Embarrassing JEB! Bush Flip-Flops on Iraq, Again

Look I am my brother's brother, and my own man! It's MY TURN!

(Huffington Post) - By his collapsing poll numbers, despite his intense campaigning, we know that Jeb Bush might be one of the worst candidates of all time. But, sometimes, bad politicians make good elected officials. So, the question remains, would Jeb Bush make a good Commander in Chief?

No.

I had planned to write an op-ed critiquing his major foreign policy speech from this week, in which Bush falsely pinned blame for ISIS on President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and gave a terrible vision of what he would do different. These plans would include arming "Syrian moderates" who our intelligence says don't exist. I had planned to explain why the surge was a failure in Iraq, and was merely an attempt to hand the situation off to the next administration.

But, as Jeb Bush is prone to do, he stepped all over his speech just 24 hours later by saying, "I'll tell you, taking out Saddam Hussein turned out to be a pretty good deal." Thus, Jeb erased the entire speech he just delivered. Read more.

Of bad hair, top secret emails, old Jews, and the politics of postmodern rage

Rudy, you never looked sooooo good!

Willkommen in der Weimarer Republik von Amerika!

Something is amiss in the Disneyland of First World nations.  Politics now is just a cabaret, old chum, and the stand up acts are, well, pretty darn entertaining.

The world of politics hasn't been this funny since Max Hansen played a gay Hitler on the Berlin stage in 1932, and in doing so inspired a young Mel Brooks decades later to write probably the funniest parody of a bad broadway show ever conceived in the mind of a Jewish comedian.  Nowadays, it's  "Summertime for JEB!" and this very off Broadway production is roasting the Crown Prince's best laid plans of electoral theft and easy entitlement right into oblivion.

If you don't vote for me, you'll get Trump!

And there is a Jew front and center in this production too.  A socialist one. And he is getting the biggest crowds for any act in an uneasy country now appearing to come to grips with its collapsing middle class prosperity and plutocratic political decadence through a curious combination of Woody Allen irony and absurdist comedy.  What are the dystopia scenarios that could play out in the second and third acts of this burlesque fantasy?

If Hillary's email-scandal plagued campaign implodes this fall or early next year over DOJ and FBI investigations, Bernie Sanders will become the Democratic nominee by default unless Joe Biden or perhaps Al Gore or Elizabeth Warren enter the race to claim the vacant nomination.  Should that happen, and Sanders rolls on to win Iowa and New Hampshire, then the GOP race will probably get very interesting.

Falling in love again, they can't help it. Angry 
white men flock to me like moths around a flame!

The only real argument the Republican Establishment has to control its reactionary base is one of electability.  Cruz, Trump, etc. are not electable, but Kasich and JEB! are (well JEB isn't really, and that is the real Achilles Heel for the Establishment this time around).

If a socialist Jew appears likely to win the Democratic nomination this traditional elitist argument will fall apart.  The GOP base will decide it can nominate someone it really wants to take on another fringe candidate of the left, someone stridently reactionary and nihilistic like Trump or Cruz.  This is the Weimar scenario, where Mexicans and border walls replace Jews and backstabbing.

What would a panicked Establishment do, facing say Trump or Sanders as the alternatives? Reluctantly throw in with Trump, under the impression he would be the lesser evil than Sanders, and hope they can have some control or influence?  Would they run JEB! as a third splinter party candidate, and hope he can carry a handful of states, and throw the election into the house where Boehner can elect him, whether he comes in third or not?

The plutocracy would probably make a bad decision regardless.  Just as the German ruling class plunged their country recklessly into Belgium in 1914 and eventually got Hitler in 1933 for their folly, will the denizens of our Herrenklubs, our von Papens and Hugenbergs who plunged the US recklessly into Iraq in 2003 eventually commit national suicide on the altar of a reality show star pretending to be a fascist for profit?

The Public Face of JEB!'s Campaign Thinks Americans are 'Too Stupid to Govern Themselves'

Vote for JEB!, and the joke is on you, Amerika!

(Conservative Review) - Tim Miller, the former Executive Director of America Rising PAC is currently the communications director for JEB! 2016.  Miller is openly gay and has campaigned hard in the past against "traditional" marriage amendments. Back in 2010 Miller wrote on his Facebook page that he thinks Americans are “too stupid” to run their own government. “I like all kinds of activist judges,” Miller wrote. “Fat kinds, skinny kinds, red kinds, blue kinds. The people are too stupid to govern themselves. This is very cognitively consonant for me.” The Crown Prince's then spokeswoman Kristy Campbell said the content of the posting was a joke. Read more.

Breitbart News: SHINY NEW TOYS: JEB BUSH REACHES FOR ‘REFORMICONS’ AND SOCIAL MEDIA ‘GURUS’ TO STAFF CAMPAIGN

The Summer of JEB!'s Discontent: What the Crown Prince must do this fall to force himself on the GOP next year

No Bush could ever have become president without a ruthless amoral hatchet man running their campaign. HW would have lost in 1988 without Atwater (and did lose without him in 1992). W. would have lost without Rove.  

