Bush loss on Tuesday ends the Bush "dynasty"

[Paragon]

Somehow, I don't think the RNC will be very quick to back a Jeb (or even P.) run at the White House in the future...

A third possible Bush lame-duck President? Not even the most diehard freep can get behind that.

[Carrion]

1. Don't be so sure....

Just be happy for the pending end of Bush II.

[Paragon]

3. Oh, I'm sure.

Back another loser? The money is never again going to flow into Bush coffers the way it has.

Even a gambling addict knows a bad hand when they see one.

2. I wouldn't bet the farm on that one! Remember Nixon!

I figured when he lost to Kennedy he would never have come back, but there he was, and he won comfortably.
I don't think Jeb is any different in phylosophy that Shrub, but he's a lot more articulate, and actually makes sense when he speaks!

I remember seeing Jeb on TV in 2000, and although I detest the Bushes, I said Jeb was the one that should have been running.

[TexasChick]

4. napi21, I agree with you somewhat. But, I have a question...

Wouldn't it be bad for Jeb to run for President after the disenfranchisment of African American voters in Florida in 2000? I was just wondering...I don't know if people would vote for him, seems like they wouldn't trust him either? :shrug:

[napi21]

11. I can only depend on what I've heard. Jeb was overwhelmingly

re-elected in Fa. in 2002, I think. That to me means that either a lot of his oposers didn't bother to vote, or he still maintains a lot of popularity in Fl.

I would have thought the same as you, but it didn't happen.

[carpetbagger]

15. Jeb said he's not running in 2008.

Sure, he can change his mind, but he wouldn't have said it as unequivocally as he did if he was going to run.

[ima_sinnic]

18. but I have to suspect that election was fixed

It's true that Jeb has the support of the big-business crooks who run Florida but I don't think that election was entirely legitimate.

[coloradodem2005]

19. Generally speaking 2002 is a very bad example.

Because he was riding on his brother's "success". :eyes: Many Republicans were "elected" and "re-elected" because they were looking tough on terror and they were successfully playing on people's fears.

5. Clinton dealt with scandals while in office.

Bush will have to deal with them after leaving. Like most Democrats I'm not in a pardoning mood.

[Paragon]

6. True.

So many investigations have been put on hold to avoid looking "partisan".

Think Kerry will pardon Bush like Ford did Nixon? ;-)

[bobbieinok]

7. WHYwould/should he??????

[Paragon]

9. It was a rhetorical question.

I was kidding.

[pa28]

23. Kerry would.

He's all about class and I have no doubt he will protect Bush. I guess I'm not as gracious. If it were me I would give Bush the "Clinton treatment". I'd say "let the rule of law prevail" and throw his ass to the wolves.

8. Romanov

[Sugarbleus]

10. One can only hope so ....

I'm also thinking about the old farts that have served with repugs for way too many decades: Rumsfeld, Cheney etc. They will be finished once and for all as well. Hallelujah!!

[Paragon]

12. "The Cheney Curse"

Every administration he has worked for has been a lame duck.

He was in the private sector during the Reagan years.

[Sugarbleus]

20. Very Well Put!!

The time has come to drive a stake into that dark heart.

[neomonkey]

13. Oh sadly I disagree

We will be haunted by the Reign of Bush's for a long time yet.

Remember Halloween when Michael Myers kept coming back from the dead. You thought the movie was over then suddenly, in the corner of the screen, he rose again!

That's how I feel about the Bush monarchy in this country.

We get rid of Shrub, but there is another Bushturd waiting in line to usurp the Oval Office.

[despairing optimist]

14. The Fly, The Return of the Fly, The Revenge of the Fly, The Curse of the

Fly. The hits just keep on coming. Keep the (environmentally safe) bug spray handy.

[zappaman]

16. Let's hope it ends

Reminds me of when the first Bush was in and I had a "Bush Sucks" bumper sticker. Simple, yet said it all.
Anyway, after Clinton came in I would get asked when I was going to remove it. Since Bush was out, it didn't make sense to keep it on.
My reply was always "He's got sons, doesn't he?"

[RafterMan]

17. Nah, they're going to be popping up like Romanovs

Constant vigillance.

[mitchum]

21. Well, there is a solution to that

[Neshanic]

22. It ain't necessarily so. Think cockroaches with money.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

24. Fool me once, uh...

shame on you

Fool me, uh, can't get fooled again!

Fool me three times? No f**king way.


And by "me" I mean the American Public. (I don't want anyone thinking I voted for the idiot!)
