I ruled out a Jeb Bush candidacy for President in 2016. No way in the world would I vote for a big government RINO Bush.

He may not rule out running, but "We the People" can rule out his chance of winning.

There is such a disconnect between them ´n us, that it just seems surreal to consider his possible candidacy.

I vote NO.

I´m sure the Bush family is nice, but I don´t want another member of that family running for president. I´m tired of dynasties in this country. I voted for George W. Bush, but the Bushes are too liberal on some issues like immigration.

His "we´ve lost our way" phrasing reveals him as an intellectual loser. He´d give us a third term W. Oy.

Our way is clear and steady...liberty, small government.

OH.DEAR.GOD.NO.

Not another Bush
Not another Clinton
ABSOLUTELY not another Obama

We should be smart enough now to reject these dynastic families. Of course, considering the American electorate - smart is a relative term...

Hillary or Michelle would beat him like a drum. 48 state landslide.

I wish he would.

Is he running as a democrat or as a "compassionate conservative?"

No.

Rand and Marco

If the moderate wing of the Republican party is upset about the Romney loss being the result of Conservatives staying home; wait until the results of a Bush nomination come in. Against my better judgement I voted for McCain and given the alternative I voted for Romney, BUT no way will I ever vote for another Bush. If we cannot move away family dynasties controling politics in this country, then we are no better than Pakistan or Syria. The same goes for Clinton.

Unfortunately, many of the mindless will scream and insult while proclaiming that Bush is the only hope for the future of the Republican Party. Let them!!

It doesn´t matter. Hillary will win in 2016.

Remember when the accusations on these threads were that Palin pieces, whether pro or con, were posted only as an opportunity to "bash" her? Would that shoe fit the ongoing Jeb Bush postings?

Maybe, or maybe not, but I have nothing against Jeb Bush, who apparently is a man of honor and integrity and was a popular governor. Beyond that, why not wait and see?

I´m afraid that the media, liberals, and country-club Republicans have already picked the Republican presidential nominee for 2016.

No... please no. Not another Bush-Romney-McCain-Dole piece of manure. Please no!

Agree with other L-dotters, no more Legacies by the name of Bush, O., Clinton, etc.

Just say ´NO´ to any more legacies. Loved W, but he screwed the pooch in his second term with the amnesty push. He should have come down harder on the EPA and the AGW crap as well.

If the Republican party is as tired of losing elections as WE THE PEOPLE are, they´ll surely not endorse Jeb Bush, ya´ think? We want somebody who´s on our side for a change.

You are ruled out Jeb. Have a nice life.

He may not have, but I never even considered it.

And he is all for raising taxes.

Bye bye jebbie.

I don´t care about dynasties. I just want a true conservative. No RINO´s, no problem. But we need to find that person and start support him/her now. The press will attempt to destroy the Rubio´s, Paul´s and Cruz´s before 2014. Rove will also join the Democrats and the press and tell us why we shouldn´t support these guys. They systematically destroyed Palin, Bachmann, Cain and others. They made it so we as conservatives would be afraid to vote for them. Rubio´s too young and inexperienced. Paul´s like his father and is extreme. Cruz is loudmouth with again with no experience. So we might as well vote for another RINO or we´ll be giving the election to Hilary.

Jeb Bush and Christie should not run for president. both are unelectable. If the Republicans put up either one of them, I am done with them all.

This might come as a big surprise, but whoever the Republican 2016 nominee eventually is, The Media will do their utmost to destroy him or her.

Nothing is going to change that. Ever.

Even if it is a black lesbian albino with a cleft palate, club foot, and Asperger´s.

Jeb needs a job. One of the most lucrative jobs in the world is running for president. Live off donations for 3 years. Hire your family and friends at huge salaries. Lots of ways to pocket all kinds of cash. And, most importantly, someone to carry your luggage.

That´s why they do it. The minute outflow exceeds income from contributions, they drop out and live off the hidden spoils, regardless of what they tell you about incurring enormous campaign debt. Which, of course, they then have to have fund raisers to pay off.

What a sorry bunch of people politicians are.

I´m bushed.

