Jeb said just now on MSNBC that heavy turnout favors Repubs in Florida...

[Rex_Goodheart]

Called it a myth that heavy turnout will help Kerry, because more Republicans have registered in the last 4 years.

Damn! Always a fly in the ointment!

[dkamin]

1. LOL

Smell it? That's desperation, folks.

[Ms.Victory]

2. He's full of shit.

[arewenotdemo]

36. what she said ^

[VOX]

40. What he said. ^^^^^

:yourock:

[arewenotdemo]

49. backatcha, rezmutt

:headbang:

[shrub chipper]

57. He's a Bush, isn't he?

That meeans he is congenitally unable to tell the truth.

It's in his DNA to lie.

[vetwife]

3. Sure jeb..Like we are gonna believe a Bush !

[deadparrot]

I thought it was about equal...

1/3 Dems, 1/3 Repugs, 1/3 Indys...

[DoYouEverWonder]

23. There are still more registered Dems in Florida

than there are Repugs.

New registered voters were about the same for both parties this year, leaving the Dems in the majority.

However, in early voting the Dems are turning out in much bigger numbers than the Repugs. Jeb is full of shit.

[TimeToGo]

4. Not a fly -- a rat

The problem is if he says it he might just make it true. Remember his promise to find more votes for his brother AFTER the polls closed in 2000.

[Robeson]

You are right. He maybe setting the stage...

...to move those votes into his brother's column so he can prove that "heavy" Repug turnout statement.

[blackcat77]

5. What did you expect Jeb to say?

"Wow, that'a a really big pile of shit, so there must be a pony in there someplace..."

[Bandit]

13. Thank you... I haven't had a good chuckle for a few days now.

Must be a pony in there somewhere.

[Zynx]

He's REALLY making shit up now.

[West Coast Democrat]

6. Even Joe Scarborough concedes the turnout is Democratic!

[helpisontheway]

29. When did Scarborough say that

he was still making up shit last night as he posted to the blog. He believes that Bush will take FLorida easily. Then this morning he was posting vile stuff.

[West Coast Democrat]

55. Apparently he said he saw the early turnout lines in his part....

of the state, and felt positive until he got closer and realized most of the people in line were voting for Kerry.

[still_one]

7. I have refused to go to Florida since 2000

and will never go there as long as bush is the govenor

[freetobegay]

19. By that logic, you should leave America.

[David Dunham]

8. Dem parts of Florida are turning out most heavily. That is what matters.

[aquart]

9. Jeb is still recording Dem votes as Republican votes.

That rascal.

[Kadie]

He's dreaming. n/t

[StupidFOX]

10. Yeah, high turnout favors Bush

the same way Saddam caused 9/11 :crazy:

[derbstyron]

11. Speaking as a Floridian

Jeb is an asshole. He's lying and he's full of shit.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree in this case.
After I dump shrub this SOB is NEXT.
2008 my ass!

[derbstyron]

21. also

I don't have the exact numbers but democrats and republicans were about evenly split in the last figures that I saw. I think the repubs may have had about a 200,000 advantage.
But...
hundreds of thousands registered as No party/Independants. Anybody care to guess which way they're breaking.
hmmmm :)

[tsuki]

45. I agree.

Does this make me a dittohead?

[Mountainman]

12. That's their stock answer . I heard it yesterday when ever anyone said

that Kerry had the edge on newly registered voters. The wingnut talking point is that the repubs have been working hard for 4 years to win this election. To bad for them it won't be enough.

[Trajan]

14. IF the argument has been ...

That GOP voters have always 'shown up' at the polls more than Democrats, then they already are voting ....

Since it is said that Democrats 'dont show' at the polls, it would be THEY who would increase the numbers of voters, since GOP voters already 'show up' ...

See ? .... um .... yeah ....

[Kber]

15. That's why they are trying to suppress the vote down there? n/t

[montana500]

I guess jeb hasnt seen exit polls for the ealry voting

Kerry 52 to 44

[NewYorkerfromMass]

16. BWA HA HA HA HA!!!!! eom

[slestak]

17. I thought Jeb was the "smart" one? (n/t)

[ktowntennesseedem]

54. Being smarter than W ain't saying much!

[slater71]

18. Since when

Does anyone here think that a republican would stand in line for up to seven hours to vote? Yea right.

[Rebellious Republican]

20. Thats it, cover your tracks Jeb, we know the fix is in down here!

[orpupilofnature57]

22. I hope A P has alot of counters where WE need them.

[Cyrano]

24. People haven't been standing in line four to six hours to vote for Bush.

Ummm, Jeb, the bullshit is ooozing out of your ears.

