Jeb Bush Quietly Lays Presidential Campaign Groundwork - GoFuckYourself.com

I think the last POTUS, a functionally illiterate, warmongering, dry drunk of a man, ruined the Bush name. But who knows?

Jeb Bush Quietly Lays Campaign Groundwork Through Foundation
?The chatter is he's up to something,? says one Florida operative.

Quote:

If Jeb Bush decides to convert his media tour into a presidential bid in a couple years, he won't have to look far for a campaign staff: The well-funded education foundation he runs out his office in a Miami hotel is stacked with former political operatives, a large communications team, and a rapidly growing staff whose work stretches into 40 states.

It is common practice for undeclared presidential candidates to build a campaign infrastructure under the guise of a political action committee, but Bush appears to be laying the groundwork for a potential campaign through his foundation, multiple Florida political strategists told BuzzFeed.

"The chatter is he's up to something," said Florida Democratic operative Christian Ulvert. "He has a robust staff and has positioned himself on policy issues. You can safely say his eyes are focused on some form of higher office."

"I think you look at history and get a good indictor of that after [his firs gubernatorial race in 1994] when he lost he kept his campaign staff together. He has a historical precedent for being prepared and I think he's still doing that," added Sarasota-based Republican strategist Jamie Miller.

Though people close to Bush stressed that he has not yet decided whether to pursue the presidency in 2016, the former Florida governor hasn't been shy about keeping the speculation alive. Asked on the Today show Monday whether he would rule out a run, he replied, "I won't, but I won't declare it today either."

I dunno, Americans are pretty stupid. That is exactly the sort of nonsense they would fall for again, and then again 4 years later. By the time Obama is out of office they are going to be BEGGING for a Republican, thinking he will somehow fix it all. Why not another Bush? Dummies. You get the government you deserve.

crockett · 03-05-2013, 03:25 PM

I would never trust the guy but out of the three, himself and the two Georges. Jeb would have been better than the other two monkeys.

2MuchMark · 03-05-2013, 03:28 PM

Lol he can try but he won't get far. The tea party republicans (they are one in the same now) will only listened to the biggest liar or biggest dope, or both. And I'm willing to bet that the other potential nominees will include at least 2 of the past bunch of morons.

If Clinton wins, Jeb might get the Republican nomination in 2020.

like you said?

so the 'last POTUS' is the 'current POTUS'?

does that mean Obama is the 43rd AND 44th presidents? cause that's the only way your post makes sense

I still can't get my head around that one.

Then, as if that wasn't bad enough, this same Governor turns down a federal offer to fully fund the construction of high speed rail between Tampa and Orlando.

Webmaster Advertising · 03-05-2013, 05:16 PM

I'd vote for Jeb, he's intelligent, speaks multiple languages, caters to every ethnic group and knows how to run a successful (profitable) business... Other than him being Republican, there's not much to dislike about him when looking at what would be good for the country.

kane · 03-05-2013, 05:39 PM

Five or six years ago I would have said he has no chance, but after the last couple of elections I have changed my mind. He could win. There is a large segment of the population that will vote for him simply because he has an R next to his name (the same goes for those who will vote for anyone with a D) and with the broken and outdated electoral college still in place he is likely guaranteed to a win enough states to get around 180-190 electoral votes with no effort. The difference will be in the battleground states. In the last two elections Obama has won nearly all of the battleground states so it looked like he won big, but in reality the popular vote numbers were reasonably close. If Jeb wins Florida and can take away a few others he could be right there in the race.

The public has shown time and again (especially with republican voters, although democrats do it as well, just not as blatantly) that you can repackage the same shit and make the same promises that you have made for 30 years and still not followed through with and they will vote for it.

Robbie · 03-05-2013, 05:43 PM

I'm thinking that it doesn't really matter how bad Obama fucks up OR who the Republicans put up to run....

Hillary is going to be the next President (mostly because of Bill's popularity).

