Loser 41 Throws Jeb Into 2012 Presidential Circle
The Mayan Calendar Will Be Correct If This Holds True!

<a href="http://news.aol.com/article/jeb-bush-for-president-dad-hopes-so/292786">

"When asked if he was serious, he said: "Or maybe senator. Whatever. Yes, I would. I mean, right now is probably a bad time, because we've had enough Bushes in there. But no, I would. And I think he's as qualified and able as anyone I know on the political scene. Now, you've got to discount that. He's my son."

Yarg. If this happens it will be national suicide. 3 Bushes in under 20 years. Spare Me, please.

1. their original plan
was for Jeb to run for President in 2000. But that plan was changed when Jeb lost in Florida the same dubya won in Texas.

5. Yes indeed.
I really think both parents were appalled at how it all ended up. And that's saying something.

3. Gee, it would be so NEAT to have Jeb in the White House!!!
:sarcasm:

Imagine that First Family....

Not one, but TWO sons AND a daughter...all with multiple police records!!!

A First Lady who got caught cheating on her Customs Form and was fined by the Federal Government!!

And that's before we even get to old Jebbie!!!

I mean, really...it really would be a den of thieves and criminals...with DOCUMENTATION!!!

4. May I direct your attention to the current state of Florida?
Do people in the other 49 states look to Florida and think "Damn, I wish the whole COUNTRY could be like that"? He's gone now, but the damage he did will be with us for some time.

6. Pardon My Ignorance
But what exactly is going on down there? I saw Key West, Miami, LaCrosse, Alachua, Gainesville, St. Augustine just a couple of weeks ago. Granted the middle parts of the state were absolutely poverty ridden, but the touristy places seemed ok, I guess.

8. 4 Years *Could* Change That
Look at Bill Clinton, Obama, etc. They weren't even on the proverbial radar 4 years out.

9. Time always changes everything.
I was surprised even 31% said they would vote for him, given the performance of his brother. Guess I shouldn't have been.

10. The entire Bush family should be barred from public office and cursed unto the seventh generation.
Yeah. All of them. Poppy, W, Jeb, Neil, Babs, Jenna & Barbara, and all their relatives & descendants.

That entire family is a pit of vipers.

14. Why not? His economy is doing just fine!
He has no idea how people are suffering and doesn't care. He and his have no problems at all.

16. Even the nutcases at Freak Republic are giving this one a hearty "Hell no!'
much to my surprise, even they've had enough of the House of Bush

(granted no one in the GOP had any problem with his bungling until 2006. It was only when they lost Congress that he became "not a conservative." Before that, he was their guy 10000%, and damn anyone who disagreed with him slightly -just ask the Dixie Chicks)

18. "He's as qualified and able as anyone I know on the political scene."
With a VP like Cheney, a guru like Rove and a Double Loser dad like 41--you can almost understand why 43s old lady is a walking pharmaceutical.

21. Someone put the old spook out to pasture . . . PLEASE.
Another Bewsh in the White House would mean the end of this country . . . especially an even dumber Nazi than the worst president this country has ever seen (and yes, I HAVE heard of Warren Harding and James Buchanan). Hell, it's going to take a decade or two to recover from this dickhead's rule. Yet America tends to mistake outright obliviousness as a "noble", "rebellious" or "steadfast" quality in a political family all too often, and that's sad.

Remember that 56 million people thought it would be a good idea to have the tabloid-ready likes of Sarah Palin one sudden death away from the White House.

Remember that America put an unqualified and callous dry drunk frat boy in the White House. Twice. Yes, it was stolen each time. But it should not have been close enough to steal, and that's a problem.

Yes. We ARE that stupid.
