Former President George Bush Wants Son "JEB" Bush To Run For President

Re: Former President George Bush Wants Son "JEB" Bush To Run For Presi

Where's Bryan Adams to compose a shitty tribute song when you need him?

Those were the best days of our lives.
Oh yeah.
Back in September of '01.

Oh when I look back now
That war that seemed to last forever,
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd wanna vote for Bush's heir,
Those were the best days of my life

Nice. :lol:

So now we can't even mention [that place] at all?
That's exactly how THE MAN kept down Voldemort too.

Jeb Bush has long been considered the political leader with the most potential in the entire Bush family

In regards to the first President Bush, he was denounced as a "lightweight" by NY Mayor Ed Koch and the widespread assumption was that he was not that great a nominee to take over after Reagan.

Gore had the advantage of public sympathy for President Clinton, the Clinton era "peace & prosperity" (supposedly), and a flawless personal background for himself, while George W. Bush was badly mauled in the primaries by John McCain.

Oh, so that's what Jeb stands for. I've always wondered where they got the nickname.

I'm looking forward to Iraq War III myself. The third part of a trilogy is usually the weakest, but I think he can make it something special.

That was before Bush 43 destroyed the name for a generation.

I like the fact he wants to see Jeb president when at the very least i think he will run will be 12-16 years and President Bush 1 will be dead before then.
 
Re: Former President George Bush Wants Son "JEB" Bush To Run For Presi

Third times the charm, eh? I would not look forward to a Jebya presidency.
 
Re: Former President George Bush Wants Son "JEB" Bush To Run For Presi

I hope he runs. It would be hilarious to watch him crash and burn. No one will ever elect a Bush. Hell they won't elect someone named Shrub.
 
Re: Former President George Bush Wants Son "JEB" Bush To Run For Presi

No one has presented any evidence whatsoever as to why the American people would not elect Jeb Bush president.

Heck, had George W. Bush been eligible to run again he probably would've gotten 45% against Barack Obama at least.

:vulcan: How do you figure that? Over 10% of the electorate would vote for a man they poll as disapproving of?

You haven't explained yet why you'd want another Bush in this office besides pissing off liberals. Out of all the millions of Republicans all over the country, don't you think the party could find a few competent candidates who aren't starting the race with the millstone of being related to W hanging around their neck?

That is completely ridiculous. Stop pulling "facts" out of the air.

So if I have this right, guilt by association is valid for Republican candidates but completely wrong and offensive for Democrat candidates?

Are you kidding me?

Well, double standards and blind party partisanship are keys to the religion of politics.

Double standards how exactly? Essentially the exact same people here are saying that a Bush would never win another election as said Hillary wouldn't win a general. Sometimes, there's too much baggage.
 
Re: Former President George Bush Wants Son "JEB" Bush To Run For Presi

I really don't think it makes a difference anymore who runs. They all follow the same agenda. Anyone who thinks Obama's ME policies will be any different than Dubya's lives in fantasy land.
 
Re: Former President George Bush Wants Son "JEB" Bush To Run For Presi

Please, no more Bush -- except in the bedroom, of course! -- RR
 
Re: Former President George Bush Wants Son "JEB" Bush To Run For Presi

Would this be the same Jeb Bush who Republicans wanted to run in 2008 combined with control of the legislature and a conservative dominated supreme court for a near on 20yr Republican rule of the U.S.
