Jeb Bush for President in 2012? After Sanford, Ensign Etc., It's Not Impossible
US News and World Report ^ | June 2009

Posted on 09/19/2009 7:29:54 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

It's looking highly likely that the 2012 Republican presidential nominee will be a retread.

With Gov. Mark Sanford at wit's end, and Sen. John Ensign joining Sanford at adultery camp, and Gov. Jon Huntsman going to China, and Gov. Bobby Jindal flopping in his first big national TV appearance, and Gov. Mitch Daniels saying he doesn't want to be president, and Gov. Sarah Palin running such an undisciplined operation up there in Alaska, the prospect for fresh blood is thinning.

We got some old party leaders from down South—Gov. Haley Barbour and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich—and a couple of former governors who couldn't beat John McCain last time out—Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee.

And then there is Jeb.

Yes, my friends. It is sad but true. We have not seen the end of the Bush dynasty yet.

Two things must happen for Americans to forget George W. Bush's awful performance, and let his brother Jeb have a turn in the Oval Office. First, a lot of other GOP contenders must self-destruct. Second, Barack Obama has to fail spectacularly.

The Republican hopefuls are doing their part.

So now it's time to see how nasty the old hands from the Bush administration get. Watch them carefully in the coming months. From W on down, the more the Bushies rip Obama, the more they are thinking Jeb in 2012.

“Sarah Palin running such an undisciplined operation up there in Alaska,”

Identifies author as a biased jerk.

Second, Barack Obama has to fail spectacularly.

This much has been accomplished. And with hardly any help from the GOP.

With that said - No More Bushes...

One thing I know about Jeb Bush: If a judge orders me to be murdered by starvation and dehydration, slowly, on television, in broad daylight, Jeb Bush will do NOTHING.

One thing GW Bush did right is thoroughly RUIN what’s left of the Bush name. GONE, FINISHED. NEXT. No Bush WILL EVER EVER BE ELECTED AGAIN.

Just what we need, another Big government, blue-blood aristocrat, from the Bush clan.

I like JEB too. But the list starts with Palin and she will draw big margins in the GOP primaries. I don’t see how anyone beats her.

For a look at the author's other columns which clearly exhibit his political bent, PUNH HERE.
