Governor says Nelson will be next to go down
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/local/10242270.htm

Surrounded by fellow Republicans, Bush celebrated the win of his brother, President Bush, and predicted that Republicans would take out U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in 2006. Nelson is the lone remaining Democrat elected statewide.

''Basically there's only one race left that we can win, and we're going to win that in two years when a U.S. senator is elected,'' Bush said to a round of fervent applause. ``It's not going to be me, but maybe it will be someone from this room.''

-

''We can't be the party of the government,'' Bush said .

:scared:

1. Well... Jeb could beat him...but

Harris & Foley don't have a great chance at it.

Maybe Connie Mack

[Bridget Burke]

2. With Jeb in charge in Florida....

How can any Democrat get elected?

[Freddie Stubbs]

3. Nelson was elected in 2000

when Jeb was in charge.

[KayLaw]

11. Yes

But that was before these new machines.

[Ducks In A Row]

14. and before they pefectly purging dem votes, and techniques...

of harassment on election day.

I hope the cops in florida are ashamed of themselves.

and the media is also to blame for this bullshit.

[Freddie Stubbs]

21. What did the cops in FL do this year?

And why has the NAACP been so silent on this?

[ooglymoogly]

26. yes with diebold at our side we shall lay flat the earth

[KDLarsen]

4. Uh, let me see..

''We can't be the party of the government,'' Bush said

The Rethugs control the House, the Senate & the White House - but they can't be the party of the Government?

[Mika]

5. Its the cognitive dissonance of the Norquist crowd. n/t

[ElsewheresDaughter]

7. they control not only the WH, the house & senate, USSC but also Media

the 4th branch of government = the corporate media

[AP]

17. & they have the 5th column on their side too: OBL videos on request: "TFL"

Total Fear Live.

[Raster]

19. Let's make a list why there won't be fair elections in Florida :

1) Gov. jeb bush
2) Osama on Demand
3) Diebold R Us
4) Gov. jeb bush
5) Florida lap dog media
6) US lap dog media
7) Gov. jeb bush
8) katherine, glenda or whatever he calls his female election minion this time around
9) Gov. jeb bush as the state chairman of the republican reelection campaign

[AP]

22. What they don't have is logic and values. That's the air vent in the...

...Death Star.

You don't need anything else but to drop two little bombs in the right spot and watch the whole thing explode from the inside out.

[Raster]

27. Nice metaphor. Calling Luke Skywalker...

[AP]

28. Red Five, feeling the force here.

[democrat in Tallahassee]

6. He owns the voting machines so he should know.

[Lerkfish]

9. this confirms my belief: repukes aren't happy enough to win, everyone else

must DIE.

[BlueJazz]

8. You can bet your sweet ass though, when the economy...

...goes sour, Democrats will be the first people they'll blame.

[ozymandius]

10. Did Jeb just send out a work order to the hackers and tabulators? n/t

[The Backlash Cometh]

12. No doubt he will as long as Diebold is still in this state.

[tommcintyre]

13. GOP 2006 wish list: Hillary, Nelson, plus 2 more/Democracy Gone!

In 2006, it is HAVA mandated 100% Evoting + no paper trail + delayed (or no) exit polls = 5 Dem Senators gone = no more filabuster (the last thread of "balance of power") = Bye bye Democracy.

[GRLMGC]

15. What a headache

Sigh, democracy will die when that day comes.

[progressivebydesign]

18. HAVA was a republican windfall!!

I have no idea how people actually believed it helped voting at all. From my own experience, I was forced to send a copy of my driver's license to the state in order to vote, or be removed from the voter rolls.

We have to learn, if it's called HELP AMERICA VOTE ACT, it means the opposite. That's the Bush mentality. If it says CLEAN AIR, it means dirtier air, etc.

[AP]

16. And maybe lots of DU'ers will complain Nelson is too conservative...

...and that it wouldn't be a bad thing if we lost him, or maybe they'll say who cares if we win, so long we run the most liberal Democrat possible, regardless of the realities of running for statewide office in Florida.

[BeyondGeography]

23. Sounds like the Daschle treatment

I'm sure we all feel much better now that we lost that South Dakota seat to fine young man like John Thune.

Anyway, the Pubs are drunk on their own success right now, seeing how far they can push things to the conservative extreme. The center is wide open. By 2006, Nelson et al will be able to run an intelligent campaign against their IDEOLOGY. Hopefully the party finally develops a strong and consistently advanced argument for our philosphy vs. theirs, and puts the laundry list of policy plans in a supporting role.

[AP]

25. Exactly. I agree on every count.

[TankLV]

29. Bahhh!

[Verve]

20. Floridians! Where are you? I'd be hopping mad if I had to live in

a state as crooked as this!

[Lorien]

30. We ARE hopping mad!

but how do we deal with the BBV situation? We can't even get the DLC to see that there's a problem, let alone the media!

[CBHagman]

24. "Reform" = plutocracy, nepotism, dismantling the Constitution...

...and a few other things I could name.

Seriously, the treacherous apes in the Bush family are the ones who need to be removed from office -- them and their cronies. First, we cannot make nice with them; they are ruthless and don't care how many generations they grind under their boot heels.

Second, what are we doing TODAY to discredit and remove them?

ENVISION A COUNTRY WITH NO BUSHES IN OFFICE. We can achieve that dream.
