Gov. Bush blasts Carter for voting fears

Who ya gonna believe, me, or your lying eyes?

TALLAHASSEE -- Gov. Jeb Bush lashed out at Jimmy Carter on Tuesday, saying the former president was off base in criticizing Florida elections.

In a Washington Post column Monday, Carter called Secretary of State Glenda Hood and other Florida election officials "highly partisan" and accused the governor of doing nothing to fix it.

"There's this constant haranguing of nonsense, including by President Carter, which is a huge surprise to me because I have admired his compassionate actions in his post-presidency," Bush said. "Without talking to a single person, without getting any information, he joins up with the MoveOn.org crowd, and I cannot tell you how disappointed I am."

<snip>
Peter Schurman, executive director of MoveOn.org, responded: "As far as we know, President Carter is not one of our 2.8 million MoveOn.org members, and we haven't had the privilege of working with him. However, we do share his concerns about the integrity of the voting process in Florida."

<snip>
Gov. Bush dismissed recent reports that electronic-voting machines in Hillsborough County are vulnerable to hacking. "That's bogus," Bush said.

2. Damn Bushco 2 is as corrupt as his brother. He has no right to question
the integrity of Jimmy Carter, a man of SIGNIFICANTLY higher stature than any of the Bush boys could ever hope to be.

3. jeb may be even more corrupt than ape boy
jeb is one of the authors of 'the project for the new american century', PNAC, that is a blueprint for global domination. PNAC's many authors decided the plan wouldn't work unless there were a 'pearl harbor event' to set it off.

i get the feeling that bush is just the frontman dolt, and jeb is the really really evil one.

concerned about Jeb than about the voting machine.

On Edit: It is not who votes, but who counts the votes.
Thus spake Josef Stalin.

5. Hmmm, whom would I choose to believe?
A * by any other name is still a *. Whereas a former President, capital 'P' mind you, a man of God, truly, unlike *, a man of peace, man of honesty, builds homes for the poor - yeah, I'd believe *. hahaha.

If Carter says it, I'd believe it. Period.

And mopaul, that pic. I'm losing my dinner here and I ate at least 10 hours ago. It's still trying to remove itself from my stomach. LOL. Ooooh, that is horrible. Horrible but TOOO funny at the same time.
