I believe the Bushes are decent people (I also know I could be wrong about that). But they need to back the heck off. Any effort on the part of the Bush machine to put another one of them in the White House will only help ruin the GOP and confine it to permanent failure.
Here's what I do. Thank the Bush family for their service, and tell them no thanks to any more of them. It is time for them to step aside. The real GOP hope is to draw from the tea parties a new commitment to Reagan's small government conservative ideas.
The era of kinder-gentler-thousand-points-of-compassionate-big-government-tone-changing-Bushism is over.
If RINOs don't like it, well, don't blame me. I voted for Palin.
in a way, it’s a shame, because Jeb strikes me as the most competent of the Bushes. But he’s in the wrong place at the wrong time. He should’ve elbowed GWB aside and run in 2000. Too late now.
I see no reason to care what the republican party does anymore.
Jeb is a whole different ballgame from W and HW. If you take the time to look at his record in FL this will be clear.
Jeb 2012! Or whenever. Or how about taking back a Senate seat for us.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart GWB for keeping us safe after 11, Sept., 01, but frankly we've had enough of the Ivy League aristocrats with shady “New World Order”
allegiances.
It's time for new blood, red, not blue.
I guess there are two choices: Either stand around with a finger in your nose bellyaching about how bad things are, or invoke change.
Jeb Bush owes it to the Republican Party to fight back. George never did. He just loved everybody. Consider the following:
Bush let outgoing Clinton staffers who had trashed the White House upon leaving, completely off the hook. All he needed to do was allow news cameras to film this disaster and Bill and Hillary would have taken a heavy blow.
Consider the additional coverup that George gave the Clintons over their fraudulent pardons. And then there was then-senator James Jeffords (R., Vt.) who became an independent in June 2001, the Senate switched from Republican to Democratic control. The day before the hand-off, Bush included Jeffords in a Cabinet Room photo opportunity.
Can anyone imagine Romney putting up with that crap?
As the press mocked George over and over with half truths, George just smiled, empowering his enemies. Sam Donaldson kept showing up and asking put down questions. Why would George even call on him in these conferences? TOTUS has taught us that you only need to call on your friends.
The “Mission Accomplished” issue could have been addressed by annoucing that getting rid was Saddam was the “accomplishment”. Of course the War was not finished, just like the Korean War is not finished. We continue to have troops there.
George didn’t use his power or the bully pit which was completely available to him.
Jeb needs to show that he can fight. Let him stand in the lime light for a while, take some hits and and throw some punches. Let him tell the World what a buffoon TOTUS is.
George just never fought back. Jeb, who doesn’t have the word mangling gene, should stand up to the plate now instead of leaving everything to Cheney.
I hope Jeb found some stones after he let a county probate judge push him around during the excruciating, televised three-week Terry Schiavo murder.
I never thought I'd be saying this, but I've had enough Bush to last the rest of my lifetime. No more, please!
WTF! it is everything above and LESS!
They are useless, no account and if not as corrupt as what passes for the dems these days, no spine, direction. The only one that even remotely has a plan is that idiot Specter who finally left the name Republican after 40 years of lies and BS, they are the party in absencia. The only thing that is going to save this country is it's people (of which I am not sure they want to be saved.
IMHO we get the government that we deserve, and folks we are screwed, blued and tattooed!
Cripe! THe RINOs are rowing away madly with (just) the starboard oars again...
That's excellent.
With help like that no one needs enemies!
If that’s the future of thr Republican party, i’m leaving it!!!!
Jeb and his brother are Bushes. His daddy screwed the country up, and his brother really screwed the country up. jeb is a open borders guy.
Absolutely. I will never vote for another Bush again. Americans don't like monarchies and they will not be permitted to exist here.
The message these guys are all NOT getting is that their time is gone. We need to move the capitol of the country to St. Louis...for starters..that alone will shake off the K St barnacles.
The Bushes need to get a Brazilian. They just need to be GONE. Two pathetic Bushes have done their damage. No need for a third to come in and do even more to the Republican Party.
Never thought I’d ever repeat this phrase but..
“NO MORE BUSH NO MORE BUSH!”
