Ok.. I love this new party! It is the party of truth in politics. Please bump this thread and make it a talking point. I will not vote for Jeb Bush. I am looking for a hashtag now.

Hillary has NO PLACE in politics - local - state - or FEDERAL! ever again....
Hey, if his protégé, the Orange Menace (Chuckie Crist) can do it, so can Jebbie.
And save us from another Dole, McCain, Romney? Oh Yes.
I have been saying for several years that, should a conservative win the GOP nomination, that Jeb Bush would run as Hillary’s VP on some kind of “ticket of national salvation”.
This becomes more probable - maybe much more probable - if the odds catch up with “Obama” and he is somehow removed from office prior to January 2017.
The new National Socialist party
“Should Jeb Bush Switch Parties?”
And what, become a Republican?
A Jeb Bush/Hillary Clinton ticket...hmm...much drama possible...Bush could be sworn in...be the third Bush, only to Mysteriously Croak days later, leading to Hillary becoming the preezy.
Yes, and please take Myth Bomney, Lindsey Grahamnesty, and Juan McLame with you. As another FReeper noted, call yourselves “The Lobbyistcrats,” a name that truly defines your party base.
You might win a primary, but you lose the election unless you have the base. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a democrat.
Another column from Jeffrey Lord re: Jebster
“Not So Fast, Jeb Bush - The rigidity of moderation: Ex-Florida guv rewrites history of Reagan and Dad”
By Jeffrey Lord – 6.14.12

Excerpts:
Jeb Bush’s rose-colored memories aside, the fact of the matter is that moderate Republicans in 1980 — with George H.W. Bush in that mix — went out of their way to accuse Ronald Reagan of what Jeb Bush now calls a “strict adherence to ideology” and engaging in “the intensity of modern partisan warfare.”
Governor Jeb Bush seems somehow not to realize that of the four presidential elections of 1988, 1992, 2000, and 2004 — the elections involving his father and brother — the only one with a Reaganesque margin was the election in which his father went out of his way to campaign as Ronald Reagan’s conservative heir — 1988. The others were either lost outright (in 1992, after a moderate first term produced a conservative rebellion) or won by unnecessarily close margins — with the moderate “compassionate conservatism” as their domestic centerpiece in 2000 and 2004.
The real problem with Jeb Bush’s assessment is not just that it’s old news by some six or seven decades. Dewey Redux. The real problem is that Jeb Bush is decidedly making a ham-handed attempt to re-imagine both Reagan and the Reagan presidency — not to mention the Bush 41 presidency — in a fashion that, simply put, bears no resemblance to fact.
In other words, Jeb Bush is trying to re-write history in the service of one of the oldest stale political arguments that was long ago correctly relegated to the GOP’s political attic.
Jeb/Hillary 2016?
Kinda messy here now; my head just exploded....
I predict that if the word “Democrat” becomes the next “communist” then the party will rebrand by changing its name. It will be a full-out Madison Avenue event complete with red, white and blue bunting, American flags and gorgeous (probably hired) people kissing babies. But, it will be the same old thing with a new wrapper.
LOL, now look I hate Jeb but let’s not get silly, he’d be the most conservative national democrat by far, he could not win a rat primary in Florida and he certainly would never be nominated as Vice President, the delegates would plotz if Hillary chose him, it would like if McCain had chosen Lieberman, I’d bet they’d flat out rebel and reject him, reportedly McCain was told if chose Lieberman he’d have a fight on his hands, which is the only reason he didn’t.
