Jeb Bush is thinking about running for president. Here’s who he talks to about it.

Another Bush another war.

> Come to think of it, the ‘rats will run against GWB no matter who the GOP nominee is in 2016.

Then Hillary’s “what difference does it make” statement applies.

[ifinnegan]

“If Jeb were to somehow get the nod I will not vote for him even if he is running against Clinton.”

I would.

I will vote against any Democrat nominee.

I would not give tacit approval to Hillary or any Democrat nominee by abstaining.

[uncitizen]

The Republican side of the Uniparty isn’t the side that’s supposed to “win” this time, apparently.

Maybe they are going to take this hit in order to make the point once and for all that standing for TEA Party values and candidates doesn’t pay/just gets more RATs elected.

In the fine democrat tradition....how much are you willing to pay for my vote? / S

I'm willing to do my best to abolish, disband, and destroy any federal agency (a) not explicitly commissioned by the Constitution, or (b) trimming those agencies which are created to handle a [constitutionally] federal matter (e.g. counterfeiting) down to that Constitutional function; this means that the only federal agencies that are 'safe' (off the top of my head) would be:

1. The Post Office
2. The Navy (this includes the Marines, which are a sub-department of the Navy)
3. The Army
4. The Secret Service (their bodyguard/security rolls would need revoked; their agency is supposed to be concerned w/ counterfeiting)
5. The DOT (this would need cut down drastically)
6. The IRS (unless you'd like to argue about the legitimacy of the 16th amendment)

How does that sound to you?

-——How’s does that sound to you -——

Throw in ten Congress critters heads on a pike and I’m all yours ....!

Voting party over principle is why the party has abandoned its principles.

I do believe Romney destroyed the GOP. They have learned nothing.

[ifinnegan]

The overriding principle in a general election is to not let Democrats get in office.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Don't stress out over Mystery Puppet Theater 2016. If the banksters think Jeb and the Bush Syndicate are the most likely to obey instructions, just as his brother did and Obama has, then he'll make a miraculous rise in the polls. If they think Hillary and Clinton Syndicate are more obedient - or more controllable through blackmail - then we'll hear MSM singing the Ballad of the First Female President all day and all night. People who might actually become dangerous to them, like Rand Paul, will suffer sudden scandals at the moment their poll numbers get uncomfortably high.

Either way, our beliefs are going to have exactly zero impact on who becomes the Pre-selected Prince Puppet, so it's probably better to focus our energies on throwing scoundrels off of our local school boards or water management councils or police commissions. It's going to take a long, bottom-up struggle to restore sanity to American government.

The overriding principle is to put up a conservative candidate or suffer defeat.
