Florida Senator Jeb Bush? They just won't go away.

[Cyrano]

Florida Republican Senator Mel Martinez will be stepping down in 2010. And Jeb Bush (among others) wants the job. Chances are, he'll probably get it.

Grandpa Prescott Bush, was a Connecticut senator, an enemy and hater of FDR and the "New Deal," and a Nazi sympathizer and supplier to Hitler's industrial machine until we got involved in WWII. (Check it out on Google.) For over 70 years now, three generations of the Bush family have turned greed, theft, and, most recently under W, war crimes, into an art form.

And as though the Bush Crime Family hasn't screwed us enough, brother Jeb now wants his turn at bat. This is a family that the mafia can only look upon with awe and jealousy.

Will we ever see a time when the Bush's just go the fuck away and leave us alone? It sure seems doubtful. After all, there's a whole new generation of them who are no doubt being trained on how to go about screwing everyone.

1. NO Jeb please.

is this the GOP regrouping??? You never know with these criminals.

[PCIntern]

2. ...and he ain't done yet...

wait until 2012 or 2016...does anyone REALLY think Palin's the "one"?

[bdamomma]

3. .....................

Bush/Palin or Palin/Bush, either way they are doomed.

[goforit]

14. Biologically speaking this is true.

[peace frog]

5. Hell, there's a whole younger generation of Bushies

just waiting to step into the wider world of the Bush crime family cartel, which unfortunately includes politics. They're like a nest of cockroaches you can't eradicate, so look for many future years of Bush family disasters-in-the-making.

[Cyrano]

6. You're right. They really are like roaches.

And they will probably be feeding off whatever life forms exist long after our species ceases to exist.

7. I do not like the idea of Stalin or Mao style purges

As many innocent people usually wind up getting killed, however, if there is one family I would love to see dangling like hams from a Gallows, it would be the Bush Family. Hang all the lot from George 1 on down the line, and dig up Prescott's body to join them! As for the younger generation, George P. (aka "the little brown one") is already helping the family, so throw him and the twins on the same bonfire!

8. They'll be back. They control election machinery.

9. It's not the Bush family. It's their puppetmasters, the Saudis.

13. no - Jeb has his little dirty fingers in lots of areas

particularly with real estate developers in Florida.

http://www.sptimes.com/State/92098/Make_The_Money_and_Ru.html


Shortly after arriving in Miami, Jeb was hired by Cuban-American developer Armando Codina to work at his Miami development company as an agent leasing office space. A couple of years later, Jeb and Codina became business partners, and in 1985 they purchased an office building in a deal partly financed by a savings and loan that later failed.

The $4.56 million loan, from Broward Federal Savings in Sunrise, Florida, was granted in such a way that neither Codina's nor Bush's name appeared on the loan papers as the borrowers. A third man, J. Edward Houston, borrowed the $4.56 million from Broward and then re-lent it to the Bush partnership. When federal regulators closed Broward Savings in 1988, they found the loan, which had been secured by the Bush partnership, in default.

As Jeb's father was finishing his second term as vice-president and running for the presidency, federal regulators had two options: to get Jeb Bush and his partner to repay the loan, or to foreclose on their office building. But regulators came up with a third solution. After reappraising the building, regulators decided it wasn't worth as much as was owed for it. The regulators reduced the amount owed by Bush and his partner from $4.56 million to just $500,000. The pair paid that amount and were allowed to keep their office building. Taxpayers picked up the tab for the unpaid $4 million.

10. contact Gov Crist - I just did - let him know we do not need another

bush in Florida.

[e-mail]

[graywarrior]

11. Their egos are astounding

After the fucking mess Jr caused over the last 8 years, Jeb really thinks we want to deal with a Bush again

[lpbk2713]

12. Noelle will need a new sign ...

[goforit]

15. The Mafia has to stay in control.

[DavidDvorkin]

16. What's the word on likely Democratic candidates?

And how any of them would do against Jeb?

[Cyrano]

17. Haven't heard from any Dems yet.

But Charlie Christ's first term as governor will be up and he could very well be challenging Jeb in the Rethug primary. My only advice to Christ is not to fly in small planes.

