Oops!

I guess I really made my point that time!

Sorry about that.

What the he!! happened?

He’s going to endorse Romney and hope this article will bring conservatives along with him. Thats what its for.

He’ll probably do it before Florida. But it could come earlier if the Romney campaign feels they need it.

Sorry I’m late.

“No Bush - No Way”

GO NEWT GO...

[chiller]

I don't understand the Bush hating. Neither 41, or 43, or Jeb are perfect, but this editorial is frikn' golden. GOLDEN. He's expressed it better than any politician I've heard. Ever.

Immigration is my only known beef with Jeb, but see tagline....

All those gun loving Bible thumping red necks

Do not buy the Democrat's "Urban Legend" about the "Republican" religious conservatives. The Bible Belt and the South within memory of living man used to be solid Democrat Territory.

These people did not turn Republican. They were driven into the Republican Party.

[Revolting cat!]

Bush’s fault!

[Theodore R.]

Dear Bush Family: You have done enough for our nation

Oops, the preposition is wrong, not "for" but "to".

[Theodore R.]

Yea, that reminds me of how GWB sent a low-level functionary to represent him at the funeral of Jerry Falwell, who did a lot for the Bushes over the years. Ingratitude is the Bush co-word.

[Theodore R.]

And GHWB went sailing, I believe it was, rather than attend the funeral of Lee Atwater, who did the most to get him elected in 1988.

I agree. I wrote it that way thinking most folks would understand without me going that far. I certainly agree with your premise, and another person mentioned it too.

In short, we must choose between the straight line promised by the statists and the jagged line of economic freedom. The straight line of gradual and controlled growth is what the statists promise but can never deliver. The jagged line offers no guarantees but has a powerful record of delivering the most prosperity and the most opportunity to the most people. We cannot possibly know in advance what freedom promises for 312 million individuals. But unless we are willing to explore the jagged line of freedom, we will be stuck with the straight line. And the straight line, it turns out, is a flat line.

Well, he can certainly write! Jeb Bush was governor of Florida for most of the years that I lived here, and he was excellent, btw. His personality is also a lot different from that of his brother or father.

I was born in a small North Eastern Oklahoma town in 1938, so I know a little about that.

My very best friend for life, hated everything the Democrat party did, but never voted for a Republican in his life. I don't understand it, but I know it exists.

Lee Atwater

May the last Republican who showed testicular fortitude on the national election scene rest in peace. With the Mombasa MF in the WH, Lee must be doing at least 1250 RPM in his grave.

[DoughtyOne]

Isn’t that the truth.

I miss the guy. He died way too young.
