14. Jeb is in the background there.
Also, his daddy lost FL after he failed to respond to Andrew before his election, so * was extra attentive pre-November last year.

3. And his poll numbers will go up in...
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 12:45 PM by LaPera
the following days...The overwhelming guest on the televison news shows will be republicans and the spin will be, it was a natural disater and Bush is doing all he can...

We know it's bullshit, But how did Bush get an 80% plus approval rating during 9/11 while he did absolutely nothing, even ignored the warnings all he did was to pretend to be a leader made some silly tough speeches and people ate it up, the same sheep and want to believe they have a leader...Rove knows that...

Shit, Bush's approval already went up 5% (USA Today poll) today and he was out playing golf!!!

His poll numbers won't go up much, but enough to get him out ot his hole...focus off Iraq, reason why gas prices are so high, Rove treason, Cindy, Roberts nomination, etc...

10. Last year Bush had FEMA prepare in advance for the hurricanes in Florida.
Of course that was an election year in a key state and he also had his brother's political career to consider. In Bush's republican value system, the people of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana do not deserve comparable treatment.