[DavidDvorkin]

18. I wonder if Crist would get engaged again?

He didn't bother with that for the gubernatorial race, but if he were running against a Bush, he might fear some Rovian personal attacks.

[csziggy]

19. Crist is getting married soon, so maybe his wife will have their first child for the occasion

[DavidDvorkin]

21. Oh? I thought he had called the engagement off

After he was passed over the the Republican v.p. position. My mistake.

[csziggy]

27. Not as of Nov. 23 - St. Pete Times had a story about the wedding guest list

Guest list for Crist wedding is hush-hush

By Mary Jane Park, Times Staff Writer
In print: Sunday, November 23, 2008

Mayor Rick Baker? Unclear.

The man who trims Charlie Crist's hair? Probably not.

For all the hubbub about the governor's marriage to Carole Rome, much of the chatter is about what is not known — especially, who's going to the wedding, and who's not.

The Dec. 12 nuptials will take place at First United Methodist Church, where the governor and his family have worshiped for years. The ceremony is black-tie optional, with a reception afterward at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort.

Invitations began arriving last week. They are cream and pale pink, printed in Copperplate script, and sealed with a capital "C" affixed to a satin ribbon.

An enclosure card reads: "No gifts please, due to Florida law." The governor is required to report presents thought to be worth more than $100, except those from family members.

Beyond that, we know that Rome recently purchased her wedding dress in New York. We know that Crist's father, Dr. Charles Crist Sr., will be best man. And we know that Rome's attendants will be her daughters, Skylar and Jessica, and her sister, Michele Oumano Powell.

20. They're like an infestation of ants:

No matter how hard you try, they grow more demon spawn and just keep comin' back to pester you.

[Cleita]

22. Looks like the PNAC are already moving their pieces into place for 2012.

Rumor has it that Senator Mel Martinez got his orders to step down, so Jeb can step in. Jeb is a charter member of the PNAC. Isn't it time for Floridians to investigate him and charge him with one of many crimes he is rumored to be involved in like drug dealing? Or are we going to let this whole criminal, war hawk organization come back again? The whole Bush administration should have been impeached and charged with crimes all the way back to the stolen Florida election, of which Jeb was a big part along with his SOS patsy Katherine Harris. See what happens when you reward criminals? They think that they can come back after Barrack Obama cleans up their mess so they can steal more and create more wars that are good for their business.

[spanone]

23. he. will. run. for. president.

they know 4 years are not near enough to clear the bu$hit....they will pounce in 2012

[peace frog]

24. No question about it

Jeb will run for president, but I think 2016 may be his year. Obama will be re-elected in 2012 if he is able to haul this nation at least partially out of the quagmire we've sunk into thanks to Bush43. In that event, Jeb will cool his heels in the Senate for the next four years...and pounce in 2016.

[marmar]

25. Ugh.....Why did the Bushes keep breeding and breeding?

Like rats on fertility drugs.....

:puke:

[Canuckistanian]

26. Governor to Senator? Isn't that a step DOWN?

I thought the Bushes always failed UPWARDS.

[peace frog]

28. Jeb would be more than willing

to take a step back in the Senate, with an eye to capturing a future jackpot: POTUS in 2016.

[Cyrano]

29. I find it incredible that the majority of Americans would vote for another Bush

Nonetheless, "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people." (Google H.L. Mencken for that quote.)

So I guess the "master plan" is to let Obama refill the vaults with treasure and then let another Bush pull off another historic heist.

Perhaps I'm a fool, but I just can't see our country allowing this to happen, or to ever again let a member of the Bush Crime Family anywhere near the levers of power.

Then again, Americans did elect St. Ronnie (twice) and George W. (twice). Yeah, I know that FL was stolen in 2000 and Ohio was stolen in 2004.

I only hope that future historians remember to mention Bush's body count from hurricanes Katrina and Ike. (Yes, in case you didn't know it, there are still bodies floating around in Galveston as a result of this year's hurricane Ike.)
