Hardball, McKinnon, & Election 2008
How many of you saw White House advertising strategist Mark McKinnon on HARDBALL last night? The moderator sitting in for Chris Matthews asked McKinnon who he planned to work for in the 2008 election. He said he would support Senator McCain UNLESS Condi or JEB BUSH were to run. The moderator immediately began focusing on Condi, but McKinnon kept returning to JEB BUSH.

Believe me, I live in Florida, no American should want Jeb Bush in the White House. He has virtually distroyed Florida's infrastructure by privatizing & out-sourcing to his good buddies. As you might expect those buddies have done spectacularly poor work while pulling in big bucks. Sound familiar? Imagine 8 more years of robbery at the federal level.

If McKinnon is forcefully throwing that name out there NOW, you can expect that as soon as Jeb vacates (can't run again in 2006) the Governor's mansion in Florida there is going to be a full scale presidential campaign in place. This is a major threat. In Florida, knowing how incompetent he is, we used to laugh at the possibility he would even win re-election. Yet, he did. Now, we look at the more sober horror that he could move up. He is much more well spoken than the chimp, though less well educated. And, of course, Castro recently referred to him as bush's fat brother in Florida. However, he is quite the ladies man and has a long string of female followers.

How this man can run when he has NO FAMILY VALUES ... his progeny are even worse than the twins ... but somehow that family always gets a pass on that. In 2001, VANITY FAIR published an article that pretty much reported all that (up until that time) was known about Jeb in Tallahassee and around the state. Much of what they reported as "rumor" is known as fact locally. FIND THAT STORY AND READ IT.

And even this year one of his son's was again arrested. I personally feel very sorry for his pathetic drug-addicted daughter ... but let's face it, had she been poor and black, she'd be serving a long, long, long prison sentence. Instead she did "rehab" and was even treated gently when she sneaked drugs into the rehab facility.

If you don't live in Florida and don't know much about Jeb, last night's "performance" by McKinnon means you need to get onboard and INFORM yourself on every aspect of this treacherous man. If we don't start treating this as a potential reality, we could wake up in late January 2009 with yet another leech in the White House.

1. Yep, I watched it. I think that might have been a trial balloon.
Personally, I think Americans are TIRED of the Bush Dynasty name. I seriously doubt Jeb could win even the nomination because of that.

7. Taking action now ...
against Diebold and working for voting means & methods reform at STATE levels is a big key, I think, in putting up early roadblocks. If the cabal knows they don't have buddies running rigged elections in every state, it will take some of the fervor out of their ascension plans.

3. Hey Fire!!! Welcome to DU!!!
Now that you ruined my morning. :puke: :puke: :puke:

But, it's not your fault.
For the past few years we have heard Jebs (WTF kind of name is Jeb? isn't his real name John, which also happens to be my name which sickens me) bounced around.

Here is my take.

It's like Chris Rock said...

"You know how they say you should never say never? I'm saying NEVER".

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever will there be another Bush elected to office in this country.
NEVER.
Not even for dog catcher.

WTF are we a monarchy?
Where only a BUSH can be Pres-O-Dent?

I agree we have to keep an eye on him but only because he can help the next NAZI that wants to steal an election get elected.


PLEASE... WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THE BUSH DYNASTY.




Welcome to DU and have a great time here!!!

6. Thanks for the welcome ...
givemebackmycountry, I do think in the "never" category we also have to look at never say never that it couldn't happen. It is definatelly in the "take action NOW" category because there are quite a lot of ways this could happen. NASTY to think about. I share your reaction in "ruining" the morning ... I had the same dinner reaction when I was watching it last night. Though the name has been tossed around for years, last night was the first time a key booosh strategist has tossed it out to the public. Thrown it up? to the public?? Never underestimate that though sane people in Florida despise this jerk, there were enough of his cronies onboard to elect him twice.

Yes, they do think they are a dynasty and they do plan to stay on the throne. Personally, I'd like to see them get flushed.

4. I would love to see Jeb run.
He is by far the least electable.

5. Hope Skipos is right ...
You know that had always been my take on it ... that Jeb was unelectable ... but these boooshies are tight with Diebold. THAT needs to be taken care of and soon. As long as they control the method and means of voting, it doesn't matter how much Americans despise them.

Jeb's name is an acronym (now, isn't that special), and can't remember exactly what it stands for John Elias?? Bush maybe. I thing the "E" portion comes from Barbie's side of the family.
