Another Bush in the White House?! Heaven help us all.
When I read this, I almost burst into tears at the horror.
"A Few Years, and Then Another Bush?
"Bush III? Or has the dynasty run its course?
"Those are the questions some Republicans are asking themselves as political talk bubbles up yet again about President Bush's brother Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida and his interest in the White House. The chief driver of the mini-buzz is the current occupant of the White House, who has said twice this month that his younger brother would make "a great president."
"No one, the president included, is suggesting that the younger Bush will run in 2008, and Governor Bush, whose second term is up in January, has adamantly ruled it out. But Republican Party leaders continue to talk seriously about a continuation of the dynasty, a Bush III administration, with Jeb as a candidate in 2012 or 2016, when the memory of the current president's dismal poll ratings will be less of a factor. That, at least, is what happened the last time around: President George Bush's unpopularity at the end of his term in 1992 did not hurt his eldest son when he ran for president eight years later."
Is it even possible that America could be stuck with another Bush?! When Jeb came out strong on Terri Schiavo, I was almost certain that he had his eye on the White House, but I never thought that he would have a chance of making it there. Another Bush presidency would ruin this country for sure. As if Bush hasn't caused enough damage already, imagine 4 or, god help us 8 more years of another Bush. The thought is horrible and scary. Thank goodness he doesn't seem to want to run in 2008. Maybe we can get a Democrat in office who will reverse the damage the Bush administration has caused and set America on the right path. Will it be Gore? I have high hopes for him.
