Daytyn71 Brother Jeb would make 'great' US president: Bush May 10 12:05 PM US/Eastern President George W Bush praised his brother, Florida governor Jeb Bush, as an "excellent" leader who would make a "great president" of the United States, according to news accounts. But it's up to Jeb to make a decision to run," Bush told reporters at a roundtable interview here with several Florida newspapers. "I would like to see Jeb run at some point in time, but I have no idea if that's his intention or not," said the president, in comments published in the St Petersburg Times, and other dailies. Bush said he had "pushed him fairly hard about what he intends to do," but said Jeb would not tip his hand. He added that his brother's "political future is very bright - if he chooses to have a political future. The Bush family is one of the pre-eminent US political dynasties, with the Bush brothers' father, George Herbert Walker Bush, having also served a stint as US president.
View Replies To: Daytyn71 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).
W appears to be losing interest after 6 years (NO immigration policy, NO energy policy, not being aggressive enough in IRAQ for fear we'll make our enemies mad, nothing on social security reform, ).
View Replies To: gotribe 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.
View Replies To: mallardx The added bonus of seeing the Dowds and the Huffingtons and the Finemans and the Rathers of this world become absolutely UNGLUED I think it's all an act.
View Replies To: All 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.
View Replies To: mallardx Yeah, he's the best president ever with 31% poll number. He may be a good and decent man, but his policies are driving conservatives out.
View Replies To: Recovering_Democrat Look, the bottom line for me is: NO MORE DEMOCRATS! I'd prefer Allen, Rice, or Santorum, but if McCain wins the nomination I will vote for him. I can't believe so many Freepers have forgotten what things were like under Clinton already.
View Replies To: Daytyn71 Ah, if you've seen one traitor to the nation, you've seen them all. I've had enough of the Bush's and their globalist, elitest clap-trap. I don't think any current Republican is worth voting for. And I have to say I don't sh*t if it puts Hillary in the WH.
We need a Pied Piper to lead the way, and I don't see him or anyone else leading the way. I voted for Bush twice, and my stomach turns when I see how he allows the immigration issue to fester like it is. Vicente Fox must have a picture of Bush with a Billy Goat!
View Replies To: dc-zoo Jeb is a great governor, and would make a great president. Florida's economy is the best in the nation, with limited government compared to most states.
