Tweety and his ilk
have launced a pre-emptive strike against the Dems for Prez. They're gonna put up Jeb I believe and this is the tactic if they do:

1. They will stipulate that W isn't too bright but 'won' the Presidency anyway over a 'weak' field. Things didn't go all that well, but thigns could have been much worse by any standard. They will actually concede that there were a lot of problems, but what the heck, it doesn't matter. Ask yourself, where were all of Nixon's 1972 supporters after the resignation...not composing odes to socialism, were they/ They were manufacturing plans to get Reagan elected along with the so-called Revolution. Same iwth this crowd, don't let their agreement with you fool you for an instant.

2. Jeb was 'supposed' to be the first of the sons to ascend but he lost that first election in FL, damaging all the plans, and thus the problems which occurred. Junior would have been second in line to 'finish' all the programs which Jeb began.

3. Dems are objects of ridicule in all events, so if you accept the manifest destiny of the Bush family, then it is only logical that Jeb be Prez.

4. A Constitutional Amendment will be proposed which states that only someone in the Bush family may be President.

5. People will laugh uproriously, but the movement will gain support, especially in the South. This combined with Diebold in certain states in the North and Bingo...during an off-year election, it carries hugely and we may look forward to 8 years each of Jenna, Barb, Jr., Laura, and the 'brown one', as GHWB described him..

think it can't happen? Don't be too sure...

1. Jeb's wife and kids would be a real drawback.

Several of them have police records.

12. Slippery slope my friend...
first it's a scrubbed drivers license, then it's a bunch of excuses for illegal behavior. They've been defending criminals well for years as long as they're Republicans. They would just say, "it doesn't matter", Tweety would say the same and then all others would follow. It's how it's worked for years now.

You tell me, Cheney shoots someone in the face, refuses to even talk with the cops. Would you get that treatment both from the police and from the media? I don't think so...

4. WHY?
Why do they insist on setting up an aristocracy ? Trying to install a * Monarchy of keeping an office in the hands of ONE family, that has thus far proved INCAPABLE of leading ?

5. Becuase President Eisenhower
said they would.

They don't have to lead. Remember, the 'intellectual' sonservatives always used to say that you don't have to be bright or charismatic to run a country, you just have to do it to THEIR liking. As long as they can BS the sheeple, to make them think that Dems are incompetent utterly and totally, this is where we're going.

6. The Bushes are not aristocracy; there is not an ounce of
noblesse oblige in any of them. They are just rich white trash.

11. I love Spongebob.
So are you telling us that Spongebob would be the ideal vehicle to air our political messages?
