Jeb suddenly back pedaling on Indiana

[tavernier]

Ha! Just now announced on Lawrence O'Donnell.

[still_one]

1. He is a joke. These lies should be remembered

[tavernier]

3. They are all tap dancing now

but especially Bush who really should have had better political and social radar.

Dance Jebby, dance!

[misterhighwasted]

2. Yes watching the show. Wow what a pantload that statement is!

Sounded like Jeb's talking outta both sides of his mouth.
Am impressed with O'Donnell's guests

[tavernier]

4. Nice to win a few.

Even nicer when it involves one of the bush crime family members.

[misterhighwasted]

6. If Bush caves so easily in this case, how will he handle the

Presidency? He is weak.

One great point they made.
( Not a direct quote but my understanding of their statement.)

[closeupready]

12. Very good point!

[misterhighwasted]

14. Yup. And Jeb is the current GOP front runner..

Jeb may be giving up his seat at the steering wheel & stuck in the back seat of the clown car between Fiorina & Cruz.

[ND-Dem]

20. good point. what was his original stance, "pro-free-dumb"? and then he backpedaled

after the corporate backlash?

I'd expect no less of the man.

[3catwoman3]

21. He's also talking out of...

...his ass.

[Skittles]

5. fucking idiot

is he just now coming to the realization repukes in Indiana have overreached big time? He is as stupid as his brother.

[tavernier]

8. You may be right,

although I would have argued that no one is that stupid. But perhaps the glasses from the Rick Perry collection make him look smarter.

[sendero]

40. Oh no..

... he's the "smart Bush" don't you know.

[Skittles]

41. that's like being the better Melendez brother

[rurallib]

7. Get a few slices of that heterosexual pizza in him right away!

[misterhighwasted]

15. ROLF

[villager]

19. "I like my pizza straight!"

[Gothmog]

9. Jeb is a weak person who is not his own man

This backtracking does not surprise me. Remember how Jeb fired is internet person a day after hiring him

[hatrack]

10. What a weasly, spineless POS!

He doesn't even have the (temporary) courage of his (faux) Christo-fascist convictions.

He can't even pretend to.

[Brother Buzz]

13. Still, in a demented way he should get some credit....

for being the first idiot to start walking it back.

[misterhighwasted]

16. LOL.. Pity the fool...

[lpbk2713]

17. He's a Boosh, he's a rethuglican ... ergo he's an unabashed opportunist.

He'll say whatever fits the occasion and then fifteen minutes
later contradict himself if he sees any advantage in it.

[Cha]

18. This was predicted the other day.. I said he jumped on the pence wagon too soon. mahalo for

the report, tavernier

[herding cats]

24. You nailed it, Cha!

They are in a bit of a tight spot trying to fit their big business Republicans, their evangelical Republicans and their pseudo Libertarian "don't tax on me" Republicans into a one size fits all candidate, huh?

[Cha]

30. Yes, my bleeds for them, herding cats.. lol

A 4 pronged vise! I added an extra one for good measure!



Good analysis!

[rhett o rick]

22. Wellll, according to Babs Jeb is the smarter son. LOL. Not saying much.

I detest Poppy but I think he is smart. The boys must have gotten their "dumb" from mom. I think she has been silenced since that "let them eat cake" statement after Katrina. The Bush family is an excellent example of why we desperately need heavy inheritance taxes.

[ProfessorGAC]

35. That's Like Saying Fly is Smarter Than A Mosquito

Neither is going to be a physicist.

[Hulk]

23. Which way is the wind blowing?

I am disgusted with such spineless, corrupt, lying sons-of-bitches. Like bib, the preznit of the reich wing in this country, they'll say ANYTHING to get the vote...and then do exactly what they want when they are in power.

[vlyons]

25. We haven't forgotten Jeb's interference with Terri Schiavo either!

He's such a phoney baloney. Total sock puppet of wall street and the masters of war.

[calimary]

27. We MUSTN'T forget jeb's interference with Terri Schiavo!

We MUSTN'T EVER forget jeb's interference with that whole sad affair. We mustn't forget ANYBODY'S interference in such a personal family trauma.

The message needs to be: Your religion does NOT trump MY rights. It may certainly be important to you but it doesn't trump MY rights, or ANYBODY'S rights. Your religion does NOT give you the right to discriminate. It's NOT okay. Regardless how you want to dress it up.

This, like a woman's right to choose, is non-negotiable. It is an absolute.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

26. Now watch the Base claim he's gay.

[DirkGently]

28. Blows wherever he thinks the breeze will carry him,

that one.

[Dawson Leery]

29. His own man?!?

[Warpy]

31. Not surprising. Hey, Jebbie, pandering to the worst of the "Christians" has never worked well

for you. Think of some of the fallout among your buddies after you stepped in fundy shit over the Schiavo case. You and your big brother got a lot of it splashed on you. While the post Katrina fiasco woke a lot of people up completely, your hamfisted meddling in a tragic family drama in 2005 started the process off.

It's ten years later and your once mighty fundy voting bloc has been getting smaller every year. Their kids hate your guts and have been leaving abusive churches and claiming "no religion" and no one can build a winning campaign without some of the people under 30, not even you. Hell, they're not even identifying as Christians any more because of the shit you and your buddies have pulled over the years. Of all the things you have to be ashamed of, that's one of your worst.

All the back pedaling in the world isn't going to save you, Jebbie. Keeping your wife hidden unless you're in the southwest US isn't going to work, either. People remember things longer than you think they do and most of 'em remember what your daddy and your brother did to the economy. They both crashed it. They know another Bush will destroy this country completely.

And that means you. You haven't changed. You're still caving to the worst of the assholes in the religious right, the ones who use Jesus as a tool to bully other people.

Give it up, get out of politics, move to Honduras, and live in well deserved obscurity along with the rest of your rotten family. You've been stinking up this country long enough.

[tavernier]

32. Dear Warpy:

I wish just once you would speak your mind!



Excellent points, all!

[rock]

33. These days, even a law that allows you to discriminate will not work

The people will not allow it.

[Orsino]

34. He was late to the hate party, making him look wishy-washy...

...and he's late again to the Long March back. It's as though "Jeb Bush" is just a suit being walked around by a team of squirrels.

[Myrina]

36. His statement of support - written or on vid - needs played with every appearance he makes

I am so over these opportunistic and pandering assholes.

[napkinz]

37. too late, Jeb ... we know your REAL view on this

[yellowcanine]

38. I win, I win! Predicted this on Monday.....

2. Let the backtracking and "clarifying" begin.......3....2.....1.....

We should take bets on who and when. My vote is Jeb Bush before the end of the week.

[pampango]

39. Jeb is unpopular with their base. He tries to pick a few wacko issues to make his seem more

like a 'regular tea party' guy then one blows up in his face. Hard to feel sorry for such a conniving politician.
