Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush will make a decision on whether he’ll enter the 2016 presidential race by the end of this year, he said during an interview on Fox News Channel Sunday during the 25th anniversary celebration of his father’s presidency in College Station, Texas.
...
He said in the Fox News interview that illegal immigration is, for many people, an effort to provide for their families, and “not a felony.”
“It’s an act of love. It’s an act of commitment to your family,” Bush said. “I honestly think that that is a different kind of crime. There should be a price paid, but it shouldn’t rile people up that people are actually coming to this country to provide for their families.”
Recent polling shows that the Florida Republican would be a formidable candidate: In a CBS News/New York Times poll conducted in February, 41 percent of Republicans said they would like to see Bush run, edging out Sen. Rand Paul (39%), Sen. Marco Rubio (32%), New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (31%) and Sen. Ted Cruz (24%).

Can’t believe someone doesn’t have the sense to tell him see reality.

I like that plan!
Really?
What kind of crime can we Americans commit that you would term an "act of love" that you would then forgive us for?
Oh that's right. Nothing.
The back of the hand and harsh treatment if we so much as misspell our names on a 1040 form.
Are "Republicans" masochists? Do we enjoy being kicked by the people who profess to lead us?
Why George Pee? I haven’t heard him say anything appealing to conservatives.
I think that Jeb Bush is pretty well guaranteed the vote of everybody who contributes more than $10,000 to his campaign. But that’s about it.
He’ll have to buy every bit of his primary win. He’ll have to have a stranglehold on the convention to prevent a revolution. And he will still be massacred by Hillary Clinton, because the rank and file of the Republican party are still so revolted by the idea of another Bush in office that they would just refuse to vote, and Hillary will win solely with Democrat votes.
And the great irony in this is that the Republican leadership would far rather see Hillary win than any conservative. They don’t care if the United States sinks like the Titanic as long as some liberal internationalist gets to wear the Captain’s hat as it goes down.
Just damn them.
Oh, he’ll run. Why wouldn’t he? The entire GOP-e machine will be pushing him to do it, so as to keep Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, or any other conservative from getting any ideas.
DO they want their votes or not?
Bush - Romney, or Bush - McCain, or maybe Bush - Cristie, or (wow!) Bush - Bush!!!
Might be too late for Texas, Shrub G.P. easily won his TX primary for Land Commissioner.
I figure we run Palin in 2016. Then we’ve got four or eight years to get to know George P. Bush better.
I’m optimistic about him, but don’t really know much about him yet.
I was leading with just a chant for Palin, but I’m cautiously optimistic so far about George P.
Might be wrong, we shall see.
Besides, I have another Texas politician in mind.
illegal immigration is, for many people, an effort to provide for their families, and “not a felony.”
I agree with the reason, this being a personal desire of both parents for a better way of life for thier family but not with the lawless determination that is not a felony. Ther are laws and this idiot knows none of them
Running Bus would save me a lot of time, I wouldn’t need to listen to any of the speeches, I already know what he’ll say, same thing as Hillery says.
It will save me a lot of time on election day as I won’t bother to go and vote for any Liberal, democrat or republican.
Then they need to take their issues to the Meh-Hee-Can government.
