Good one.

Jeb is so far along with the NWO agenda, he's already put abortion-on-demand in his rearview mirror and is boldly and manfully taking on tomorrow's issues: how to deal with euthanizing the Boomers ..... and recalcitrant Oldthinkers.

No to any Bush’s Romney’s Huckasquirrel and Newt’s.

These idiots don’t realize the Tea Party came about NOT just because of O and his Marxist policies. The Tea Party has it’s origins opposing Bush’s bank bail out. This is what the DC elite don’t understand. We don’t want any more establishment types.

Not true IF..................Jeb would chunk the Bush family tendency to allow liberals to get away with lying about them. IF he is willing to go against family tradition, and FIGHT the lying SOBs, then he has my support.

RE :”This article is correct in that if Jeb wants to be President he needs to run in 2012, not least of which because hopefully a good Republican will be elected in 2012 and be running for reelection in 2016.

Last year Obama would have lost easily. In fact many here had their 2012 victory celibration last year, a bit prematurely.

Next year it is not so clear. Losing Pelosi as Speaker definitely helped Obama in 2012. He is playing to the center now and has the MSM transmitting the message that he is ‘doing all the right things’ to help him win even though things are bad.

I think we will know by August who has the upper hand, certainly by years end.

"It’s a wide-open field for a nomination that’s worth having. "

It isn't wide open for a Bush, when the Bush family is busily bashing conservatives.

“Rich is a closet RINO who just outted himself.”

He has been out of the closet for a long time, VR...as has National Review. It is no longer relevant except inside the Beltway echo chamber.

As for Bush, let him run. In her speech at the Reagan ranch, Palin adverted to the coming clash between the anti-Government Reaganism that she now represents and the 20 years of “subtle” Bush-Clinton government expansionism (under the guise of compassion) which led to the financial crisis, big government “on steroids” and Obama, in that order. I believe she intends to run against both Bush and Obama.

If there is no Bush in the primary race, her campaign against the Bushes will be more “subtle”, to use her phrase. If Jeb Bush enters the race, she will be able to draw an even sharper distinction between herself as a kind of retrograde Reagan, on the one hand, and the 22 years of Bush-Clinton-Bush, that spawned Obama and the $14.3 trillion dollar hole we now find ourselves in.

If Bush does run, she would be able at once to attack Obama and disengage herself from Bush’s big government baggage at the same time.

That said, I doubt Bush will run, because he probably knows he couldn’t beat her or Obama and he would not risk his family’s future on a fool’s errand like this one. But, if he runs, Sarah Palin’s strategy is clear. And a spirited primary with Bush might actually benefit her.

The National Review is no longer worth the paper its printed on.

William F. Buckley must be twisting in his grave.

Lots of posters here would rather see Obama re-elected than see Jeb win the White House.

If that's what it takes to keep out da Bushes, then that's what it will take.

Nixon, Dole, Bush, except for 1964 and 2008 every republican ticket since 1950 has featured someone with one of those names on it. It is time for us to move on.

Yup. But the important thing is....the Royal Family will live on, and in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

And it doesn't matter who the peasants are, they can be controlled: white, brown, black. And when you're finished with them, as you said....lights out. We don't need ya anymore, Sucker.

Statement from the Terri Schindler Schiavo foundation on the retirement of Judge Greer.

Pretty restrained statement about the ranting cracker POS who murdered their daughter in the cruelest way possible.

Little Jebby coulda done something but he clutched when he thought it might have crimped his career plans

>>>This isn’t Central or South America: We’re not a banana republic where the same families take turns “ruling” the country

We became a banana republic when we voted for George W. Bush in the year 2000, based on name recognition, instead of voting for a real conservative such as Steve Forbes.

Since I was helping Steve in Iowa at the time, I tend to agree with you.

“Rich, just shut up and go away for about 12 years or so...”

Didn’t you forget a “0” after the “12”?
