The domain was purchased back in 2008 by C.J. Phillips and Charlie Rainwater, a gay couple in Oregon who are using the Jeb Bush site name to further awareness on LGBT issues.
The self-described "bear couple" spoke out on The Rachel Maddow Show as to why they purchased the domain. "Living in Austin, there was a weird convergence of when the other Bush was coming out of office and President Obama coming in, and Texas passing some really strict legislature that put us in a bind, C.J said. "Charlie and I were talking like, 'Wouldn't it be funny to use Jeb Bush's name to educate people about LGBT issues?' We got on the Internet, and two minutes later, we bought the domain for eight bucks."
C.J. continued, "We'd really like to use it as a platform for letting people learn about real LGBT faces, what we're really like. So many times in our past we've heard people ask us questions because they don't know another gay couple. They don't realize that two guys who look like us, big ol' bears, are a couple."
And it looks like these guys aren't interested in selling the domain name either. "Every year it's become available, we renew it," Charlie told Rachel Maddow.
Unfortunately for Bush, http://www.jebbushforpresident.net is also unavailable. Uh-oh, Jeb, whatcha gonna do?