JEB! will lose without someone as evil and ruthless as Atwater or Rove running his campaign. That is the thing to watch about him. If that person does not step up soon and start running a money-driven character assassination operation against any plausible alternative to JEB! while JEB! continues to lie about how "compassionate" and "even-handed" he is, then JEB! is not seriously running to win.

He may be just going through the motions of running to please his aged father, or he may have become a delusional legacy wastrel who really believe the Gods of politics are speaking to him, and telling him that he is a man of destiny.  If history is any guide, he will be more practical and realistic.

Rove appears too fat and lazy with his easy jig as a pseudo-expert talking head over at the Bush News Network to come back to work for The Family full time as a dirty trickster, so where will JEB!'s Prince of Darkness come from?  Could it be JEB!'s campaign communications director, Tim Miller, a nasty self-loathing Log Cabin "biach" and oppo researcher who previously co-founded a right wing Super PAC, America Rising, which according to the Advocate, "tracks Democrats on the campaign trail, and circulates 'potentially damaging information.'"?

Whoever he, she, or in between, is, they must have a clear and ruthless battle plan in place and execute it with precision, and without hesitation in order to make a third Bush the 2016 Republican nominee.  And it won't involve an immediate tangle with Trump.

The obvious first act would be to money bomb, and take out John Kasich.  He is the clear Establishment alternative to JEB!, and is carefully laying the groundwork to challenge the Crown Prince in New Hampshire.  Stopping him with negative attacks and any plausible whisper campaigns now before he gets any traction is Job One for JEB!.

Then it will all depend on which alternatives remain after Kasich is dispatched.  Perhaps finish off Walker.  What JEB! really has to watch out for if Kasich and Walker can be marginalized is a late entry and push by Romney sometime next year if Trump, Cruz and Carson together, in a smaller field, consistently take over 50 percent of the votes in February and March primaries with JEB! as the sole default establishment candidate. JEB! would need to get at least 40-45 percent of the total primary/caucus votes cast between February and June in order to have a majority of the convention delegates in the GOP's rigged, and non-proportional overall, delegate allocation system.

Is Tim Miller up to being the next Atwater or Rove?  We shall see.

The Postmodern Prometheus (or if you prefer, God's Own Justice for the Grand Old Party of Bush)

Get on your knees and beg my forgiveness, Meygn, you ignorant slut!

The lightning bolts struck a rod leading into the laboratory lodged deep in the bowels of the ancestral compound perched on a stormy sea-swept cliff outside Kennebunkport. Electric current climbed briskly up the Jacob's Ladder as a cascade of sparks flew from the body strapped to the table.

"It's alive! It's alive!" Dr. Lee Atwater bellowed as his balding and hunched sidekick Karl Rove grunted in delighted assent. Slowly the table arked upward and the creature tied to it quickly opened it eyes and struggled to break free from its restraints.  First it broke one wrist strap, and then the next.  Then it pointed and glared sharply at its creators, and slowly entoned,  "Y-yyy--- You're Fired!"

So now the Republican Party of Bush is running into the woods for its very life, fleeing from it's own creation, and the simple-minded torch and pitchfork wielding "values" voters who were once faithful and loyals serfs for Dr. Atwater and Rove's benefactors now follow this monster as they loot and burn the compound. How will this end? Hopefully not well for the decadent, entitled family that subsidized this weird science.

13 Movie Characters Who Would Be A Better President Than JEB! Bush (They’ll kill anyone – rich or poor.)

In time, Amerika, like my father and brother,
you will call me MASTER!

(whatculture.com) - When Jeb Bush is inaugurated as America’s 45th President in January 2017, the ceremony will mark 8 years since his brother left office and 25 years since his father lost to Bill Clinton. This is fact, by the way – in true family tradition, the election has already been bought and paid for.

Surviving Bush III will be just like surviving In The Name Of The King III: The Last Mission – it requires courage and stamina, and most people won’t make it. But if America needs to swing to the right and usher in a new Dark Age, can’t we at least have a more flamboyant leader than the redneck son of a former CIA chief?

Certain alternatives are verboten: Dr Hannibal Lecter, for instance, would be considered “elitist” by old-time Republicans, and his accent wouldn’t go over at all. Adenoid Hynkel is too left wing, and a fan of ballet to boot. And let’s not get started on why Dr Frank N Furter isn’t suitable.

Here are the 13 men and women that could not only have mass appeal, but also destroy the planet with a smile and a pithy one-liner. Because if the world has to end, we want it to end in style.  Read more.

Largest Florida Corporate donates to JEB! Bush 2016 Campaign

(wctv.com) - The largest Florida corporate donor to a super political action committee backing former Gov. Jeb Bush's presidential run is NextEra Energy Inc. It owns utility giant Florida Power & Light.

In 2009, more than two years after leaving office, Bush penned an opinion piece urging regulators to approve the utility's proposed rate increase for Florida customers. Bush wrote in the Tallahassee Democrat: "With power, the cash registers open and close." Now, the publicly traded, Fortune 200 company is opening its own coffers to support Right to Rise [aka Rule]. NextEra contributed more than $1 million this year.

For Bush, NextEra's contributions could raise questions about how his support for the company factored into its financial support of him; whether he would face conflicts as president should the company undergo federal regulatory scrutiny.
