John Boehner and the Bush Machine are pressuring Paul Ryan to run for President

If this report is true and Paul Ryan runs, I will oppose him. The Rockefeller Republicans are trying to pressure the House Republican to run for President. House Speaker and political eunuch John Boeher likes the idea. Boehner is in cahoots with the Bush Mafia (Jeb Bush, Bill Bennett and Mitch Daniels) in applying the pressure on Ryan. The Bush machine are not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. They clearly want something in return for supporting Ryan.

As Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan comes to a final decision about running for president, several top national conservatives are encouraging him to join the race. Ryan, who has been seriously but quietly considering a presidential bid for several months, is expected to decide on a run in the next two weeks.

[…]

Another prominent conservative reformer, Jeb Bush, also thinks Ryan should run.
“Paul Ryan would be a formidable candidate. I admire his substance and energy. Win or lose, he would force the race to be about sustained, job-creating economic growth and the real policies that can achieve it.”

[….]

Ryan is in Colorado vacationing with his family this week. Three sources close to Ryan tell THE WEEKLY STANDARD that his wife, Jana, is “on board” with a presidential bid. “That is a very big deal,” says one Ryan confidant. “Not that she’s enthusiastic, but she understands and she’s with him on it.”

Ryan is also spending this time talking to friends and advisers as he tries to finalize his decision. Bill Bennett, who counts as both, will be taking a hike with Ryan later this week and will be talking to him about a run. “I’ll be with him in the next couple days and I expect to have some good long talks,” Bennett says from Colorado.

The Bush Mafia and the Rockefeller Republicans are manipulative and cynical scoundrels. Clearly they feel that if they help Paul Ryan win the nomination, he will owe them. That means Jeb Bush would be Ryan’s VP. Haven’t Conservatives learned their lessons from the disasterous Presidencies of Papa and Baby Bush?

Conservatives, stay out the Bushes and say no to Ryan in 2012.

George P. Bush: Do not count my father Jeb out as future presidential contender

Yeah right – that’s  what the country wants, another Bush in the White House because the first two worked out so beautifully. The first one was a lying, one term failed president and the second one barely won in 2000 and 2004 and was so ineffectual he paved the way for Barack Obama.  Dream on! Not only no, but HELL NO! This is not a monarchy as a commenter wrote.

George P. Bush told The Daily Caller on Wednesday that although he wishes his father, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, would enter the 2012 race for the White House, he doesn’t count him out as a future presidential contender.

“I think that time will only continue to benefit not only my uncle’s record [former President George W. Bush], but my dad’s opportunity to run for higher office,” the younger Bush said, while answering whether the notion of “Bush fatigue” has weighed heavily on his father’s electoral considerations. “Make no mistake about it, I think a lot of people sorely miss and would relish some sort of return of that type of approach to leading our country.”

“It’s not do or die in this cycle by any means,” Bush added. “My dad’s a young guy.”

Bush did suggest, however, that the immediate perception of his uncle after he left the White House may have hindered his father’s short-term electoral options.

“For better or for worse, they share the same name, they share the same blood, and kinship, and therefore it’s just difficult,” he said.

George P. Bush himself is widely seen as the heir to his family’s vaunted political legacy. He told TheDC that, having recently returned to Texas from a tour of Afghanistan as an intelligence officer in the Navy Reserves, he is focused first on building his family and his career in real estate.

Huckabee would support Jeb Bush

As I have stated, like the Bourbons, the Republicans have learned nothing and forgotten nothing. In the run up to the 2010 elections, the GOP acted like Conservatives, but since the election is over they are back to their old ways.

Former Arkansas governor and Progressive Republican, Mike Huckabee, said in an interview that should Jeb Bush run for office in 2012, he will sit out. Huckabee should sit out anyway since he’s a two face fake, but promoting Jeb Bush isn’t the solution. Jeb is a Liberal Republican and is a member of the Liberal Bush clan. His dad and brother governed as big government Rockefeller Republicans. They were pushed around by the Democrats and didn’t fight back. Jeb is cut from the same cloth and would be a disaster for the Republican Party and Conservative movement.

But he said he would stay out of the race if former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush were to run.

“I love Jeb, I think he’s brilliant,” Huckabee said. “He could certainly raise the money, and I think he’d clear the deck.” He also said there are a lot of capable, qualified possible candidates who “aren’t the obvious ones.”

Read it all: Obama ‘Amateurish,’ Jeb Bush ‘Brilliant’

The Bush family has a history of using the Conservative movement for their own means. They use social issues to cover up their Progressive Republican instincts. Jeb Bush would guarantee a second Obama term. The Bush family’s con games with Conservatives are over and Jeb Bush would go nowhere in a Primary.
