You have the hate running in your veins. Two Bush Presidents gave us four endless wars, we do not need two more from you. Go away.

Notice one of the first things they implemented was the destruction of education... so that the people wouldn't be smart enough to see the writing on the wall with their own blood. It's not completely working out as they pictured it... yet. They managed to convince a few teabagger fools but the rest of us aren't going quietly into the night so I guess they feel the need for another "phase" of bu$hness to fix that problem.

Jeb Bush and his Bro "Turd Blossom for Brains", .. belong in a Federal PRISON! Along with Darth Cheney. Not making headlines.
The torture is still going on, the secret rendition and murder by drone is growing.
And where is Obama on this? Playing Golf or sucking up to the Rethuglicans.
Just heard on Reuters News Radio....."Pres Obama is inviting key Republicans to a dinner (somewhere or other )to make a budget deal.
Oh great. I hope to GOD that Obama does not bargain away our Social Security and Medicare and get nothing in return.. I've got this awful sick empty feeling in my stomach....

(15,435 posts)Problem is, Jebby sorta/kinda has been doing "behind the scenes" running of this state for a long time. Rick Scott spouting off like he's a "mod" is just an act, when in fact the state is GOVERNED by REPUKES, and they get to vote against so much of what he putting out there! And he knows it, so don't be fooled by "the Alien!"
I like "where" I live, just HATE the politics here. My husband is a native & there once was a time when this state was mostly blue, or maybe dark purple at least. Not in a long time though!
Bob Graham is still a person who stood for something, voted against the Iraq War & then threw in the towel! Miss him so much, even though he was probably more moderate than I, still he did STAND his ground! And way, way back when the seniors had a real friend in (oh my brain fart) I was quite young, but he was elderly & very feisty!
Someone here must know who I'm talking about. HELP!! Sorry, I could erase the comment, but now I want to know myself.

The Litter Box Dynasty
Stories are all over the media about the Bush Dynasty.. No doubt they are craftily placed there by Carl Rove or some other Bush flunkie, so that they can be oh so modestly discounted by the Bush family itself..
The Camelot Mystique of the JFK presidency was Americas longing for what could never be..
Dynasties by their very nature span generations , and feature familial consistency.. The Kennedy family is attractive, outgoing, and civic minded ..They have always been this way.. The fact that so many of them have met a tragic end, and at a young age only serves to give them mythic proportions..
No one will ever know how the Camelot myth would have turned out if JFK had not been assassinated.. Maybe he would have stumbled and the Viet Nam war could have ruined HIS presidency.. Maybe not.. What the people saw was a vigorous, outgoing, intelligent man in his prime, with a drop-dead gorgeous young wife.. They had everything.. Fame , fortune, good looks, breeding, culture, darling toddlers and a whole lifetime ahead of them.
John F. Kennedy came from a family that valued service to country.. Joe Kennedy was a scoundrel ,and made his fortune from rum-running during prohibition , but the average people probably did not begrudge him his fortune.. They were able to party on because of him.. When WWII came along, HIS children served and died during their service.. He could have made one phone call and they could have played polo during WWII.. Even though GHW Bush has been declared a war hero for having his plane shot down, his war service pales by comparison. When Kennedy had his wartime crisis, he SAVED his shipmates, even though he was injured . Bush bailed out, and left his crew to perish..
Republicans have never had what it takes in the Dynasty Department.. The republican presidents in the modern era have all lacked the charisma to ever capture the imagination of the public..
Lets examine them:
Eisenhower, while a great wartime general, was a rather bland public figure.. He was elderly and ill when he became president and his son was middle aged by the time he entered the White House.. The country had no dynastic expectations of him.. We needed a Grandpa to make the bad dreams of WWII go away..
Nixon, was an aloof , paranoid, control freak.. His wife, Pat, was a quiet person by nature and never meshed with the public. Nixon went out of his way to nurture the image that they were plain folks, cloth coat folks... Dynasties do not spring from plain folk.. Larger-than-life, exciting, interesting people form the nucleus of dynasties.. The Nixon daughters, were ordinary girls, in a chaotic time. Though they may have secretly empathized with their peers, they could only toe the line that their father put out for them. They never really caught on with the public.. Of course, the female children of a leader are usually not held in as high regard as male heirs, so that may have had something to do with it..
Reagan was the ultimate central casting coup . He was an actor, first and foremost , and played the role of a lifetime. He was personable and friendly, but Mrs. Reagan, though loved by her intimate friends, was not a warm person. She personified the image of the person behind the person.. Though she wielded no actual power, it was obvious that Ronnie did her bidding.. Their children were nothing special , and the obvious disdain of the children left a lot of doubt as to the parenting skills of Ronnie & Mommie.. It was apparent that none of the Reagan children were capable of picking up the torch from their father...No Dynasty there...
Now we arrive at the Bush Dynasty.. At least part of the word suits them...the nasty part, that is..
George HW Bush entered the White House with a sense of entitlement, but lacked the charisma to make his subjects love him. His wife did not help him in that department either. Barbara may have looked like the sweet grandmotherly type, but it was obvious immediately, that she was a stern, humorless harridan .. There was always an unkind word to be said, when silence from her would have sufficed. The Bush children were grown and could not help soften the image of either.. Even when GHWB tried to use this grandchildren, he could not restrain himself from calling attention to the little brown ones.. His children USED his influence obtain wealth, at the expense of the public..
George W Bush blew into the White House like the F5 Texas Tornado that he is.. Spreading damage and destruction all around him. He came armed with a mousy compliant wife and non-existent family values to spare. The problem he had from day one, was that over half of the country did not believe he won fair & square.. Even in their dark little hearts, there have to be some republicans who know the truth, but refuse to admit it.. The Bush daughters show little evidence that they will mature into anything other than what they are now.... Spoiled, privileged children usually grow into spoiled privileged adults.. But, they are not a factor in the Dynasty .Dynasties favor male children..
The Bush lineage, is nothing to be proud of. The Walkers and the Bushes do go way back, but instead of rum-running, their background is rife with stock fraud, insider trading, and even doing business with the Nazis during WWII.. When it came time for his sons to serve in THEIR war, he bought them a pass.. Where Joe Kennedy sent his sons, and one daughter (Kathleen) to die and be injured, the Bush heirs would have none of it..
In fact MOST of the Bush lineage that the public hears about is manufactured, and re created for modern consumption.. The real turdlets of truth behind the dynasty they have created are still buried in the Bush Family Litter Box .. They have spent a lifetime covering up the vile stuff that each new Bush deposits .. They have delusions of grandeur, that Jeb will follow George W, and then after Jeb, will come one of the little brown ones, George P.Bush..
Only time will tell, and hopefully someday someone will have the courage to empty that Litter Box..
