Jeb Bush

The word seems to be that he's not running for Senate in Florida. Not only does that take the strongest Republican candidate off the table in that particular race but it also could dampen recruitment for other races. Being able to attract a big name like Jeb Bush might entice other big names to run as Republicans in 2010. Maybe his dad embarrassed him.

To tell you the truth, all of the Bushes have embarassed me.

I'm not exactly sure why there isn't more of a clamoring for Jeb to be appointed president in two weeks.

See, Mericans don't seem to understand the successitude of the past 8 years in office of the president. What appears to be economic chaos and spreading poverty is actually a healthy correction of the markets. Capitalism on the move. And what appears to be war, is actually peace. That's what you people don't understand. War is peace. Plenty is poor.

I say, Jeb in 08. Four more years, dude.

Who knows what will happen in four years? For all we know our country will be a moonscape after the Obamassiah and his freakish cabinet are done.

I agree with Ruth, the Bushes (Jr. and Sr.) have been a huge embarrassment. Bush Jr. nationalized the banks, insurance, manufacturing, and he also tried to open our southern border to illegals, and terrorists. He failed at tax reform, Social Security reform, education reform, all while having a Republican Congress. Everybody quit whining about Obama and 'socialism', the current WH occupant started the country down that road.

Today on CNN, Bush claimed he has “abandoned” the free market in order to “save” it:

BUSH; Well, I have obviously made a decision to make sure the economy doesn’t collapse. I’ve abandoned free market principles to save the free market system. I think when people review what’s taken place in the last six months, uh, and put it all in one, in one, (sigh), you know, in one package, they’re realize how significantly we have moved.

Basebalguy2001 --

Do you ever think that maybe there's no such thing as a "free market" to abandon?

If a Republican president with a Republican Congress can't deliver a Golden Age of classical free market political economy, who can?

Maybe it's better to start looking at notions of a "free market" as the fantasy that they are.

Maybe it's better to ask: for whose benefit is the economy working? Is the economy working for the middle class, or is the middle class working for the economy?

There's something wrong if a young couple just out of high school can't get a job and work forty hours a week and bring home enough to have a car and a modest home.

This country is fast becoming a gigantic third world country with lots of loose nukes. We've lost our values, our courage, our character, our strength, our self-respect, our ability to manufacture goods, and work ethic, our homes, our schools, our infrastructure, our ability to maintain a thriving, healthy middle class --- and with the loss of these things, we're losing our ability to govern ourselves.

Basebalguy, I might be embarassed by the Bush presidents, but your Obomber truly terrifies me. He is a disaster in the making.
