Please, Lord, not another Bush

Not too long ago, Jeb Bush suddenly starting publishing essays, this one on education, calling for federal funded vouchers and school choice, but he still sounds like a central planner. You can always recognize a power grab when you see a sentence that starts like this, "While states should remain responsible for managing their own public school system, it is in the national interest..." It sounded to me at the time like he was seeding the ground for a presidential run.

Tonight Jeb Bush is doing his first interview since God knows when on Hannity. Naturally Hannity is going to launch the campaign of the next Bush for president. As sick as I am of seeing and listening to President Obama, my stomach turns worse at thinking about Hannity and Jeb Bush together.

On a personal level, I feel sorry for Jeb. It's not his fault that my stomach turns just thinking about him running for president. But on a political level, he's just another hypocritical Bush who will lie about supporting freedom and free markets while he attacks them with every policy just like a Democrat.

We are almost certainly going to elect a Republican president in four years after all the damage done by the Democrats. About the only thing that could prevent that is a powerful 3rd party run like Perot's that enabled Clinton to win twice.

But please, Lord, not another Bush.
