Maybe Sarah will let him run as her VP is 20012 if he asks real polite like.

History books is where they belong, no matter what is said about them. I’m flat sick of this kind of politics and I’ll vote against it no matter who is running in opposition to them.

Is there some way we could get the Bushes to switch to the Democrats? …

We don’t need another “compassionate ‘conservative’”.

Covey is a sharlatan. Anyone who still quotes him is behind the times.

Heh; that was the first thing I spotted too. Covey? Parroting his cutesy catch-phrases was trendy to the point of annoying about 14 years ago, but I thought his cultists had mostly moved on to other things. Guess some of them are still around, annoyingly dropping gratuitous Coveyisms about saw-sharpening & win-wins into every conversation. They probably have Successories posters in every room in the house, too.

Knowing Jeb’s still a follower of the Seven Habits of Highly Offensive People makes me even more relieved he wouldn’t seek the Presidency. No more Bushes, no more Clintons, no more Kennedys, no more Rockefellers, no more Cuomos. That Anti-Dynasty amendment someone proposed a few years ago didn’t really have enough teeth, since it only would have prevented an immediate relative from assuming the same office. Draft one that bars immediate relatives of former residents & legislators from the legislature and the presidency both, and it would have my vote for ratification.

RINO’S

No freaking way. I’ve got a spidey-sense about these sort of things. Democrats don’t care about voting, except when its for B. Hussein. Republicans will cling to all of their wins like grim death.

Trust me.

“involved in the advocacy of a vibrant, growing Republican Party and with it, 21st Century conservative solutions to the challenges we face.”

How about using 20th century conservative solutions……
Republicans blew it. Jeb knows it and so do the rest of them. Keep reinventing the wheel boys and girls, and you will never, ever, ever be in the majority again.
And I have said it before, good riddance Mel.

Not to mention one of the smarter Republicans, if only because he knows his limitations.

To sum it up, in the words of Dr. Stephen Covey, I have decided to put “First Things First”.

Covey is a sharlatan. Anyone who still quotes him is behind the times. The 7 ideas he had are cliches. Other than that he’s a snooty ars who takes lots of money, for nearly nothing, which idiots gladly pay for. I should admire his Capitalism.

OT, I’m glad no more Bushs. If only no more: Kennedys, Clintons and Obamas, as invariably they will be added to the list.

On the exit question – I’m glad for that potential outcome. The idiot populace has to be decimated by the party in power to really feel the self-inflicted pain. For now it’s just a slow and not intense enough pain. GA thought it did good, and her intentions were good, but it delayed the obvious.

America’s version of the European Union.

nuclear option. Things will be just “too important” to filibuster. That’ll be the mantra.

Nah, the Democrats will back away from the nuclear option just as the Republicans did. Besides, with 59 Democratic senators and multiple RINOs, McConnell’s filibustering days are over anyway.

Exit question: What’s the difference really between 59 Democratic Senators and, say, 65?

Given the Pubbies track record, it’s more like the difference between 59 and 67, even though we’d be losing mostly RINOs.
