Why do you really think there have been so many GOP candidates every 4 years?<\/h2>\n

SOTN<\/a> Editor’s Note:<\/strong>
\nMake no mistake about the reality that Jeb Bush was meant to enter the Republican race for very good reasons. \u00a0However, the primary reason is far different from what many might think.<\/p>\n

You see, as long as there have been presidential campaigns there have been extraordinary opportunities to fleece the naive voters out of millions of dollars—legally!<\/p>\n

\nThink about it, there is perhaps no better way to raise tons of cash in the span of a year for making a whole boatload of patently false promises than by running an election campaign. \u00a0We’re\u00a0talking about the\u00a0ultimate con where everyone is in on it … except the gullible electorate. \u00a0These candidates take advantage of the stellar opportunity every 4 years of doling out the donors money to everyone\u00a0and their brother … their sisters, their cousins, their\u00a0<\/em>friends, their affiliated businesses, etc. \u00a0Who do you really think gets all the campaign contracts to conduct “opposition research”? \u00a0Just who are all the newly registered PIs? \u00a0Who do you think is spending ungodly amounts of money in Vegas … on your dime? \u00a0Even the ‘legitimate’ contracts all go to friends and\u00a0family for “consultation, clubbing, advertising, and valets”! \u00a0Look it, we’re not\u00a0saying’ it, the NYT is reporting it in the\u00a0respectable article posted below. \u00a0This ritual\u00a0misappropriation of funds occurs right on time every four years and yet few have a clue. Go figure … … … out your losses before you ever contribute again to this perfect example of real\u00a0organized crime.\u00a0<\/i>
\n______________________________________________________________<\/p>\n

This is what presidential campaign politics is really all about for the great majority of candidates. \u00a0They get to raise LOTs of money — very quickly — with relatively little effort.<\/p>\n

We’re talking about a real shady scheme here that has sucked and siphoned millions from people who have not a clue.<\/p>\n

Presidential campaigns in particular are often successful at conning millions of people, and groups of people, out of their hard-earned money. \u00a0And for what? \u00a0To be forever deceived by the candidates whose only allegiance is to the biggest donors. \u00a0For real!<\/p>\n

There are various and sundry facets to these legalized scams, but rather than bore you with the details, the following expos\u00e9 by The New York Times delineates the fine details of the Jeb Bush Campaign scam. \u00a0His campaign takes the prize of election year flimflams.<\/p>\n

How Jeb Bush Spent $130 Million Running for President With Nothing to Show for It<\/h1>\n

By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE<\/span> and <\/span>SARAH COHEN
\nThe New York Times<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When Jeb Bush<\/a> formally entered the presidential campaign in June, there was already more money behind him than every other Republican candidate combined. When he suspended his campaign<\/a> on Saturday night in South Carolina, Mr. Bush had burned through the vast majority of that cash without winning a single state. It may go down as one of the least successful campaign spending binges in history. Here is Mr. Bush\u2019s story, as told by his ledger:<\/p>\n

Positive Advertising: $84 Million<\/h4>\n

When Mr. Bush finally did get in the race, he needed to reintroduce himself to the Republican electorate. After all, it had been eight years since the end of his final term as Florida\u2019s governor, and he had spent the intervening period as a philanthropist, consultant and investment banker. His campaign and a \u201csuper PAC<\/a>\u201d supporting him spent heavily on sunny advertising spots in the hopes of announcing Mr. Bush to the post-Tea Party<\/a> Republican Party<\/a> as a credentialed conservative.<\/p>\n

Clubbing: $94,100<\/h4>\n

Instead of spending last winter on the hustings of Iowa and New Hampshire, Mr. Bush held off, using the first half of 2015 to raise money in places like New York, Chicago, Texas and Florida. His goal: Raise enough money for a super PAC<\/a> to scare other candidates \u2014 especially those with a similar political profile \u2014 out of the race. Over the entire campaign, Mr. Bush\u2019s team racked up tens of thousands of dollars in dinner and event tabs at the Yale Club, the Union League Club of Chicago, Nantucket\u2019s Westmore Club, and more than two dozen other haunts of the well heeled and racquetball-inclined.<\/p>\n

Valets: $15,800<\/h4>\n

Donors\u2019 cars don\u2019t park themselves. With an aggressive fund-raising schedule and several major donor gatherings, Mr. Bush and the super PAC, Right to Rise, incurred a proportional parking tab.<\/p>\n
