| Washington, D.C. — Former Florida governor Jeb Bush met Monday with a group of his former staffers at the J. W. Marriott hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue, just steps from the White House. Bush, a potential 2016 presidential contender, spent an hour in the hotel’s Cannon room, reminiscing and entertaining questions about his political future. In an interview with NRO, Bush did not rule out a presidential run. “I am here to catch up with folks and promote education reform,” he said, smiling. When asked again whether he will issue a Sherman-type statement about his future, Bush remained coy. “We

I liked W, but I can tell you the Democrats are giddy over the possibilities of another Bush running. Their campaign talking points are pre-fab on this one. They will just stand their and point at his last name.

Jeb? Nice man. Nice family. Hispanic wife. Great . . . NOT! You think the RNC could find someone younger without the last name Bush to appeal to the now under-30 crowd and their drippy parents who gave them everything they wanted on a credit card.

Does the GOP never learn? Are they really going to engage in more tail-chasing by entertaining the thought of another Bush? I have given the GOP a lot of money over the years and I have now given up on the Party. Unless they can find another Lee Atwater, I will vote Third Party or not vote at all.

Wrong for that position and still bad for him, the Bushes, conservatives and the country if not otherwise wrong.

That the MSM always wanted Jeb as president rather than W, should tell you something.
But the GOP establishment, those guys and gals who so graciously invite us to vote Republican every couple of years, but otherwise make it clear we should keep our ignorant peasant noses out of "their" party´s business, have probably already selected him as Candidate and Savior. And most importantly, it´s Jeb´s Turn!
Next step: GOP leadership talks three or four naive, credulous "conservatives" into running in order to split the conservative vote, thereby guaranteeing the nomination to Jeb, with 43% of the party´s backing. (Same as 2008 and 2012.)

#19. As a matter of fact, for those who obviously forgot, it was McCain´s aged mother who inadvertently told the truth. In an interview, she was asked what about the conservatives in the party who were disappointed in her son being the nominee. She said something like what choice do they have. (Sorry I do not have the exact quote.). I remember her elitist snarkiness with regard to the conservatives spoke volumes. You are right. As long as we pretend its not true, we will continue to lose.

PACS, campaign advisers and lower-level staffers all stand to make huge money. And we will lose yet another election.

NRO should be ashamed of itself for this goofy headline. Bush is in DC for the annual policy meeting for his Foundation for Excellence in Education. The meeting date and location was set for this meeting before the end of last year´s meeting! I attend it every year but couldn´t this year due to a last minute illness. His "former" aides are there because many of them are now part of the world of education reform and many of them still work with him in various leadership capacities.
This article was intended to do nothing else than get Republicans and conservatives screaming at each other over the prospect of another Bush. With that said, Jeb Bush is a fine man, was a tremendously good, conservative Governor who actually implemented many of the reforms that he promised. He left Florida in far better shape than he found it, and that was with 4 major hurricanes during his administration.
Finally, I hate, and I mean hate, that conservatives bought into the trash peddled by the MSM about GWB...you can hardly tell a difference b/t conservative sites and liberal sites when you read posts about him. GWB was a rare leader during a dark time in our nation´s history. Lesser men would have crumbled.

Poppy Bush sold us out with "read my lips" and then agreed to increased taxes to "cut the deficit"-- all it did was make the demonrats happy to put us further into debt.
Wow, if we could only go back to THOSE deficits back in the early 90´s!!!!
W started out wanting to be the new Reagan, and ended up spending like a drunken sailor (no offense to sailors).
I think we have had enough Bush family members on the national stage.....

I’m worried about the Supreme Court. I’m worried about how the justices can properly debate same-sex marriage when some don’t even seem to realize that most Americans use the word “gay” now instead of “homosexual”; when Chief Justice John Roberts thinks gays are merely concerned with marriage as a desirable “label,” and when Justice Samuel Alito compares gay marriage to cellphones. The Nine are back there in their Miss Havisham lairs mulling, disconcertingly disconnected. In his zeal to scare people about the “possible deleterious effect” of gay parents adopting, Justice Antonin Scalia did not seem fully

Anti-abortion groups have been trying to re-impose restrictions on abortion rights for 40 years, but the Legislature and governor of North Dakota have taken this attack on women’s reproductive health and freedom to a shocking new low by passing a bill that they must know perfectly well is unconstitutional by any reading of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision and others since.Under those rulings, full abortion bans are allowable only after fetal viability, which the medical community generally considers to be around 24 weeks into pregnancy.

Quite a few Republicans have been announcing new stages in their “evolution” on same-sex marriage, which is being debated in the Supreme Court today and tomorrow. Senator Rob Portman of Ohio said earlier this month that he was prompted to reverse his position when he learned his son was gay – after a two-year period of reflection that included having his name floated as a potential running mate for Mitt Romney, a staunch opponent of gay marriage.

Gosnell killed them by plunging scissors into their spinal cords. He taught his staff to do the same. This is a remarkable moment in American life: A man is killing actual living, gurgling, bouncing babies on an industrial scale – and it barely makes the papers.

It was a sickening crime that fit an all-too-familiar storyline. Young men who turned a night of partying into an ugly sexual assault. A culture in which high school football players are treated like gods and act as if no rules apply. And an innocent young woman who was abused by people she thought were friends and then humiliated. But what made the Steubenville, Ohio, rape case — which ended today with guilty verdicts against Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond — different and what made it feel cutting edge is the pervasive role

The world is full of Roman Catholics who long ago stopped following the dogma, doctrine and medieval sexual dictates of the church. But they never lost faith in Francesco, the merchant’s son who spoke to wolves, slept on dirt floors and dined with lepers. That the new pope would take the name of Francis, in honor of the saint from the Umbrian town of Assisi, is the most radical first move by a pontiff in some time. The 12th century mystic is the nature saint, patron of the environment, the poor, the dispossessed.

Graham, a key member of the bipartisan group of senators pushing for immigration reform, took Bush to task after the former Florida governor said Monday that he did not support a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, which is a key component of the plan being pushed by the Senate group.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Outraged parents said some students at Coelho Middle School in Attleboro cried when they were told by a worker for the district´s food service provider they could not eat on Tuesday because they couldn´t pay or their pre-paid accounts were short on funds.
