Jeb could join fray for battle of the dynasties
Tony Allen-Mills



THE White House has been insisting for months that Jeb Bush, the governor of Florida and President George W Bush’s younger brother, will not run for president in 2008. But Republicans are beginning to wonder if he will become vice-president instead.
Washington was agog last week at reports that the governor, 52, may join forces with Senator John McCain, one of the frontrunners for the 2008 Republican nomination, in what could turn into a clash of political dynasties.



Senator Hillary Clinton has also set her sights on the White House. Senior Republican officials believe that widespread qualms about the Bush family’s stranglehold on American politics will be defused if the wife of former President Bill Clinton emerges as the Democratic party nominee.

“They can’t play the dynasty card against us with a Clinton on their ticket,” a Republican strategist claimed.

1. Not even close
A father and two sons is MORE of a Dynasty; BLOOD relatives.

Trolling the Freeper site I found most of them don't want this Dynasty either.

2. Bring it on!
After his latest Shiavo inquiry he is as Michael Shiavo says just a desperate housewife. Jeb is toast.

9. But if there were a McCain/Bush ticket
they would vote for them. They might not like it, but they'd do it. Do we think they'd vote Dem?

Just like if Clinton won the nomination, I wouldn't like it, but I'd vote for her.

This country is so divided right now. We are in dire need for a third party and the only way to get it running for real is to vote down. (first choice, second choice and then third).

Then we actually need to secure our vote.

We have 30 hours of work a day... ahead of us. So much to do.

3. No more Bushes!!!
They've fucked this country for 10 years. No more Bushes in any elected office, other than maybe president of cell block C at Leavenworth Federal Prison.

8. More than 10 years
Remember this cr@p started when Poppy's pa Prescott Bush, was in Congress, and that goes back over 50 years ago!! Enough is enough. This is a third generation of eff ups. We don't want the 4th generation of Bushes to even think there is a chance for them to be in power.

19. Aside from the fact that she's never ran, or said that she's running
for the Presidency, or raised any money to do so, or even formed an exploratory committee to see about running, what indications are you talking about?

17. American drug trafficker
This is one step lower on the scale.

This scumbag, JebFRAUD, participated in bank and government frauds organized by his father, drug trafficking schemes at airports connected to Iran Contra and to the 911 plot, participation in the ENRON swindle of the Florida State Pension fund, and last but not least, the murder of Bobby Seal.
