George P. Bush Rips Charlie Crist As ‘D Light’ For Supporting Stimulus
George P. Bush Rips Charlie Crist As ‘D Light’ For Supporting Stimulus
Delivering a speech before the Young Republican National Federation yesterday, George P. Bush — the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush — ripped current Florida Gov. Charlie Crist (R) for being a “D light” (Democrat light). “There’s some in our party that want to assume that government is the answer to all of our problems,” Bush said. “I’m not going to name any names,” he added, but told the crowd, “You know who I’m talking about.” He clarified later:
Afterward, Bush said he doesn’t think Crist is a fiscal conservative and that he may have hurt himself with some Republicans for his appearance with Obama and his support of the stimulus plan.
“That will be on his track record and people are going to remember that,” Bush said, adding that Crist is running the risk of falling in the “D light” category of the party.
What does the young George P. Bush think of his uncle’s “track record”? President George W. Bush presided over the greatest expansion of government spending since World War II. “As a result of all this spending, the country has gone from a $128 billion budget surplus when Mr. Bush took office” to a deficit exploding over $1 trillion when he left office.
George P., who currently lives in Texas and works as a partner in a real estate investment firm, said he’s not ruling out a future run for elected office. “I want to obtain success in my own right. I want people to look at a record of accomplishment that I’ve put together in my own right and not based on family name,” Bush said. “I haven’t achieved my personal goals. Definitely down the road I’d love to reassess but as of right now it’s not for me.”

February 22nd, 2009 at 11:32 amWell, with a name like “George Bush” you know people are going to take his political acumen seriously these days.
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:33 am“There’s some in our party that want to assume that government is the answer to all of our problems,” Bush said.
At least he inherited the family command of the English language. YIKES.
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:35 amIt’s pretty arrogant to criticize others when your own brother was responsible for the mess we’re in: off-the-budget war, tax cuts, deficit spending, deregulation and irresponsibility of every stripe = the legacy of GWBush.
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:35 amThe Bushes seem to be egotists of the first order.
George P Bush? Jesus Christ – it’s the George Bush nightmare that never ends…
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:35 amGeorge P., who currently lives in Texas and works as a partner in a real estate investment firm,
Arbusto II?
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:36 amthe failure former known as 43 rips crist because he put country before party? ouch, that must have hurt.
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:37 amwhoops my bad, i saw the picture and flipped. was this jebbie’s son who got caught getting his freak on in a public parking lot but got away scot free?
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:38 am“There’s some in our party that want to assume that government is the answer to all of our problems,” Bush said. “I’m not going to name any names,” he added, but told the crowd, “You know who I’m talking about.”
Uh – hypocrite – and I will name names, like a grown adult.
And those names are Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II. All other Presidents since Truman have reduced the deficit on their watches. Only Republicans increased government spending!
None of you opposed those trillions of dollars your R-heavy party spent, putting this country into a great debt. Just STFU and go hide under your beds for the next 8 years. Sheesh!
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:39 amDo you think that when he does decide to run for office, he’ll go by the name “G. Phillip Bush”?
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:40 amDelivering a speech before the Young Republican National Federation yesterday, George P. Bush — the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush…
George P., who currently lives in Texas and works as a partner in a real estate investment firm, said he’s not ruling out a future run for elected office.
Bush said. “I haven’t achieved my personal goals. Definitely down the road I’d love to reassess but as of right now it’s not for me.”
If you’re in real estate, Mr. Bush, then why are you out making political speeches if you have no plans to run for office any time soon?

February 22nd, 2009 at 11:41 am“George P., who currently lives in Texas and works as a partner in a real estate investment firm, said he’s not ruling out a future run for elected office.”
especially now since his uncle failure 43 destroyed the housing market
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:41 amAfterward, Bush said he doesn’t think Crist is a fiscal conservative and that he may have hurt himself with some Republicans for his appearance with Obama and his support of the stimulus plan.
By “fiscal conservative” he means one who gets into office promising prudent fiscal behavior, and the proceeds to spend like a drunken sailor.
There is no such thing as “true” conservatism in the real world.
It’s a scam, intended for the weak-minded.
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:43 amAll right, we all know Bush is an idiot. I saw on a tabloid cover that he was suffering from depression and suicidal. I hope not, the world has to take care of him first.

