"Jeb Bush to help party rebuild"

[kahless]

Unfortunately Americans respond to simple name recognition. The media will push it just the same as well as the globalist oligarchs footing the bill. Foxnews will eat it up and we will hear Hannity calling him a great American. Newt and Karl Rove will be singing his praises on Fox.

Can a decent Libertarian please buy a friggin news channel and some newspapers so we can get exposure to really rebuild the Republican party or develop a real third party alternative already.

Jeb: Don't worry, I'm here to fix the party that my brother completely fucked up. George just wasn't tough enough on the terrorists, but I'll fix that by making it the GOP's mission to pass the Security from Freedom Act and Obliteration of Domestic Terrorists act.

Exactly. They'll be looking to register all neocon voters they missed previously.

This kind of stuff reinforces the idea that 2012 is a lost cause and we need to look forward to 2016. Looking at the bright side I would rather Jeb or Romney lost to Obama in 2012 not Ron or Rand.

I honestly can't imagine the economy holding out through Nov. 2012, and incumbents don't really do that well if the economy stinks.

But FDR sat through how many crappy economic terms?

Regardless, Getting the new face on the GOP and losing the vote is better than allowing another red v. blue, two party dichotomy, my big state is better than your big state election cycle.

We've already served our sit on the sidelines, pay your dues "rags" portion of the story - it's time to go to the big dance, and let the neo-cons scrub floors in some discredited, kooky third party.

Not necessarily. I think this noise from the party bosses may be a last desperate attempt to act like they are still in charge. A lot can happen in 3 or 4 years. They are acting like they are reforming the Republican Party when in actuality they are going to all be thrown on the permanent scrap heap.

I lived in FL under Jeb, and while not a liberty person, he was a decent enough governor. He is MUCH DIFFERENT than his brother without any doubts. Our country wouldn't be in such a mess right now if Jeb had been in the Oval instead of W. Would I vote for Jeb for President? More than likely not. But Jeb |= W.

Ahhh but the question is: Was GWB a terrible governor? I think the answer is no. What they do at the state level means nothing. Remember that GWB won in 2000 on small gov't, low spending, no empire building, etc. I imagine he sorta walked the walk while governor of TX. However, once they get the taste of the ultimate power trip as POTUS, everything that mattered before means NOTHING. In fact, I submit that the governorship (for those with higher aspirations) is only a venue to build a facade of perceived policy so that they can be electable on either a D or R presidential ticket. Once elected the facade is brought down and the true colors come shining through. GWB is a prime example of this actually.

I think that he was pretty popular in Florida.

You mean where all the old people, Jews, and Cubans live? Yeah its a shocker that a Bush would be popular there

Money quote from the article...

Dubbed ''King Jeb'' by one Democratic lawmaker, Bush intervened in the Terri Schiavo right-to-die case, helped wrap up the controversial 2000 presidential election that put his brother in office​

If you fling enough crap at the wall some is bound to stick.
