DEL.ICIO.USJeb Bush passes on a 2010 race for U.S. Senate in Florida
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic is reporting on his political blog that former Florida governor Jeb Bush has decided to pass on a 2010 race to fill the U.S. Senate seat of the retiring Mel Martinez.
Says the fellow who was always dubbed the smarter Bush brother:
“While the opportunity to serve my state and country during these turbulent and dynamic times is compelling, now is not the right time to return to elected office.
The former governor said he intends to focus on education reform.
Not good news for Republicans in that state.

Why are the Bush-Boys so lacking in intelligence?! Bush-the-junior is an absolute moron and Bush-the-junior-junior is no better off!
Thank goodness he’s not going to run for any political office. I wouldn’t want anyone with the Bush name to ever serve as dog-catcher much less any position of higher office. And I don’t mean to slight dog-catchers around America. The Bush family should just go away and not be seen nor heard from ever again.

Too bad for America. The current president elect is a total idiot and we need another good Republican in the wings to clean up his mess he is sure to make. I would consider a move to Florida just to help his campaign. Skip the Senate seat and move to the White House in 2013. Bush/Gingrich 2012! Bush/Gingrich 2012! No more Bama!

What gentle, forgiving, “normal” citizens see as low intelligence or incompetence on the Bushes’ part is a sublimated response to otherwise easily recognizable earthly evil we, schooled in “manners,” are trained to overlook, or at least “not see.”
The Bushes, OTOH, have been with the Rockefellers since they helped them blow up and murder those with refineries in 1870’s Cleveland, then the Oil Capital of the World, who refused to sell out to the Standard Oil cartel for pennies on the dollar.
The rest, as they say, is history.

Its always incredulous to read all these silly remarks about the Bushes and how stupid they are.
I am sorry but I must Submit that the Stupid ones are those that voted them into office and that means 60% of America.
It is time to stop these Silly bashing of the Bush Family. If you think you can do better, go run for President, otherwise keep quiet. I never Voted for the Bushes but I believe that they did thier absolute best to improve the Country. It might not have worked out they way that they envisioned but they did thier best and should be accorded the respect that they deserve.

Come on Jonathan B., you call Obama an idiot?! What is Dubya. Please don’t tell me he is a genious. Dubya and Darth Vader have screwed up America so much, we will need 16 years of Democrats to correct it. Trust me…your grand children will be paying in taxes for what Bush did. Sure, Rs like tax cuts…makes them look good to the stupid, until they realize their children and grand chilren will pay for those cuts. Gosh, what morons some Rs can be.

Unlike the Bush family, I’m an actual conservative, not a big spending globalist.
With Jeb’s announcement, HOPEFULLY this will be the end of the miserable Bush political dynasty !
If I could only say the same thing about the Clintons and Kennedys …

The sovereign People must end the Bush “dynasty” through full expropriation and the hangman’s noose.
Bush2 committed 9/11: “The New Pearl Harbor,” Griffin, PhD.
Bush1 killed John Kennedy and Dr. King to keep us dying for the pope in Vietnam. Name one other American born before 1959 unable to recall his or her whereabouts upon hearing of JFK’s assassination…besides CIA officer E. Howard Hunt, Knight of Malta Prescott Bush’s protege, Richard Nixon, and George H.W. Bush. The faction which killed Kennedy killed King.
Prescott Bush financed the author of “I Paid Hitler,” his fellow Knight of Malta/Vatican-running papal frat brother, papal “baron” Fritz Thyssen, “The Rockefeller of Germany.” He was called that because all Europe knew the money he got from Bush to build Auschwitz was from Rockfeller, the Vatican’s correspondent banker.
It was money from the American Roman Catholic Church’s collection plate laundered through the Rockefeller family bank, Chase Manhattan (now JPMorgan Chase - the Iraqi State Bank), that was used to finance the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust after the papal bull “Divini Redemptoris” made “communists” (who had been synonymized with “Jew” by Hitler’s “Mein Kampf”) “anti-Christ”: to be declared “open season,” and slaughtered by any faithful RC with “holy” forgiveness by the “Church.”
America’s Whig Founder knew all this before it happened: he called it “the real Anti-Christ,”“an engine for enslaving mankind,”
The American People end Rome’s treasonous Fifth Column and the Bush/Rockefeller leadership, or the American Dream is dead.
Long live America