There’s a graph there for visual impact of how bad Reagan and the Bushes put us in debt.
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:46 am
Well, since his uncle destroyed the real estate market, George P. decided that the place to be was in working for the government like the rest of his family.

There’s no one protecting him from how much the country and the world detest him anymore…
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:48 amI want people to look at a record of accomplishment that I’ve put together in my own right and not based on family name,” Bush said.
then change your name and move to indiana (say)…
he will always have the bridges and parachutes of the family and friends… he will never be anything in his “own right”.
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:49 amI wouldn`t buy any real estate off of this kid, he is as crooked as the rest of his family and as usuall party first over the country,Ignorant and wealthy it can`t get any better than that,Hey kid how`s the KOOL-AIDE taste?
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:51 amJUST what we all need now…ANOTHER George Bush…Run for the hills…NOT..
This dumbass is just as ideologically stupid as his father and his namesake… Someday we’ll run out of these fools and be done with them – for good !!
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:57 amis it possible that an entire extended family suffers from detachment delusions. these asshats are too much.

February 22nd, 2009 at 11:59 amI see GPBush is in real estate development — his fortunes are diminishing — is that why he’s considering running for office?
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:00 pmBushes have a reputation for opportunism in politics.
He’s toast and he hasn’t even been put in the toaster yet.

He wants to gain attention in his own right but follows the repug club of no. Typical repug.
They aren’t new, free thinkers are they?

February 22nd, 2009 at 12:05 pmOh my God! Just what we don’t need… another George Bush.
After looking at that TP picture of two George Bushes, I feel as though I have to vomit.

To make us think about the horror he can continued. A brand new clone. Also he wants to join the no club.
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:14 pmGeorge P. Bush is the latest corporate puppet being groomed for higher office. He joined the Naval Reserve last year and is being trained for an intelligence officer.

A name change does NOT alter his genes.
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:23 pmThe problem, George P. Drunk III, is not that we expect government to solve all problems. The problem is that your party doesn’t want government solving any problems.
Unless the problem has a logo and a cigar-chomping CEO.
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:25 pmbased on what? That he said something that all politicians say? Pull up your pants, your ass is showing.

Fitting. Considering the Bush legacy, soon enough the business will have a only a penny to piss on.

February 22nd, 2009 at 12:35 pmDon’t they have any names other than George in this stupid family?
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:35 pmWayne and Dixie Blood,
I understood the “P” to be Prescott, after his Great Grand father the patriarch traitor of the clan(k). As long as he has George and the P, he will forever be albatrossed with the unmitigated failure that is, and always will be, the Bush legacy.
George P. Bush, may you fly like the 1,000,000 ton rock you carry from your neck, and may you submerge to the depths that such a noose carry you to.
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:36 pmMr. Philby Says:

Booming? How? Care to explain?
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:40 pmHey idiot, you continue to be misunderstood. You knocked wiki as a source. I’m essentially reminding you that wiki is not the source. The citation is the source.
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:40 pmMr. Philby Says:
“based on what?”
Bush. :)
And that’s a credible source to you? Can you name a single Bush who served in public office who didn’t lie about something important, or help our nation’s enemies? Great-Grandfather Prescott help fund the Nazi war machine. Grandfather Bush lied about his knowledge of Iran-Contra. Father Bush lied about Iraq’s WMD.
Where’s the credibility in that family, Mr. Philby?
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:41 pmAmerica cannot afford another Bush anywhere near the White House. The End.
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:41 pmmarie, he’s is “investment” not development. His business is probably booming.

February 22nd, 2009 at 12:42 pmSpeaking of Wikipedia, can one of the neocons please explain why former Enron Senator Phil Gramm’s Wiki site has been scrubbed of any mention of his time at UBS Bank?

