Below is a blog from Nov. 28, 2013 which quotes my blog from July 15, 2012.
I first thought this in late '09 when I read that Jeb Bush had attended a Rand Paul fundraiser. Everywhere I've posted it someone says, "No way." Well, way. This criticism of Romney from fellow Republicans is unprecedented. Republicans don't do that; they hold coronations. I still think that Romney is a dark-horse, willing or unwilling, for the next King Bush. I think he (Bush) will incorporate just enough of the Ron Paul libertarianism for Rand Paul to accept the VP slot and to gather votes
Here is
the latest article I've seen about Jeb Bush taking a Radical Right viewpoint.
And below is a short blog from July 15, 2012. I think I was just too early in
my prediction.

that Romney just can't get.
If I'm wrong, I'm only wrong, but if I'm right
I claim 2 (now 4) years of
braggin' rights!
I get at least five years of braggin' rights now.
What can Rand Paul do for the Bush/Saudi branch of US politics? Here are my thoughts; notice that each issue is a beautiful usurpation of what could have been Democratic issues.
They can vow to reduce military spending.
They can vow to reduce CIA/et al wholesale spying on American citizens.
They can vow to reduce dependence on drone strikes.
They can vow to end torture.
They can vow to reduce the prison population of the US.
They can vow to take marijuana off the federal list of illegal drugs, entirely leaving the regulation of pot to the states.
These items simply pop into my mind and I am too distracted by Klezmer music on Pandora right now to come up with more.
