Bush-McBride vote count shows nice guys finish last

The concession speech -- the biggest crock in politics.

Take the one delivered by Bill McBride Tuesday evening, for example.

Having just been trounced by a down-and-dirty Republican campaign, McBride congratulated Jeb Bush on his win, said Florida was one big family and Bush had been chosen as the family's head, and made a pitch for consensus.

Lemme get this straight? Terry McAwful put all his money and energy into attacking Jeb, out of pettiness, and this guy is crying that Jeb's campaign was unfair? Man, the demagoguecrats really so want to keep the Sore Loserman title, don't they?

[goldstategop]

And we're asked to believe Lawrence McBride was a nice guy who had the terrible misfortune of finishing last. Yeah right. Bwahahahaha!!!

[daviddennis]

McBride also neglected to display much of a vision outside of the usual teachers' union-influenced pap on education. And his dreadful debate performance wouldn't have helped either.

Another whiner. This from the party of Terry McAuliffe and Begala.

Please. They threw everything they had at Jeb. They lost on the issues, but they don't want to admit it.

Send him to the showers.

Be Seeing You,

Is this the main JAX newscraper?

Bump for nasty disillusioned libs!

[soccermom]

Yep! Democrats are such nice guys, doncha know? Just ask Janet Reno how nice the McBride camp is! Was this an editorial board opinion, or just one Sore Loserman?

[Common Tator]

Democrats really believe that the public is stupid.

According to the media

Democrats and Media = SMART and BRILLIANT

Voters = IGNORANT, DUMB, and Easily Fooled

[mississippi red-neck]

Nice guy's finish last? Hmmm, funny, I thought Jeb won. Oh, that right he did! Looks to me like he voters thought Jeb was the nice guy too.

Littlebrain is the token editorial page lib on Florida's only conservative newspaper.
He's the exception - on any other newspaper, he'd be the rule.

[yuleeyahoo]

Ron Littlepage is one of two bleeding hearts on the Times Union staff, (the other being Tonya Weathersbee); who are there to remind the good people of Jacksonville just how viscious & obnoxous liberals really are.

Isn't America a wonderful country?

Where else can illiterate immature leftist pukes get paid to write bizarre nonsense without fear of retribution by the winning side?

Leftists are not fans of free speech,

[Benjamin Dover]

McBride shoulda had a belated memorial for Lawton Chiles. Jumbo-tron, concession stands, Bill And Hillary shag contest, Al and Tipper tonsil licking, Booing of Elian Gonzales and keynote speech by Fidel Castro...works every time.

WE LOST! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[stands2reason]

You'll get a kick out of this one...

[Lizavetta]

McBride should have hit Bush hard... for denying African-Americans jobs and educational opportunities,

Huh? What does this mean, that Jeb told colleges and universities to toss the applications from blacks? Ordered the employers in Floriduh to pass over black job applicants? What BS is this??

What he probably means, in his convoluted liberal logic, is that Bush deep-sixed affirmative action measures.

Which is, by the way, what Bush should have done.

I live in Florida. I heard all the questionable ads that the teacher's union ran bashing Jeb! McBride was bought and paid for by the teacher's union!
