Jeb Bush Wants to Be President. Don't Laugh.

Jeb Bush wants to be President of the United States? Really?

Before you laugh it off, the list below is just a brief sketch of the stamp the Bush Family has left on our nation. It does not begin to address their cronies who they hand selected to fill the U.S. government from Cabinet positions to the lowest federal office in the land for over 60 years. It does not touch on the dictators (including those euphemistically we still call "Royal Families&quot that they also put in power...or the ones they pulled from power when the Bush shit got a little to close to the fan.

No, the list below is just a sober reminder to all who think Americans are weary of the Bushes. Laugh it off if you will. Others have laughed before you. The Bushes usually get the last laugh.

The Bush Family is a fully operational government-in-waiting ready to take office on Day One in 2017. They always have been. Who do you think got Ronald Reagan up and running so quickly in 1981...and got those weapons delivered to Iran so quickly after the inauguration? You actually don't believe it was Ronald Reagan, do you? George did it. He later said "I wasn't in the loop" with Iran/Contra. Of course, not. He was outside the loop drawing it.

The 2016 Republican nomination might just already be a done deal. Karl Rove is ready to move all the other Republican primary candidates out of the way. Just pay close attention as to how any credible challenger to Jeb's chances in 2016 will be compromised...destroyed. Any challenger should watch their back or have their price ready to present to Karl for dropping out. Karl can arrange things. He's a win/win kind of guy. One by one they will be picked off or convinced not to run against Jeb.

They have the means and the motivation.

Yes, Prescott Bush's grandson has now told us all that he's ready to "serve". Why not, after all, what's another 100 years of America's future for anyway if it doesn't belong to the Bush Family?


Others can add to this list, but I'll just say this: Past is Prologue.

BUSH: 1953-1957 - President Dwight Eisenhower & VP Richard Nixon (Prescott Bush's protege)
BUSH: 1957 - 1961 - President Dwight Eisenhower & VP Richard Nixon (Prescott Bush's protege)
BUSH: 1960 - GOP Presidential Nominee - Richard Nixon (Prescott Bush's protege)
BUSH: 1969 - 1973 President Richard Nixon (Prescott Bush's protege)
BUSH: 1971 -1973 U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations - George H. W. Bush
BUSH: 1973 - 1974 President Richard Nixon (Prescott Bush's protege)
BUSH: 1976 - 1977 Director of the CIA, George H. W. Bush
BUSH: 1981 - 1985 President Ronald Reagan & VP George H. W. Bush
BUSH: 1985 - 1989 President Ronald Reagan & VP George H. W. Bush
BUSH: 1989 - 1993 President George H. W. Bush
BUSH: 2001 - 2005 President George W. Bush
BUSH: 2006 - 2009 President George W. Bush

I think he USED TO BE, but something happened. Something he didn't know about or realize. Remember how upset he was with the FOX guys saying they were callijng Ohio for Obama this pat election? I really thik all of those guys (Rover, Romney, O'Riley, and all the other pundants believed inheir hearts that RTomney was going to win! The Pub moves & shakers seem to have lost a lot of their powers, so I don't think they can guarantee another Bush win.

Jeb is not stupid lie his brother,andf I don't think he'll run unless he is convinced he would win!

in her place.."I think she's very happy in Alaska, and I hope she'll stay there." I thought, uh oh...she
wants her son in. Also Jeb has been pushing for Rubio to help clean up the GOP
image with minorities, would in his mind make a good ticket.

It's a ways off I would think, they couldn't have GW at their last convention, only
Jeb stating his brother kept us safe. There is still plenty of GW Bush fatigue, if Jeb
runs, I think he'll sink.

Nice of President Obama to invite him to the Whitehouse. Wouldn't want to ostracize one of the most criminal families in American history, that would be backwards looking and not forward looking.

It's not just the Bush winning the election, it's the whole team of deathless-seeming fascists that move in with them.

Don't laugh, but he doesn't look presidential. He has the look of someone that lives in your neighborhood or someone that you work with that you don't particularly like. If you know what I mean.

This isn't news and it isn't to be brushed off. We need to keep that bloodthirsty dynasty out of Washington from now until eternity.