To make themselves feel better, the Greedy Right Wing Monsters are rewriting their own history!
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:43 pmMy mistake. I was under the impression (for some reason) that the “P” stood for “Phillip”. I don’t know where I heard that, but it appears to be wrong. I guess it really does stand for “Prescott”, after his great-grandfather who helped fund the Nazi war machine. (That much I know is correct.)
My apologies for the error.
Hey, trolls. See how easy it is to admit a mistake?
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:46 pmI want to obtain success in my own right. I want people to look at a record of accomplishment that I’ve put together in my own right and not based on family name,
I’m sure War Criminal George mouthed the same sentiments to HIS father.
Being in real estate investment in this era, is like George W’s starting in the oil business, just when the oil patch was dying out.
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:48 pmIf you had any business knowledge, whatsoever, you would know that this is a buyers market. Now, put down the bottle.
And what do they do with it then?
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:48 pmMr. Philby Says:
“a reuters article confirming the name change.”
Is changing a company name a crime?
Does changing a company name mean the people that work their are people that should now be trusted or are they the same people with a different name? Rebranding only works for the uniformed and easily impressionable people.
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:48 pmKayInMaine,
I don’t know how to do it myself, but I understand there’s a way to find out who edited a Wikipedia entry. It has been discovered that some prominent people and corporations have edited their own wiki pages to remove negative (though factually correct) information. Not claiming that’s what happened here, and it might be hard to prove as Gramm could have asked someone else to do it.
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:49 pmIf you had any business knowledge, whatsoever, you would know that this is a buyers market.
So they’re spending money, not making money.
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:50 pmIf you had any business knowledge, whatsoever, you would know that this is a buyers market.
Do they just sit on the property or develop it, Philby? Both are bad moves in this economy.
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:51 pmWhat’s the matter Philby, old chap? Forgot how to type?
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:53 pmWhich is why it’s called the Rubin-Summers Bill, right Pillsbury?

Central To The Passage Of Gramm-Leach-Bliley.
An evolution of the wingnut species? Instead of all caps, capitalizing each word?
How tedious.
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:57 pm“Gramm is a vice-chairman of UBS Investment Bank, a financial services company, and massive benefactor from Gramm’s financial positions while he was in the Senate, based in Switzerland.”
Hi Kay, I looked at the page’s revision history. Was that the removed reference?
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:57 pmPersonally, I have no business knowledge whatsoever, but even I know about supply and demand. Apparently Philby forgot the demand part.
Eventually, yes, real estate investment will make money, but right now, that would probably be years away. So, booming? Pfft!
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:57 pmPillsbury understands the program:
Step 1) R’s in Gov’t crash the economy to drive prices down.
Step 2) Their old-money supporters buy up everything in sight at fire sale prices
Step 3) D’s are allowed to fix the economy, driving prices back up
Step 4) The old money interests sell our property and companies to foreigners at inflated prices and cash in big-time
Step 5) Rinse and Repeat.
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:59 pmRent it, lease it or just sit on it and sell it when the market comes back, which it always has done w/out gov’t getting involved.
They will be lucky to rent it out without offering givebacks.
Sitting on it risks losing even more, as the market declines further.
They will burn through their capital, waiting for market recovery.
is that the feeble best you can do?
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:59 pmMr. Philby Says:
“It has been discovered that some prominent people and corporations have edited their own wiki pages to remove negative (though factually correct) information.”
Yea, just ask keith olbermann……
Why, did he edit out factually correct information from his wiki page? I would like to see some evidence of this. Could you please link me to it. Thank you.

