Later that night at the Jeb Bush - Bill McBride UCF debate:

Tim Russert: "What's the best thing you can say about Jeb Bush?"

Bill McBride: "I like his mom very much."

---

Mom knows best.

Anytime a reporter or McBride disses Jeb on education, etc., we can quote Jeb's mother and ask the reporter if they're calling Barbara Bush a liar, lol! (^:

Please let me know if you want on or off my "'til election day" Fla. ping list.

[TXBubba]

Enjoyed the post.

Ragtime Cowgirl, I have a suggestion for the JEB Election Campaign, and this would be HUGE, Just run Barbara Bush ads with her sitting by the fire in the livin room, petting the Dog and talking about JEB, and have a Spanish and English Version LOL, I'm talking relentless non stop TV Campaign! LOL, that would be good for another 5 to 7 point Spread OMG!

JEB CAMPAIGN MANAGER TAKE NOTE

[Wait4Truth]

Bump for a great Governor! A great Governor that also has a great Mom! Oh...and a really great brother named George W. Bush...a great President! What an honorable family and I hope we all realize how lucky we are.

[EllaMinnow]

Excellent idea!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

It's a wonderful idea. They're a modest family, but with opponents willing to do anything to win, Mrs. Bush praising her son seems refreshingly honest and all-American. (^:

McBride/McAuliffe put his own foot in it, didn't he? Should've thought of something good about JEB!. Better not call Barbara Bush a liar!!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

We are fortunate. The Dems. have painted everything as doom and gloom, anti-American, anti-Florida...shame on them - and with us at war!

Here's another great testimony, from a Freeper: (^:

All the Bush family are
congenial and honest. I will go to the mat for any
of them...."W"--Jeb--- Papa Bush is the greatest.....
Use this in any Ad for Jeb....I served on the same ship
during WW2 with #41.....He was in combat as all of us
in the Pacific....He earned respect of all his shipmates, and his two sons in politics are honest and really want
to help people....above all- they have integrity !!

McBride/McAuliffe put his own foot in it, didn't he?

The very same day Mrs. Bush listed Jeb's many accomplishments, McBride also said, "The governor has sat on his hands for three and a half years."

We could intersperse McBride debate quotes with Mrs Bush's rebuttal and have quite an entertaining and enlightening ad. (^:

That would make one heck of a commercial!! If they have a video clip of her famous 'diapproving look', they could show it after each of McBride/McAuliffe's lies....then she would go on to the next item on her JEB! achievement list.

I have another story about JEB, its a personal encounter with him and let me tell it this way.

JEB was in the Lobby of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper (downtown Orlando) and my wife was on the other side of a Half Wall with about another 3 feet of glass on top of that. So, he is divided by about a total of about 5.5 feet of divider between the Lobby and the employees.

My wife yelled to him and said hello, and she made a big fuss, all the employees in that area about a half dozen came upto the divider (there's a security door and its the only way in).

Next thing my wife knows, JEB grabs a lobby Chair drags it over and JUMPS THE FENCE, (hes done this before) and all the employees got a picture with JEB - EACH alone with JEB, my wife has hers on the Desk at her Work.

JEB is GENUINE, and if you find a political family that is more down to earth, HONEST, GENUINE, and comfortable with people SEND ME A POSTCARD!

[Goldwater Girl]

This Mom is my hero- THINK what she might have done as a public official! She is awesome- and wonderfully warm and witty.
This family is amazing- makes me proud to be an American.

[katherineisgreat]

Seriously! That would be great.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

I heard Celinda Lake (Dem. pollster and feminist) say yesterday that Jeb was losing Republican women at a rate of 1% a day, because of the two feel-good amendments (class-size and pre-school). What?!

I called my local GOP head to find out what's up, asked whether the DNC, Pfaw, FEA had a list of Republican women they were feeding lies to re. the education amendments and Jeb's record with women (it's stellar!). She said that it's possible, the lists are available from local SOEs (for a price), but that no one she knows has received a call. If they're calling, I hope they call Freepers. (^:

Please pass this on to any Fla. Rep. women you know, along with Jeb's real record.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

...JEB grabs a lobby Chair drags it over and JUMPS THE FENCE...

What a great story! If Jeb's accomplishments can't move the undecided women voters, Jeb's stamina and integrity should.

The legs aren't bad, either. My ggranddad wore a kilt. Jeb's a married man...'nough said.(^:

[agincourt1415]

Hey I got a call from John Mica's Republican HQ. They just wanted to know that I was gona get out and VOTE LOL, I had them anotate my name "GLASS CRAWLER" for the record.

[floriduh voter]

Try this, rc, make email contact with Hillsborough County Pubbie Headquarters or call them. There are two offices: a Temple Terrace Office & one on the south end of town. Both were at the Women for Jeb Rally in downtown Tampa.

Ask about the yellow women's issues handout and the newspaper handout re: education from the women's rally.

Maybe they can send you both handouts by fax or email or tell you where to find them on the internet. They're great for copying. Good luck.

[Goldwater Girl]

Typical democrat lies- scare tactics-
Hey- all you Florida Republican women out there....ever get a call from a democrat pollster?
No?
Thought so!

[windchime]

RC, I will pick up the women's issue handout FV referred to and fax it to you tomorrow, if you like.
