I hope that was a joke. You must have amnesia or be a kid if you think the bush was better than ANY president let alone obama. I don't remember Obama causing a great recession but i do remember an economic recovery which the repubs are now trying to take credit for. Anyway, no one named bush will ever become president.

Hillary has a much better chance at being the 1st women President. Warren can be the 2nd though.

share with us what hillary stands for
hopefully for something other than being a female politician
that absence of a platform, and diminished credibility, and nonexistent charisma are the reasons she cannot be elected if the GOP runs an electable candidate this time out

The polls say differently. I believe she will run on a platform similar to her husbands who will help immensely in her election. The fact that Bill will be in the Whitehouse with her will help with those that are still weak kneed about a female leader. Meanwhile Jeb will run as GW II. I wouldn't rule out GW even campaigning with him. Jeb is his brothers biggest cheerleader.

BHO has only recently brought unemployment down to a level that was the average under GWB. GWB achieved victory in Iraq; BHO threw it away.

So you support Bush's invasion of Iraq too? Jeb is the same as his brother on foreign policy. He will get us into more quagmires that make us less safe.

No, which is why I've repeatedly posted on here that I didn't support the invasion of Iraq. Funny how that works.

if anything, he would run as GHWB II

why would he even want his brother to be anywhere around
if you noticed, dubya was banished from the past two elections ... and someone with the same surname was not even running those times

Jeb is his brothers biggest cheerleader.

and if he were not supportive of his own brother, what would we think of him then
doesn't mean he is the same person as dubya
and hope like hell he can actually pronounce 'nuclear'

I get it, by saying you would vote for his brother who whole heartedly supports the invasion to this day, you are making you comment on voter stupidity seem even more accurate. It's called a self full-filling prophecy.

1. The question is not what her parents wanted. It is what she wanted as was communicated to her spouse. If I am ever brain dead I do not want to be kept on life support simply for the benefit of my parents. Instead I would want any settlements related to my condition and subsequent death to go to my wife and kids.

2. The problem is indeed that Jeb Bush intervened in a personal medical issue that should have been left to the spouse, parents, and in their case the courts as well.

The husband was pretty broke up about it all. Sure did look like he had somebodies best interest at heart.

The problem schmoblem. You couldnt give half a **** and neither will anyone else about this. I expect two years of you, Pete, and people just like you to wring your hands over every prominent GOP candidate. Oh LAWS...he jaywalked once...HOW on EARTH can you trust him? Once he tipped 19% instead of 20%...he hates the workers. Meanwhile you will bob and swallow anything about whatever democrat ends up being the party candidate. Its going to be a fun 2 years.

What do Democrats usually run on? It is not so difficult to figure out. Supporting the middle class, protecting Social Security and Medicare etc.
Those that fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. Jeb has that problem. If he is his "own man" why can't he disagree with his brother? The fact is he is a neocon just like GW and nothing like his father who disagreed vehemently with the Iraq invasion.

Bush did not achieve victory in iraq and in fact said that his biggest mistake was that he wasn't prepared for the iraq war. He also failed to catch bin laden which obama did. Bush is probably the worst foreign policy president in US history. He came in at peach time and manufactured turmoil in the middle east by using propaganda to get us into iraq.

You make really stupid posts. I never said I was voting for Jeb Bush. And no, he doesn't "whole heartedly" support the Iraq invasion to this day. In fact, he refuses to discuss it.

Keep up that line of attack. You'll look increasingly ridiculous as the campaign continues.

you answered my question with a question

i only conclude that you have no clue what hillary will run on (excepting 2 for 1 with bill in the white house as first gentleman)

and other than repeating that jeb is like his stupid brother, you have offered us nothing compelling to accept your assertion

BHO and Biden both proclaimed victory in Iraq, then BHO threw it away. Bin Laden was not caught by either GWB or BHO, but by the professionals who invested a decade in the hunt. They were sustained by both GWB and BHO.

Keep up that line, that is the one Jeb is taking. It is a sure loser. No one but you thinks Iraq was ever successful or even necessary.

So you are staying home or voting for Hillary? You need to learn a bit about Jeb too.

Bush has also stood by his support for the 2003 invasion of Iraq, telling CNN in March 2013: "A lot of things in history change over time. I think people will respect the resolve that my brother showed, both in defending the country and the war in Iraq."[

So you have no clue about Democratic platforms? I am not a civics teacher.

Instead of pontificating about how different Jeb is from his brother. How about some examples? I don't see anything of note myself.

let's examine an example of profound stupidity from that cite:
No Republican will enjoy credibility as a deficit hawk unless he or she acknowledges that George W. Bush squandered the budget surplus he inherited. No Republican will be able to promise foreign-policy competence unless he or she acknowledges the Bush administration's disastrous mismanagement in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Click to expand...
why could a republican candidate not campaign as a deficit hawk without acknowledging that dubya squandered the deficit neutral budget he inherited? why could jeb not campaign as an interventionist rather than an isolationist without also affirming that his brother's ME campaigns were flawed. he can point to successes by both his father and his brother relative to the military action in iraq

but you want us to pull for hillary even tho you have no idea what she stands for but insist she will run on the demo platform (whatever that might be)
sorry, i do not give my allegiance to any political party

I vote Republican more often than I do Democrat in state and local elections where I live and wrote a campaign check to the Huntsman campaign the day he announced he was running in 2012. However, I am not a fan of socially conservative candidates because they authoritarian by nature and I don't like candidates that placate the religious right.

What your post have made abundantly clear is that being a curmudgeon is a popular persona on DP. You don't stand for anything and dislike those that do. You couldn't find a single difference between Jeb and GW either. They are like peas in a pod, just like I thought.

[emphasis added by bubba]

oh hell yes
i stand for a lot of things
among them:
the national anthem
while sitting and seeing approaching ladies prior to shaking hands
and great performances

i also stand for voting for the best candidate
and between jeb and hillary, hillary ain't it
despite multiple opportunities to convince me otherwise, you have proven unable to do so

and i don't care enough about you to dislike you; however, your inability to defend your position that began this debate has certainly proven to be a disappointing display of 'advocacy'

One of Bushes greatest risks to the GOP is that he is socially liberal. Face it...this is simply a bull**** 'cause'. And theres going to be a whooooooole lot more of them. Meanwhile...the guy currently occupying the WH has expanded greatly the 'authoritarian' powers of the fed and that ruckus we are hearing about rejecting of 'authoritarianism'? Yeah...its nonexistent.
