1. Bush -- like it or not, Americans in general and conservatives in particular don't like any hints of dynasties. This third Bush will clearly overshadow a second Clinton.
2. Terri Schiavo - Today is anniversary of Terri Schiavo's death. Her death is part of Jeb Bush's record. There couldn't be a more telling time (day) for Jeb Bush's aspirations for the presidency to be put in front of America.
3. Amnesty. Like his brother before him, and like all the Chamber of Commerce, Jeb Bush is pro-amnesty for illegals. Little more than a week ago, Jeb Bush was quoted as saying, "Jeb Bush: "People who come here legally and illegally are the risk takers....""
These are only the top 3 that tell me Jeb Bush is a non-starter.
His name now smacks of royalty, pro-lifers are rightly suspicious of him, and conservatives as a group do not support illegal amnesty.
If Jeb is your nominee you might as well bend over and kiss your hiney goodbye.

No Jeb! I like the Bush family but enough is enough!
I am a Ted Cruz fan!
It may be time to activate an “Anyone-But-Bush” THIRD PARTY. I guess we need:
Unpaid “National” leadership in Washington, DC
Offices set up in each of the 50 states.
Frequent interviews on TV to repeat: Is the GOP “establisnment” CRAZY?
The GOP “establisment” has blown two elections already.
The American Dream is NOT to make its “consultant” class rich...
Effe every damn Bushie. UnAmerican losers.

There is also his strong support of common core.
You spent a lot of intellectual effort to simply state that another mushy, middle of the road, moderat, progressive RINO will simply lose, like the preceeding 2.
I will join the Conservative group that sat out in 2012 if the R candidate is Jeb, Christie, Huckabee or Kasic (as well as others.)
We must nominate an unashamed constitutional conservative.
Another Bush for President thread #181
Ken Mehlman, a closeted homosexual, was selected as RNC Chairman on el Presidente Jorge Arbusto II's watch. He has since come out and is a powerful supporter of homosexual special rights. Hard to imagine he is still a Republican.
Anyway, I will not cast my vote in 2016 for Jeb. If he, or Christie is the best the GOPe, under Reince Priebus' "great retreat" watch, can produce, then it is time for the GOP to close shop. Hillary will win and that will be the final nail in the U.S.'s coffin. The Millenials cannot be depended upon to support the GOP and the base may well not turn out, again, to support the less worse candidate. You would think the GOPe would get the message after Dole, McCain, Romney ...
It is getting late for a conservative candidate to rise to the surface. It seems candidates need longer lead times since 2007 (when Hillary 1st announced) to raise the cash required. Due to demographic shifts, 2016 will be last chance for a Republican to be elected POTUS.
It is later than most think ...
Stay Out Da Bushes.

“Conservative” Leaders For Jeb Bush?
Fixed your headline
Since Bob Dole, maybe even before to GHWBush, we’ve been sold the hoax that electing mediocrity is better than electing democrats, and that continuous mediocrity in the GOP is the path to excellence in the party.
No more. No Bush or no vote.
All the objections to Jeb Bush are valid, but the one that is going to sink him with moderates is his name, and the one that is going to sink him with pro-lifers is Schiavo.
Maybe he’ll get the votes of those who don’t care how many people just walk right in to this country and don’t care about the brainwashing of millions of American children.
I’m not going to suddenly change my mind if he gets the nomination either.
TX has already launched the new Bush dynasty in George P. People are too uninformed to know better.
I want no more Bush’s playing games with the Founders intent for the USA. This family along with stepson Bill Clinton apparently think/believe they are royalty. I will not give my WWII service nor my brother’s death in that war away to such government predators who have not used the chance Reagan offered to keep the USA for true and patriotic citizens.
Jeb Bush is running to the left of McCain.
The establishment pick will be Christie, Jindal or Walker.
