Gov. Jeb Bush Not Eyeing Presidential Run

[Moloch]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Read his lips: Gov. Jeb Bush really, really isn't interested in succeeding his brother in the White House in 2008.

Bush reiterated Tuesday that he is not going to run for the Senate when Florida has a seat up in 2006, and said he has no designs on the presidency four years from now.

And he is getting awful tired of the question. "Might you change your mind?" asked a reporter. "No!" governor said. "Why am I not believable on this subject? This is driving me nuts."

1. It would be hard to be president in jail.

[Claire Beth]

2. LOL - - he doesn't want the mess that his idiot

brother leaves behind.

[neverforget]

3. uh huh, i believe him

[xxqqqzme]

4. his last name is b*sh.

his lips were moving.

What more do yout need 2 know? He's lying!

[pinniped]

5. Hopefully after eight years of hell, these stupid Americans...

will be sick of the name *. Some will wake up and associate the name * with death and pure greed.

But the vast majority will remain stupid no matter what * does.

[Skidmore]

6. BS!!!

He was the son who was originally groomed for this!! If got by with putting a lying loser druggie in office, they'll find a way to get Jebbie in. The Bush family feels it owns America, and enough people see these criminals as honest and patriotic to be stupid enough to vote him in.

7. Hmmmm...

perhaps Neil will take a stab....ROFL

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

8. The bush we have now said the SAME THING in 1999.

The same thing.

That's why we don't believe you, you asshole. Your brother said "Oh I don't think I'm interested in running in the primary" in early 1999, then whatdayaknow?

Fuck off Jeb.

[Catfight]

9. Big brother will pass him the throne when he's done ruining our country.

No need for running for anything, he'll be appointed or should I say, anointed.

[karlrschneider]

16. You beat me to it. Anointed? Yeah, with sweet Middle East Crude

:grr:

[petepillow]

10. "why am i not believable..." Too Funny!

really lobbin em up there for us, jebby. shall we bat it down? nah, too easy.

[madfloridian]

11. Will run against Sen. Nelson, probably.

Then they will have two senate seats from Florida.

[samtob]

12. He would not have a chance due to his relationship

with Poppy and....well, you know.

Even the most staunch Bush supporters would NOT vote another one in. Too much of a dynasty feeling to it, he would have zero success.

[havocmom]

13. Unless Marvin or Neil can become governors of big EV states,

Jebbie is SOL.

[aden_nak]

14. Actually, I DO beileve him. He won't run until after 2008.

Another Bush will look suspect. They need to get some other useless PNAC whore in the White House inbetween George and Jeb.

[PatGund]

15. Remind me of a joke -

Q: How to you know when a Bush is lying?

A: Their lips move.

[Dinger]

17. That Means It's A Sure Thing

He will run. No doubt about it. Watch this $hit happen again in 2008, just watch.

[LisaL]

18. Well, thank heaven for small miracle.

I guess it's Jenna's or Barbara's turn then?
:eyes:

[greekspeak]

19. If you'll buy that....I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona

Sorry George Strait, but this seems to be a fitting response to this GOP elephantshit

[Pacifist Patriot]

20. And we trust a Bush to utter the truth, why?

Can we get him to swear on a Bible? Probably wouldn't help, but it would give me a little ammo with my fundamentalist relatives.

[truthseeker1]

21. He won't be able to beat The Terminator

either that, or W plans to run again in 08 (once the GOP passes legislation lifting the 2-term limit and/or allowing foreign-borns to run)

[212demop]

22. Member of the Bush crime family?

Right and Iraq oil would pay for the war.

Sorry- your believability quotient is null and void.

[Bill219]

23. Does anyone here know...

Didn't he have some scandal involving an affair with another woman?

I remember my mother in law who lives in Florida mentioning something when we were talking politics a few months back?

[wanpete]

24. we can't take another * in the white house.

:scared:

[Benhurst]

25. Run for President? Of course not. He's a Bush ...

He'll just steal it.

[fortyfeetunder]

26. Liar liar, pants on fire

Jeb is running. Just a front.

I certainly hope Floridians are not stupid enough to let him run for governor again.

[DuaneBidoux]

27. He's a mean and corrupt as his brother but

at least he's not half as stupid. Is that a good thing? Not sure.

[NNN0LHI]

28. This is a duplicate post. The NYT ran the same story on October 19, 2004

Jeb Bush rules out 2008 presidential run

29. "Why am I not believable on this subject?" GMAFB!!!

Because:

(1) your are also spawn of that evil Bush witch.

(2) you helped fix the Florida election for your older brother in 2000. That makes you a felon. And you lied about it.

(3) without a shadow of a doubt you also fixed the Florida vote for your brother in 2004.

(4) in 1996 your older brother wasn't "eyeing a Presidential run" either. He was drafted and dragged into it by the PNAC. If not already notified by the PNAC of the fact of your candidacy in 2008 you will be by 2007. Oh, wait... you're a signatory member of the PNAC already - so you already know you were drafted back in 2000 for a 2008 candidacy.

THAT's why you're not "believable", Jeb. Any further questions?

[Dem2theMax]

30. Hahahahaha. "Why am I not believable on this subject?"

Uh, could it be because you are a *, and your family doesn't know HOW to tell the truth?

Oh wait. Maybe he expects to be 'King' like his brother. :puke:

31. This is driving me nuts

A pirate walks into a bar with a ship's wheel attached to his crotch. The bar tender says "Hey, do you know that you have a ship's wheel on your fly?" The pirate say "Arrr, I do, and...
