One More Time: Bush 3?

[Frank Booth]

Source: New York Times

You may think you’ve seen the last of the Bushes in the White House, but the Bush family seems to have other ideas.

Former President George H. W. Bush said today that he would like to see another Bush in the Oval Office.

Speaking on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, Mr. Bush said he thought his son Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, should run for the Senate when Mel Martinez vacates the seat in Florida in 2010 — if he wants to.

He then added, “I’d like to see him run for president some day.”

Something to look forward to.

1. Do you thin that Jeb knows the truth about his last name?..Well? nt

[YOY]

2. FUCK NO.

n/t

[47of74]

3. You said it.

[Warpy]

4. Yeah, and I'd like to have enough money

to dedicate to destroying that family's ability to do anything but run a car wash.

If wishes were horses...

[Bluzmann57]

15. Not a car wash

I certainly don't want them washing my car.

[Hawkeye-X]

35. See my post below..

[Frank Booth]

16. Just make sure you don't bring your car there.

I'm sure they'd mess it up somehow.

[ixion]

5. oh hell no...

no Bush should ever hold a position of power in this country ever again.

[azmouse]

6. The idiot son can want it but he ain't gettin' it.

Nobody, not even Reps, would want another boosh in the WH after the idiot destroyed their party.


Had to laugh at the local Faux news channel last night when they showed a group of people in DC thanking boosh for the last 8 years... a LARGE crowd... must have been all of 10 people. What idiots.... :eyes:

[peace frog]

7. Not so fast

Don't forget who we are dealing with, folks. I fully expect Jeb to be elected Senator from Florida in 2010 (he has no competition of any note, and we know the Bush dynasty's history of manipulating elections). From his Senate seat he can plot his path to the presidency with all the servile RW assistance he could ever want. Don't think it can't happen or you will be sorely mistaken.

[acmavm]

9. People need to watch this bunch closely. I never thought we'd ever see

another bush** in the White House after the complete failure of his father's one term fiasco.

Ignore this family at your (OUR) peril.

[Auggie]

10. People forget. They get complacent. Lazy. Vote by pattern or celebrity.

[1monster]

31. Please, God, NO. Reqested by a Florididan who has seen how badly he

screwed up this state in every way he could...

[Patchuli]

33. I think it could

if the bad taste of W leaves the mouths of the voters but, I doubt it. We just need to make sure they never get another chance at the WH.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. Three won't be enough anyway. After Jeb, they'll have George P. in the wings.

[Bluzmann57]

11. NO

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! And in case anyone doesn't get the message, NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO and FUCK NO!

[totodeinhere]

12. You would think that after Shrub did so much damage Jeb wouldn't have a chance.

But, I never underestimate the stupidity of the American electorate, and they can have a very short political memory. And remember, if Jeb ran for prez eight years from now in 2016, in political terms eight years is like an eternity. Who knows what the state of the country will be then, and what type of political mood the electorate might be in? After all, politics is cyclical. So I would not automatically write off Jeb.

[madmom]

13. Not as long as I have a breathe left will I let people around me forget the b*sh years!

[onehandle]

14. God, I hope so.

If we elected another Bush I could continue to be able to walk down the street and be sure that I am smarter than the majority of people I see.

[RedSock]

17. i hear the voting machines like him ....

when a country has a broken-beyond-repair election "system", anything is possible.

... and if you don't have fair elections, do you have a democracy?

[sasquatch]

18. The Demographics won't allow Jeb to win anymore

[peace frog]

19. I respectfully disagree

See my message in another thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4763795&mesg_id=4763947

32. But aren't the boomers and batista loyalist that put him in office dying off though

[peace frog]

37. I'm a boomer and very much alive

and plan to be so for another 25 years along with most of my fellow boomers; your math is faulty. As for the Cuban loyalists, you may be sure they will vote for Jeb in droves when he runs for the Senate. Yes, he is that popular in this state.

[Wizard777]

20. Two words. Civil War! He can be President if the Republicans win.

But first the Republicans will have to find someone to fight their battles for them. They just like starting wars and counting the money they are making off it. That fighting part is beneath them. That's what democrats are for.

[yy4me]

21. BARF. Enough with them. Never more. n/t

[judesedit]

22. All Bush Nazis - back in your holes

Good Lord spare us from another one of those anywhere near state or federal government. Nothing but criminal activity, death and destruction in their wake. Truly pathetic human beings. The truth about all of them will be captured in history for the world to know...no matter what they do to try to alter it. Pitiful bunch.

[L0oniX]

23. Oh for fucks sake!

[whistle]

24. Let's put both Dubya and Pappy Bush on trial for war crimes and corruption

...and then see how willing Jeb is to run for high office. The Bush crime family needs to be exposed and prosecuted now

[Lorentz]

25. Maybe 2016 will be Kennedy (D) vs Bush (R)

Battle of the American Royalty.... It'd be interesting to see which side of history people would choose.

Fuck all of these Nazi war mongers!

[NBachers]

27. Jeb Bush WILL be a Senator from Florida

At this point, there's nobody who can beat him. Once he's in the Senate seat, and he'll have it for as long as he wants, the maneuvering will start for the presidency.

I don't like it, but there's no Democratic candidate in Florida who can go up against him and win.

Anybody got a more plausible scenario based in fact?

[The Backlash Cometh]

28. We were damned the second that George H. W. Bush drank that alien blood.

[Gore1FL]

29. Maybe he can get on the national scene in 2012 as Palin's running mate!

:rofl: :rofl:

[CatholicEdHead]

30. I thought George P Bush was being talked about in 2004 as a future option

[Hawkeye-X]

34. Amendment 26 needs to be enacted as follows:

There shall be NO family dynasties trying to take over the country. There shall be no direct descendant of George H.W. Bush or George W. Bush be allowed to attain any kind of office of the President, office of the Senator or office of the House. Furthermore, all direct descendants of the Bush Family Evil Empire (as known as BFEE) will remain in permanent abject poverty without any governmental assistance and they shall earn no more than $50 a week for the rest of their lives. All monies over $50 earned a week shall be paid back directly to the U.S. Treasury as repartition until the entire BFEE dies out or until the year of our Lord, 3000.

36. The Idiot didn't fall far did he ?

The Bush Legacy will last in Appalachia for at least ten thousand years. http://www.wisecountyissues.com We can't stand anymore of the prosperity on Main Street Appalachia.

38. uh-hem.....

“I’d like to see him run for president some day” really means "I'd like to see him steal the Presidency soon."
