Jeb Bush ideal candidate for Republican party
Jeb Bush ideal candidate for Republican party

Our founding fathers settled America to escape the tyrannical and undemocratic rule of England. They were determined to found a new country without the idea of British royalty ruling them and with a say in the affairs of the state.

They yearned for an egalitarian state where every person, regardless of their birth status, could rise to their potential and fulfill their hopes and dreams without the yoke of limitations. They disliked the thought of royalties or dynasties.

Although Americans have shown a disdain to dynasties, which is inherent in our constitution, ironically we have shown a fondness for family lines politically. Just look at the names of our presidents and presidential candidates - Adams, Roosevelt, Kennedy and now Bush.

The Bush family is now the most successful political dynasty in American history and the question in 2008 will be would Americans vote for a third Bush for president in 20 years

3. At one time, In order to be president, one must have a brain; not anymore
Well, I guess the third Bush could at least finish the job of taking our country down to the lowest level in history...What a terrible shame.

:scared: :scared: :cry: :cry: :cry:

6. The Bush family is scarcely a successful dynasty
The first president in that dynasty got in because he had been VP and then lost his reelection bid. The second one lost his first election and probably the second.

Doesn't seem like success to me.

7. let me get this straight: our founding fathers despised dynasties, so
what we ought to do is install a dynasty (a horribly corrupt and vicious family).

Got that?

I swear these idiots have not ONE active synapse in the whole mess that would otherwise be a human brain.

8. the only way he'd be "elected"

12. Jeb said he would not run for President.
Just like George said he would not run for President when he ran for a second term as governor of Texas. We all know how that turned out.

13. Since actual voting doesn't count any more, why not? Here's my prediction
After 8 years of shrub (2001-2008), 8 years of Jeb (2009-2016), 8 years of Neil (2017-2024), 8 years of George P. ("Ricky Martin") Bush (2025-2032), the dynasty would probably come to an end under Noelle (2033-2036); as Chinese, Indian, Russian and European Community armies close in on Washington, liberating concentration camps in which the majority of the population is imprisoned, but also stripping factories, infrastructure, buildings, the few remaining trees, and other assets to send back to their respective countries to pay off American's $175 trillion debt to the world, Noelle would be crouched in a bunker under the White House, sucking on her trusty crack pipe, preparing herself for the end.
