The hold the Bush family has on Republicans is just amazing. Both Poppy Bush and W were spectacular failures who have help put the Republican Party in the precarious state they are in today. Despite the failures of his brother and father, Jeb Bush is considering running for President in 2016.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush won’t confirm he’s a candidate for the next presidential race, but he sounded like a White House hopeful Monday, declaring his party in need of leadership.

“I have a voice, I want to share my beliefs about how the conservative movement and the Republican party can regain its footing, because we’ve lost our way,” he told TODAY’s Matt Lauer.

Bush said he wouldn’t rule out a run in 2016, “but I won’t declare today either.”

Jeb Bush will use the tactics his father and brother did to win the Republican nomination. He will go hard Right on a few social issues that will win him the devotion of Republican voters. But unlike 1988 and 2000, Jeb will lose the general election because of the hard stances he will take in the primaries. He should ask Mitt Romney how the Bush tactics work in today’s electorate. The sad part is because of the emotional attachment Republican voters have to the Bush name, he will be the favorite to win the GOP nod in 2016.

Porky Pig (Jeb Bush)’s friendship with Mike Bloomberg

It amazes me how the Bush family uses conservative red meat,  yet when one looks at their associations and real beliefs, they are progressives. Porky Pig aka Jeb Bush is a case in point. As Governor of Florida, he actually governed as a conservative.  Now that he is out of office, he has attacked conservatives and is best buddies with fellow Jacobin, Mayor Mike Bloomberg. As soon as he got in, Poppy and his Texas mafia purged the GOP of Reaganite values – as a result we got Clinton and worse, Obama.

A Romney loss, of course, would put the GOP in considerably more disarray than the Bush family. Jeb avoids characterizing the Republican Party today, instead looking to some unnamed future: “The GOP should be the GSP, the Grand Solutions Party,” he says. “It should be about solutions, not talking points. You look at the governors and you see the future of the party.”

 James Baker says Jeb Bush could well be that governor—if he can contend with a post-Bush party: “I would suggest to you that if Obama is reelected, which—I hope it doesn’t happen, but if he’s reelected—I think Jeb might very well decide to do something in 2016. But, of course, he will have to get out there and put his hat in the ring and beat people like [Paul] Ryan and [Rick] Santorum.”

 And there’s the rub: Can the Republican Party embrace a moderate again? Since leaving office, Jeb has become distinctly less conservative. In the past, he was a pro-gun, pro-life, pro–death penalty hard-liner who described himself as a “hang-’em-by-the-neck conservative.” But Jeb’s recent friendship with Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a critic of the tea party, has seemed to crystallize a shift toward a more moderate approach. In recent years, the two have become political allies, simpatico on education and immigration, and frequent golf partners in Florida and New York. Bush now serves on the board of directors at the Bloomberg Family Foundation, and Bloomberg L.P. hosted panel discussions at the GOP convention featuring both Jeb Bush and his son, George P. Bush.

I wish Conservatives would wake up to the face the Bush family has used them. They are not Conservative, the Bush clan are Jacobin fraudsters. and both Bush Presidencies have been failures. George P Bush is waiting in the wings and I hope Conservatives are wise enough to not let this clown get anywhere near elected office. Republicans need to stay out the Bushes.
