Jeb Bush Quietly Lays Campaign Groundwork Through Foundation (sigh!)
Buzzfeed ^ | Wednesday March 6, 2013

Posted on 03/06/2013 7:04:55 AM PST by Bigtigermike

“The chatter is he's up to something,” says one Florida operative.

If Jeb Bush decides to convert his media tour into a presidential bid in a couple years, he won't have to look far for a campaign staff: The well-funded education foundation he runs out his office in a Miami hotel is stacked with former political operatives, a large communications team, and a rapidly growing staff whose work stretches into 40 states.

It is common practice for undeclared presidential candidates to build a campaign infrastructure under the guise of a political action committee, but Bush appears to be laying the groundwork for a potential campaign through his foundation, multiple Florida political strategists told BuzzFeed.

"The chatter is he's up to something," said Florida Democratic operative Christian Ulvert. "He has a robust staff and has positioned himself on policy issues. You can safely say his eyes are focused on some form of higher office."

That’s why we need to make serious moves toward a third party - in plenty of time for them to know we’re not gonna take this doo-doo from them any more.

Was Karl Marx buried in England or Scotland? I think half the folks in his family committed suicide and just about nobody attended the funeral for that useful idiot.

You are so right, very sorry, actually of the 4 it was only Mark Levin who admonished “at the top of their lungs”. My point was, they all caved in to Carl Rove’s RINO just like I did and just like Carl Rove knew we would and just like they probably are going to do in 2016. Except I’m not going to cave again, especially if it’s Jeb Bush, and I hope I’m wrong about Levin Hannity Rush and Palin. I would like to see them instead lead a 3rd party rebellion agains the Republican party. Our first recruit could be Ted Cruz, and then we’re on our way. Can’t be any worse than what happened last two elections.

I think Rand Paul will run and I think Jeb Bush will run too. I am certain Sarah Palin will be all in for Rand Paul. While Jeb Bush (probably the best of all the Bushs) will have the advantage Paul has a few things going for him too. Not the least will be inheriting his father network of supporters. That plus strong Tea Party support (Sarah Palin) will present Jeb with a real challenge.

Norm Lenhart had it right, Highgate Cemetary in London. He lived the last 33 years of his life in London.

Marx came to mind because of the “Bush” thread.

Jeb’s great-great-grandfather, along with many other business and Wall Street leaders of that time, was on the board of directors of American International Corporation, located at 120 Broadway.

The address at that time was sort of a financial management nexus of the Russian Revolution; AIC investment and operations in the fledgling Soviet nation were significant.

The Federal Reserve of New York also had its office there, as did the first Soviet ambassador, Banker’s Club (top floor), Guaranty Securities, E F Harriman and General Electric.

No, not Bush vs. Clinton.

It will be Bush vs. Obama.

That First Witch (Michelle) will run.

And of course because the powers that be know how to steal elections, and know we the people will do nothing about it, the Wookie will “win”.

We are looking at having the Muslim, communist, Obamas in office for 16 years.

The only thing that will stop it from happening is God.

I cant wait till these Bush worship threads re-appear here, those old 'dose' threads and those pretty pictures of George and Laura were priceless..

Keep in mind I didn't write this. This is from an e-mail I received, and I thought it showed a side to the former President that most people don't know. Enjoy

This comment on the thread is a classic. #26 and it just gets better after that.

RE “Ohiowfan!!!Memories, like the corners of my mind.............”

Yep,. early 2009 she jams(or scams) her way back in.
I am sure she thought that the day Obama took office that we all would long for GWB and even join tribute on the GWB picture worship threads, so she had to get back in to be part of the gang.

But we didn't, we recognized his real legacy before many others here did. We gave them quite a headache.

The last time, all the conservatives cancelled each other out. Plenty of conservative candidates, we just couldn’t agree on one and Romney crawled out from under the pile to claim the nomination.

The RINO’s bolt is spent. No way am I voting for another one.
