Jeb Bush To Appear At Kentucky Fundraiser For Rand Paul

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Tea party favorite Rand Paul is getting help from a well-known Republican later this month, when Jeb Bush will attend a fundraiser for the Kentucky Senate candidate.

Paul's campaign said Friday that the former Florida governor will attend the fundraiser July 26 at a private home in the Louisville area. Paul campaign manager Jesse Benton said tickets will start at $1,000 per person.

Bush served two terms as Florida's governor, and he is the son and brother of former Republican presidents.

Paul portrayed himself as a political outsider in winning the Republican Senate nomination in May, beating establishment favorite Trey Grayson. Since then, Paul has mingled with Republican insiders at a recent Washington fundraiser, while still criticizing the government-backed bailouts some of them supported.

Save the photos in case Jeb ever gets national ambitions...they will be so useful once Rand Paul has had more time to make more gaffes

No more Bush, please, no more. One was too much, two was freak of nature, three is the end of USA.

I'm suprised Jeb isn't supporting Jack Conway in this race. Conway is a Democrat who was willing to cross party lines and stand with Jeb's brother (Dubya) during one of the most critical decisions in our nation's history:

"I support [Bush] on Iraq"
"I support [Bush] in the area of foreign affairs"

We need more Democrats like Conway that are willing put aside party differences and work together with the Republicans when our nation needs them to the most.

Isn't there anyone out there for the Republicans besides these retreads? At least Obama was a fresh face with ideals when he ran. The Republicans have no fresh faces and certainly no ideals; hence, Jeb Bush.

I have this sinking feeling Karl Rove's machinations toward 2012 have started....

If it weren't for Governor Jeb and hanging chads his brother would not have been elected President. What a different world it would be.

He and Rove are working together now so expect a major Neocon run for the White House and a New World Order again.

Here comes Jebbie exposing the Bush clan as a part of the Plutocracy, as if millions of us didn't already know it. It's time now for the Dupes on HuffPost to come on strong with their cheering and clamor for the Puppet Bush and his sidekicks Rove and Cheney the Dick to join the festivities.
