o Jeb Bush might be running for president. The rest of the world must be howling with laughter.
Apparently, the American political establishment isn't just afraid of new ideas, it's afraid of new people. It wants things so much the same, it's seeking blood guarantees, like the old Euro aristocracies that sealed military alliances with marriages. It's pathetic, and if Bush-Clinton turns out to be the general election menu, it's going to make kleptocratic paradises like the Soviet Union or the PRC look like vibrant democracies in comparison.
And man, could anything be less exciting, less of an inspiration to get the vote out than that lineup? "Vote 2016! Nothing Ever Changes!" People will stay home and hand-remove their own moles before dragging themselves to vote in that contest.
The news kicked off a heated debate in the blogosphere over what Bush's run will mean for conservatives, who will have spent eight painful years waiting to unseat the black Satan and probably had not planned on settling for anything short of a violent repudiation of his administration. Unsurprisingly, the reaction from the base to Jeb's announcement ranged from mild nausea to outright hysteria.
Probably the funniest bit was on Breitbart.com, where preeminent military-thriller author Brad Thor took time out from talking about himself in the third person and fictionally thwarting elaborate presidential-kidnap plots to denounce Jeb's entrance in the race. "If Jeb Bush is the nominee, I will never vote Republican again," he promised, via Twitter.

TEA Partiers know the difference between a house of straw and a solid foundation.
Which do you think is better in days of great trial?
we’re making a mistake if we make bedfellows of those that hates us simply because they don’t like jeb bush, either.
rolling stone isn’t our friend. you have to ask yourselves what their game is with this story.
Jeb who?
This guy will be less popular than a case of the small-pox.
A Bush nomination assures that the Stupid Party does not win. I guess that is what they want.
Terri Schiavo could answer that, if she were not dead by starvation under Jeb's watch.
Ahhh...rolling stone, the bastion of journalistic excellence is again attempting to dabble in the real world instead of worshiping teen idols and big hair bands.
One always had to be a smart-assed communist in a red, white, and blue tie-dyed shirt to get a piece in Rolling Stone, but when I was a pup one had to know how to write, too. I suppose the times are ‘a changin.’
Please give me one reason a conservative should vote for Jeb Bush. I cannot think of any. Better not to vote.
As long as it isn’t trying to make a RINO a likeable guy, I’m down with it. They could come out and say something like, “He isn’t a RINO. He’s a mainstream guy. Boy those Tea-Party folks are marginal at best.
The emphasis was, he’s exactly what Conservatives think he is.
And besides, he’s a Bush. That’s enough for Rolling Stone to side with us on this.
Fact is, nobody in their right mind wants Bush. Leftists hate him, and people on the right have him pegged too.
The question is Jeb Bush. The answer is still no.
What a race-obsessed douchebag this liberal prick is. And if he wants to see violence he should check out the leftwing communist-sponsored race riots burning across America this winter.
Jeb is a non-starter - the GOP will not nominate an old white milquetoast fossil this time around, but somebody sure will.
Which is made clear by a careful reading of this piece.
you’re coming down with the right answer. but you’re still making a mistake.
another example of becoming disabled by rage: people lost their minds so badly over the Cochran win in the runoff that they were posting links form the mississippi version of the village voice, simply because it was slamming cochran.
people need to use their heads.
No more shrubberies!!!

I like Cruz......but the republicans in power like bush.....so we will remain a left wing country....I am so £>¥%# sick of out gubmint! Cruz is brilliant...so the repugs will pass him by and insult him!
“We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all.” — Ronald Reagan, 1965
UHhhhh, DuHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
.
The fact that the media (includingFOX) are pushing Jeb so hard is proof that he’s their man. I’ve had it with the MSM picking our candidates for us, for that reason alone I will not go to the polls in 2016 if Jebbie is the candidate.
Cruz, or lose!
