For the longest time, well at least since the the election of President Obama I have heard nothing but this constant drone about how the GOP has no one to lead them or there are no qualified candidates to run for President. Having considered that statement for sometime now, you may be surprised at one of the people I find to be very compelling for high office. However, before all of you anti-Palin folks out there fire up your google , I will tell you it's not Sarah Palin. The man does have however a name most if not everyone on this board will recognize and that is Bush. Yes, it's Jeb Bush , while not advocating for a run for President in 2012, I do feel that Jeb Bush is more than qualified to run for high office and highly intelligent and has much to offer. What may surprise some of you who will automatically dislike him because if the name is that some of his political ideas are far from what you would call ultra-conservative. So to spur debate on the subject, here are a few interesting articles.
