Jeb Bush group reaches out to Iowans
In a letter to Iowans, Jeb wrote:
Quote :
"I am gravely concerned about the direction of our country, the lack of leadership in Washington, and the economic stagnation we have suffered through for the past six years," he said in the beginning of his letter.
Further down in the article:
Quote :
In recent days speculation about a potential bid has increased following several comments made by his family members. On Sunday, both of Bush's sons hinted that their father is seriously considering running. In an interview with the New York Times, Jeb Bush Jr. said that people and donors are "getting fired up" about the idea of his father running for president.
"I think it's more than likely that...he'll run. The family will be behind him 100 percent if he decides to do it," George P. Bush, the governor's youngest son, told Jon Karl on ABC's "This Week."

Mixed feelings, I liked him as Gov. but not sure if I like the idea of a family dynasty in the W/H. Surely there is someone else out there........but when you look at the money it takes now - some estimate about $1B to win the presidency - it's obscene.

It would be nice to have a viable choice. Bushs, clinton, obama, romney... all the same.

Well, I ain't runnin'.
I can't see why ANYBODY would want to put up with all that bullcrap. Hell, I'd be accused of the things I've done.

No more Bushes. I'm not worried about Jeb running. He won't get the base out to vote for him in the primaries. They will come out for some crazy nut on the fringe, not for Jeb. Hillary will beat anything the Republicans throw against her. And I agree, she isn't much different from Obama except she will be even more likely to start WW3 than Obama has been. The 2016 election is a scary thought for Americans no matter how you look at it.
But we STILL need to vote. This less than 50% turnout is why we get stuck with the candidates we do. We will get a good government as soon as we the people deserve it.

I don't think Jeb can beat Hillary but if she doesn't run Jeb can win it all. After Hillary who do the dems have? Will be interesting to see them trot out brother George again.

Oh Good God. We have less than 6% unemployment for the first time in years, our GNP is way up, the auto industry is thriving. That's what Republicans call a depression when a Democratic president is in office. All those things sure weren't true when his brother was in office. He's got a lot of nerve talking about economic stagnation.
The one thing the whole Bush family has always had is more nerve than burglars. Hillary will kick him to the curb if he runs. No, he won't even get the nomination. The tea partiers will see to that. Jeb isn't going to be a threat to anyone at all.
