Live Jeb Bush-McBride Gub Debate Thread

9-27-2002

[Joe Brower]

Same here in Venice. C'mom clowns!

Must be democRATs running the audio feed. $;-)

[PogySailor]

McBride leads off!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Florida News Network collected more than a hundred questions from voters...

McBride owes whatever good he's done in his life, first to his mom and dad, and then to PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

He's lying about the schools, summer?

[NautiNurse]

who prompted McBride to use BUG eyes?

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

You didn't miss anything. McBride's opening statement..he dissed Jeb's record on education, lectured us on leadership..the same comments he uses at every stop. McBride was shakey.

Jeb is calm and cool. "Real leadership is making tough choices and standing on principle."

Go Jeb!

[PogySailor]

Sound is horrible.

Mcbride is already sounding his one campaign issue, increasing revenue to the FEA.

[clintonh8r]

God, I miss Uncle Janet already...

[NautiNurse]

ROFLMAO!

[PogySailor]

Dodging the question on funding his big "plans". Ha! raise taxes on the ONE group he can get away with. Cigarettes.

What's he going to gut the move 500 million from general revenue to education?

Go Jeb!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

McBride claiming he published a detailed education agenda. Stating taht we need to pay our teachers, bus drivers...stating he'd pay for his big ideas by shifting general revenue (?) "I'm proposing one new tax....50 cent per pack on cigs."

McBride's a BS artist.

Jeb nailed him. Said McBride didn't answer the question. Cost would be far more than cig tax and shifting revenues...

[Joe Brower]

I think if you tied McLawyer's hands behind his back so he couldn't wave them around it would also make his mouth stop moving.

He's nervous. You can see it quite plainly. Jeb is much calmer, as we'd expect from a man with his experience. McLawyer, as we well know. Has none.

I love how McLawyer keeps harping the cigarette tax as being worth a billion dollars. Estimates I've seen for his proposals have them costing around five times that. I hope Jeb brings that up.

[Joe Brower]

Cost would be far more than cig tax and shifting revenues...

Bingo!

[NautiNurse]

Sound quality is like an old cracked speaker from college that was thrown from the 9th floor of the dorm

[NautiNurse]

Patience...McBride will start breakthrough sweating beyond his heavy duty armpit pads.

[Wait4Truth]

Thanks for the ping! I think I'm too late, right? I am reading the thread, though!

[PogySailor]

Question #2 DCF:

Jeb answers question, McBride attacks Jeb.

[Joe Brower]

McLawyer's "orange picker" story is falling flat. His attempts at being 'homey' are quite lame.

[clintonh8r]

"McBride's a BS artist"

Well, he is an attorney...

[NautiNurse]

I'm loving this! McBride's script is too much for even him to believe!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

"We can make public education a priority but not at the expense of...(elders, etc.)" Jeb (^:

Dopey Floridian asked about the DNC press created child care crisis. Jeb's doing fine. Calm. Doesn't duck the issue, faces it head on...admits it's a tough situation, foster care, teenage runaways..."but we're on teh right track." McBride:

What a weasel...picking oranges during his college days...sounds like slick Willy....dissing Jeb's leadership...AGAIN. Says that if he were in there rolling up his sleeves, what, the Child family problem would be solved....invoked the name of God. I hate this weasel. There's no way that any one man could fix our families...and McBride's for gay marriages and abortion...that'll fix our families!
