1. I think Jeb is asking for the impossible.

[Voice for Peace]

4. It will come down to how many lunatics get out and vote in the primaries.

Bernie is in a similar place, I think.

Please don't devour me for the comparison. All I mean
is Jeb's talking about taking a risk in the primaries,
by saying what he really thinks. Bernie won't pander
for the sake of a nomination. It will be an interesting
season.

23. All The Hillary Lovers

Are in complete denial about how degrading and demoralizing another nepotistic election of Clinton vs Bush would be. Going backwards is completely idiotic and giving Republicans a pass on the anti-nepotism advantage is even more idiotic. Please fight hard to make sure that ticket never happens.

[Voice for Peace]

2. He's suggesting bucking the extremists in the primary, not in so many words,

but it's a smart tactic.

NO I AM NOT A BUSH FAN

[TBF]

3. lololol - good luck Jeb. nt

[TheNutcracker]

5. Stop JEB in his tracks! All you need to know. Apples don't fall far either!f

Now here comes Jeb. His wife can never be a first lady. She lied to the feds about 20K in purchases she was bringing back into the U.S. from Paris. Jeb's been a big philanderer. Two of his children have been in the news in the past years for arrests linked to drug problems, public intoxication, and sex in public. (don't confuse the W's kids).
Then there is the family issue of robbing banks. One, the Silverado Savings and Loan, several ways into which many in the Bush family were involved, and also many politicians still in office today. Jeb, George Sr., and his son Neil Bush have all been implicated in the Savings and Loan Scandal, which cost American tax payers over $1.4 TRILLION dollars, one quarter of our national debt. One also thinks it's polite to take up the Asian hookers when presented.
Their grandfather worked for Hilter, and HW lied about working for the CIA. We were to believe this when he was chosen to head the CIA agency?
The entire family has been an "AMERICAN DISASTER'.
Then there is Jeb's Nigerian water pump bribery scandal back in the courts, just last year! Illegal immigration is an "act of love".

Let us not forget that Jeb Bush defaulted on a $4.56 million dollar loan from the Broward Federal Savings in Sunrise, FL. After federal regulators closed the S&L, the office building that Jeb used the $4.56 million to finance was reappraised by the regulators at $500,000.00, which Bush and his partners paid. The taxpayers had to pay back the remaining 4 million plus dollars, as in the past. This family robs banks and created a drug war to run drugs. Just read Barry and the Boys. Barry Seal flew planes for the CIA and ran drugs for HW and a few others.

So spare me if I'm a little sad to even THINK ABOUT ANOTHER BUSH RUNNING! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? US?

Must we put ourselves through this again? Or will the voting machines Jeb ushered in do it for us?

[LiberalLovinLug]

13. Whew

And all that without even mentioning the dim son W, who only allowed the worst terrorist attack on US soil to happen on his watch while taking a record amount of vacation days and ignoring warnings. Oh, and the worst financial crash since the Great Depression.

The whitewashing and catering to this family by the MSM through the decades is appalling. Why the Nazi lover and traitor Prescott Bush, who attempted a fascist coup, wasn't framed into American history along the likes of Benedict Arnold is baffling. Any relations of him should have been never allowed near the halls of power.

[AlbertCat]

18. And all that without even mentioning the dim son W,

Or the low key Marvin.... with whom I went to prep school. Yes I've met the parents and they are snobby, entitled, just awful people. Dubya still acts like he's going to some prep school....

Marvin appears to be on the board of directors for a bunch of companies that are of course tied to the Saudis and also security systems contracted for use with the wretched "Patriot Act".... not too bad, but, y'know, living off the family connections.

[olegramps]

14. Especially remember he was a member of PNAC neo-cons that lied us into war.

His hands are just as bloody as his father's and brother's.

[billhicks76]

24. 911 A Gift From Heaven For Him

REMEMBER that evil family tricked us TWICE. They said Bush Sr was a moderate and a wimp. He was behind holding the hostages in Iran past the election, IranContra, the Drug War, wars in the Middle East, CIA transgressions and God knows how many assassinations. His son W was portrayed as a compassionate conservative and a bumbling idiot. He was as right wing as you get in policy and war and turning our country into a police/prison state and was never responsible for anything because no one thought he was in charge and had a low IQ which was false. It was all theater for the masses. Don't be fooled...Jeb will rule like a demon from Hell. The Clintons have no business in the White House as they are best buddies and subservient to the Bushes whether they win or lose. We need to fight compadres. Drive the centrist collaborators in our party out of town.

[JeaneRaye]

20. Americans have short memories.

I agree with everything you say in your post, however, Americans either have short memories or they really are stupid. They don't know half of the facts that you post or they just don't care. Sorry for my cynicism but Republicans who have equally appalling histories, get elected or reelected all the time.

[japple]

22. Thank you! And welcome to DU, JeaneRaye.

You have your facts straight!

[JeaneRaye]

33. Well, actually...

Thanks for the welcome, but I've been lurking around here for many years now. I, at least scan the site every day. I'm just not inclined to respond to everything that I read. BTW, your avatar looks like a picture of my cat.