February 22nd, 2009 at 1:04 pmIf you had any business knowledge, whatsoever, you would know that this is a buyers market. Now, put down the bottle.
It’s a buyer’s market if people have the principal upfront for the home, since credit is weak. Since most people can’t buy a home out-of-pocket, the current state of the housing market relies on the top 1%, yet again, to buy up these homes as investment properties.
The poor and middle classes lose, again.
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:06 pmThanks, barfly, as soon as I saw tom’s ‘Step’s I had to post it.
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:06 pmPillsbury – it’s a rich people thing, so you wouldn’t understand.
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:07 pmI want people to look at a record of accomplishment that I’ve put together in my own right and not based on family name,” Bush said
Especially after seeing how well it recently worked for Hillary and that Kennedy lady.
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:07 pmDidn’t Bush get the ball rolling for the “bail out?”
Yeah, where’d that $350 billion go, anyway? Has it started ‘trickling down’ yet?
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:08 pmuuh- “There’s some in our party…”
So after George HW Bush, the Bush offspring stopped needing to learn grammar entirely? Good for them. This was a perk of blue-bloods I was not aware of.
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:08 pmPhilby’s link (from a supposed real estate investor):
Investing in Real Estate – Buying Unfinished Homes
Then he told me something that floored me: He’s taking some of his hard-earned profits, and has been investing them in Florida real estate. Unfinished single-family homes to be exact.
Now there’s a profit opportunity! How that going to profit them, with a glut of unsold houses on the market? Isn’t Florida one of the most hardhit foreclosure states?
Winner!
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:08 pmHow clever, the neonuts trash the housing market for everyday people to use as an aerial investment vehicle.

February 22nd, 2009 at 1:10 pmFrom the interview snippets, I take it Geo. P. wants to bankrupt a couple of companies before jumping onto the public payroll, like Unca Dubbie did.

My bad. So Gramm hiding his ties to OBS is MUCH different than a private figure changing their wiki page. But of course, you lyin, cheatin, stealin, scumbags will try to equalize your treason by pulling any sort of shit from your ass.

February 22nd, 2009 at 1:13 pmHere’s the news article on Gramm’s joining UBS:
http://money.cnn.com/2002/10/07/news/companies/warburg/index.htm
When Phil joined UBS, their stock price was $36. Friday it closed at $9.71
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:13 pmSo if the current administration can ease this economy out of a rut, the top 1% are positioned out of soaking up these properties to become even richer.
A dangerous cycle that will prove tough to break.
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:14 pmMr. Philby Says:
“I just paid $28,000 for a three-bedroom 3,000 sq. ft. house. I’ll probably have to dump another $25K – to $50K into it to finish it off. I then put it on the rental market. I usually sign a rental contract within a week.”
Jim said because of the high foreclosure rates in Florida, the rental market is doing very well.
Okay, mr Business Expert. How many years will it take Jim to recoup his $53,000-$78,000 “investment”?
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:14 pmJim said because of the high foreclosure rates in Florida, the rental market is doing very well.

Or must real estate investors also now become landlords?
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:16 pmPhil Gramm’s UBS got billions in funding from America’s Federal Reserve Bank. From WaPo last fall:
The Swiss National Bank, the central bank, will oversee the new fund for toxic debt, much of it linked to U.S. mortgages. UBS will provide $6 billion in equity for the fund, and the central bank will provide a $54 billion loan to it, channeled from U.S. Federal Reserve funds.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/16/AR2008101600987.html?hpid=topnews
Grammy’s mitts are all over the bailout and had to be on the tax offshoring, given his executive position with UBS.
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:18 pmListen closely, stupid troll. When they buy up these properties for investment, of course they’re going to rent them out. Problem is, the overlords get to throw these people out when it comes time for them to make a profit. Bulk ownership by a few comes at the cost of many.
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:19 pmYou have not a clue what you are talking about.
Ouch. Don’t play so rough with us poor morans.
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:19 pmI had a freind of the family, real estate atty in my house on Friday saying that he is getting cold calls from financial institutions selling debt at $.06 on the $1. He feels that putting up $10K, and possibly forcing people to pay him 8 cents, he can turn a profit. And if they don’t pay up, he, being a lawyer can take them to court. As if all of them will be in his licensed state. He thinks that there are enough people out there for the financial institutions to sell their toxic debt off. He thinks that he will be getting the cream of the crop of debtors from these financial institutions, and they will not be hard core F uck you types, who could care less of their credit rating, which is probably the reason they are in the financial pool to be sold anyway. What a dope.

February 22nd, 2009 at 1:22 pmCrist is not the chair of the RNC, he’s governor of a state. He is not beholden just to Florida’s Republicans, but to all of it’s citizens.
As usual, to a Republican — especially a Bush Republican — anyone who isn’t one of them doesn’t matter.
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:23 pmSo Philby’s strategy for success amounts to economic condorism. Picking the bones of failed enterprises. How positively ’80s.

