"What difference does it make?"

Former President George W. Bush says he isn’t interested in playing on the national political stage any longer. But for family, he’s making an exception.
Asked in an interview with ABC News’ Diane Sawyer whether he thinks his brother former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush should run for president in 2016, the ex-president was unequivocal.
“He’d be a marvelous candidate if he chooses to do so. He doesn’t need my counsel ’cause he knows what it is, which is ‘run,’ ” the elder Bush brother said about Jeb’s possible candidacy, in an interview that first aired Wednesday on “World News with Diane Sawyer.” “But whether he does or not, it’s a very personal decision.”
The former president even allowed himself to picture the potential 2016 matchup: Jeb Bush vs. Hillary Rodham Clinton. It would be a family rematch of the 1992 election, when George H.W. Bush lost to Bill Clinton.
“It’ll be a fantastic photo here. It would certainly eclipse the museum and the center,” Bush said on the eve of the formal opening of the George W. Bush Presidential Center at Southern Methodist University, just outside Dallas. “I’m interested in politics. I’m, you know, I’m fascinated by all the gossip and stuff that goes on. But the field won’t be become clear ’til after the midterms.”
Asked for a word of advice to the Republican Party, the former president struck an optimistic note amid rounds of GOP soul-searching: “You will exist in the future,” he said with a smile.
On several major issues, though, Bush made clear he’s staying away from day-to-day political battles.

NO MORE BUSH!! Jeb is being sent in to finish the job, if the current crop of traitors fail. Amnesty will be the end of America!!
And until we begin to name it and fight it...we haven't even begun to save ourselves...our civilization.
If Jeb said that...I might listen to him.
And unamerican.
Turns out she’s a freaking abortion pusher. Pure EVIL!!
It occurred to me, how else could he answer that stupid question? Is he supposed to say, no, he would su**?
Just clueless interviewing all the way around, imho.
The CIA is the common link.

I have no interest in anyone running who isn't full in, head full of steam, ready to go to the mattresses to win....

1. He opposed oil & natural gas drilling off the Florida coast.
2. He stated he would be willing to raise taxes in a deal with the ‘RATS...just like dear ol’ dad.
Two Country Club Republicans named Bush in the Oval Office is enough.
Levin is talking about this very issue now.
Read my lips, no new Bushes.
