jeb, neil & dorothy bush PERSONALLY backing righteous romney for president
Edited on Sun May-13-07 07:51 AM by Philosoraptor

former Florida Gov. jeb bush, has steered his allies to mitt romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, who is seen by some Republicans as the best combination of electability and conservatism. Another of the president's brothers, neil, and his sister dorothy have directly helped romney raise money.
This is the first time in five decades that neither the sitting president nor vice president is seeking the White House. The last time that occurred was 1952 when Dwight Eisenhower, a Republican war hero, defeated Democratic Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois.
Those close to bush are deeply concerned with protecting the president's legacy, and they want the next president to be someone who will pursue bush's agenda, especially in prosecuting the Iraq war.
But they also want to avoid backing the wrong candidate — and they don't want to back anyone too early.
--------------------

I just heard Craig Crawford confirm this on cspan, saying the bush's want romney to win because he is most like the bush's.

1. "...most like the Bushs." RETCH. America cannot bear another such insult.
Edited on Sun May-13-07 07:51 AM by SpiralHawk
No honor, no integrity...the Bush Family Evil Empire has brought vast shame upon America by funding Hitler and the Nazis (Prexcott Bush), by lying TWICE to start two Nation Building invasions into Iraq (Poppy and Commander AWOL), by failing and lying about 9/11, and then installing a Cabal of Corrupt Cronies to steal from the American people.

We don't need no steenkin Bush clones.

3. When you examine the role of the Mormons in foreign countries
these days, this does not seem so strange.

4. Mitt Romney is the ONLY person in the 08 race so far who is
buying prime TV time around here already. I've seen about 20 Mitt Romney ads so far. I think the BIG PUSH is on and the BIG MONEY is behind sellig this lying liar. This dog might not REALLY hunt, but the Bush Crime Cartel has been able to turn a couple of assholes into pResidents so far with all that loot. I think Mitt Romney is the biggest GOP threat so far.

5. Likewise
the neoconservatives are supporting him, because there have been discussions that place Newt Gingrich on the "short list" of those Mitt will consider for the VP position. This is not a joke. The necroconservatives know that the OVP has become a seat of power with little congressional oversight.

7. Newt Gingrich Is NOT The VP
Jeb Bush is the one they want to be VP. Jeb left office (FL - Gov) with high approval ratings (don't ask me how).

They'll consider Jeb because they would hope his high approval ratings in Florida may help capture the state's 27 electoral votes which have proven so pivotal in the past two elections.

12. No one is the VP.
However, the neoconservatives are not pushing for Jeb to be the VP should Mitt be the candidate.

17. Or a "deal" Romney/Jeb and Romny "resigns" after 2 years
his wife has MS.. he could use her as an excuse, and we get president Jebthro..and probably before Poopy &Bar depart this earth..so they can "break the record" history-wise.

Romney still gets his recognition and Jebthro probably pick Newtie-patootie as his veep:puk:

13. more importantly, he has the backing of Pat Robertson
Bill Moyer's journal showed Mitt and Robertson engaged in deep and passionate kisses on friday night (among other things).
