Really? Another Bush, possibly another Clinton? What has happened to this great nation? Is this the best out of all the people in this country we can do? Or are we just subjects to a ruling class elite who could give a **** about you or me?


Sad reality is, there are those cheering for these royals and thier race for power.

So what? We have a no name, unknown, bottom tier in the WH. How's that working out?

Sad reality is that having had a dad and a brother as president is the absolutely stoopidest idea to reject a candidate and living proof that progressives never bother to look beyond the latest White House talking point, which is already "old news"

I suppose by your logic, having had a husband as president is bad too and you won't be supporting Hillary for that reason.

Or is it that you simply hate anything Bush after listening and spewing "it's Bush's fault" for so long you believe **** is rain

I personally think we can do better than both bush and clinton families myself. Obama is simply Bush III and you are being duped.

J B is clearly more qualified to run a nation than B O has ever been, or HC for that matter.
No, I didn't and wouldn't vote for either, but I hope most of us are not so shallow as to vote on hype or name recognition rather than qualifications or something of substance.

Call me a cynic, but voting for the lesser of two evils is why we have the government we deserve.



Jeb bush increased florida's budget by 27% during his term (that's 2009).
Supports Affirmative action
Supported the bank bailouts
Supports corporate welfare
More money for the war on drugs
Pro common core



IS this the small government replublican you all want as your guy?

Of course I'm the one being duped, here in the Great White North where the media has a vested interest in duping me stronger than the US White House and it's puppets in the MSM. Of course I am totally fooled by Republican political scientists and columnists who also have a vested interest in fooling me. In fact, Canada itself, a frozen wasteland of socialism is hoodwinked into ensuring that progressives NEVER get into the White House. And, it is of course only natural that this supporter of universal health care, gay rights, etc. would blindly adopt the meme's of the US RIGHT WING.

Do me a favor...list five areas of policy on which you reject Jeb Bush as a potential president. Was it education? Health? Are you even aware of his record?

Perhaps I did not make my case. No, I do not want him as "my guy". But it is not because of his last name.
 
It is pretty crazy thinking that we have to choose between a fat rich old ugly guy:

Actually, Jeb wouldn't be a bad choice. He is not a crazy. In fact, he is very pragmatic, much like his brother George was, while governor of Texas, and before he got duped by the Neocons when running for president. If not for the Neocons, George's presidency would have been much different.

I'd vote for Jeb.
 
It would be interesting if that issue came back as a scandal. I think Jeb is not going to win. I feel sorry for him for even running in the first place.

Apparently being related to a previous president, most Americans view that as helping them, not hurting them. This question was asked in a recent poll:

46. If Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton decide to run for president, do you think they will be
more helped or hurt by being related to previous presidents? 41% said it helps them, 30% said it doesn't, 16% Mixed feelings.

I hope that neither Bush or Clinton will be their respective parties nominee. The difference between the two is I think Clinton wouldn't be that bad, politically, for the Democrats whereas the next Bush would not be smart for the Republicans. Unless of course the GOP would like to talk about Iraq and Katrina and Iraq and financial meltdown and Iraq and incompetence every single day. For months.

Ms Clinton would not only run on her husbands accomplishments, but benefit from Bill stumping on her behalf. However it is difficult to imagine George W. having any kind of real presence on the campaign trail. Jeb would probably have to throw his brother completely under the bus eventually and hopefully driving the family in two camps before losing.

The price you pay.

I want it come to back as a large pile of indictments and a very long prison sentence. Like torture, this kind of thing will only stop if someone who would be considered untouchable pays, and pays dearly for it.

I know that denial is par for the course, but how do you not already know this? Either way, here's the actual information.

Back in 2000, 12,000 eligible voters – a number twenty-two times larger than George W. Bush’s 537 vote triumph over Al Gore – were wrongly identified as convicted felons and purged from the voting rolls in Florida, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. African Americans, who favored Gore over Bush by 86 points, accounted for 11 percent of the state’s electorate but 41 percent of those purged.

Florida GOP Takes Voter Suppression to a Brazen New Extreme | Rolling Stone

In counties where the list was used, many voters with clean records found themselves barred from voting because they shared a name with a convict.

The commission found that poor counties with high minority populations were more likely than wealthier white ones to use inefficient voting systems which rejected a higher percentage of ballots.

Bush brother blamed for unfair election | World news | The Guardian

Florida paid DBT $4.3 million over three years to help identify felons illegally registered to vote, replacing a company that had charged the state only $5,700 per year for this work. DBT was chosen because the giant database operator, which aids the FBI on manhunts, offered to verify the accuracy of the list using several of its 1,200 databases, including change-of-address and driver’s license records. DBT was also paid to verify the data by telephone calls, an arduous, costly, but necessary task where civil rights are involved.

State records show DBT was paid the millions to conduct the verification work. But, with the state’s permission, DBT skipped those costly cross-checks.

Jeb Bush’s secret weapon - Salon.com

During the November 2000 presidential election in Florida, restrictive statutory provisions, wide-ranging errors and inadequate and unequal resources in the election process denied countless Floridians the right to vote. The disenfranchisement of Florida's voters fell most harshly on the shoulders of African Americans. Statewide, based upon county-level statistical estimates, African American voters were nearly ten times more likely than white voters to have their ballots rejected in Florida. On a statewide basis, while African Americans comprised about 11% of all voters in Florida in the November 2000 presidential election, African Americans cast about 54% of the ballots that were rejected in the election. Before and during the election state and county officials were aware of several key factors that ultimately contributed to the disenfranchisement of qualified voters.

Thousands of voters, the vast majority of whom would have voted against his brother, were denied the right to vote in the 2000 presidential election by their governor. The evidence is clear. It's too late to do anything about 2000, but Jeb should be paying for his crime.

I suppose we should believe you since socialists are the experts at election fraud. But then socialists are also expert liars, so I guess I'll just laugh this off.
 
I agree. George W. Bush never publicly endorses anybody either, so it would be interesting to see how the Bush family would handle that, and if he appears at the convention. I feel bad for Jeb.
