Carville: Jeb Bush will be GOP nominee ("the only person in America that can rally Republicans")
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/10/16/carville-jeb-bush-will-be-gop-nominee/

NEW YORK (CNN) — Democratic strategist and CNN analyst James Carville tossed out a provocative idea during a panel discussion on politics Tuesday.

At CNN's America Votes 2008 Breakfast, the chief architect of Bill Clinton's successful 1992 presidential run predicted that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will be the Republican nominee in 2008. Jeb is a younger brother of President Bush.

Carville bolstered his prediction, highlighting Jeb Bush's career: He was a successful governor of a large state, he enjoys the support of social conservatives, he speaks Spanish, and "he's somebody the party could rally around," Carville said.

"There is nobody in this field who can rally the Republican Party; he's the only person in America that can do it," he added.

4. I think the jury may still be out on whether he was "successful"
Maybe Carville would like to think he was but my opinion of Mr matalin is lower than whale shit right about now.

If he was nominated in 08 hillary Clinton would kick his ass all the back through Florida to whatever Northeastern state he came from.

Fuck him stupid Baby Huey bush and fuck carville too.

5. With all due respect to Mr Carville
Edited on Tue Oct-16-07 11:51 PM by liberaltrucker
The Bush name is personna non gratta(sp) in Repuke circles.
Not to mention human beings. Jimmy-Boy is political history.
I just wish he'd go the fuck away, along all with other DLCers.

:argh:

6. Yeah, ol' Jeb BUSH is just what the RW are clamouring for ...
Let's summarize, shall we, Jimmy?

At this moment, the GOP are howling like stuck pigs because BUSH got the country stuck in a quagmire in Iraq that now hangs around their necks like an albatross, BUSH's numbers are in the toilet (and have been for a good long while), BUSH's policies cost the Republicans the majority in BOTH houses in '06, there are now more registered Dems than Republicans (a change from the 50-50 split that existed just three years ago) thanks to BUSH, and to top it all off, BUSH just vetoed S-CHIP - an issue that the vast majority of voters are in favour of - one last kick in the ass of his own party as they head into the '08 elections.

And after all of that, what everyone really wants is another BUSH running for president.

The only way the Republicans would rejoice at hearing that Jeb BUSH was running for president would be if he was running as a Democrat.

Jesus Murphy.

7. I have said this all along
The GOP convention will deadlock and there will be such bad blood between the current gang of idiots that Jeb will be drafted as a compromise candidate.

15. I find your idea fascinating, in a snake charmer sort of way.
Convention? I was under the impression that both conventions occur long after the candidate is chosen, with the convention just the official announcement and a party for people to attarct attention.

8. He wants J Bush vs H Clinton so that Carville/Matalin are winners either way.
The 2 things that keep me from being ok with Clinton are Carville and McAuliffe-they are enthusiastic Democratic Party destroyers.

9. Jeb Bush? Another PNAC founding member? -- No way!
we cannot safely avoid the responsibilities of global leadership or the costs that are associated with its exercise. America has a vital role in maintaining peace and security in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. If we shirk our responsibilities, we invite challenges to our fundamental interests. The history of the 20th century should have taught us that it is important to shape circumstances before crises emerge, and to meet threats before they become dire. The history of this century should have taught us to embrace the cause of American leadership

12. PNAC means nothing to many voters.
Unfortunately.

Amazing... if I walked into the corner store right now and stole a can of soup I'd be locked up tonight.

But if you rape the country and destroy some, if not all of, of the things the United States of America stands for, eh... no big deal.

11. Carville is making a suggestion for a Repug win -- with the right machinery .... !!!!
Look, folks, you have to start thinking that we've had stolen elections since the JFK assassination . . . computers came in the late 1960's . . . see the Jim & Ken Collier investigatio -- VOTESCAM . .. there's a thread ....

or simply look it up on the internet -- you can read the BOOK on line.

So, is Carville saying to the Repugs, just pull it out with Jeb --
dance the dance, play the machines -- and poof! you win!!!

Granted this will be one of the hardest steals they'll ever have to pull --
but they have more votes on the Supremes now -- so who knows?

14. Oh Great ..Jeb and his capitalist mystic oriental warrior chang...
I couldn't make this shit up.

Last week, after “more than an hour of solemn ceremony” swearing in Rep. Marco Rubio (R-FL) as House speaker, Florida Governor Jeb Bush stepped to the podium to tell “a short story about ‘unleashing Chang,’ his ‘mystical warrior’ friend.”

Here are some of Bush’s words, “spoken before hundreds of lawmakers and politicians”:

“Chang is a mystical warrior. Chang is somebody who believes in conservative principles, believes in entrepreneurial capitalism, believes in moral values that underpin a free society.

“I rely on Chang with great regularity in my public life. He has been by my side and sometimes I let him down. But Chang, this mystical warrior, has never let me down.”

Bush then unsheathed a golden sword and gave it to Rubio as a gift.

‘’I'm going to bestow to you the sword of a great conservative warrior,'’ he said, as the crowd roared.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah I like Sekhmet a lot,and I do play with magical thinking,in the chaosphere especially when all other options equally suck or have run out and I still want another try .But this is where I differ from you Jeb, Sekhmet does not make my important decisions for me,Jeb.I take responsibility for those.And I am a certified crazy.
Oh the Irony.
