If you thought Dubya was scary, meet Jeb!

[JohnLocke]

If you're from Florida, you know that his bumber sticker is "Jeb!" Well, some people have made one that says "Jeb?" Really funny.

But not so funny is Jebbie's political ambition. The last thing we need is another Bush in the White House.

1. The worst part is that Jeb doesn't mangle the English language

Between George and Jeb, Jeb clearly got the better deal from the Bush family jewels. It's almost hard to believe that they're brothers.

One thing about Jeb, though: He won't be counting on Rove anywhere near as much as Dubya does to script out his strategy. This chimp can actually think for himself.

He will likely be a challenger to Hillary in 2008 or (more hopefully) 2012. Be afraid. Be veeeerrry afraid.

4. What does "NeoProgressive" stand for?

Just curious. :hi:

2. I would love to meet him. In a dark, deserted alleyway.

:grr:

3. I have met Jeb

and thank god he didn't win the first time he ran against Lawton Chiles. Otherwise, he'd be president instead W and if anything could be worse than W it would be Jeb.

6. Jethro

Jethro (err, Jeb) is a joke among governors. Between him and his self-rightous brother Deuce Bush, they have racked up more executions that most other states combined.

It is funny how Jethro and Deuce Bush's families are such drug addicted buttheads - seeing how their daddies are so much against even have a joint.

7. I wonder if we Floridians had our brains fried

By all this tropical heat.

We elected this creep *twice*, so he could finish tearing apart what little safety-net remains. And some how it's okay that his wife was was caught trying to smuggle $12,000 of Paris gowns through customs, while we throw the book at some Welfare Mother trying to make enough money for toilet paper by cutting hair or sweeping floors.

And that his daughter has been arrested *three* times for scoring illegal drugs, and keeps getting sent to a pricy de-tox program, but that's "their private family tragedy". I certainly don't blame them for having an addict in the family, but then I think "what if she'd been poor and black?" Her dad wouldn't have hesitated in locking her up for life, and in a lousy prison system he privatized as well.

Grrrrrrr.
:mad:

8. Jeb is a signatory to PNAC

If there is such a thing as a smart Bush, it would be Jeb.
I think he actually attended classes in college and was sober once or twice during those classes.

9. Jeb is VERY scary...

Of any major politican alive, JEB! is the closest to being Nixon. No hyperbole, he is the real deal for the Dark Side. He is 100% more intelligent than W, yet has a much darker personality. A megalomanic like Nixon, he does not care what you think, toe the line or be crushed, smirking and laughing all the way. He has ZERO tolerance for criticism, and gets very testy publicly when questioned (which is rarely). The Republican controlled state Senate publicly displays their contempt for him, and the lap dog Repug state House tolerates him. They don't even like the bastard!

The eerie thing is that in this 50-50 swing state, the majority still likes him. In fact, look at the 2002 election results. There were several proposed amendments to our state constitution, most of which were championed by Florida Dem. leaders such as Sen. Bob Graham, Bill McBride, Janet Reno, Bill Nelson, etc.. Reducing class size, smoking ban, strengthing and insulating the state university system from political meddling..... Well, JEB! campaigned hard against all the LIBERAL ideas. Guess what? He was reelected by subtantial margin, but all the Dem. amendments passed with flying colors!

People want a Shrub, but Dem. ideas! One last word of caution about JEB!, unlike W, he actually deeply believes in the right wing ideology. 2008 watch out! He holds the average Floridian in open contempt, and they still love him.

:dem:

13. People like Dr. Phil and Dr. Laura, too.

Insecure people always listen to those who tell them there's something "wrong" with them. Pretty sorry way to go through life, but it's true.

10. Barbara sure birthed a zoo, didn't she?

First she mated with a chimp to have George and then a pig to have Jeb. What an ugly family both inside and outside.

14. Jeb Is *Not* Funny, Is Scarier Than Shrub/Babs/H.W.

and just think, there're MORE waiting in the wings, "the little brown ones" and the models and that party-boy and all. Oh, Lord.
