Do You Think That The Bush Family Wants Romney to Win?

Do you think that the Bush family (a.k.a. "The Lannisters&quot really want Romney to win the presidency? A Romney presidency pretty much ends Jeb's claim to the Iron Throne.

I think they'd settle for the destruction of Social Security, Medicaid, public education, unions, etc. After all, they and their one per cent supporters would still be cashing in.

They should be in jail. But have you noticed how all these politicans take care of each other and it doesn't matter what party they are a member of. The only exception seems to be Carter. He isn't loved by any of the former presidents. Wonder why? Maybe Carter was the only one who left office with his honor intact.

While most of the nation concentrates on the Presidential contest, the Rs will be purging voters and trying to shore up the TeaBaggers in Congress to keep their majority in the House and steal a few seats in the Senate. It seems to me they are trying to throw this election.

I think they know what a steaming pile of shit the family left and Romney will take it back to a bigger steaming pile of shit, if that's even possible.

Recall that in April he said he would consider being Mitt's running mate, but didn't expect a call, a smiling "fuck you" to Mitt which will harm Mitt when he selects someone else, and which will burnish Jeb's own reputation as The Great White Hope of 2016.