February 22nd, 2009 at 1:24 pmCompletely different subject, though.
Eh, how? If they’re buying up properties in bulk, that’s bulk ownership. Not sure when this housing market is going to recover, but any recovery would be positioned to aid a few investors over millions of everyday people. How would that sustain the market for the long-term?
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:27 pmI still haven’t forgiven you for ratting me out in the Pizza Roll Affair, Alecto ;)
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:28 pmgeorge p. you’ve got to do it
the way your uncle w. did it.
here’s david rubenstein of the
carlyle group to explain it for you:
*
“But when we were putting the board together, somebody [former Nixon aide and Bush family retainer Fred Malek] came to me and said, look there is a guy who would like to be on the board. He’s kind of down on his luck a bit. Needs a job. Needs a board position. Needs some board positions. Could you put him on the board? Pay him a salary and he’ll be a good board member and be a loyal vote for the management and so forth.
“I said well we’re not usually in that business. But OK, let me meet the guy. I met the guy. I said I don’t think he adds that much value. We’ll put him on the board because — you know — we’ll do a favor for this guy; he’s done a favor for us.
“We put him on the board and [he] spent three years. Came to all the meetings. Told a lot of jokes. Not that many clean ones. And after a while I kind of said to him, after about three years — you know, I’m not sure this is really for you. Maybe you should do something else. Because I don’t think you’re adding that much value to the board. You don’t know that much about the company.
“He said, well I think I’m getting out of this business anyway. And I don’t really like it that much. So I’m probably going to resign from the board.
“And I said, thanks — didn’t think I’d ever see him again. His name is George W. Bush.”

good luck on your quest p.

February 22nd, 2009 at 1:40 pm“P” sounds a lot more like his namesake rather than his dad, down to living in Texas. And what is this with his joining the Navy Reserve at age 30? It looks to me like he is taking aim at running for something in 2012 or 2014. He carries baggage beyond the “Bush” name too. Republicans don’t seem to mind a little baggage though.
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:41 pmI’m sure Charlie Crist will be up all night worrying about something a Bush said.
**eyes rolling**
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:43 pm“I want to obtain success in my own right. I want people to look at a record of accomplishment that I’ve put together in my own right and not based on family name,” Bush said.
I hate to be the one to inform you of this , but your family name ranks somewhere around jock itch in terms of “accomplishment” , dipshit ……..
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:44 pm“Republicans don’t seem to mind a little baggage though.”
A “little” baggage? You have GOT to kidding me. George, Prescott, and Bush. That is the like a TITANIC worth of baggage.
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:46 pmMr. Philby, firstly, why do you take the name of a traitor?
Secondly, isn’t it grand to make bucks off other people’s misery?
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:46 pmpoor pillby, America knows the republicans did this, it was the economy that finally turned them against you, remember?
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:48 pmseems philby has climbed out on the proverbial limb and cut it off while still sitting on it…..republican/wiley coyote syndrome….
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:51 pmI don’t think he has to worry about obtaining “success” based on his families name.
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:56 pmGeorge P’s idea of a proper Republican governor is someone such as Sarah Palin, who would bite the head off of a live chicken if she thought it would boost her appeal with the conservative base.
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:56 pmlabman, you mean turkey?
February 22nd, 2009 at 1:59 pmKeith, I was keeping it traditional, but I like your visualization even better.
February 22nd, 2009 at 2:03 pmThe belief that any Republican politician who doesn’t march in lock step with the party leaders is a Democrat or a traitor is going to be the downfall of the Republican’t party.

Or more correctly,
February 22nd, 2009 at 2:03 pmProstitute her children and lie saying she had a child, when her out of wedlock daughter(s) has now had two. Palin is the poster child for parental licensing.
I haven’t read all the posts on this thread yet but the number of responses indicates that there is at least one troll here leading the pack.
February 22nd, 2009 at 2:03 pmDefinition: “Lock-Nut” = Republican dittohead that attaches itself to the teat of the Republicon talking point machine and just allows the talking points to shoot directly from their mouth out their ass.

