Keywords For Jeb Bush: Aristocracy, Environment, Health, Honor and
Integrity, Hypocrisy
BACKGROUND:
Brother
Jeb helped steal the presidency for Brother Dubya with a clever and illegal
felon purge, promising Georgie that he will "deliver Florida".
AMMO
(Anti-Environment,
Anti Public Health)
FACT:
Jeb pushed hard for a controversial bill which would allow untreated water
containing human and animal feces to be injected into underground water
zones, or aquifers, which are near wells where drinking water is stored.
Apparently the untreated water is supposed to stay separate from the aquifer's
drinking water supplies. And as we all know, things like this never go
wrong. The Environmental Prevarication Agency has indicated that the bill
is "not inconsistent" with Safe Drinking Water Act standards.
(Hypocrisy, Honor
and Integrity)
FACT:
"To suggest there should be no penalties for continued drug use is to stick
our heads in the sand," pontificated Governor Jeb Bush back in August last
year. Bush was at a luncheon honoring the 30th anniversary of the Center
for Drug Free Living, and was trying to explain why Florida judges should
not be forced to grant treatment or rehabilitation to non-violent first-
or second-time drug offenders. "Prevention is the key to reducing drug
abuse in our state," Bush said. "Preventing the illegal use of drugs, alcohol,
and tobacco among our young people now will save us a myriad of costs later
- social, economic and, of course, human." Then, his daughter, Noelle,
was arrested for illegally attempting to obtain the prescription drug Xanax.
Now, according to Leon County State Attorney William Meggs, fraudulently
obtaining a prescription is a felony punishable by up to five years in
prison. But Meggs went on to say, "The most likely course in this case
is probation or drug court," And apparently, if she goes to drug court,
"she most likely would be placed in a rehabilitation program or in counseling
with drug testing."
COMMENT:
Note, that this is the complete opposite of what her Dad has been advocating.
Seems Jeb just wants to put other people's kids in prison for non-violent
drug offences.

Hypocrisy) 05/2002
FACT:
Despite the fact that Jeb's daughter Noelle - who was recently arrested
for attempting to purchase the controlled substance Xanax using a fake
prescription - was sentenced to treatment rather than jail, he is still
fighting a proposition that would require that first- and second-time nonviolent
drug offenders be given treatment, as opposed to jail time. The proposal
includes consequences - in some cases more severe than the current drug
court penalties - if an offender fails the treatment program. However,
Jeb says, "This amendment would destroy the best drug court system in the
country,"
