The Right to Rise PAC “will celebrate success and risk taking, protect liberty, cherish free enterprise, strengthen our national defense, embrace the energy revolution, fix our broken and obsolete immigration system, and give all children a better future by transforming our education system through choice, high standards and accountability,” a source told Fox News. More likely it will fund Bush staffers, polling, travel, and other campaign necessities in anticipation of a crowded primary field. The move is far and away the most aggressive yet by any presumptive 2016 nominee, and may be an attempt to intimidate other candidates out of the field.
So I guess the 2016 has now officially started?
Oh joy.
Arbusto No Mas!
ReplyDeleteArbusto No Mas!
Anon @ 4:07am... I wonder if your Arbusto No Mas! is meant as a double entendre, because there is an interesitng Arbusto Energy story on Wikipedia that ties to the Bush Clan, and it is no more either. Well, it is, but under different names and ownership(s) but with apparently much profit for the original investors.
DeleteOther than that, yes, Mr. John Ellis Bush aka Jeb, has moved away from the older shrub and is surging forward with a interesting Viagra commercial which... oh nevermind!
Can hardly wait for the journalists (or Rachel, anyway) to start digging into Jebbie's record on immigration, education, and job creation in Florida. "Choice, high standards, and countability" Hm...isn;t he for charter schools? Here in MI, Snyder refuses to hold THEM accountable, using the excuse that public schools must be accountable first. But they already are...he's cut funding time after time to public schools, while enhancing his charter school buddies. More lies, Jeb. More GOP lies. But please proceed. Your Congressional buds are going to have this country in such a mess by next year in their futile attempts to 'govern,' that I don't see the GOP back in the WH until long after I'm gone.
ReplyDeleteOn Ohio, Kasich is in lock step with Snyder...
DeleteI believe that Mike Pence beats both Snyder and Kasich as far as education goes. The people elected the wrong person so now Mikey and his buds have to change the rules to make Superintendent of Education an appointed position so cheaters and liars like Tony Bennett can control the gravy train that is testing, charters an vouchers. Tax payer money in Indiana going to Catholic and Christian schools. Also, a little OT but the legislators just told us yesterday that they will be introducing a bill that will make it legal to discriminate against same sex couples seeking the services of bakers and florists who are offended by same sex marriage. Ain't it great to live in the Hoosier state?
DeleteThere's a good bit of dirt in Jeb's background that will come out and not all of it will be defensible by using the "youthful indiscretion" card.
ReplyDeleteMa Barker Bush wants him to run, or has she changed her mind again?
O/T but, God help us, I cannot bring myself to ponder another Bush anyway. There are reports in tweets on The Obama Diary that a bomb went off outside the NAACP office/building in Colorado Springs. Apparently no one was hurt but the NYT and CNN are fixated at the moment on the shootings in Paris. Has anyone heard any more about the homespun terrorism in Colorado?
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
His real name is John Ellis Bush - but Jeb sounds more redneck-ish, to get the good old boy vote.
ReplyDeleteThe Right to Rise from what? The ashes the country was left in after his brother;s debacle??
ReplyDeleteBingo. I feel the name is ridiculous and ironic as well in so many ways.
DeleteAccording to Sharpton he stole that line from Obama's first campaign. At that time it was appropriate coming after eight years of W,
DeleteRight to Rise?
ReplyDeleteWhat, you mean to tell me Jeb$ter is the Pill$bury Dough Boy?
These clueless conservatives set me up. Forgive me, but I have to say it in a poem:
ReplyDeleteYour right to rise
Means You can jerk and drive.
His half screen videos look half assed to me. He needs to learn more about modern technology... hold the camera horizontally not vertically to start.
ReplyDeleteChris Hayes suggested that to the Bush campaign last night, 5:57. Rev. Sharpton made comparisons of Obama's campaign in '08 and this new campaign of Bush's - same words. Real original, Jeb. It worked for Obama. It won't work for W's brother because that's not how Republicons roll.
DeleteGive us a freaking break Bushes!! Can't stand ya!
ReplyDeleteI think any Republican who wants to sew up the donors and the best possible campaign team needs to announce his or her intentions sooner rather than later. The R's do not want a repeat of the 2012 clown car and are looking to coalesce around the anointed one early in the game.
ReplyDeleteSorry Sarah, but the Republicans do not want you. And no, you cannot pull a Churchill and switch parties; Democrats don't want you either.
Reminds me of Bob Dole and his viagra commercials -- Right to Rise.
ReplyDeleteOT - funny in a creepy, disrespectful kinda way.

