Perhaps, just perhaps, Jeb Bush’s non-endorsement in the 2012 Republican Primary is due to the fact that he may be contemplating a brokered convention and being drafted by the concerned GOP Party, of the distinct possibility that neither Gingrich nor Romney can usurp Obama’s 2012 victory.

However, if I am correct about Jeb’s thoughts that would be a horrible night-mare for the good-hearted American people who had to live through the torture, financial dismay, the wantonness and capriciousness from Brother George W. Bush.

On face value Jeb comes off like a successful Governor, but beneath the surface, he is no different than brothers; Neil Bush and George W. Bush when it comes to money. Jeb Bush was a vital part of the Savings and Loan Scandal.

There are several ways in which the Bush family plays into the Savings and Loan scandal, which involves not only many members of the Bush family but also many other politicians that are still in office and were part of the Bush Jr. administration.  Jeb Bush, George Bush Sr., and his son Neil Bush have all been implicated in the Savings and Loan Scandal, which cost American tax payers over $1.4 TRILLION dollars (note that this is about one quarter of our national debt at the time).

Between 1981 and 1989, when George Bush finally announced that there was a Savings and Loan Crisis to the world, the Reagan/Bush administration worked to cover up Savings and Loan problems by reducing the number and depth of examinations required of S & Ls as well as attacking political opponents who were sounding early alarms about the S & L industry.  Industry insiders were aware of significant S & L problems as early 1986 that they felt would require a bailout.  This information was kept from the media until after Bush had won the 1988 elections.

Jeb Bush defaulted on a $4.56 million loan from Broward Federal Savings inSunrise,Florida. After federal regulators closed the S & L, the office building that Jeb used the $4.56 million to finance was reappraised by the regulators at $500,000, which Bush and his partners paid. The taxpayers had to pay back the remaining 4 million plus dollars.

Neil Bush was the most widely targeted member of the Bush family by the press in the S &L scandal.  Neil became director of Silverado Savings and Loan at the age of 30 in 1985.  Three years later the institution was belly up at a cost of $1.6 billion to tax payers to bail out.

Save that of former George H. W. Bush Sr. the Bush Brothers are fraudulent impersonators of “patriotism,” when in fact they have been committing “legal-larceny” most of their lives.

January 27, 2012 — WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says she wants to step off the “high wire of American politics” after two decades and is again tamping down speculation that she might stay in government if President Barack Obama wins a second term.

Clintontold State Department employees on Thursday that she is ready for a rest and is paying no attention to the Republican presidential candidate debates. She said she wants to find out just how tired she is after working flat out as first lady, senator, aspiring presidential candidate and finally the top U.S. diplomat.

“I have made it clear that I will certainly stay on until the president nominates someone and that transition can occur” if Obama wins re-election, she told a town hall meeting. “But I think after 20 years, and it will be 20 years, of being on the high wire of American politics and all of the challenges that come with that, it would be probably a good idea to just find out how tired I am.”

But, she appeared to leave the door open for a possible eventual return, adding to laughter from the crowd that “everyone always says that when they leave these jobs.” As secretary of state,Clintonis barred from partisan politics and she acknowledged that it is unusual not to be participating in this election season. But, she said she is enjoying being away from the fray and hasn’t watched any of the GOP debates.

“It is a little odd for me to be totally out of an election season,” she said. “But, you know, I didn’t watch any of those debates.”Clintonsaid she expected the campaign for November’s election to “suck up a lot of the attention” normally devoted to foreign policy issues but she joked that that might actually help the State Department.

“The good news is maybe we can even get more done if they are not paying attention, so just factor that in.”

The Republican definition of “conservative” should be: odoriferous, inhumane, vultures, heartless-monsters, self-righteous, unequivocal liars, and everything that is parasitic!

The GOP Presidential Candidates have created a fictional version of President Obama and they are not running against Obama, but rather, the “fictional version” that they have created in their own sick minds.

Their Colleagues in the House of Representatives, Senate, Governorships, Fox’s misnomer that impersonate NEWS, and most of all, the extreme right wing of the Republican base, are as delusionary as the Republican Candidates themselves.  

At the inception of their campaign for the Republican Nomination and into the months that followed, there were TEN Candidates seeking their party’s nomination. Like wounded animals hemorrhaging, to date, SIX have fallen from grace and returned to their Kennels, licking their wounds.

