Jeb Bush, whose brother ran on fear & emotion, concerned about fear & emotion in current race

[Amerigo Vespucci]

MSNBC has been quoting Jeb Bush every 30 minutes or so, the quote about "I used to be a conservative and I don't think I've changed" and how the current race is playing to fear and emotion.

Has Jeb forgotten the fact that he is not an only child, and that he has a brother who suckled at the hind teat of fear and emotion for eight fucking years?

1. that's just hilarious

2. the media is separating him from the crazies so he can step up at the convention..

a brokered convention

3. The "base" is in a lather over the possibility of Jeb Bush and/or Chris Christie

Karl Rove...who has been known to be wrong on more than one occasion...thinks a brokered convention won't happen.

My personal belief is that the GOP won't run Romney or Santorum unless it just wants to punt to 2016 and a Jeb Bush run at that time. No matter how delusional they may be, they know Romney and Santorum can't win. So they'll be weighing "short term pain" (4 more years of Obama) against "long term gain" (a 2016 Jeb Bush / Chris Christie wet dream).

6. i think karl dismisses the possibility because it wasn't his idea.

i don't think they can afford to give Obama four more years...things will only get better.

4. Exactly, nothing more than a pretend moderate stance to try to attract back the Independents that

are fleeing the GOP thanks to Santorum, Newt, and Mitt.

5. That's what I'm wondering too. I can't imagine they are actually going to give Santorum the Nom

8. I've thought that for months now. I seriously think that you will probably see him

brokered in as the candidate.

7. There is an ulterior motive here,

which is a given with the Bush crime family. The religulously insane are scaring away too many people in the general public or will do so in the general election. This reduces Repuke electoral chances. What Bush, and the rest of the looting class, fears is that this will prevent them from returning to power to finish their looting. Simple, actually.
