it all too well.
NO MORE AMNESTY!
Give ma another BUSH anyday over the DISGRACE we have now !!
Hugo Obama in 2012 or Jeb Bush ??
Jeb had a chance to be a national hero and thwart the little blind gollum swamp judge in Fl. who ordered the death of Terri Schiavo. Instead Jeb wimped out in the end and so went his standing too. We are all Bushed out and need some fresh conservative meat eaters for pols.
1986 was a different country, able to absorb the smaller number of illegals.
Born in New England from a long line of New Englanders
Educated in private schools for the New England aristocracy
Moved to Texas during a Bush diaspora
Only the deluded (and non-Southern) think he’s a Texan
/My family has been in the South for over 150 years, so don’t BS me
I hope Jeb does run. He may be our only hope. The other candidates have some problems as follows.
Romney - Romneycare
Mitch Daniels - sold out the social conservatives
Huckabee- a joke
Sarah - fine by me but needs to polish up a bit.
My Ticket- JEB/SARAH 2012!
Absolutely!

He also withdrew from Lebanon and allowed Al Qaeda to form. Reagan was one of our greatest... but Amnesty was one of his few mistakes.

Words fail me.
Hey, Hotshot, my family has been in Texas longer than yours has been in the nebulous “south.” Don’t try to tell me who’s a Texan and who isn’t.
A lot of the crap tossed at Bush while he was President was because he talked and thought like Texans do. I still appreciate the strength of character and class he brought to both our governor’s mansion and to the White House.
We are not a country of inherited power. No Bush III ever
Keep on deluding yourself. It obviously makes you feel better.
People like the Bushes (and the Obamaites) depend on your sort of David Icke-level of self-delusion.
And I just have to say it. If you want class, ask Angela Merkel about W’s class when he grabbed her at that international convention in front of the press. Her face says “Oh, you so classy GI.”
I will give your hero credit for being more acceptable than Slick, though, who WAS Southern through-and-through. Anyone who grew up in the rural South knew a conman like him.
And would beat on him during gym.
Oh, and look up “cognitive dissonance.
It’s the reason you get emotional instead of dismissive when someone criticizes W.
