The former Florida governor visits the Marion County retirement community Monday...


Jebbers might ask if they have any space available and reserve a condo or apartment.

Surrender, Jebbers!

I’m not sure Jeb has any voters. He was a good Florida governor but even then, he wasn’t good at facing opposition. He tried to save Terri Schiavo, but when the powerful FL State Senate leader Jim King opposed him, Bush didn’t have the support to go ahead anyway. Both he and his brother were bad at getting support or calling in the chips.

King was a true good ol boy, a leftist Southern GOPer from a yellow dog region that suddenly switched its vote to the GOP for less than positive reasons. He did good things for his constituency on a local level and this kept him popular, but overall, he refused to go along with any of Bush’ pro-life or pro-family initiatives. And Bush simply never fought back hard enough, and would not do so today, no matter what he says.
