Will Republicans go back
to the future with Jeb Bush?

Washington Examiner, by Byron York

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 11/30/2012 9:42:13 AM

In January 2008, at a John McCain rally in Columbia, S.C., I asked a number of local politicos to look back to the brutal 2000 Republican primary in their state, the one between McCain and George W. Bush. They had all supported Bush back then, and I asked whether, given the inconclusive wars, runaway federal spending and economic catastrophe of the next eight years, they felt they made the right choice. The answer was yes. They explained that they had strongly supported Ronald Reagan, and then they supported George H.W. Bush because

Comments:
We need new people. Not the usual suspects from the "dynasties" in this country. Amnesty for illegals would be guaranteed if Jeb Bush was president. Republicans need to nominate people for their conservative ideology not because they feel they are entitled to it.

Byron sets it out very simply. There won´t be another Bush presidency.

A Jeb Bush candidacy would ensure the death of the GOP.

We need another Bush as much as we need another Clinton Presidency, but I fear we will get Hillary because we must have the first woman President. The only thing to disrupt it will be if Bill keeps calling his old girlfriends and rape victims - trying to hook up and Hillary finally takes him out with an ashtray or frying pan. That is our only hope!

I swear I will vote for Obama before Jeb Bush. Just don´t care any more. Republicans: just don´t go there.
And take Karl Rove with you, Jeb.

Not if they want to be taken seriously again. I,m fifty-two - voted for Reagan, Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush, McCain, and Romney. I will never vote for another Bush. Never. Furthermore, if they pick a rino, they will lose my vote.

My new flavor of the year: Rubio/Cruz or Cruz/Rubio. Forget all the retreads. No more warmed over spit. No more CC Repubs. No more out of touch, out of ideas, out of insight into the real needs of the entire country. Get this Repubs. I will never vote for another loser again. Definition of a loser: anyone who pleases the beltway bubbleheads, anyone who delights Rove, anyone who tickles the Crystols, Frums, Parkers, Noonans, or any other ´experts´. Plus, the ultimate loser is anyone who has the last name of Bush, Christie, Santorium, Gingrich, or is over the age of fifty-five.

The Bush name is at least linked with tax cuts for us peons, and Saddam Hussein with his chemical weapons of mass destruction is gone (if only we had pulled out at that point). As it is, probably nothing can overcome BDS.

#10. I will no longer vote for any Republican. (The only Democrat I have ever voted for was Jimmy Carter. There are many besides me who shared that mental lapse. None before or since - none again ever.) I´m done. If a candidate wants my vote, he or she needs to align with a new party that reflects my values and interests.

#3 - the GOP died in 2012. They won´t realize it until 2014 when the Dems take back the House and no one cares about their candidates. I´ve already called and told my Congressman that he shouldn´t bother to run in 2014 if he votes to raise any taxes and not cut lots of spending.

If it votes like a Dem, the we might as well vote for the Dem.

No more Bush´s! The first two were duds - Jeb is a Dud - remember Terri Schiavo? He let her die

If the GOP can´t come up with something they stand for, instead of just things they talk about, then I don´t think it matters who they run. Right now the only things I associate with the GOP are perpetual warfare and preaching about social issues that are none of the government´s business to begin with. The Bushes are the epitome of this. The fact that they are even talking about running another one of them convinces me the GOP is finished.

#18, don´t know if it´s that cut and dried.
When I was in Miami after the elections, I asked Raoul, my Cuban-American taxi driver, what he thinks of Sen Marco Rubio. "Very smart mahn!" he said, but continued, "but I cood never vote for heem." "Why is that?" I asked. "Because he only cares about thee reech white peeple, and not me," he answered.
Go figure.
But THAT´S what we´re up against.

Oh boy, another opportunity for the USA to make a statement for history--

The chance to have history proclaim another first, son of former President elected W, brother of son of former President elected,JEB, George P is waiting for his chance in 20 years to be the grandson of a former President!!

#32, as one who thought Romney the best of the available candidates and admire the man a great deal - I guess that makes me an "enthusiast" - I´ll withhold judgement until I see who else is running.

A solid conservative would be very welcome, but he or she would have to be someone capable of moving this dumbed down electorate and able to withstand the MSM´s frantic proctological exam.

If you know anybody like that then convince him or her to run. That would be a good starting point. And make sure he or she has access to a king [bleep]load of money and extensive organization before even considering moving to the starting gate.

Not so easy now, is it?

Love Palin, BTW, but she´ll never run for prez.


Reply 35 - Posted by: ColonialAmerican1623, 11/30/2012 10:44:41 PM     (No. 9042331)

I always vote, but I would stay home if Jeb ran. His mother will not leave this world until she sees him on the ballot.

We would no longer have a border separating US from Mexico. Back to world without borders.

Who is Judy Faulkner? Chances are, you don´t know her — but her politically connected, taxpayer-subsidized electronic medical records company may very well know you. Top Obama donor and billionaire Faulkner is founder and CEO of Epic Systems, which will soon store almost half of all Americans´ health information. If the crony odor and the potential for abuse that this "epic" arrangement poses don´t chill your bones, you ain´t paying attention.

What did the White House know about the IRS targeting conservative groups and when did it know it? Crucial evidence needed to develop an accurate answer to that question would include the records of any communications that went back and forth between the IRS and the White House on the topic. In a May 14 letter signed by Chairman Dave Camp and Ranking Member Sander Levin, the House Ways and Means Committee demanded precisely those records from the IRS. In the same letter, the committee also demanded the records of any communications between IRS and the Treasury

Obama’s War on Journalism:
‘An Unconstitutional Act’

The press-punishing, speech-chilling, and unabashedly overreaching actions by the Obama administration against the Associated Press and Fox News Channel’s James Rosen lay bare the essential dynamic between any president and a press that is always more prone to being lapdogs than watchdogs: The president feeds or punishes them as he sees fit, while chanting a bogus rosary about “national security.” In the case of the AP, the Obama administration secretly subpoenaed phone-call logs and other information from an office in which over 100 journalists worked. Officials were on the hunt for the sources that cooperated

With the decision to label a Fox News television reporter a possible “co-conspirator” in a criminal investigation of a news leak, the Obama administration has moved beyond protecting government secrets to threatening fundamental freedoms of the press to gather news. The latest reported episode involves James Rosen, the chief Washington correspondent for Fox News. In 2009, Mr. Rosen reported on FoxNews.com that North Korea planned to launch a missile in response to the condemnation of its nuclear tests by the United Nations Security Council. The Justice Department investigated the source of the article and later indicted

As I noted earlier today, the government’s treatment of Fox News reporter James Rosen betrayed the Obama administration’s unhinged obsession with targeting journalists. But as troubling as that is, the problem goes deeper than the attempt by the Department of Justice to eviscerate the First Amendment. The news that one of the reporters who had been aggressively covering the Benghazi scandal had her computer tampered with should alarm more than just her fellow scribes. So, too, should the increasingly shrill attacks from the president’s cheering section on other journalists who have been following the stories about government misconduct.

Newly uncovered court documents show the Justice Department seized phone records associated with several Fox News lines as part of a leak investigation -- a revelation that comes as the White House Correspondents´ Association spoke out against the administration´s monitoring of reporters. Documents from October 2011 appear to show exchanges that match the specific locations of Fox News´ White House, Pentagon, State Department and other operations. The last four digits of each of the phone numbers listed are redacted in the government filing so it is impossible to know the full numbers. Meanwhile, the Correspondents´ Association spoke out

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
