Will Jeb Run?

[Kathianne]

I wonder how much this has to do with Romney's TV appearance?

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush won’t confirm he’s a candidate for the next presidential race, but he sounded like a White House hopeful Monday, declaring his party in need of leadership.


“I have a voice, I want to share my beliefs about how the conservative movement and the Republican party can regain its footing, because we’ve lost our way,” he told TODAY’s Matt Lauer.


Bush said he wouldn’t rule out a run in 2016, “but I won’t declare today either.”

Not a big fan of Jeb myself but anybody would be better than the lying scum we now have destroying our nation..

He will likely be another Rick "I forgot" Perry. Only the rigors of a campaign will tell for sure.

I'm pretty sure he's got the chops but he also has the curse and blessing of his last name.

Haven't we all suffered enough?

So we're selling GW under the Bus then? I just want to get my talking points straight.

[Robert A Whit]

Reading the comments thus far, it is clear to me that there a few republican voters willing to accept the dogma of democrats who hated both Bushes (witness how they yanked out Prescott Bush) and declare any Bush dead upon arrival.

I honestly don't know how republicans allowed the democrats to win the blame game.

Tossing Jeb under the bus makes no sense at all.

There is no such thing as a republican that the democrats won't try to crush into gunpowder and fire up the media. We somehow must transform the media.

The democrats did, so why can't we also do it?

Most of Bush detractors don't realize that he freed over 50 million humans. Not a bad days work in my book.

Trading the dogma of socialists for the cynical duplicity of neoconservatives like the Bushes is hardly any kind of improvement.

Might as well try to convince people that death by smallpox is a better deal than death by ebola.

BTW.. I was joking.

Democrats called them neoconservatives but I sure never did. And why not?

Well, that is like saying a bunny rabbit is the wolf.

Why did you allow Democrats lies to be part of your philosophy?

Bush 43 really followed the same path that Bill Clinton followed yet Clinton never got called a neoconservative.

My opposition to Jeb has nothing to do with anything Democrats have said about other family members. It has to do with his policies and the fact that im sick and tired of political dynasties.

Not all women say that. But then that's between them and their husbands.

Imagine you had Pele at his prime on your soccer team. And you could add more such men.

Why snub them?

The first president Bush really carried on fairly well until he agreed to more taxes. That fed the lion so to speak.
The last Bush, his son, really freed a lot of humans. While not Americans, they still were humans. And he freed Americans of all groups from taxes. And despite democrats claims it hurt the country, that is not true because revenues rose like a balloon. When he got the higher revenues, that put to rest the claims lower taxes led to lower revenues. And Clinton got his revenue by a seldom event, the dot-com boom that Bush did not have.

Bush used best economic fundamentals and that is why he got more revenue.

Jeb Bush by all accounts other than by the hateful democrats, handled Florida very well.

Democrats made a living out of Bush bashing and sadly some republicans act as if they fell for the lies told by Democrats.

:poke: I'm sure there are reasons to oppose Jeb but a two-time governor of a major swing state should get a look.

I located the book you recommended at my library and have requested it be delivered to my local library. Lords of Finance is the book.

We aren' talking about Pele or anyone like him. We are talking about politicians. Neither of the Bush Presidencies were super great. Jeb isnt bad or good. But political dynasties are bad. Especially if we are trying to keep the Republic intact.

If we, and I mean "WE THE PEOPLE" honestly want to save the Republic from the destruction of the Obama administration. We must avoid any semblance of what we all know to be the STATUS QUO. And that would be the introduction of another Bush.
Not that Jeb would be a bad president, personally speaking. But, due to my age, and being honest with myself in knowing my years are getting shorter. My interests, and realities must be dedicated to My Grandchildren when it comes to preserving what we once knew to be the American way of life for them.
Many may get tired of me saying this. I don't care if it is repetitive here, but I gave 30 years of my life with the intentions of making OUR NATION a little bit more secure, and prosperous for our Children...through the Defense of America that our present President seems to take for granted, and is intent on destroying.
That is not what I, or any other American should be pacified to accept today.
We can make comparisons, analogies, and personal stories until the cows come home. But...ACTIONS by all of us is, and will be the only remedy for WE THE PEOPLE...who honestly care more for the nation....than WHAT'S IN IT FOR THEM.

Id rather run myself than see another Bush elected. I dont doubt that he is a good man. I just dont think he will be what we need.

What president was great? Explain why you see Bush 43 as not great for freeing over 50,000,000 humans?

[Robert A Whit]

How do you people figure out, ahead of time, who will be a very good or great president?

I know for a fact that fools felt that way about Obama. They had to be fools to install a very little experienced person to the top job.

First, no president since Abe the ruthless Lincoln operated that had what amounts to dictator powers.

FDR had a team. Truman assembled a team though he too started out poorly prepared to be president. FDR treated him like the janitor and kept Truman out of the loop.

Ike had managed a very huge operation and had to craft a plan of victory. As president, unlike Obama, he did his job and did not waste his day trying to be the narcissist in the spotlight. Ike did not get on TV very much. But apparently he managed to assemble an effective team.

I can go thorough many of the presidents.
So, why did the nation put a punkin head in office? Didn't they have any respect for the office?

I would liken Obama to the crew of the Titanic. The Captain got sick and somebody took over.

Obama shoveled coal. We needed a man that really knew something about the job.

Jeb Bush should not be slighted over his last name. His brother in my view did as good of a job as he could and he was not nearly as good as Reagan, but Reagan in my opinion ranks as our best president of all time.
