Jeb Jr. rips Gov. Crist
by Michael C. Bender | June 29th, 2009
Jeb Bush Jr. sent a fundraising note out this morning asking for people to support Republican Marco Rubio for U.S. Senate and included this dig at Rubio’s primary oppoonent, Gov. Charlie Crist:
Governor Crist has been crisscrossing his way across Florida one $2,000-a-plate dinner at a time, taking money from people who don’t care if this election is won by Republicans or Democrats as long their interests are protected.

Sounds like bush-league talk. Crist is only doing what the bush family has done for generations. although I don’t know whether junior elitist bush has any boyfriends in the closet. If rubio is elected then Florida will become the South American pipeline for (_________) (you fill in the blank).

Rubio was nothing more than a pawn for Jeb Bush. Jeb Jr should just go back to where he came from. The era of Bush “leadership” is over.

Charlie Crist is the first Governor in a long time that has some integrity! The Republicans don’t like the fact that Crist welcomed the Stimulus money with open arms!
Then the Republican Majority in the State Senate and House of Representatives for the State of Florida voted ONLY FOR THE STIMULUS MONEY TO HELP BUSINESSES…NOT THE MONEY TO HELP OUR PRIVATE CITIZENS…LIKE FOR EXTENDED UNEMPLOYMENT OR FOOD STAMPS FOR THOSE UNEMPLOYED!!! YOU CAN’T FIND JOBS HERE EITHER…ARE THEY DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THAT????
RUBIO IS ONLY BATE FOR THE MILLIONS OF REPUBLICANCUBANS WHO FLED, LIKE THEY FLED CUBA, FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION!
Rubio a good-looking Cuban-American CAN NEVER MATCH THE KNOWLEDGE, THE EXPERIENCE, AND THE INNER HONESTY OF CHARLIE CHRIST…BUT OH HOW EASILY MANIPULATED RUBIO IS!!!
THE REALITY IS THAT REPUBLICANS DON’T GIVE A HOOT ABOUT THE EVERYDAY PEOPLE IN FLORIDA OR IN THE U.S! THEY CATER TO THEIR OWN ELITE GROUPS, EDUCATE THEIR OWN ELITE CHILDREN, AND WANT TO RULE THE WORLD WITHOUT…RULES OR MONITORING…JUST A GRAND FREE-FOR-ALL!!!
READ JEB JR.’S GRANDFATHER’S (GEORGE W.H. BUSH) PRESIDENTIAL ACCEPTANCE SPEECH ON-LINE. ONE QUOTE WHICH STILL HAUNTS ME, THAT HE SAID: “NOW IS THE TIME OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER”!!!
THOSE WHO FOLLOW WITH NO QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, WHICH IS REALLY JUST A “CULT-LIKE” APPARATUS FOR THE LAST 13 YEARS…WITH NO MORALS, NO CARE ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY SPENT OR WHAT THEY DID TO GET WHAT THEY WANTED…”WACO-STYLE” MANAGEMENT…ARE FOOLISH TO NOT LOOK DEEPLY INTO WHAT HAS AND IS GOING ON WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!!!
NOT THAT WE SHOULD HAVE A ONE-PARTY SYSTEM…JUST FIND ONE THAT IS HONEST, DOESN’T RAPE IT’S STATE OR COUNTRY OF EVERY POSSIBLE RESOURCE TO THEIR OWN ADVANTAGE, ONE THAT HAS SOME SORT OF DECENCY IN ANY POSSIBLE AREA OF CONCERN OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND ONE WHO DOESN’T LIE, MANIPULATE, AND HAVE TEMPER-TANTRUMS WHEN THEY DON’T GET THEIR OWN WAY!!!
THEY LET THIS COUNTRY GO DOWN THE TUBE AND WALKED AWAY WITH THEIR HANDS IN THEIR POCKETS FULL OF MONEY! PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS TO DRAG THEM…KICKING AND SCREAMING INTO THE 21ST CENTURY TRYING TO DO THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE EIGHT OR MORE YEARS AGO!
NOW, WE ARE BEHIND THE PROVERBIAL “EIGHT BALL”. TIME IS NOT ON OUR SIDE AND THESE BIG REPUBLICAN BABIES, WITH NO LIMITS OR CONTROLS WANT TO DRAG US BACK TO THE 1950′S….AND KEEP US THERE!!!
THEIR KIDS GET INTO THE BEST COLLEGES, THEY GET THE BEST JOBS, THEY MAKE THE MOST MONEY, AND OUR KIDS HAVE HUGE STUDENT LOANS PAID TO THEIR BANKS THAT THEY HAVE STOCK INTERESTS IN. OUR KIDS CAN’T EVEN PAY BACK THOSE LOANS BECAUSE THEY CAN’T GET DECENT JOBS, AND THEY MAKE SO MUCH LESS BECAUSE THEY AREN’T PROMOTED WITH THEIR BIG CORPORATE BUDDIES!