The term "dry drunk" is a term without foundation in either science or fact, a term invented by an organization which relies on a Miracle Cure to treat drinking problems.

http://www.orange-papers.org/orange-drydrunk.html

" The Twelve Steps were, right from the very start, intended to start a new religion, to give the followers "vital spiritual experiences" and to turn the followers into religious fanatics ? "religiomaniacs". Bill Wilson believed that religious fanaticism was the only answer for alcoholism.

But what if you disagree with that message? What if you would prefer to keep the religious beliefs you already have? What if you choose to not believe in the Twelve Steps, and, since they are supposedly only a suggestion, you freely choose to not do the "suggestions"? What if you just want to quit drinking, without becoming a religious convert?

Well, you can still join A.A., because the only official requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking, but you won't really be a full-fledged member. The hard-core true believers have a deprecating name for such members: "One-steppers". People who only practice the first step, admitting that they have lost control of their drinking. People who want to quit drinking, and regain control of their lives, but without all of the neurotic wallowing in guilt and grovelling before God that the other eleven steps entail. The true believers will tell you that you can't do that: you have to practice all twelve steps all of the time, or you will relapse."

But the A.A. true believers don't even ask about such differences, they just automatically proclaim that anyone who doesn't drink, and who also doesn't attend A.A. meetings, is "only abstaining", while someone who is attending A.A. meetings and "doing the Steps" is of course "in recovery," whether they are actually working on any other issues or not.

And the dogmatic believers will proclaim that the "abstainer" is not really enjoying a period of "sobriety", he is "only dry". To accomplish this twist in logic, they bombastically redefine the word "sobriety" as:

SOBRIETY: A special state of Grace gained by working the Steps and maintaining absolute abstinence. It is characterized by feelings of Serenity and Gratitude. It is a state of living according to God's will, not one's own. It is sanity.

Even the word "sanity" is redefined there, as Frank Buchman's sin-free, "surrendered-to-God" (or surrendered-to-Frank), state of living ? spending one's life "doing the will of God", as defined by the cult, rather than "doing one's own will."

" Likewise, the true believers will say that the "abstainer" is a "dry drunk." "Dry drunk" is yet another imaginary disease invented by Alcoholics Anonymous. The term originally referred to a rather rare condition that some people have during the first months of recovery from alcohol abuse ? they stumble around in an uncoordinated manner as if they are drunk, even though they are 100% sober. But A.A. has turned it into a slur, which is supposed to mean that someone is thinking and acting like a drunk man, displaying all of the objectionable characteristics of an obnoxious drunk, even though he is sober. And supposedly, all sober men who won't do the Twelve Steps will suffer from that condition, and will also become bitterly unhappy as well...

If an addict drops out of the Twelve Step system but remains totally abstinate from chemicals, he is said to be a "dry drunk." He is not sober because sobriety requires the ongoing practice of Twelve Stepping. Some also refer to the state of being a dry drunk as "white knuckle sobriety" and believe that such a person is a veritable walking time bomb, ready to descend with no warning precipitously into orgies of drunken oblivion unless he returns to practicing Twelve Stepdom.

The Useful Lie, by William L. Playfair, M.D. "

If Hillary runs she will be very hard to beat. Right now the demographics are skewing democrat so just about any democrat will have an advantage unless the republicans can find someone to close that gap, but her popularity matched with Bill and his popularity and his ability to campaign like no other could make her very one hell of a candidate.

By the time Hillbillary has a chance to run, Obama will have fucked up things so bad that she might well be run out of the country!

We will have to wait and see about that. Right now things are not good yet when you look at the polls most people blame the republicans for the problems so if three years from now things are still bad Obama might be able to pass the blame off onto the republicans and leave her unscathed. Also, she was sec. state, she had nothing to do with economic policies so she could run saying that her ideas from 8 years ago were never used and they will still work. She has plenty of ways to distance herself from Obama.

Of course, if things turn around some and Obama is popular he is another positive she will have in her corner.

Does his 24 hour flip flop on immigration have anything to do with this?

No one is ever going to vote a Bush into the white house again. Not even Republicans. What is it with these fuckers? Does everyone in the family have to take their turn as president?

Agreed. She'd be very hard to beat. She's also very ambitious - you KNOW she wants to be the first female prez. I think she's gonna run.
