Jeb is a moron with nothing useful to say. A perpetual reminder of the Bush era GOP. He last held office in 2006.

[Brian4Liberty]

On Special Report (Fox, Wallace sitting in), they spoke a little about Rand, mentioned Presidential run, and then started to talk about Rubio and Jeb. Called it a great week for Bush. Jeb will be on FNS with Wallace this week.

[itshappening]

A great week?> what's he done? He hasn't held an office since 2006 and they're pushing this moron?

[green73]

Thanks for the 'victory' Rand. Now fuck you.

[seapilot]

Jeb and Rubio are Banking cartel approved (1%). Rand is people approved.

The GOP ruling class do not think, they do what they are paid to do. Can we beat them out of the GOP or is it easier go second party with popular uprising?

[parocks]

Keep fighting against the GOP-e

Maybe I'm just being naive here, but if you're talking about what I think you are, wouldn't a huge percentage of westerners have it anyway?

Damage control Sunday for the establishment. We'll see how well this pathetic attempt works...

I predict all next week will be all about Bush - just so they can pretend the Rand thing didn't happen. It ain't gonna work this time, folks. We have become too strong!

Are we seriously worried about being rude toward Jeb Bush? :rolleyes: Sometimes I wonder what board I've stumbled upon when I come here.

Jeb would never be on a ticket with Rand because of three things now . . .

Rand is right about defacto amnesty . . . Jeb NOT

Rand is right about fiscal policy, Ill trust we need lower taxes to stimulate through more jobs . . . Jeb NOT

and the third thing, the third thing is . . . is . . . Ooops

Clumsy book tour shows Jeb Bush still untested on national stage

Adam C. Smith, Times Political Editor
Thursday, March 7, 2013 7:03pm

Associated Press

Maybe, after all the gushing about his policy chops, strong executive record and ability to broaden the appeal of conservative Republicans, Jeb Bush isn't ready for the national stage.

Certainly anyone watching the clumsy kickoff of his book tour this week — where he pushed the 2016 presidential door wide open — had to acknowledge that his political skills are a bit rusty six years after leaving Florida's Governor's Mansion.

It's one thing to make an off-hand comment that requires backpedaling or clarification on a hot-button issue. It's another to co-author a book on a controversial topic then make a carefully planned publicity tour that prompts much of the political world to question not only where you stand but what your motives are.

A series of national interviews this week made Bush look like a cross between Mitt Romney — flip-flopper — and Rick Perry — having to walk back what he wrote in his own book.

Bush used to support a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, but wrote in his new book, co-authored by Clint Bolick, that he now only supports a pathway to legal residency for illegal immigrants currently living in America.

The GOP is using Rand right now to pump up their brand. By 2016 he will be blacked out and ridiculed. With vast sums of money.

I do expect that they will never allow another Rand inspired twitter rampage like what happened the other night.

Twitter will just conveniently not show any Rand related top tweet hashtags.

[Keith and stuff]

I am. Many of us are in GOP leadership positions. We are trying to encourage others in GOP leadership positions to consider our ideas right? If we are rude, the might dismiss us, and they likely should. If someone was very rude to me, I'd likely dismiss everything else the person said.

Be a good person. Lead by example. Don't be part of the problem.

I'm trying to accomplish good things, not piss people off.

[itshappening]

It really won't be that difficult. Rand just needs enough money and about 15% more support than dad in Iowa and NH and he's the GOP nominee.

He's a massive favorite for the nomination despite what anyone says because the organization that Ron built for 6 years in IA, NH and SC is there and all he needs to do is pick up the baton and build on it.

He should be very difficult to stop.

[itshappening]

He's impossible to ignore. There are reporters at politico that cover nearly everything he does. Every interview. Every move. And this is 3 years out.

They can't ignore him when he's holding massive rallies in IA and NH and WINS them, he'll be their nominee before they realize it.

I cannot wait. It's going to be fun.

[devil21]

Rupert wants no part of Rand. He wants more RINOs that are guaranteed to lose. Rupert is a Democrat. So are most of the sunday show hosts and bookers. They want to push who they know will lose in 2016. Not rocket science here.

Id put money on that not happening if it's another weak moderate GOP nominee and that's what the media wants. I mean come on, only the hardest of neocons and dumbest of voters are going to get excited about voting for yet another Bush. He's a guaranteed loss, just like McCain and Romney.

Right, they will do that.

But then they'll let the dem nominee be a Gore or Kerry. Do you really not see the stupid charade for what it is?

[gwax23]

Its beyond me how the GOP can possibly think Bush is viable. The name alone is a killer forget the multitude of other personal flaws and shortcomings. I understand there reasoning to stop Rand but clearly they are desperate if Bush is all they have.

I hope they do nominate him and Loose again in an even bigger defeat. Then the economic collapse would happen under a big statist democrat. No one could blame free markets and then Rand swoops in to save the day....

[mosquitobite]

Because this isn't the first Bilderberg rodeo.

They will put up an equally pathetic democrat so that they can earn money off the "close race" "too close to call" bullshit the sheeple lap up! So their media empires can rake in the dough.

They also have to keep the sheep convinced the 2 parties are different somehow.

Oh, they could always blame free markets. The narrative among partisan Democrats right now is that the Republicans are so "obstructionist" that they can't get anything done, and therefore everything is still exclusively the fault of Republicans, thanks to "free markets," "deregulation," "horrific spending cuts," "reckless undertaxation," etc. Calling the GOP the "obstructionist" party has become a nearly pervasive slogan in those camps. Only complete unrestrained Presidential dictatorial powers would be likely to change this perception.