Oh, one more thing, Jeb. You're never going to be president. You're brother fucked up this country so badly, people wouldn't anymore vote for someone named Bush than they'd vote for someone named Adolf.

[Career Prole]

25. That's just how Jebbie "whistles past the graveyard" now because all

the songs he knows he's not allowed to whistle anymore.
Turns out they were all written by Kerry supporters. :D

[hatrack]

26. As usual, JEB! is full of SHIT!

I mean, come on . . . heavy turnout benefits Pukes? I don't think so, and Senor Wences agrees - heavy turnout "S'OK" for Dems!!

[Thrill]

27. Yeah I heard him say that on Rush

People don't turnout big to keep the status quo. People are energized for Change. Wake UP. Even a two yr old can understand that

[jrthin]

28. And...he said that

with a straight face?

[Confident]

30. Cross your fingers - Jeb Bush crushed Bill McBride (Dem

challenger) in 2002 FL governors' race

Moral of story - GOTV!

[TimeToGo]

38. Yes well

That has me worried because McBride was doing much better in the polls than he ended up with. I still smell a rat.

[Orangepeel]

51. not really. his numbers faded the last week.

and Democratic turnout in 2002 was awful, IIRC.

[nadinbrzezinski]

31. What is Jeb smoking?

That is some good shit man... isn't drug abuse ilegal?

[BootinUp]

32. Here's current registered voter stats

R: 3,892,492
D: 4,261,249

Pretty close

http://election.dos.state.fl.us/voterreg/pdf/2004/2004genParty.pdf

[alcuno]

33. Jeb fails to mention the number of new voters registering as independents.

Jeb is a thief.

[DELUSIONAL]

34. People don't wait 4 hrs or more in line to preserve the status quo",

Randi Rhodes quote from today.

[shivaji]

44. But an argument could be made that sheeple are afraid for

their security from terror and * has sold them on the idea
that only he can save their kids from terror.

[daa]

35. In your dreams Jeb eom

[greekspeak]

37. Blech...I live in JEB's zipcode and he stinks the whole town up

PEEEWWW! Must be all those rotten, fetid lies.

[Cush]

39. CBS just said the new registrations in FL favor the Dems

[DireStrike]

41. This is the setup to let him steal it.

"In fact, I'm confident that every last Floridian will vote for my brother."

(note: he didn't actually say that.)

[Shopaholic]

42. Sounds like he's trying to do some spin

that they can throw out there like fertilizier when they try to steal this one too in Florida.

[spanone]

43. Funny, I've always heard the opposite.

[chimp chump]

46. I call bullshit...

...on the Jebster.

Most of us who have followed politics for decades can recall the dozens of times we heard that Republicans do better during bad weather because it tends to keep frail people like the elderly at home instead of turning out to vote for Democrats.

The conventional wisdom has *always* held that heavy turnout favors Democrats. And I haven't heard any political observer maintain anything else in recent years.

But let's move beyond that to this voter registration. If Bush is such a popular security president, then why is registration about even between the major parties? And why haven't the new independents broken toward registering GOP? After all, Bush is their savior, right?

Jeb is telling whoppers. Probably to salvage his own political future in Florida.

[drscm]

47. Good. Let all the other repugs stay home because they believe

that they are ahead.

[AntiFascist]

48. Jeb cosigned PNAC....

he'll stoop to any depth!

[Orangepeel]

50. Snort. What else is he going to say?

it's all bluster.

If Jeb's lips are moving, he's lying.

[Medium Baby Jesus]

52. Saw a funny bumper sticker in Florida today

"It's not over till little brother counts the votes" On second thought, It's not so funny.

[SammyWinstonJack]

53. Who would listen to that election stealing water head moran?

He is just trying to steal Fla again for his bro! Floridians are smarter than that!

[Triana]

56. Well, by the time he gets through...

...disenfranchising and intimidating as many voters as in 2000 (and more), to deliver the state once again to his brother...he could be proven "right".

[saltpoint]

58. Jeb may actually believe it helps the GOP.

And just wait to see how upset he's gonna be when his folks tell him that there isn't REALLY an Easter Bunny.

Betty Castor beats the crap out of the Very Nasty Mel Martinez and John & John triumph over the Chimp and Uncle Dickie.

[txindy]

59. And his older brother said there are WMD in Iraq

Is it genetic? :shrug:

[NNadir]

60. The little fuck is terrified.
