If U.S. is going to have dynasties, at least have good ones

By Gene Healy | APRIL 1, 2014

Draft Bush! That's the GOP establishment's bold new scheme for 2016. And people say they’re out of ideas.

“Many if not most” of 2012 nominee Mitt Romney's biggest donors are courting former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the Washington Post reported Sunday; the “vast majority” would back him in a nomination fight, according to one top fundraiser. Jeb, brother and son to presidents 43 and 41, respectively, hasn't yet made up his mind: “the decision will be based on ‘Can I do it joyfully?'”

If he can, he's stranger than he seems, and maybe not the sort of fellow we want to trust with nuclear weapons.

Still, Jeb seemed pretty jubilant last fall, at a Philadelphia event, where he and Hillary Clinton, the odds-on favorite for the Democratic nod in 2016, “basked in a mood of bipartisan bonhomie.” Bush was there to give his potential 2016 rival the National Constitution Center's "Liberty Medal." "Hillary and I come from different political parties, and we disagree about a few things," he joked, "but we do agree on the wisdom of the American people -- especially those in Iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina."…..To Read More…… 

My Take - I will have to admit the executive board, and the board of directors, of the Club For the Galacticly Stupid are made up of Democrats, and general membership falls in that line also. But one thing about the Club for the Galacticly Stupid is it’s bi-partisan. There are a host of Republicans that qualify, such as Karl Rove, and these blithering idiots that think a man who supports Common Core and praises illegal immigrants as ‘risk takers’ can be pushed onto the public as a ‘conservative’.

As for Mike Huckabee; he and Jeb Bush are pretty much peas in the same pod, don’t let the rhetoric fool you. Huckabee and Bush both support the illegal immigration policies of the left and they both support Common Core, although Huckabee claims he wants to just retread Common Core….but he supports the very concept of this massive big government program to impose federal standards of education on society.   Isn't that a pretty definition of a true fascist central planner?

Did either of them ever go to a history class, or actually read the Constitution, or the Federalist Papers? This is exactly the kind of thing the founding fathers wanted to avoid. If these two loons think Common Core is such a good idea it means they're too stupid to be president and if they don't really think that, and are just playing politics, they're too corrupt. Two more excellent reasons to repeal the 16th and 17th amendments.
