2. I think the Bush family would certainly like that scenario
But who knows what others in the party think. He is certainly one of the front runners for the nomination in 2008, on name recognition alone.

8. It doesn't matter what
other Republicans think. The * family will get what they want. It will be Jeb in 2008. Count on it.

And unless the election fraud issue is addressed, he will be crowned "king", just like his brother.

3. I think so. Every piece of shit * wants his turn as king.
Sending that piece of shit overseas to try and get some spotlight time was only the beginning.

These jerks are evil and it will not end in 2008.

6. I agree with you...
It's too early in the morning, or anytime for that fact, to even imagine another shrub in the White House.

7. I have often wondered about that myself...
I just don't want to believe the people of this country would elect another Bush. I think they would say "enough", we need some new blood in that office. Then again, maybe not!!!!

Edited on Thu Jan-06-05 08:43 AM by leesa
9-11, that Jeb set up, of all the flight records of the alleged terrorists . We also need to expose the reason that Florida was put under martial law on 9/7/01. We also need to expose the ongoing voter fraud in Florida.

This man is a criminal like his father and his brothers and he MUST be exposed. It will be too late later.

10. No, Jeb is too dirty. Frist is the next nazi president.
Jeb has too many mistresses and corpses and stolen elections to withstand the scrutiny.

15. Right, right, right, sorry! I was thinking back to a time when the
politics of personal destruction included almost eviscerating a man for getting a blow job with a consenting adult... you know, when morals MATTERED!

What was I thinking?????

16. His parenting skills are great for showing how well he will run the
country....into the ground. Those Christian values and all.

17. He has said repeatedly he will not run.
Can't we just stop this nonsense and accept his word for it? I mean, come on, he's signed Bibles for inmates. Would a liar do that?

Someone, please tell me I didn't just type that.

An article from September 1998-

Make the Money and Run

Jeb Bush followed the family game plan: Earn your fortune, then run for public office. A vast network of deals made it possible.

By ALECIA SWASY
and ROBERT TRIGAUX

© St. Petersburg Times, published September 20, 1998

What exactly does Jeb Bush do for a living?

The 45-year-old Republican nominee for governor has hawked luxury condos in South Florida, sold industrial sites for IBM, made bank loans in Venezuela and marketed giant water pumps in Nigeria. He has even tried to sell imported shoes to Wal-Mart.

His corporate ties are a web of more than two dozen companies, including obscure, privately held ventures called Uno, Uno Dos and Oriental Trading, and bigger public companies such as SunTrust, Anchor Glass, Ideon and American Heritage Life Insurance.

20. Of course - why else would he be chosen to visit the Tsunami victims??
This isn't the job of a governor at all.

Lord help us.