[japple]

34. Yes, I lurked for a few years before I joined. There are many of us who don't post much.

I've been here 10 years and haven't gotten to 5,000 yet. That cat is named Mildred. She is the best cat in my tribe of 4 cats. In fact, she's the greatest cat ever!

[gordianot]

6. Bush' have been trying to show they can govern for decades and have failed.

7. I don't know if the "adult-like" part or the "govern, lead" part is more problematic

They couldn't even provide juvenile governance. They couldn't even lead a simple game on the playground.

[Rozlee]

8. This is Jeb, trying to act 'presidential.'

He knows that Mitt didn't get elected in the primaries because he was the favorite of the right-wing base, he got the nomination because the base considered him to have the best 'electability.' They held their noses when casting their ballots for him. He figures if he panders to both right-wingers and independents, he'll have a better chance of cinching the primaries and the general election.

[JDPriestly]

9. Boy! So Jeb Bush is admitting it: the Republican Party is pre-school when it comes to governing.

Now, come on, little Repubs., let's get our shoes tied so we can play governing today.

The Republicans are a bunch of undisciplined, childish clowns.

Jeb Bush is no better than the rest.

Look at the mess with the 2000 election. He was governor of Florida when the votes weren't counted properly and the ballots were a mess. I realize that was mostly the fault of his secretary of state, but Jeb and she were political allies.

Unfit to govern. Too childish. To undisciplined. Clowns.

[billhicks76]

25. He's Pivoting To Win

No more Bushes...no more Clintons!

[JDPriestly]

27. Agreed!

We don't need family dynasties. We don't need royalty.

[olddots]

10. who stole Boener's binky ?

The whole republican party is missing thier binky and human like characteristics .

[lark]

11. Good Jeb, keep sounding sensible.

You will make sure the primary idiots don't elect you.

[SHRED]

12. The same Jeb Bush who stole 200 elections for his brother?

LOL. What an asshat.

15. I'm sure "adult like" means surrendering unconditionally to the Koch machine

[Initech]

16. Does Jeb live in the Twilight Zone? Because that ain't happening

[billhicks76]

26. Wake Up

It's been planned for years as has Hillary. It's disgusting.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

17. The Republicans are only going to get in the White House with a visitor's pass for decades.

[DemandsRedPill]

19. they already are

According to Merriam Webster............. to govern



: to officially control and lead (a group of people) : to make decisions about laws, taxes, social programs, etc., for (a country, state, etc.)

: to control the way that (something) is done

: to control or guide the actions of (someone or something)

By their lack of action they are achieving exactly what they were all bought and paid for to do

So what exactly is this junior member of the Bush Crime Family referring too when suggesting they govern or lead?

Best to follow the money trail

You know his motives have to lead there in some way

[SoapBox]

21. No...More...Bush!

And No More Repukes.

However, a failure to even vote on the part of Dems, could let Jebby into power.

Which country would get invaded first?

[Derek V]

28. What is Boehner Doing?

It looks like something I've seen female porn stars do immediately after a scene.

[Kalidurga]

29. It's about time a Republican admitted it's the party of whiners and spoiled brats.

[merrily]

30. "Adult-like?" As opposed to "adult?" Because Republicans in Congress are under 18?

He has his brother's way with language.

[polynomial]

31. Actually a decree of tyranny is upon us

There are many reasons that the American corruption is based out of the Bush family.

However reading this thread illustrates an important wisdom that a great portion of America, and likely supporters of the Republican Party do not understand the serious danger our way of culture has been driven in greed by not addressing and exposing the Bush political family.

Never forget 911, George W. Bush held the door open for his Arab friends. and the saying “Money trumps Pease” should go down in history as a open neurotic realization the common American is in trouble anytime a Bush is anywhere in politics.

The American media, especially the Chick Todd’s, the Hannity’s, the Limbaugh’s in all channels CNN, Fox, MSNBC, ABC, and the revelation in the past few years, hate radio is acknowledgement America has a hate culture based out this main political party, hardwired to the media giants.

The worst part many American know and wonder why there is no challenger to the Bush political family.

Doubly worse the media in a frenzy of lies will introduce race sensations to cover the crimes they commit. Gun pointing programming on the media is in ridiculous proportions.

Yet poppy Bush belongs to the Carlyle Group that sells weapons to the world, likely ships them via his connections with the Union Pacific railroad.

As long as this family is free roaming around lavishly in seemingly polite defiance appearing to be against the status quo, but really is the draconian master mind political management of sacking the treasury.

The Bush family has a history in economic Ponzi pyramid schemes through national secrets iterated decade after decade is inspiration only to perpetuate grief sorrow terror torture war and expand the military industrial complex that was warned by Eisenhower.

So here I am an Eisenhower Republican giving warning please you all never, never, stop to talk about this family that is so Constitutionally antithetical it is self-evident this political family already destroyed the basic American dream loading up the Supreme Court with corruption that declares “Money is free speech” has to be a total violation of the first amendment. Actually a decree of tyranny is upon us.

32. George P. Bush, son of Jeb, just climbed into the Family Crime Car
