Bush Backs Brother Jeb for White House
ORLANDO, Fla. - President Bush suggested Wednesday that he'd like to see his family's White House legacy continue, perhaps with his younger brother Jeb as the chief executive.


The president said Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is well-suited for another office and would make "a great president."

"I would like to see Jeb run at some point in time, but I have no idea if that's his intention or not," Bush said in an interview with Florida reporters, according to an account on the St. Petersburg Times Web site

2. He's a liar - this (Jeb's candidacy" has been planned for years
imo. However, I think America has had enough of this family. Let's throw GW out first.

3. He needs Jeb to forever hide all the documents
that would be damning and to pardon him so he can spend his retirement in Crawford (if Cindy leaves, that is).

With GW's poll numbers, I'm surprised he would even dare to mention the idea. Even the red states would rise up if Jeb took over. I hope I NEVER see that surname in the White House, again!

7. They (Bushes) are so arrogant they can't even see that
2/3 of the population disapprove of GW. That is what I despise most about the whole group of them - their arrogance.

6. Even some freepers are having a hard time swallowing this idea.
B41 "Read my lips..."
B43 "With us or against us..."

I think that we've learned our lesson with the Bush family.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No more Bushes, no more Nixons, no more Doles. There's been one on every ticket since 1952 (excepting the the great '64 Goldwater race). Somebody else can have a chance. I tired of being led by the same old people.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lookout, folks! The King's Men will be by soon to encourage you to vote for the Tories...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i don't think so.
Fool me three times shame on you!
Fool me four times, shame on me.
41, 43, 43...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Puleez. No more Bush's or Clintons.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't think we'll see another Bush president. The Republican and conservative base now realize that we've been had -- these are, and always have been, country club liberals who are desperate to fit in with the "right people" from Skull and Bones and the Ivy League who look down their noses at anything "right wing", except when they need their votes at election time. We don't need another boondoggle Medicare prescription drug plan, higher spending than LBJ, an endless and unnecessary war 10,000 miles away that costs the lives of our best men and women at a horrendous price for an ungrateful populace, while ignoring our borders at home and castigating those who care about maintaining this coutnry as a viable entity as racists. The Bushes would be nowhere in politics but for Ronald Reagan, who unfortunately, made 41 his vice president. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on us!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NO MORE BUSHES!!!
The irony is that Jeb is the smartest of the bunch. His bad luck, I'd guess.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I think that we've learned our lesson with the Bush family."
Amen.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was all for Jeb running, but after watching W putter out like his pop, I think we've had enough Bushes in the White House for a while. I thank George for his service, and he did do some admirable things, but next time we need a real conservative. Of those believed to possibly be running, the only one who interests me is Newt.
