What’s Jeb Raising $1.9 Million For?

Jeb Bush isn’t saying what he plans to use the $1.9 million he’s amassed in a tax-exempt 501(c)(4) organization. The Foundation for Florida’s Future web site is decorated with apples and glowing headlines about how great the FCAT (Florida Comprehensive Acheivement Test) is, so we would assume it has something to do with education. Not necessarily. The Palm Beach Post says the fund it can be whatever Jeb wants it to be.

Despite its vague goals, Bush faithful — those who have been well rewarded for loyalty by various Bush family members — continue to give generously

Bush has since been coy about what the foundation will fund.

“No plans yet,” he said last week.

Despite its vague goals, Bush faithful — those who have been well rewarded for loyalty by various Bush family members — continue to give generously to the fund.

…donors, including a host of developers and construction industry-related magnates from around the state, say they don’t care how he spends it.

…Jacksonville engineer Richard Blankenship, who served Bush’s brother, President George W. Bush, as ambassador to the Bahamas for two years, said he has given the foundation at least $185,000 over its lifetime.

… The top donation, $500,000, was given by Tampa-based Cast-Crete Corp., which makes building materials and is headed by conservative activist Ralph Hughes.

The Geo Group, a Boca Raton-based company that runs private prisons, donated $100,000. Its major shareholder is George Zoley, a Florida Atlantic University graduate Bush appointed to the university’s board of trustees.

Of all the headlines on the FFF web site about the FCAT, there were no links to the most recent story, about how the people employed by a private company to grade the test are not educators but instead, pizza delivery drivers and movie theater popcorn technicians. Read on for more.

Some time in 2007, Cheney “resigns” for “health reasons.” Bush nominates Rice, but the Democrats destroy her (rightly so, but the Republicans will use it as wedge issue to gain black votes) and Bush pulls her back and nominates Jeb as VP.

It’s really a brilliant “Rovian” plan.

Last paragraph. What does Georgia say?

How could I be so blind not to see that possible scenario? This keeps the aristocracy going another eight years and likely a slam dunk, with the Choicepoint, NSA and Diebold alliance.

It is pure payola!
The voting machines and other tactics have rendered elections void and pointless; face it it’s over!
