Jeb Bush for prez "08"

Rex - I'm only a fan of Richardson's when he's saying nice things about Dubya Smile

If you'd heard him yesterday, you'd have thought he was a neo neocon LOL.

Rex - a poll in MA yesterday showed the people there preferred Hillary over Kerry (51% Hil/32% Kerry), so even his home state doesn't think he's electable. He's pathetic.

I hope Lash's Dems list is accurate, but if you caught New Mexico's Bill Richardson on the Today Show with Katie Couric yesterday, you'd swear he's running in '08. He couldn't say enough about how much credit GWB deserves for the positive changes in the ME. Of course, Katie was nearly apoplectic, but he persevered LOL! 'Twas awesome, even if too little, too late.

Given the importance of the Hispanic vote, he'd make the GOP work really hard, methinks. A Clinton/Richardson ticket, perhaps?

This statement in and of itself probably does render my, kind of spur of the moment comment which I should have thought twice of, dumb as JW put it.

However I was remembering the Dean thread and all the hang up with how the GOP perceives the democrats to be condescending towards blacks and if they just would give the GOP another chance they would realize it.

I was merely wondering why people can't just listen to a person without making those distinctions of their race in connection with how it plays out in votes but rather on if they are a person with something to offer the public.

But all in all, never mind.

Condi Rice running would be an interesting phenomenon. Quite apart from her other unique attributes, she's unmarried. Can anyone name the last President who was single? I know there have been some (or one) but not in the past few centuries.

As for Jeb Bush, whatever. He comes across as far brighter than his bro, but aren't you Republicans ready for someone new?

Chester Arthur was unwed, wasn't he?

D'art - I'd love to see Jeb run, but he won't. No, he will not. He said so and Bush's don't lie.

Ah, nothin' like being divorced from reality, eh?

Although, to be fair, Reagan denied AIDS was terribly serious in it's early stages, and now Frist isn't' too sure whether AIDS can or cannot be transmitted by, um, "kissing..."

Quote:

George: You're a doctor. Do you think tears and sweat can transmit HIV"

Frist: I don't know...I can tell you..

George: You don't know?

Frist: I can tell you things like,like..condoms..

George: You believe that tears and sweat might be able to transmit aids?

So, yeah, I guess you could say there's a certain Reagan-like aura surrounding "Frist." There's also a Bush aura surrounding Frist, as he seems to not know certain things about his job.

In the end of the interview Frist said tears/sweat were not that much of a risk but still a risk aside from abstinence. I think that this is something he has put allot of thought into. I saw no fault in the interview.

Thanks for the video link it worked well. I am even more convinced that Frist could be a great prez and maybe Jeb could be VP for a term or two.

Well I have never seen that side of Richardson yet but I will keep an eye out for the phenomenon. Smile

Then he should put more thought into it, because there is ZERO evidence that AIDS can be transmitted through saliva or tears. Why, do you ask? Because it is a bloodborne pathogen.

But I'm sure Dr. Frist knew that, right?

It was actually Buchanan who was unwed.

True. Arthur was married, but his wife (Ellen Lewis Herndon Arthur ) died the year before he became president. His first lady (Mary Arthur McElory) was his sister. Interesting ....

Has Condi even dated? Not, of course, as if there'd be anything wrong if she hasn't...

What is it with her husband? Does he have something to gain or is he just plain evil?

Evil? How would he be evil?

It's the good vs. evil school of thought. Life is so simple when every moral choice comes down to that...

People. Don't you think there is such a thing as good and evil? Everything doesn't HAVE to fall in to those categories--but you act as though they don't exist.

This man is trying to off his wife, and her parents desperately want to care for her.

How do you even see another side to this story?

Please defend him.

Um, according to him (her husband) she specifically told him to let her go.

I wouldn't want to continue life in such a fashion. It isn't life, it's existence.

If you got really sick, to where you couldn't think or communicate your feelings, and you told your husband that 'if it gets really bad, just unplug me,' what would you expect him to do?

THink a little before you label people as 'evil.' You act as if killing her is an 'evil' act, when many would see it as an act of mercy....

He is trying to bring closure to his relationship with his ex-wife who has been brain dead for 15 years. 15 years!

The vessal lying in that bed is no longer Teri, but nothing more than corpse being forced to stay alive.

She smiles and reacts to her parents. She's not even in the neighborhood of vegetability.

(If she was, I'd agree with you.)
