Jeb Bush leaves open White House bid
Jeb Bush leaves open White House bid

Nov 13, 2005 — BERLIN (Reuters) - Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the brother of U.S. President George W. Bush, ruled out running for president in 2008 but left open the possibility of a subsequent bid in an interview with a German magazine published on Sunday.

Jeb Bush, who is scheduled to visit Germany this week, told Focus weekly he had not thought much about running for the office held by his father and older brother except to rule out the next election at the end of George W. Bush's second term.

"You should never say never. But for the 2008 election, my answer is definitely no," he said, in comments translated into German by the magazine.

Asked whether his answer meant a later challenge was possible, he said: "Let's say there's a vague chance."

4. Gee, kind of like EVERY FREAKING thing about the BUSH Crime Family
Everything is "vague"

Like their connections to evil and shadowy figures.
Like their connection to ill gotten fortunes.
Like their family history.
Like their propensity to always be in town when a tragedy occurs.
Like their ability to be around when large sums of money "vanish".
Like their connection with the "Christian right".
Like their ability to win elections when there seems to be little or no chance.
Like their ability to be around when someone or something gets "swift-boated".

You know what?

FUCK THE ENTIRE BUSH FAMILY.

Pee-Wee Herman, with his dick in his hand on "Meet the Press" has a better chance of winning another election than ANYONE from this EVIL franchise.
And that's what they are a FRANCHISE, not a family.

MAY THEY ALL ROT IN HELL.

whew...I feel better now.

5.  I hope Jeb seeks and gets the nomination since
he is much more beatable than McCain.

6. Old story. New again.
I love how the media likes to recycle "news" just because it's said in a different country.

If the prick is standing in Tanzania in three months and says these same words, expect a wire service to serve them to us as if they'd never been said.

7. Oh, please, Jeb, please. Another Bush in the White House
is just what America, to say nothing of the world, needs.

Yeah. Sure.

Get lost, freak!

And take your ugly crime family with you.

8. Here's his campaign in a nutshell:
I'm a uniter not a divider. We need to cut taxes for the rich, because it will help everybody else. Iraq/Terrorism...

9. It can happen since we do not have free elections or free press.
Would not surprise me at all if he is the next dictator.

10. No. Please, no. I think McCain will fight back this time.
But boy, wouldn't that be fun to watch. At least until they install King Bush III.

makes the presidency seem like a family business
Isn't that what the Kennedys are striving for?

Jeb is quite a bit more conservative than GW. And he likes to pander to the conservative base, too.
