The House of Bush shall rise again: Jeb Considering Senate Run
By: Pam On: Dec/2/08 - 4 Comments
Two sources close to Jeb Bush, including one who has spoken to the former Florida governor within the past few hours, say he is seriously considering a run for Senate now that incumbent Republican Mel Martinez has retired.
“He is receiving a lot of encouragement from both in and out of the state,” an longtime Bush adviser said tonight. “He is going to take his time and approach this very methodically.” Bush will weigh, according to this adviser, how a run would impact his family, his business, and whether the Senate would be the best platform for the causes he’d advocate — education, immigration, GOP solutions to health care and energy.

As a conservative Floridian who actually voted three times for Jeb (first time he lost in 94′to Lawton Chiles) for Governor, I can tell you that a run for Senator in 10′ might not be the best idea…
There is a lot of disarray here in the GOP due to Crist, from Tampa/St Pete, and Martinez, Orlando, not being able to deliver either area on election day for McCain…
A fresh face is needed.

Points to ponder…we know Obama broke the law with his fund raising. We also know that McCain chose not to fight Obama on anything, including the illegal funding..I am not so sure it wasn’t illegal votes that didn’t tip the scales..JMO

The scariest thing about this is the fact that, despite the harm they’ve done to our country and the civilized world, there are STILL people who believe the Bush crime family are direct descendants of god himself.
As a Floridian, I see every day the lasting ill effects of Jeb’s cronyism, secretiveness, and self-serving policies on the citizens of our state.
And, in true Bush fashion, Jeb recently stated in an interview that the GOP should consider creating a “shadow government”, designed to torpedo the unity and non-partisanship envisioned by the Obama administration.
Hopefully, past experience and minimal intelligence will be sufficient to dissuade Floridians from allowing the ‘House of Bush’ to exist after Jan 20. Hopefully, the Bushes will all retire to Paraguay as George W serves time at Leavenworth, awaiting his execution for treason and war crimes.
Oh well, one can dream, I suppose…

Never happen.
The Bushes are dead.
The final wave as GW steps onto that helicopter will be the day I say “don’t let the doorknob hit you in the arse”…
We’ve finally had enough of the Bush family’s unAmerican activities