The Rise and Fall of The Fourth Reich......coming to a polling place near you in 2016.
ReplyDeleteWe all need to pay attention to Greg Palast. GOP is going to try to steal the election like they did for the Senate in 2014. Study up!
Deletegregpalast.com
You got there first. Hey I wonder if Jeb remembered to buy www.reichtorisepac.org?
Deletehmm get a redirect so maybe he hasn't! Yooohoo Gryphen! Nab that and run a fundraiser to pay for it and some content to put there!
Oh, why does he even bother! Everyone knows $arah is going to be anointed Queen of the land of America (or possibly the entire universe also too) and the Obama dogs shall be stepping stones to her throne.
ReplyDelete"The Right to Rise" sounds like a neo-Nazi, White Pride thing.
ReplyDeleteAnybody else smell sulfur? AIP Sarah Palin! Hoohah!
ReplyDelete"Right to Rise", or, "The South Shall Rise Again""
ReplyDelete"The Right to Rise PAC “will embrace the energy revolution>"
No it won't.
Enron. Blackwater. Mountain top removal. If you think you remember what the last Bush presidency was like, here's a Bush refresher course done by Keith Olbermann that I dug up on Youtube. I promise you, it was more corrupt, more incompetent, and more abhorrent than you remember it.

Two Bush presidents and at least two wars based on lies and manipulation. We need another Bush like we need another Cheney. Jeb/Liz 2016!
This is a fascinating article!

It must be - that's a fascinating URI.
DeleteJeb is a good man. Heck even democrats are seeing that W is a good man and everyone knows bush sr is one of tbe best men ever.
ReplyDeleteTwill be interesting. Especially given Clinton. Baggage. Though look at how much liberty Obama was granted.
To media. Stick. To. The issues.
Do not try to destroy no political people
Don't hold repubs to higher standards like hupocritkcal douchebags in tbe media do
People are people. We are the same.
I'm going tk assume that age and years have made bill Clinton seek help and move past his lovely past
Bush deserves the same right.
Especially since you forgive everything Obama ppl swept under the rug
forgot the /s at the end?
DeleteBarbara?
DeleteOh, how I wish this was satire, but no such luck.
DeleteDick Cheney is a good man.
DeleteRichard Nixon was a good man.
Joe McCarthy was a good man.
Jesse Helms was a good man.
And, heck, everybody knows Andrew Jackson was one of the best men ever.
People are people. We are the same.
Yeah, everyone's good. Sid wasn't so Vicious, but he was Sid "Not such a bad guy once you get to know him" Vicious. And Adolph was a cub scout.
DeleteSo....the Clintons have baggage and the Bush family doesn't? Wow! That is like comparing Einsteins IQ to Sarah Palins. Not even close, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI am of the belief that every evil deed from the twenth century whether it be stealing candy from babies to our current state can be traced to the Bush family. I would put nothing past them. Pure evil.
ReplyDeleteNote to Media: Somebody please ask him about PBSuccess and PB Fortune. Ask him if using the CIA to protect his family's and other business' foreign assets is the proper role of the CIA. Ask him how sponsoring coups against democratically elected governments spreads democracy. Ask him about his grandaddy's participation in a coup plot against FDR in order to establish a fascist govern!ent in the US and about The Octopus in Guatemala. Ask him about the School of the Americas. Ask him about torture and his plans to reinstitute the Bush/Cheney gulags.
ReplyDeleteAnd ask him about Lorraine Gonzalez and his daughter, "Noelle the snort hog got a room in rehab"
DeleteHey, Jebbie! Why don't you use Springsteen's "The Rising" as your official theme song and see how fast he comes after you? Heart sooooo appreciated Palin using "Barracuda" in '08, didn't they?
ReplyDeleteSchmuck.
UGH, he is selling the destruction of public education that isn't profit generating and "right to rise??!!" Right to rise from your own bootstraps without unemployment insurance or the ACA or SS or any of that welfare that keeps you all from rising!
ReplyDeleteutter bull hockey
Rise PAC, how original! Where did the Bush Clan come up with that one? Well, I'm sure the first choice was "Morning Woodie PAC", Will jebbie regale us with stories of growing up and mama barbara chasing him around with a fetus in a jar?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2010/11/09/the-strange-bush-fetus-secret-barbara-bush-shows-george-w-bush-the-results-of-her-miscarriage-in-a-jar.html
Did you include the fetus in baseball games? hide and seek? WTF shows their kids a miscarriage in a jar? No wonder the whole family's screwed up. Dad's jumping from planes every chance he gets, jr is painting his bunyons in the bathtub....... holy shit, never again!!!!
