Just when you thought it was safe...More Bush
Edited on Wed Dec-03-08 09:25 AM by Armstead
It's like a bad movie. Just when you think the monster has been vanquished, it springs to life again..

In this case it's the Bush dynasty.


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/12/01/jeb-bush-gop-setting-up-a_n_147495.html

Marc Ambinder is reporting that Jeb Bush is considering a run for the Senate to replace the retiring Mel Martinez:

Two sources close to Jeb Bush, including one who has spoken to the former Florida governor within the past few hours, say he is seriously considering a run for Senate now that incumbent Republican Mel Martinez has retired.


"He is receiving a lot of encouragement from both in and out of the state," an longtime Bush adviser said tonight. "He is going to take his time and approach this very methodically." Bush will weigh, according to this adviser, how a run would impact his family, his business, and whether the Senate would be the best platform for the causes he'd advocate -- education, immigration, GOP solutions to health care and energy.

3. They're baaaack...It is as inevitable as death and taxes...
With all the "moderation" we are seeing from the Obama team, it looks like they are going to let the crimes of the Bush junta disappear into the memory hole. Which means we will see Jeb running in 2012 or 2016 and most likely gettting into the White House.

4. I hope Dubya's reign marks the end of America suffering under a Bush.
However, regardless of what Count Jebbula does, George P. is waiting in the wings. :scared: Perhaps the stain Dubya left on the Bush name is indelible, but only time will tell.

6. Jeb can try but his bro has fucked up the Name "Bush" so bad..it might be a waste of time/money
and Jeb is still considered complicit in the 2000 recount shit what with Cruella Moxie/Spunky....

Jeb will lose his ass.

The GOP have to restructure...new image, new philosophy, mew message...new players...
'
this will take time...about 20 to 30 years

The Odds suggest a demise of their Party...the GOP will whither on a vine....its roots slashed