From the very first debate when there were nine little men and one little woman, (I speak of their minds) it seemed apparent that they took a litmus test and agreed on a single statement that permeated out of their mouths that have been said and continues to be repeated: “Anyone of us on this stage can do a better job than President Obama.” O really! Remember Michele Bachman’s winning of the silly “straw-poll” that lead her to say; “Barack Obama would be a one term President and I am going to replace him and be your next President and take back our country.” Shocking, positively shocking, isn’t it? I did not know that anyone had taken our country from us, did you?

The Fictional President they have created according to these deranged people have taken our country and ran up a fifteen trillion dollar debt; his policies have cost us fourteen million jobs; his foreign policy of apology has weaken our Nation; Obama is America’s largest food-stamp President; and yes, they go on and one into the abyss. Had I not have a mind of my own to dissect fact from fiction, I could have easily become one of the nut cases that support these people.

FACT: During the last year (2008) of former President George W. Bush’s Presidency, we were losing 750,000 jobs per month and that continued into January 2009 when Obama was sworn in as President. Even then Bush’s policies were still in effect and it took Obama several months to implement his Policies and since June of 2009 to the present time, job loses stopped and we have been gaining jobs every month. Of course it is not as fast as we would like it to be, but it is much better than what is was under Bush.

As for the Economy, our entire financial system had crumbed by September 2008, due to Bush’s irresponsible invasion of Iraq when we were already actively at War in Afghanistan, and if that wasn’t bad enough, Bush and the Republican controlled House and Senate passed two enormous egregious tax cuts that only favored America’s top 2%.

When George W. Bush left office on January 20, 2009, he and his cronies had spent the entire surplus and added five trillion dollars to our National Debt and in addition, the two wars and the two tax cuts weren’t paid for, and yes without a doubt we were heading into the abyss to become another Russia when the Soviet Union collapsed. And yet, these parasitic vultures, these WANT-TO-BE-PRESIDENT, with impunity, they exclaim each and every day, thatAmerica’s troubles are solely the fault of President Obama.

The only thing that is sadder than these morons that seek the Presidency is the American people that are following them down the road of perdition! I say to you America, wake up, think about your life prior to 2001 and then meditate upon Bush’s eight years as President with his Republican House and Senate, and be at least truthful to thine own self and admit, “we were screwed, tattooed and blued,” by the same people you reinstalled in Office in 2010 and that you are entertaining to again take control of the Presidency!

In your contemplation, meditate upon God and not the divisiveness of all of the MAN MADE RELIGIONS that have dogged us with impunity, since the inception of man!

In the clutch of pains that follow me

From my head down to my sole,

I wonder what life holds’ for me?

In the darkness of my world

Despite the pangs I would not complain

Even when I pine,

And though at times I feel disdain

I know, I am wholly Thine

Beyond this world of wrath and tears

Looms, but the Heavens’ above,

With freedom from pains or fears

And the bounty of my Father’s love

So, in the midst of my circumstance

In this blessed evening shade,

I’ll live by faith and not by chance

Strong in heart and unafraid!

If Mitt Romney wins the Republican Nomination and goes on to win the Presidency, the George W. Bush eight horrible years would perhaps look pristine compared to what we would have to endure for at least four years.

Mitt Romney, Mr. Slice and Dice of Jobs; the Vandalized Capitalist who has committed morale larceny as CEO of Bain Capital; The Chameleon of Chameleons that has taken every side of every issue solely for Political and Financial Gain; The most Untrustworthy Politician; he Romney would be in charge of our lives, and if that wouldn’t be bad enough, these two people with him in the Photo, you can be sure that they would be part of the Romney Administration, along with all of the resurrected Nut-Cases, and they would place us on a path of no-return, into deep and unforgiving waters.

John McCain, (Senator) – He is the man that wanted to be President that advocated that he would keep our Soldiers inIraq for fifty to 100 years. John McCain is a War Hero and a Prisoner of War inVietnam and I would always respect him for his service toAmerica, but make no mistake, John McCain is a “war-monger!” McCain would involve us in every conflict all over the world. McCain complains about the National Debt but yet he wanted us to keep our Soldiers in Iraq after they have been there for eight years at a cost in lives of 4,500; wounded, tens of thousands; mental problems thirty thousand and counting; cost in Dollars – A Trillion Dollars and counting.

