Jeb Bush presidential announcement shaped by family history

My favorite quote of the article.

Jeb Bush’s greatest challenge is that he is seen by most Americans as the brother of George W. Bush and the son of George H.W. Bush, despite a long career in politics and business.

LOL.

So who will be his VP and how long will it take for the GOP to nominate him?

His name isn't Jebediah. Jeb is short for John Ellis Bush.

Geez.

Geez.

It's his new nickname. I like it.

Will he promise us all a free cement pond if we vote for him I wonder?

It sure beats a crappy Obamaphone.

Isn't that was compassionate conservatism is all about?

Don't know what he'll promise or do I just know that I won't vote for him.

Everyone I talk to says that, yet he will win the nomination

What does that say about the GOP?

Jeb’s older brother, then the governor of Texas, laid down a marker in his presidential announcement speech on June 12, 1999, in Amana, Iowa. In it, he challenged conservatives skeptical of his rhetoric about compassion.
“I know this approach has been criticized. But why? Is compassion beneath us? Is mercy below us? Should our party be led by someone who boasts of a hard heart? I know Republicans — across the country — are generous of heart,” George W. Bush said. “I am proud to be a compassionate conservative. I welcome the label. And on this ground I’ll take my stand.”
“Prosperity must have a purpose,” W. said.


Yep, just a chip off the old block. Nothing new here.

Apparently we can only be compassionate by giving more of our money to the government, but I think that is only common sense.

What makes him different from Obama then I wonder?

I would prefer if they lied to me. Just tell them conservatives what they at least want to hear, then screw them once in office.

I suppose that is the best case scenrio. At least conservatives would have a delusion of hope.

That was Jedidiah, if you're referring to the Clampett clan leader.