I'm hoping Rand can win in 2016 to put on the brakes for once, but if someone like Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush wins the nomination, I look forward to them following McCain and Romney into oblivion. (Rand will only have a good chance of winning if we take over enough party positions though, and he'll only be effective if we take over party positions so we can multiply our Congressional presence...)

[gwax23]

Honestly if we where a multiparty state with proportional or instant runoff voting we would have such an easier time. This first past the post two party tyranny is bullshit.

I totally agree, and I've been saying this for a long time...although I tend to advocate range voting, at least for cases where there can be no proportional representation. :)

This is a keen insight IMHO. The party planks keep incrementally adjusting so that half of the voters migrate to one side or the other. It's like an adjusting betting line on a football game. Having a resistant knowledgeable libertarian wing on one side must upset their apple cart a bit, because they can't allow one side to become anti-state.

Bush is this cycles Romney. Been saying this all along that Jeb Bush is their man for this election cycle since the Progressive Republican establishment ultimately want a Bush/Rubio ticket. Both appeal to the growing Spanish speaking population and Rubio is there to appeal to mainstream Conservatives. He is this cycles Sarah Palin to give the appearance of a balanced ticket. (of course we know better).

Just like they did with Progressives McCain and Romney, they will spin Jeb Bush as the Conservative savior. This is for the purpose of no matter which party wins the election the Progressives win, as long as they pick the Republican ticket. Jeb Bush is the perfect Progressive to continue the Clinton, Bush and Obama, legacy.

[thoughtomator]

I wholly approve putting Bush up on every show they can. Let the world see how pathetic the alternatives are, and how weak the promises and offerings of the failed establishment are. In the wake of the Filiblizzard it will be obvious to everyone how much stronger a candidate Paul will be than Bush or any of his equivalents.

Let McCain get more face time to destroy himself as well. There's no way they can paper this over or make it go away - it was an event as widely followed as the State of the Union address, without the benefit of advance scheduling, a made-for-TV stage, and national live broadcast coverage. Paul kicked Obama's ass using only CSPAN2, and did it in such a way that no one can seriously say he'd been anything other than modest and completely reasonable in his demands.

Not just CSPAN2, but twitter.

Twitter is why they couldn't "HIDE" the support Rand got. They couldn't black that out!

[anaconda]

Massive rallies? Well, I hope you're right. Remains to be seen. I DO think Rand has the potential to fire up the entire base like we haven't seen before.

I owe a debt of gratitude to the Bushes. GHW Bush woke me up to the folly of interventionist foreign policy, and the lost brother, Neil Bush, woke me up to the corruption of Wall St. and the Federal Reserve.

Not conspiracy. That's a fact. He had to cancel dinner plans.

Historically the party out of power for 8 years wins the next time so the GOP will be heavily favored in 2016 based on this history no matter the alleged popularity of Clinton she would have to buck a pretty big historical trend which only Bush managed in modern times and that's when things were going well and people were basically voting for a third Reagan term. The economy is going to suck in 2016 and people won't want an Obama third term.

Of course Bush will have no chance in the primary as i've said so no need to worry but he'll have his backers in the media and can walk on these shows even though someone like Rand has had to work hard to become a senator and get where he is (often fighting the establishment). Bush has been out of office for 7 years and has no relevance. Yes, he's got a book out but big deal.

[itshappening]

By the way the GOP "power brokers" can't just let anyone "be the nominee"

All they can do is get them wide coverage like Bush is getting. That doesn't mean he's going to sweep Iowa and New Hampshire so let's not kid ourselves.

Perry had millions of dollars and was a sitting Texas governor with wide attention and coverage but couldn't do what George W. Bush managed because people have moved on now and Jeb will suffer the same fate.

The GOP power brokers can't do anything about Rand when he wins IA, NH and SC. He'd be their nominee before the end of January and we can all laugh at them and move on with courting the voters for the general election.

[Feelgood]

Not sure why so much hate. Of all the Bush's, Jeb is the least offensive. He was one of the best Governor's we have had in our state, and let office with a VERY high approval rating. Would love to have had him continue here as Governor. We got Crist after Jeb, and that was even more horrendous. Though their name has been tainted by the previous Bush's, if Jeb were the GOP nominee, I could see myself voting for him.

[Patrick Henry]

If Jeb runs and wins, he will introduce a world currency IMO. He must be stopped.

Take off your blinkers. Bush is a neocon and corporatist.

His brother was a popular governor of Texas as well before he got into the White House and started the destruction of the economy, liberty and the GOP.

Forgive me for sounding somewhat cynical and conspiratorial, but there are times when I wonder if votes even matter and/or if they are counted. If my suspicions have been right at those times, it doesn't matter if Bush is viable...we will get him even if no one wants him. Maybe there's a bigger plan that has always been set in motion and there's nothing we can do to stop it. :(

The good news is AJ Spiker is IA GOP chairman and a RP supporter so at the very least we can ensure there are no shenanigans in the caucus returns when they're made to headquarters on the big night and in SC the chairman is also a good guy who went to Israel with Rand.

I'd be much more concerned with NH... remember they tend to lock up ballot boxes and stuff them like Mugabe does in Zimbabwe. I don't trust the GOP there but we have time to seize control of it due to the liberty activist influence.

if the gop even considers a bush again. Then they deserve the whig party path.

That's an excellent reason for hoping that they DO go with another Bush again.

[BenIsForRon]

The fact that Jeb Bush is even a possibility shows this country has some really deep psychological issues.