John Bolton (FormerUS Ambassador to the UN in the George W. Bush Administration) who was one of the dysfunction architect that got us into the 2003 invasion ofIraq. This lunatic is highly critical of President Obama’s foreign Policy, even though under Bolton and Bush’s stewardship, they mangled both Wars; couldn’t containNorth Korea;Iran;Libya and the other despots that have fallen over the past year.  

Richard Haas, one of George W. Bush’s advisors, advised former President George W. Bush that the invasion of Iraq would be totally completed in six days. (He was aligning the 2003 Iraq pending invasion to Israel 1967 SIX DAY WAR, in which Israel was the Victor)

These people are the supporters of Mitt Romney along with so many others that are responsible for the financial catastrophe from 2001-2008. If Romney gets his hands on our finances, he along with Wall Street and the financial “prostitutes” that raped and pilferageAmerica’s wealth and incinerated our Housing Market, would do worst than the Bush years.

America, you are a good and decent people but you have been asleep and complacent. Yes, you are indeed complacent because you reinstalled the Republicans in the Mid-Term 2010 Elections and placed them in control of the House of Representatives. Just look at their record for “all” of 2011. They, the Republican House and Senate fought the Obama Administration every step of the way by protecting the upper 2%, WHILE SCREWING THE OTHER 98%,  every which way possible! Just to approve the renewal of the Tax Cuts at the end of 2011 for 160,000,000 hard working Americans, they did everything possible to deny you that right and in the end, they only renewed it for two months. You can be sure at this very moment they are tapping every soothsayer to find ways to “screw” you out of extending your Tax Cuts, that is due for renewal at the end of February, 2012. Ask yourself, why couldn’t they extend your Tax Cuts for 2012 as they should have?

I am no “mouth-piece” for Obama or anyone else, but I say to you, install another Republican to the White House in 2012; allow the House of Representatives to remain in control by the Republicans; and leave the Republicans to hold on to at lest forty-one seats that would allow them to filibuster every benefit you rightly deserve, and perish you would!

Or, allow President Obama to complete what he started and you would have a future for yourself; your children, and the generations to come. All of the nonsense that are being spewed that Obama ran our country into the ground is utter nonsense. Remember, the Republicans initiated both wars; The Republicans authorized two irresponsible Tax Cuts; The Republicans ran every thing from 2001 thru 2008 and left us with two unfinished wars; a collapse financial system; job loses in the millions that ran at a 800,000 job loss from the inception of 2008 until June of 2009. Since June of 2009 when Obama’s Policies were implemented, the hemorrhaging of job loses stopped and we have been creating jobs since then. Of course more jobs are needed, but when you consider where we were in 2008 to where we are today, one would have to be blind, dumb and stupid to think that we are worse off! The Dow Jones on December 31 2008 closed at 8776.39, as of Friday January 13, 2012 The Dow Jones Closed at 12,422.06.

O! America! Do not allow yourself to be duped by the Republicans phantasmagoric rationales and internecine ideas for which they are advocating with impunity, just to have you become more emotionally disturbed than you already have!

The U S Supreme Court January 21, 2010 (5-4) decision, that struck down McCain-Finegold Campaign Finance, allowed money to further corrupt our democracy, hence the result of the now damming out-of-control “SUPER-PACS!”

Brushing aside more than a century-old understanding and overruling two important precedents, the bitterly divided U S Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision January 21, 2010, the highly charged “right-wing;” politically charged Justices allowed Politics, rather than what is best for our Country, to make this most unfortunate decision. Using the First Amendment to the Constitution as “cover,” the right-wing court ruled that the Government may not ban political spending by Corporations in candidates’ elections.

The Dissenters said that “allowing corporate money to flood the political marketplace will corrupt democracy.” This statement became fact when the 2010 Mid-Term Elections were held, and it has become even more parasitic in this year’s Presidential Election.

Just look at the result of Congress Achievements in 2011, and if that wasn’t already bad enough, the GOP Presidential Candidates are using “SUPER-PACS” to denigrate their rivals with not just misnomers, but “out-right lies,” such as Mitt Romney’s Super Pac did to Newt Gingrich. Be sure and know I totally disagree with Gingrich on just about everything, but on the other hand, because of the Supreme Court’s January 21, 2010 decision, total out-right lies were fed to the people ofIowaon behalf of Mitt Romney. When Romney was confronted about what the SUPER PAC was doing in his name, he took the position that there wasn’t anything he could do about the lies that were being spewed, but now that he has come under attack inSouth Carolina, he is whining like the sniffling odoriferous he is!

