Column: Jeb! bulldozing; Democrats just dozing [A RAVE review for Jeb from Broward County!]

Gov. Bush visits with supporters at the Regal Trace Apartments in [Dem stronghold,] Ft. Lauderdale.

Give Jeb! credit.

He caught the Democrats catnapping -- again. You'd think that the untidy agglomeration that passes for a political party would have learned to guard its flanks.

Well, think again!

Jeb! -- that's the political monicker for Gov. Jeb Bush -- came to South Florida the other day and made a serious play for black voters.

''Jeb Bush wants Floridians to believe in his imaginary world,'' said Nicole Harburger, a spokeswoman for Janet Reno. ''Voters always detect a wolf in sheep's clothing.''

There they go again; it's just as Ann Coulter says it is. The Dems cannot recite facts or debate fairly, so they simply resort to name calling. How in the world do you respond to a woman like Nicole? Sheesh.

And, it's sounding very tired and old to this independent FL voter...

''Jeb Bush wants Floridians to believe in his imaginary world,..."

BTW, Nicole [Janet's spokesperson], what's so wrong about believing in a Big Dream? Or wanting change for the BETTER? Didn't DEMS use to dream? Now all they do is complain. Complain/Hate/Complain and Hate some More -- but No Solutions EVER. Hey! Maybe that should be the new slogan of the FL Dem Party: "COMPLAIN/HATE/NO SOLUTIONS EVER - VOTE DEM!"

TOO BAD FOR THEM!

My feelings exactly. In fact, believe it or not, as I type this, my radio (tuned to 92.1, WDDV), is playing Diane Krall's rendition of "Cry Me a River". Too funny!

He will be buzy covering NAACP I think, but you might want to send some of these articles to the conservative black web site.

There's a black conservative ping list which I'm proud to be on, and let me tell you how energized that list is. I am very appreciative to be on that list and let me say again, if those freepers are as dedicated one on one as they with their threads, the energization process is already in progress.

I like to say Come over to the Jeb Side whoever you are. The opponents are too lackluster and clueless as to what Floridians need and expect from our leadership. Further, polling data shows that Floridians don't want any new taxes. FV

I think it's a laugh riot that Reno is accusing Jeb of living in an imaginary world. Yet, she's Janet the Bunny Queen from a Planet far far away. (that's her favorite book). Click on my name and you can find it on the left hand side. Janet the Bunny Queen. Who's got an imaginary world? Give you one guess... LOL

I thought the dem's mantra was "Every multiple vote counts." LOL Hopefully, the new touch screen technology will be in place in every precinct. I heard the system was pretty impenetrable.

Maybe they'll just buy votes with cigarettes and cash since they will only get to vote once. I expect some kind of cheating but they'll lose anyway and then we can resurrent registered's sore losers again. FV

BTTT. Hadn't dropped by here yet but it's a fun thread. All Jeb threads are entertaining. I don't know why. FV

I worked on this event, although I was unable to attend as I was out of town. From my coworkers, I hear it went great. That day, Jeb (!) also did an event for his Hispanic and Jewish appointees. I have the list of the Black and Hispanic appointees, and, may I say, the list is impressive! If I find the article, I will post it.

Jeb! has moxie. More importantly, though, he's got a track record that will present problems for those Democrats who simply think they can scare up enough black votes to defeat the governor in this fall's elections.

This one's a keeper. Thanks, summer. (^:

Summer. I live and work here in Pinellas County, and I must tell you the local Dems here are just overwrought with the prospect of JEB's victory this year. They are disgusted with Reno, and admit that McBRIDE is only in it for the money; (I really think he 's a ringer for Fred Flintstone).

While I KNOW JEB will win, stand-by for some real hazardous Tammany Hall shenanigans this fall.

How can the majority of FL voters take the FL Dem Party seriously when their gov candidate is likely to be one Janet Reno?

By threatening us with 'two' Janet Reno's!

All Florida FReepers should encourage all their democratic acquaintances to vote reno on Sept. 10th!!

Then we'll roll out the tanks on reno!