George P., who currently lives in Texas and works as a partner in a real estate investment firm….
And said investment firm is probably in the midst of a feeding frenzy snatching up all those devalued foreclosed homes on the market.
Bend Oregon has been particularly hard hit by the falling home values. I have a friend who bought a home that sold for $375,000 a little more than a year ago for $225,000. He knows a real estate agent in Bend who says that 90% of the homes being purchased in Bend are being purchased by investors.

If you want to read a totally enlightening book about the Federal Reserve and our economy, find a copy of “The Creature from Jekyll Island”. It’s out of print now but you can still find copies on Amazon. It’s a gripping read and will totally educate you about how our current financial situation came to be.

Speaking of Wikipedia, can one of the neocons please explain why former Enron Senator Phil Gramm’s Wiki site has been scrubbed of any mention of his time at UBS Bank?
To make themselves feel better, the Greedy Right Wing Monsters are rewriting their own history!
And this is why you should never rely on anything you read on Wikipedia.

Or must real estate investors also now become landlords?
i thought that was a big part of it, myself… the rent pays the rent…
how come no one’s trashing my comment @26… same thing…
i know if i had the money i’d be buying cheap properties now… especially if i had family wealth to fall back on and not have to worry about “making a living”… right now he’s just another overpaid name for his “investment” company…
the rich are not worrying about holding on to property for better times.
their only worry now is how to hang on to all those tax cuts that benefits only their exclusive club…
i just heard that a big part of that is going away in the next budget… there’s going to be lots MORE grumbling to come!
February 22nd, 2009 at 2:17 pmWhat a picture. Kiss me and don’t forget the tongue. Laura never gives me tongue.
February 22nd, 2009 at 2:34 pmNo Bush should ever say “Fiscally Conservative” EVER. Does he know his uncle? Oh Great another narcissistic little s**t waiting in the wings to do more harm to our country.
February 22nd, 2009 at 2:34 pmoh. well, maybe not…
segment on cnn now about the bad economy in 90210…
a high end pawn shop making more loans than ever…
February 22nd, 2009 at 2:35 pmGeorge P. Bush is Sarah Palin in a suit! I wonder if he winks too!
February 22nd, 2009 at 2:37 pmThe Bush Family would do better to put their hopes on Jenna’s husband the George P. Look George P. has DUI’s and Drug charges in his pass. Now he’s a recovering alcoholic like his family members. Never did a day in the Military and will have GrandPa Bush pay off his crimes. Uncle GW will go down in history has thee worse President in the History of the United States. George P. is just using to name to suck in the wing nuts for some drug money. I wonder if George P. was in on the Property scams set up by his Uncle George W. and the friends? Next we’ll hear Jeb’s daughter just out of rehab is running for Govenor.
February 22nd, 2009 at 3:23 pmAh, nice to finally hear from George “Pissant” Bush. Just as dumb as his relative George “Wanker” Bush. They should have pruned that family tree for sure.
February 22nd, 2009 at 3:27 pmIf P. Bush seriously considers running for elected office, he should forego attempting political hand-symbolism like W’s three-splayed-finger gesture.
Voters would see a brown-skinned young hispanic, flashing some sort of gang sign…
February 22nd, 2009 at 3:34 pmMr. Philby Says: 44
You are a moron nuff said
February 22nd, 2009 at 4:36 pm“George P. Bush Rips Charlie Crist As ‘D Light’ For Supporting Stimulus”
lol Another Bush coming out of the woodwork to join the choir to attack the stimulus package. Last time I heard about George P. Boosh was when he was panhandling latino votes for his idiot Uncle George in 2000 and the incident in December 1994 when he broke into the Miami home of a former girlfriend, argued mightily with the girl’s father, fled the scene, and returned 20 minutes later, drove his Ford Explorer across the front lawn and the girl’s father declined to press charges. I’m waiting for Jeb’s youngest son, John Ellis, to resurface from the clan who was arrested in 2005 for drunk and disorderly.
The entire Bush clan are all messed up. Even Dr. Phil can’t help them. Barney and Miss Beasley will next to attack the stimulus package.
February 22nd, 2009 at 4:36 pmAnother Bush idiot.
Nothing new there.
Hey, Georgie P.: Government can be a partner. An answer. A helper. Not the be-all, end-all, but another piece of the solution. Say, where were you when that simian relative of yours was racking up record deficits with tax cuts and an illegal, immoral invasion of a sovereign nation?
So … STFU.
February 22nd, 2009 at 4:40 pmYou’d think that someone who grew up as the son of the governor of a state that probably gets more FEMA money than most would shut his trap about big government/federal funds.
February 22nd, 2009 at 4:49 pmJane E. Schneider Says:
That’s right. In fact, Florida wouldn’t be the state it is today without lots of federal money going to it after natural disasters.
The simple truth is, without federal money, Floridians would not be able to afford to live in Florida. Disaster recovery would cost way more than they can afford.
It’s because of the “United” part of “The United States of America” that the rest of the country helps them out when they need it. A simple “Thank you” will do, so STFU George Prescott Bush.
February 22nd, 2009 at 4:59 pmGeorge P should go crawl back under the rock, these Bush vermin came out from under!
February 22nd, 2009 at 5:13 pmWHO CARES WHAT THIS PIP-SQUEAK HAS TO SAY??
February 22nd, 2009 at 5:35 pmGeorge P. Bush might be a hunkalicious young Republican, but he still seems a bit creepy. “P” was involved in a troubling 1994 incident described in this Metro-Dade Police Department report. On December 31, 1994, Bush showed up at 4 AM at the Miami home of a former girlfriend. He proceeded to break into the house via the woman’s bedroom window, and then began arguing with his ex’s father. Bush, then a Rice University student, soon fled the scene. But he returned 20 minutes later to drive his Ford Explorer across the home’s front lawn, leaving wide swaths of burned grass in his wake. Young Bush avoided arrest when the victims declined to press charges.