But as the saying goes; “be careful what you wish for because you might get it and it would sooner rather than later, return to bite you in the ass!” The effort to overturn the well thought out McCain-Finegold Finance Bill was propelled by the Republicans and their cohorts. However, now that it has bitten them they are complaining how unjust it is!

President Obama issued this statement subsequent to the Supreme Court’s ruling;

“With its ruling today, the Supreme Court has given a green light to a new stampede of special interest money in our politics. It is a major victory for Big Oil, Wall Street Banks, Health Insurance Companies and the other powerful interests that marshal their power every day inWashingtonto drown out the voices of everyday Americans.”

South Carolina may be fertile ground for attacks on Mitt Romney’s corporate takeover record. Romney and his Investors made billion of dollars in their “vandalize form of Capitalism of creative destruction, plant closings and fired workers!”

South Carolinahas suffered a long string of shuttered textile plants and other workplaces. At 9.9 percent, it has one of the nation’s highest unemployment rates. And like its fellowDeep Southstates, its Republican electorate has a disproportionate number of blue-collar workers and non-college graduates.

That combination could make South Carolina a good test of efforts by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Gov. Rick Perry to paint the GOP presidential front-runner as a heartless venture capitalist who fired workers while reaping big profits during his time at Bain Capital in the 1980s and ’90s. Those attacks may be starting to resonate.

“I don’t like it,” said Rhonda Jones, 50, a Republican who showed up here Friday to see Perry at the Squat ‘n ‘Gobble cafe. The stay-at-home mom talked about how Romney’s record at Bain “is what concerns me” and said she will vote for either Perry or Gingrich. Romney is a nonstarter.

“He was money-hungry himself,” Jones said, adding that she knows several unemployed people. “He wasn’t looking out for people.”South Carolina’s Jan. 21 primary may mark the last real chance for his rivals to stop Romney’s drive to the nomination.

President Barack Obama’s aides have made it clear they will hammer Romney on Bain if he becomes the nominee. Obama won’t try to win GOP-heavySouth Carolinain November. But independent voters’ reaction to the Bain-related attacks may give his campaign some hints of the issue’s potency nationwide.

An array of conservative leaders and party officials are denouncing Gingrich and Perry for the Bain attacks, saying they sound like Democrats attacking free enterprise. Stung, the two candidates softened their criticisms in campaign stops throughoutSouth Carolinathis week.

But they didn’t drop them altogether. And a well-financed group backing Gingrich is airing a foreboding TV ad here that shows displaced workers blaming Romney and Bain Capital for their job losses. If enough GOP voters like Jones see it, Romney may face rougher sledding here than he did inIowaandNew Hampshire, says Merle Black of Emory University, who has written extensively on Southern politics.

“This is really going to be a challenge for him,” Black said. When low-income and low-education Republicans hear the criticisms of Bain’s record, he said, “It might repel them from Romney.” Generally speaking, Republicans are far more inclined than Democrats to accept capitalism’s rough edges. These can include the so-called “creative destruction” of plant closings and fired workers in the drive for greater efficiency, which can lead to long-term growth and eventual hiring.

“Capitalism without failure isn’t capitalism,” said former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, another presidential hopeful, as he defended Romney’s record at Bain this week. Some Republicans who came to see Perry on Friday weren’t bothered by Bain’s mixed record of success and job growth with the companies it invested in.

“That’s capitalism, as it should be,” said Joe Belinske, 78, a retiree who splits his time betweenOhioandSouth Carolina. But there might be less tolerance of that view among some South Carolina Republicans.

Criticism of Bain’s actions is chiefly aimed at blue-collar workers who live in fear of layoffs hitting themselves or their family. In many Northern and Midwestern states with significant union presence, that generally describes Democrats.

In the South, however, the long-running realignment of the two parties has moved millions of working-class whites into the GOP. In 1980 presidential exit polls, 49 percent of non-college whites in the South said they were Democrats, while 29 percent were Republicans. In 2008, those numbers were almost reversed: 26 percent Democrats, 47 percent Republicans.

