While Jeb Bush was governor of Florida, state pension officials committed at least $1.7 billion to financial firms whose executives were “Pioneer” fundraisers for his brother’s presidential campaigns. To achieve Pioneer status, the fundraisers had to amass at least $100,000 worth of bundled contributions to one of George W. Bush’s campaigns.

An International Business Times analysis of Florida government documents and a list of George W. Bush’s bundlers compiled by Public Citizen found that 11 firms that received new Florida pension investments under Jeb Bush were Pioneers. IBTimes also analyzed data from the Florida Division of Elections and Political Moneyline to determine how much money executives from those firms donated directly to Jeb Bush’s campaigns, George W. Bush’s campaigns, the Republican National Committee and the Republican Party of Florida between 1998 and 2006.

Did you know there are right-wing terrorist groups and foreign agents posting malicious code at this website to coordinate efforts to assassinate President Obama and U.S. Secret Service and NSA agents failed to alert the Commander in Chief?

5. No I really was not aware of that.

It seems Bush family members have never had a hard time obtaining substances and avoiding the consequences when caught. Sorry to hear Agent Mike has gone South on DU.

2. Here's a typical occurrence

I recommended your opening post and it did not register. Long ago, through various online activities, I attracted constant monitoring by the National Security Agency, The Federal Bureau of Investigation and The U.S. Secret Service. I wonder which agents are willing to file false reports, about this type activity. Anyhow, I'll try to give you another rec. Did Jeb Bush buy this website yet?

4. The Bushes must be the dirtiest

family in America. They're into war-profiteering, spying, and God knows how many other awful things. If the media weren't in their pocket, they probably would have been run out of the country by now.