I loved George Bush; but I just don´t see myself defending another Bush ad infinitum.

He should....

With all of this outside money raising that the Obama´s are doing, an the push to keep Michelle in high profile, look for her to make a run in 2016. Just saying. She would have all of the Black vote, 75% of Hispanics, an 60% of the Woman vote.

I don´t think you have a voice at all in the "conservative movement", there Jeb, let alone leading it.

If you nominate him you can go ahead and blame me for losing.

...the two party system is vital. The retention of the current naming of those parties is vital. Democrats stand for Equality and Republicans stand for Freedom.

The Democratic Party has succeeded to prevail in pressing forth the argument that Equality, regulated and imposed by large central Government, is good. Think about that; how inept does the Republican Party establishment need to be in order to lose a debate where freedom becomes secondary to faceless regulation and enforcement.

He may run and he may get the Republican nomination but he will never get the office. He will never get my vote I´m done with big government Republicans. I held my nose and voted for McCain and to a lesser extent Romney but I won´t do that any more. Besides the msm has already given the job to Hillary so she can continue the destruction of the country.

The Establishment chain of succession continues.

Enough, already.

Personally, I´m OK with George and Barb´s second son running in 2016, as long as it´s for Presidente Of The United Mexican States.

I object! No more Bushes, No to Christie, no more RINOs! It is time for a full-fledged conservative - no ifs, ands, or buts!

If the establishment does not listen next time, this will get very ugly.

Heavens no, my gosh! Anyone with the name Bush will lose no matter how good of a person they are. His name alone is political poison.

If we want a true conservative, it isn´t going to happen with the republican party. Jeb B is a perfect example of the definition of insanity. Why try to lose yet again. We either purge the pubbies of people like bush and rove or form a third party. Sure, it may take a couple of cycles for the lo-fos to get desperate enough to elect a conservative, but with the likes of bush, mcain, boehner, and graham and christy, we will lose again anyway.

Please. Please stop doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. If we win, we lose. If we lose, we really lose big. Some choices.

It would be wise to reread #25. Absolutely true for anyone who really knows how party politics works! Jeb does need a job and these pols have learned how to live very well off taxpayers. The Bushes better think twice. Conservatives have learned our lesson. Do not count on us rolling over again.

there are two things I will NEVER vote for, a Democrat or another Bush.

I am with #32. NO COMPROMISE on this one.

I don´t think so. He has lost his way.
You want a smaller turn out than you had with Romney?

Only the most stupid media people and dumb Yankees (I know, I repeated myself) think these two Bozo RINO´S have a chance.

Will we ever to free of Bushes, Clintons, Obamas and other profession politicians? Our country has been ruined by these so-called "elites".

Please rule it out.

Possibly the dumbest thread that has ever been printed on this site. Ingrates - double that down.

I agree Bush should not run because this country is not fond of dynasty´s. with that said some of the comments here are the stupidest I seen in a long time. This Bush is a RINO, he was a hell lot more conservative than Perry or any other republican governor. It amazes me that so many of you post about how liberal he is without knowing his record. Just about the lowest taxes in the nation, the 10 10 10 rule( I bet most posters who bash him don´t even know what that is) Remember Teri Schiavo I guess not, ya that was real liberal of him. I think what bothers a lot of people is he doesn´t hate brown people.

Nothing better than posts calling everyone else stupid and racist.

If this is the best the GOP has to offer, we have already lost.

If you don´t like immigration now, you won´t like it under Jeb and his Mexican wife.

I just think mamma isn´t leaving this earth until a third Bush is in the wh.

He may not rule out running but have ruled him out. You think 3 million stayed home on Romney (mostly Christians not voting Mormon thats what they tell me their reason was.

There will be more conservatives staying home with Jeb boy running.

He has to much baggage in his family and like his dumb /fool brother is a big government open borders, war by choice jerk.

No way Jose.

In previous years, I´ve defended the Republican Party, arguing that conservatives need to take it back rather than voting 3rd Party and thereby guaranteeing Democrat victory.

After last November, and watching the current behavior of the GOP, I´ve thrown up my hands. We need another alternative.