No other region saw such a dramatic shift. One reason involves race. Southern whites from every income level began fleeing the Democratic Party in the 1960s, and now the realignment is virtually complete. The GOP is an overwhelmingly white party nationwide. In theDeep South, the Democratic Party is home to blacks and a comparatively small number of white liberals.

Romney, a multimillionaire former governor ofMassachusetts, is fairly easy to caricature as a tycoon to blue-collar Republicans, Black said. “There might be some irritation with someone like Romney, who is not seen as on their side,” he said.

Early in the week, Perry accused Romney of “vulture capitalism.” Romney notes that some companies thrived and expanded after Bain restructured them, a process that created jobs, rewarded investors and enriched Bain’s executives. A Wall Street Journal examination concluded that most of Bain’s profits during Romney’s tenure came from 10 deals. Another 22 percent of Bain’s reorganization targets, however, declared bankruptcy within eight years.

One not-so-rosy story took place inGaffney,S.C.A photo frame factory owned by a Bain-controlled company closed in 1992, just four years after it opened. The 100 jobs lost are small by national standards. But the episode brings a close-to-home feel to the anti-Romney ads on TV here.

Romney is responding with his own ad that says he helped create and run a company that invested in struggling businesses, expanded new ones, and rebuilt old ones, creating thousands of jobs. Andrew Kohut, president of thePewResearchCenter, says all candidates are eyeing “disaffected” voters, who may be even more important in the fall general election. Pew describes these voters as “financially stressed and cynical about politics. Most lean to the Republican Party,” although they tend to support “increased government aid to the poor.”

“They are wary of all institutions,” Kohut said in an interview. “They’re suspicious of fat cats.” That’s the sentiment the pro-Gingrich group is trying to tap with the ad depicting Romney as a Wall Street tycoon who treats small towns as profit sources and little else.

Obama did comparatively well among these disaffected voters in 2008. But they swung heavily to the GOP in the 2010 mid-term elections. Gingrich and Perry hope they will turn against Romney on Jan. 21. If Romney survives, then Democrats will try the Bain-bashing with a larger audience next fall.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joined Defense Secretary Leon Panetta Thursday in condemning a video that appears to show U.S. Marines urinating on the corpses of suspected Taliban members.

“I want to express my total dismay at the story concerning our Marines, who I have the highest respect and admiration for, but I share completely the views expressed by Secretary Panetta earlier today,” said Mrs. Clinton at a press conference Thursday January 12, 2012.

“I join him in condemning the deplorable behavior that is reflected in this video. It is absolutely inconsistent with American values, with the standards of behavior we expect from our Military Personal,” she added.

Panetta ordered the Marine Corps and the top American Commander inAfghanistan, Gen. John Allen, to investigate the incident.

Mrs. Clinton said that anyone found to have been involved in the acts shown in the video or to have known about it, should be “held fully accountable.”

The Candidates, Their Republican Party, Their Policies, from 2001- 2008 that screwed us without even “Petroleum Jelly,” wants us to bed-over so that they can screw us again!

Question is; are we that dumb to allow this to happen again? As the saying goes, “screw me once, shame on you; screw me twice, shame on me, and if hurts when I sit I have no one to blame but myself.”

January 20, 2001, George W. Bush and a Republican controlled House and Senate took control of our Country at a time when prosperity and peace were flourishing, and by 2007, they squandered trillions of dollars by allowing Wall Street through fraudulent means, cripple the Housing Market that cost us and the world in excess of SEVENTY-TWO TRILLION DOLLARS – $72,000,000,000,000.00.

We were justified in going to War inAfghanistan, but Bush and his Lunatic-Lieutenants got us intoIraq; issued two major tax cuts that benefitted the upper 2%; crashed and burnt the hard-working middle class into poverty; and the poor went from poverty to dire straight poverty and then some!

By the time George W. Bush left office millions of Americans had lost their jobs; the financial markets were in disarray and on the brink of collapse, and if all of this wasn’t bad enough, on January 20, 2009, they left us with a National Debt in excess of TEN TRILLION DOLLARS.

Listening to the CRAZY WANT-TO-BE-PRESIDENTS advocate that President Obama ran up a FIFTEEN TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT and in the same sentence espouse God, Country and Patriotism, one has to wonder if this year’s Republican Candidates have been and continues to be on large dosages of LSD! If by chance they did not take LSD, then I contend that they are stoned out of their frigging minds on some other form of neurotic drugs that placed them all in a paroxysm.