Two things:
One, see comment #24. That was already brought up before.
Two, it helps to give proper attribution to your sources. You modifed it a little bit, but it is essentially the same thing that’s on TheSmokingGun website. (I saw it there, too.)
Otherwise, I agree. G. Prescott Bush is a little bit creepy.
February 22nd, 2009 at 6:38 pmYeah, right
February 22nd, 2009 at 6:41 pmBush said, adding that Crist is running the risk of falling in the “D light” category of the party.
This is whats wrong with the Republican party! If you don’t agree with their Ideology 100% and all the time you’re not considered a “true” conservative. Obama doesn’t have to do anything the GOP will destroy itself.

February 22nd, 2009 at 8:08 pmWhat is George Prescott Bush smokin’ ? How about his D- uncle? The U.S. will be digging out of this mess for years…THAT is the Bush legacy. It will be when hell freezes over when another Bush gets elected to a prominent political position. As it should be….
The article fails to state how many dozens of people attended the national young republicans’ meeting. George Prescott is a nobody, with no credentials, with no chance.
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:04 pmShrubbette already has the grandiosity, pompousness, shallow repartee, name-calling, and finger-pointing down pretty darned good.
Our Constitution wasn’t exactly set up to deal with a dynasty in Washington. Do we need to start the amendment process NOW so that we won’t end up with yet another generation of shallow shrubbery in the Oval Office?
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:27 pmWhat do you know?
Another Texan republican carpetbagger named bush who just happens to be in the real estate scam (whoops, meant to say “business” there) whose name just happens to be bush. Guess he’s taking after his other uncle whose name happens to be neil bush, you remember him, don’t you, the one who was involved in the Savings and Loan scandal long ago, the debt which we’re still paying for with our tax dollars after 35 years or so.
When’s he due to go into the other family “business” – politics???
February 23rd, 2009 at 2:22 amWhy is he in the reserves? What is wrong with active duty? Hasn’t he heard about his uncle’s Iraqi mess? Typical chickenHawk poser.
February 23rd, 2009 at 1:49 pmHoly Sh*t not another Bush! That’s all this country needs. By the way if you want some real good history on the Bushies, read “Family of Secrets” by Russ Baker; it’ll sure open your eyes!
