While he MIGHT have been a darling to Florida and national conservatives, Jeb Bush is married to a native of Mexico (Columbo is the daughter of a migrant worker). And before you scream “ethnocentric bigot” at me, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. Love knows no bounds.
But that fact DOES predispose him to a warm and fuzzy feeling for folks from south of the Rio Grande.
And if — in some strange and metastasizing American desire to return to a royal family dynasty — Jeb or his son should win the White House in some future presidential beauty contest designed to divert the American electorate every four years, I’d bet that HIS activities toward this alien invasion will make W’s behavior look like a warm-up exercise.
Between the invasion from the south and the Muslim invasion, any vestige of European culture — the culture MY great-grandparents and probably yours brought here after standing in line at places like Ellis Island, being interrogated, deloused and recorded — will be a distant memory – IF it’s remembered at all.
Bracing for FLAMES from the Bush people in here.
LOL!
Not ever going to happen... unless democrats abandon hildebeast and vote for the other progressive.
I don’t know how the undecideds will swing, but there is NO WAY Jeb or Krispy will ever get my vote.
P-h-h-h-t-t-t. Screw that crap.
We sure do need a second party.
See my tag line below.
7 letters, yes...
Except it’s spelled T-E-D C-R-U-Z.
The day Jeb gets the nominee is the day I book an election day vacation trip. How’s Tahiti in early November?
I don’t care what his last name is. In other words, I’m open in theory to some Bush family member being president again.
In theory.
But Jeb? No way I’d support him in a primary. Another McRomney (more Romney than McCain — but with McCain’s LOVE of “look at me, I’m joining with Dems to bash conservatives”).
Barney Bishop is out of his freakin’ mind.
If Jeb Bush is the nominee, he will join Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney as the latest GOP designated loser.
Jeb Bush would be toxic for the GOP with independents and with the GOP base. Not a snowball’s chance.
Since around circa 2000 when I began to lurk here, I would read posts by Freepers who made the decision not to vote at all if it meant compromising their principles. During those elections I still felt that to vote for the lesser of two evils, meaning vote for a RINO or not at all...well, for instance I voted for McCain ONLY because of Sarah Palin, was slightly better than staying home.
I’m one of those who believe the fix is in, because nothing is being done about voter fraud, though I know it is my sacred obligation to vote, in reverence to those who died for my freedom, that I have matured enough to understand and decide why I cannot continue to vote for the lesser of two evils.
I’m down in Alabama from Brooklyn now, and at a minimum, politicians here will have to pass the Tea Party standard.
At a minimum.
Shame me once, shame on you. Shame me twice, shame on me. Shame me thrice, ...
I’ll vote for Christie before I vote for another Bush. No more Bushes. No more Roves.
I’m done voting for RINOs.
That headline made me url up my lunch.... This is the worst Bush possible, and that’s saying something!
Yes and there is some excellent swamp land in Florida to use to grow corn./s
I think at this point, if you say either of those guys is the best for 2016, you’re basically conceding the election now. I think the hard-core passionate base for Jeb either is related to him or works for him. I think Christie is on his way there. I think pushing either of those guys as the safe nominee, after the establishment’s last few “safe” choices turned out not so much, is going to cause a bunch of people to throw up their hands and say “forget this party”. That’s not a threat, I think it’s just a simple fair reading of the mood of the electorate.
I would vote for whoever the dem would be. The Bushes have presided over the destruction of America, and they love it.
