The Republican Establishment, led by the Corrupt Consultant Class, lives in an alternate universe. They thought 2012 would be a cakewalk and dismissed polls that did not conform to their world view. Instead, thanks to OFA, Obama won against all historical trends. Instead of trying to match or surpass OFA the GOP Establishment seems to be uniting behind a familiar name; Bush.
I, for the life of me, will never understand the emotional attachment Republican voters have for the Bush family. Poppy Bush destroyed the Reagan coalition and lost the Northeast, Upper Midwest and California permanently for the Republican Party. Baby Bush destroyed the Republican party’s credibility on national security, fiscal and economic issues. As a result for these two disastrous presidencies the Republican Party has become despised and, at best, a regional party that appeals to a shrinking pool of voters. Yet there is an chance that another Bush could win the GOP nod in 2016.
Jeb Bush is all but telegraphing that he is planning a Presidential run in 2016. He even delusionally thinks that the Bush name has no baggage.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) on Sunday said the Bush family name will not drag down his political ambitions as he left open the possibility of running for president in 2016.
When asked whether the legacy of his brother, former President George W. Bush, who has a higher unfavorable than favorable rating, would be a liability, Bush said no.
“I don’t think there’s any Bush baggage at all. I love my brother. I’m proud of his accomplishments. I love my dad. I’m proud to be a Bush and if I run for president it’s not because of something in my DNA that compels me to do it,” Bush said on “Fox News Sunday” after host Chris Wallace cited a poll showing the former president with a 49 percent unfavorable rating.

He’s delusional, and that isn’t something that is attractive in a Presidential candidate. Bush is unelectible, too. His name has massive baggage. Baggage he can’t hope to overcome. If he is nominated, it will effectively coronate the Democrat candidate.
@ Iron Fist:
This is really turning into a comedy for me. Jeb was on 5 shows yesterday. It’s obvious what is going on here.
I’m not even mad at this, I am just laughing!
He looks like Porky Pig.
@ Rodan:
I’m pretty mad about it. It is obvious what is going on here. The Republican Party is self-destructing. Did you see where Boehner was threatening to pass gun control legislation without a Republican majority in the House? Self-destruction. If they do that, the Tea Party will split off into a Third Party for real, and the Republicans will go the way of the Whigs.

It wasn’t Poppy Bush that lost the Northeast, upper Midwest, and California, it was Pat Buchanan and Dan Quayle.

What pissed me off was the actions of the GOPE after what Rand Paul did. Paul connected with many Americans of all political stripes. Instead of jumping on this momentum, the GOPE gave the orders to destroy Rand Paul. Now on every Conservative blog, except this one he is an evil anti-semite.
The treatment of Rand Paul spoke volumes as to what the GOP is about. Plus not allowing Pam Geller and Robert Spencer at CPAC was another slap at the face.

I haven’t seen Rand Paul called an anti-Semite, but I can see them trying to tie him to his father, who is an anti-Semite. It is like I said the other day, Rand Paul has to overcome the baggage of his name, just as Jeb Bush has to do his. Bush is terminal, though. Rand Paul, not so much, though he’ll piss off all his father’s legions if he does.
@ Rodan:
Quayle was carrying out orders from Bush? I’ve never heard that before. Letting Buchanan speak at the convention was despicable.
@ Iron Fist:
On this very blog he’s been called an anti-Semite. All becasue he does not support the Neocons and their Pro-Saudi Arabia/Qatar/Muslim Brotherhood/al-Qaeda agenda. They have twsisted it to where if you are not Pro Islamic nation building, you are an anti-Semite. It’s twisted logic, but they are pulling it off.
As for Ron Paul’s followers they have split in half. The non anti-Semites are with Rand Paul, the others hate him.
In all seriousness, I am viewing politics as a joke. I can’t take it serious.

Jeb is either monumentally stupid (clueless) or is a big fat liar if he think that his last name brings no baggage with it.
The Bush clan are the anti-Reagan’s. Ronald Reagan was pro Israel, GHWB was anti-Israel. Reagan was populist, Bush was elitist. GHWB called Reaganomics “Voodoo economics”.

Who’s called him an anti-Semite? I must have missed that. I’ve seen a lot of questions about his father, bu tnot allegations that he’s an anti-Semite. Rand is very pro-Israel.

Well, if the Republican “leadership” in the House does push gun control over the majority Republican opinion, I’m going to guess that will pretty much insure a third party split-off. The “leadership” is not just stepping, but fervently leaping onto what until recently has been a hidden but extrememly high-voltage “Third Rail” of politics. It’s not hidden any more, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this shit out, given current events. Anybody buying into this meme with aspirations to running for the presidency in 2016 can look forward to their Wiki entry saying “loser.”
