Could Terri Schiavo be reached for comment?

I’m better off just not commenting on that Buddy-Buddy photo of the Bush’s with Obama. It’s just too much a disgusting exercise in jubilant self defeat for further contemplation.

I feel a third party brewing...as that’s just not an option. Not just with Republicans who are sick of Bush’s destroying our party, but with independents and Democrats who will run enthusiastically away.

The campaign narrative is obvious. It is the Clinton 90s boom vs the Bush recession. I could write the Democrat’s campaign plan and win.

In Florida, I’d probably sit it out. The only modicum of benefit of a Jeb candidacy is that we would win back Florida by a mile and be able to focus on Ohio and Virginia.

"He's just picking the most liberal Republican out there now that John McCain won't run again."

No, Beckel is picking the most polarizing candidate for GOP infighting and the softest target for the left to strike. Another Bush will anger a great number of conservatives and keep them home on their couches come election day.

“Jeb’s big problem is his last name.”

Yeah, that and his ideas on immigration. Not sure which will kill his candidacy first.

Jeb Bush once again told a group he is thinking of running for president.

Ron Doughty once again told a group he is thinking of not voting in 2016.

Mmmm, no, his biggest problem is that he’s a conservative hating liberal.

Jeb's big problem is his last name.

His biggest problem is that he stood by as Terri Schiavo was murdered by judicial fiat. HE is dead to me.

Jeb’s support for Common Core and unreconstructed neocon foreign policy/surveillance state are also major vote losers.

Yeah, that act of love comment was pretty weird.

That kind of spew comes straight from his father Poppy, the idiot who stabbed Reagan in the back in 1989 by calling for a "kinder gentler nation" and his profoundly mediocre brother who trashed conservatism by calling for a "compassionate" conservatism.

Let's face it. Time to call it like it is: The Bushes are elitist prima donnas who have no use for the common man and no appreciation for his struggles with the world these hot house Ivy League a-holes have created for them.

Your list looks good except for the inclusion of pro-illegal Rand Paul.

The Obama Media is always willing to drop more important work to help republicans pick their candidates.


This is to be expected.

However, the thing that continually blows me away is the fact that so many presstitutes talk with gravitas about the need for foreign policy experience. Obama? Seriously?
