'Next Bush' Makes Campaign Filing In Texas - The Manchurian Bush???

reply to post by gmonundercover


Jeb signed an Executive Order (O1-261) that allowed for certain command structure between National Guard and Law Enforcement, but not specific to any action. After the attacks on 9/11 he declared a State of Emergency (probably due to the fact that the President was in our state, and there is a large military presence in the state), but he still did not declare martial law.

As for the private conversation you posted, how the hell would I know about such a conversation? I wasn't there, but it sounds like a plausible conversation during a tense time of emergency and competing needs and interests. I see nothing wrong with the particular conversation whether its true or not.

For the record, I supported the 1st Patriot Act, as a very temporary measure in the wake of 9/11, but I absolutely did not support its extensions and addendums and subsequent versions, and I do not support the NDAA.

Here's the final paragraph and resolution to the problem of the exact date as to the arrival of his parents to American soil.

Even after he stumbled over dates with a Miami Herald reporter and acknowledged his parents left before the revolution, his official Web bio stayed the same. After two news organizations reported his parents moved to the United States in 1956, his spokesman acknowledged that the bio was wrong. It was updated to say, "Marco was born in Miami in 1971 to Cuban exiles who first arrived in the United States in 1956." That puts everyone in agreement: The original statement is False.

Small potatoes, in my book.

As to the "birther" question of his eligibility as a natural born citizen.......

en.wikipedia.org...
The Constitution does not define the phrase natural-born citizen, and various opinions have been offered over time regarding its precise meaning. A 2011 Congressional Research Service report stated

"The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term "natural born" citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship "by birth" or "at birth", either by being born "in" the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to alien parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship "at birth". Such term, however, would not include a person who was not a U.S. citizen by birth or at birth, and who was thus born an "alien" required to go through the legal process of "naturalization" to become a U.S. citizen."[1]

The natural-born-citizen clause has been mentioned in passing in several decisions of the United States Supreme Court and lower courts dealing with the question of eligibility for citizenship by birth, but the Supreme Court has never directly addressed the question of a specific presidential or vice-presidential candidate's eligibility as a natural-born citizen.

Someone has to PUSH this issue up to the Supreme Court in order to find clarity and a consistent policy. I think Rubio might be the one to do this.

IMHO

I never labeled him an idiot. I do, however, label him a potential threat because the apple never falls too far from the tree. There hasn't been a Bush yet who has bourne an apple that isn't poisonous to the public that takes a bite. I have read the history of this family, all the way back to their nefarious beginnings. Have you?

Yea I have heard the bits and pieces,

Maybe he will become a democrat,

Yeah!

When I clicked on the link in the raw feed I fully expected it to say Jeb. But this kid... this is like the Manchurian candidate Bush! George and Prescott both in his name? Half Hispanic? Totally different look than the previous Bush Presidents? Good looking kid I think... dark haired and dark skinned? He's got the Bush legacy, Obama level charisma ( potentially ) - and the Hispanic vote???

This is like being in a bar fight - and winning - and then noticing that the biker gang is headed your way... and they look angry!

Democratic Defcon 5!

First of all I claim no party. But being a sports FANATIC I like to look at how to win from different perspectives. After living in south Florida, I thought the Republicans were dumb for not pushing Jeb. He actually has a way to connect with a lot of people from different cultures. Maybe Jeb didn't want it. Hopefully this is someone with fresh ideas and enough integrity to actually make a difference. The sad thing is both parties pushing the majority thing is vile and disgusting. It's just another way to avoid the issues. White, Black,Asian Hispanic doesn't matter if the interest of the people is not priority one.

He is half Mexican

What does that even mean?

One half of him was born in Mexico, the other half in the States?

So let me get this straight. Obama is born from a white mother, and he's "black". George P. Bush is born from a Mexican lady, and he's "white". Liberal logic for you folks.

Crap... My theories were right. Women do find the guy sexy...

There is a possibility that he's being groomed for low office currently. But I don't discount the idea of the RNC feeding him to the American people as an out of the blue darkhorse.

That approach just got the Dems a two term POTUS.

You don't read many of my posts.... do you?

I am not a Republican and would only vote for a Republican if he was considerably different than anything that has come along in a very long time.

Knowing who the other party might put up is of primacy in politics - thus this thread.

Oh, and question my sanity - my shrink certainly does.

~Heff

Coming here, still seeing people believing the false R vs D paradigm makes me want to see a shrink sometimes.

Question for you Heff: what did you think of Ron Paul's policy platform? You say that you would only vote for a Republican if he was different. And no, I haven't read some of your previous posts so I'm oblivious.

Lima-1, out.

You are probably too young to remember he was a speaker at the Republican convention for Bush's re-election in 2004. He gave his speach in Spanish, then in English.
60 Minutes did a storey also.
Where you drinking cool-aid around then?

In 2004 I was 38 years old. At that point I had a job that kept me busy 60-80 hours per week and a LOT going on in my personal life. Not much time, back then, for keeping up with current events at all. That was pretty much the high water mark in my life and I was busy, busy, busy and having way too much fun to care about politics.

I didn't read what sparked this post, but I believe this is the secret to fixing politics. I believe the majority of the country feels just like this! The election is a novelty to them, because they are too busy working, and enjoying life, and raising kids, and putting bread on the table, and having fun. The election isn't real, it is something on television. They might even vote, but it isn't an informed vote, and they aren't real concerned with the results.

It will take a massive upheaval in the American lifestyle to get the bulk of the country investing time and energy into politics and informed voting.

For now, we are left with the massive youth movements, massive cultural movements, and massive elderly movements that energize those voting bases with either fear or handouts. Those are the people deciding the elections, not the blue-collar, backbone of the country.

No criticism, I feel just like you did in 2004. I have no pony in the race, I couldn't care less who won between Obama and Romney. If it really mattered at all, there would have been someone like Paul up there with new ideas, but it looks like it hasn't gotten to the point where the majority desires something like that.

Ah, hell, I would vote for him. And I would vote for two terms regardless of what he does just for the pure novelty of it. 2 terms of George Bush, 2 terms of Bill Clinton, 2 terms of George Bush, 2 terms of that one guy we got now, 2 terms of George Bush. I think that would be hilarious to look back on in the future.

If America would elect another Bush they are mentally incompetent. Seriously.

You know it's going to happen. You know it will. And 2 terms at that. America loves a George Bush for some reason. Well, could call it voter fraud. lol

We need non-blue blood presidents.

Just on principle I don't think we should have another George Bush! If only to save future generations of kids getting wildly confused at having endless george bush's to learn, of which george bush did no new taxes fail, or invasion of countrys that didn't attack us, etc...

Pretty sure we can come up with some new blood at this point. Christ sakes Bush family, can't you go into something else, like maybe technology or great burger joints?

Well, I ain't gonna lie...they do make evening satire shows absolutely great to watch.
Seriously. the daily show made me cry with laughter during the bush years.
