During a Florida town hall event with John McCain, Jeb Bush appeared to throw his brother George under the bus. Bush gave a rousing talk about throwing the bums out of Washington. Perhaps he forgot that his brother is the chief bum? Read more here: http://search.huffingtonpost.com/search/?sp_a=sp100395aa&sp_k=&sp_p=all&sp_f=ISO-8859-1&sp_q=AP%3A+Palin+has+two+faces

See the excerpt below:

"Reform becomes contagious," former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, brother of the current president, said at a McCain town hall meeting this week in Orlando. "If you start to dream bigger dreams and you start challenging the basic assumptions, you can change how things work, and we've done it in Florida, and the Good Lord knows we need to do it in Washington, D.C., and John McCain is the right guy at the right time to make that happen."

1. Well Jeb, the first step of reform with you is getting a vasectomy
and sterilizing the offspring you do have. That's one gene pool that needs to be drained.

6. If Palin McCain wins it wont be 2012 it will be President Palin VP Jeb Bush

Not a shot in hell for 8 years, a whole generation before he could even pretend to try to get votes for a presidency.

But McCain gone for health, President Palin names Jeb Bush VP and the Cheney doctrine continues.

4. Clearly Jeb is as "stoopid" as his brother.
I doubt he was including republicans in his use of the word "bums" and conveniently forgot for a moment that his brother is actually RUNNING the government.. still working on "restoring honor and dignity to the white house.. yadda yadda yadda"

7. He probably means the Democrats...
...since they have control of Congress. Never mind that 8 years of a GOP White House and 6 of a GOP Congress will require more than 2 years of a Democrat Congress with the SLIMMEST of margins...

(Of course, if you're dissatisfied with the Bush regime and want to vote McCain because you think THAT's who they're talking about... they wouldn't turn you away!)
