Palm Beach billionaire Jeff Greene launches ad campaign for Democratic Senate bid
by George Bennett | May 18th, 2010Palm Beach billionaire Jeff Greene’s campaign today begins airing two ads to introduce the credit-default swapper and Democratic Senate candidate as a job-creating “outsider” appealing to voters fed up with “career politicians.”
No details yet from Greene’s campaign on the size and reach of the ad buy. Greene has pledged to spend “whatever it takes” to be competitive, starting with his primary against party establishment favorite Kendrick Meek.

He’s BUYING his way to political office.
Another Alan Grayson in the making.
Meek is doing it the hard way, walking, talking and getting signatures.
This Greene guy, with his BILLIONS (GREEDY GUY)will hire public relations people to promote him, will $pend money on signs, ads while the ‘poorer’ candidate continues to walk his way around.
Money=greed=buy political office

Congratulations to all the homeowners who have lost their homes to foreclosure and to those who are are upside down in their homes … you have contributed a significant amount to and made this “buy your way to a political career” campaign possible.
Without your valued contributions to this “outsider” he wouldn’t have the cash to fund his campaign.
Does the depressed value of my home count as a politital contribution to Mr. Greene?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, what oh did I miss it?
Come on Dude really?
Where is all the CGI and Special effects?
I thought a billionaire might at least pump up the volume.
It was like a CIALIS Commercial.
Narators voice so soothing, so sleepy, YAWN.
Fire your PR
They are DOING A LOUSY JOB.
I know it can’t be easy though, given your past.
Real Clever Green Jobs/Jeff Greene, oh boy.
The only green you probably know about is the kind you made on the backs of Floridians who lost value in their most precious investments.

Looks pretty refreshing to me. The politicians we have clearly aren’t getting the job done so I’m ready to see some new blood come in. Especially someone who has actually CREATED jobs rather than destroyed them…

It’s about time someone new got into the game! Every year it’s the same faces with the same self-serving agendas. Yes, Greene has a lot of money, but because of that, he can be free from the burdens of special interest (or shady real estate developer) money. Everyone talks about putting Florida first, but as far as I can tell, Greene is the only candidate who is actually in a position to do so!

Former Miami Mayor, Maurice Ferre is by-far the most qualified candidate. Read more about his campaign and his solutions for Florida at http://ferre2010.com

What bovine manure….create green jobs is code for government control of our lives. Green jobs are not profitable and I would LOVE to here what his plan really is. Big government subsidies to make products more expensively than our global competitors in factories that don’t earn a profit, bought by consumers coerced to buy the american product with government tax credits….hmmmm? I can hear it now, C-notes for Solar Panels.

Where is this clown really from? I would
rather have a high schooler born and raised in Florida run for this seat than a northeastern billionaire. Let him
wait and run for a seat in Jersey or whereever he’s from. “Showa, Im’ma gunna
takes care of yas”.
Kiss off pal and fly back home.

Holding a baby while running for office?
Now,that IS old time politics!

Reading some of the remarks posted by some of these people clearly points out the ignorance in society today. Everyone seems to be looking for someone to blame for their own misfortune. Not only is Jeff a brilliant business man with keen insight, he’s also taking initiative and doing something with his position in life. More than I can say for most unfortunately. I guess it’s just easier to sit on your sofa, complain and point fingers…

Don`t you think that these rich people could find a better way to serve the public?
