Giving Jeb Bush the Boot in 2002 - The Grand Strategy

There are psychics out there who feel they can see what will be in 2002. In my local newspaper The Florida Today in Brevard County there were two psychic's prediction of Jeb Bush.

The first psychic, Shiraa Kathleen Rocchille of Palm Bay, Florida, says Jeb Bush will be re-elected "without any problems." Another, Chris Jones of South Partick Shores, says "Jeb Bush will win re-election by a hair's breadth."

Later in the day I saw Jeb Bush on television being asked what is his New Year's Resolution, and he answered, "I'm not going to be upset with the press."

Well Jeb, it is a 2002 election for the governorship in Florida and being on good terms with the press is in your favor - but we have all eyes on you. We know the GOP stronghold wants to be keeping baby brother alive and kicking in the governor's office for the presidential election in 2004.

This is the start of the New Year and reading psychics' predictions and seeing Jeb Bush on TV made me sick, for this is only the start of the fight of all fights to take back our state of Florida and put a Democrat in Tallahassee.

We as Floridians at Democratic Underground must do all we can to get the word out and see to it that Jeb Bush gets the biggest boot. Our own club we have formed here, "The Jeb Booters" must take action to see these predictions are dead wrong!

Jeb Bush has hurt more state workers, stripping them of job protection without representation. I'm happy to report a judge has ordered Gov. Jeb Bush's adminstration to justify changes to disciplinary rules and lay-off preferences for state workers.

The union that represents state government workers sued Jeb Bush in August to challenge changes to job protections he signed into law earlier this year.

Circuit Judge Kevin Davey on Friday gave attorneys for Jeb Bush twenty days to justifly those changes which were made without union negotiation. I will inform all of you on the court's decision.

We Floridians, all of us, must unite and vote for a Democrat to be for all the people, not the powerful that Jeb Bush represents.

With steadfast determination we can give Jeb Bush the biggest boot, get our state back for all the people, and have a fair and honest presidential election in 2004! Together we can do it!

Bleaeaeaeaeaeaeach!

mmmm. better now.

I thought Jeb was the older brother? Dems never let the facts get in the way of their myths.

[TheBigB]

No, Jeb is indeed younger.

No problem. Tell these little bittchez to bring it.

I will be wherever I can to see Reno. I will have a giant RUBY in one hand and a BRANCH in the other.

Perhaps MiamiFreePress would be interested in FREEPing these events and putting it onto the web to see these scumbags for what they really are: COMMUNISTS! (Jorge, consider yourself pinged)

We Floridians, all of us, must unite and vote for a Democrat to be for all the people, not the powerful that Jeb Bush represents.

This is neither fair nor just. Why do Democrats insist on excluding the powerful, e.g. the educated, the skilled, the faithful, the responsible, the adaptable, the capable, the intelligent, the diligent, the vigilent, the industrious, the competent, the sane?

How insensitive.

Sounds like hate speech. The author doesn't consider powerful people to be people.

Rosie O'Donnell recently hosted a fund-raiser for Janet in Miami. The two share a passion for children's issues.

Should read:

The real beauty of this piece is that the only evidence he can cite for Jeb hurting Floridians is his mistreatment of....government employees. That says it all.

Here's to Jeb for pissing off state workers! Hopefully he can strip some more unionists of their lifetime paycheck entitlements after he's re-elected.

"Tell these little bittchez to bring it."

[mattdono]

I love it. Maybe JEB can use that as the battle flag for this election.

Ping to summer.

"I will have a giant RUBY in one hand and a BRANCH in the other."

Given that the political IQ of Dems in Florida; you may need to be a little less subtle than just a ruby and a branch in your hands. . .do not want them to miss your message. . .or did you mean signs that say 'Ruby' and 'Branch'? (Or. . .maybe MY IQ on this is shaky. . .)

LOL…I can't get upset at these things. I only really started following Gov. Bush's career after I saw he really did pass laws to help public school teachers.

And, while this article is correct about the judge's request to Gov. Bush for more information, in response to this DU article, I would ask why they omitted any mention of this: Pay raise given to state employees by Gov. Bush, post 9-11.

Also, if Gov. Bush was interested in siding only with the powerful, then I would ask why is Gov. Bush the one who risks losing a political endorsement from the Homebuilders Association, even though he himself is a former developer?

It so happens Gov. Bush is the candidate demanding that new development be coordinated with better local planning, so that enough new public schools can be built for all the children in this state, many of whom are newly arrived, non-English speaking immigrants: Bush growth plan is back

Finally, I would point out that DU failed to post this article on its DU discussion forum. Why is that? Is it because they feared it would turn into another DU thread like this one below?

One wonders if Shuckmaster writers all the articles about southern Republicans for DU?