THE REPUBLICAN FOLLOWERS, THOSE WHO DON’T BELIEVE THAT ANYONE COULD POSSIBLY BE SO EVIL, THOSE THAT BELIEVE THAT THEY TRULY HAVE THEIR BEST INTEREST AT HEART, AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS THE BEST THING NEXT TO SLICED BREAD ARE DELUSIONAL AT BEST…AND HAVE HAD A GREAT BIG GULP OF THE POISONED COOL-AID THAT THE REPUBLICANS SPOON FEED VIA PROPAGANDA TELEVISION, RADIO, AND NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES, AND WEBSITES!!!
SORRY FOLKS, ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD!!! WE BETTER WAKE UP AND GET ON THE STICK…THE NEGATIVE ENERGY THAT THE REPUBLICANS AND THEIR FOLLOWERS HAVE COULD LIGHT UP THE MOON…BUT DESTROY THE EARTH!!!
DURING THE BUSH AND REPUBLICAN MAJORITY YEARS…THEY BORROWED BILLIONS FROM 12 FOREIGN COUNTRIES, SIPHONED OVER $5.3 TRILLION DOLLARS FROM ALL OF THE TRUST FUNDS TO FUEL THIS WAR…INCLUDING FROM THE SOCIAL SECURITY TRUST FUND (OVER $1.3 TRILLION), THE MILITARY RETIREMENT TRUST, THE FEDERAL EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT TRUST, THE FEDERAL EMPLOYEE HOSPITALIZATION TRUST, THE RAILROAD RETIREMENT TRUST, ALL OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN TRUST FUNDS AND STOLE FROM THEIR LAND LEASE MONIES, AND MORE TRUST FUNDS!!!
THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IS THAT THE HISTORY OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION STATED THAT THEY DID NOT SPEND ENOUGH MONEY TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY AT THAT TIME AND IT CAUSED THE DEPRESSION TO LINGER FOR MORE YEARS THAN IT SHOULD! PRESIDENT OBAMA IS TAKING A PAGE OUT OF HISTORY TO HELP THIS COUNTRY…AND MANY FOREIGN COUNTRIES ARE FOLLOWING HIS PROGRAMS LIKE IN JAPAN, GERMANY, AND MORE!
THE REPUBLICANS COMPLAIN AND WHINE ABOUT IT…BUT IN REALITY…WHO WERE THE ONES WHO TOOK AWAY ALL OF THE CONTROLS OVER THE BANKS, WHO GAVE TAX INCENTIVES TO THE CORPORATIONS TO GO ABROAD AND “GLOBALIZE” THEN THEY RAN LIKE THIEVES IN THE NIGHT..TAKING MILLIONS, UPON MILLIONS OF OUR JOBS WITH THEM TO CHINA, INDIA, AND OTHER COUNTRIES!
WHO, I ASK YOU, IS NOW TRYING TO DISTRACT US, ONCE AGAIN, AND NOT FOCUS ON IMPROVING OUR COUNTRY, BUT EITHER NOT VOTING OR VOTING AGAINST EVERY POSSIBLE MEASURE THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS TO TRY TO HELP ALL OF AMERICA…NOT JUST THE RICH AND THEIR CORPORATE BUDDY SYSTEM!!!
CRIST IS A DECENT GUY…AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE JUST UP TO THEIR OLD, DEMONIC GAMES…CUTTING THE THROAT OF ANYONE THEY CAN’T MANIPULATE OR GET TO TO THEIR DIRTY WORK!!!
I AM A DEMOCRAT, IN CASE YOU DIDN’T GUESS BY NOW, BUT CRIST HAS IMPRESSED ME AS CARING ABOUT FLORIDA AND ALL FLORIDIANS…NOT JUST REPUBLICANS AND WHAT THEY WANT FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR BUDDIES!!!
SHAME ON ALL REPUBLICANS WHO FOLLOW THIS LINE OF THINKING…THEY ARE NOT TRUE AMERICANS…THEY ARE ONLY THINK OF THEMSELVES…I THOUGHT THAT HERE IN AMERICA…IT WAS “ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE”…NOT EVERYONE OUT FOR THEMSELVES!!!

Sounds like a good plan to me. The people tell you your platform, not vice versa. That’s why people left the Republican Party in droves. The leadership is more concerned with its slogans than the outcome. George Washington said it best: “America doesn’t have permanent enemies, only permanent interests”
Republicans like Jeb, Jr. should remember these words. Crist ain’t about the label, only the result. The Democrats need to step up before Sunshine Charlie the Orangeman becomes our next US Senator.
