Jeb Bush Returns to the Washington Fund-Raising Well
NY Times ^ | March 24, 2015 | Eric Lichtblau

“I’m not an expert on the ways of Washington,” Jeb Bush told conservatives last month when he was asked about a funding dispute in Congress.

Mr. Bush, the former Florida governor, has sounded that theme regularly in his fledgling presidential campaign. But even as he positions himself as a Washington outsider, he seems to have mastered a skill that is crucial in this city: tapping into the money-raising clout of the K Street lobbyists, political operatives, superlawyers and business leaders in Washington’s permanent class.

So let K Street finance him and vote for him and let the rest of the country give him the cold shoulder which he deserves.

He and Hillary will be panhandling from their rich cronies until the end. After Hillary is elected, Jeb will retire well in the warm Florida sun. And the nation will crumble like Sodom, lost in another era of wickedness.

Just a point of etiquette. Can’t assign the III designation until Jeb Bush wins the POTUS election. That is why I call him the Dauphin. :)

The Cheap Labor Express has invested millions in making sure we cannot elect anyone who will stop the invasion. Jebster is their choice to be your choice of GOP candidate this time around. Just like Romney and McCain before him.

Unless we can break the stranglehold of the cheap labor importers on our political process we are going to lose our country.

Point taken. Let’s hope that scenario never becomes reality and I suspect it will not.

I believe Romney got 10m of the 19m votes in the 2012 primaries mostly because he had the most dough. It wasn’t like there was a lot of enthusiasm from the voters.

Right. You gotta be kidding me.

I despise liars.

The only way Jebster could win is if the Democrats put up the Idiot Biden.
