Jeb Bush Proclaims: I will try to "break the tie between the Adams family and the Bush family,"

[kpete]

Concord, New Hampshire (CNN)Jeb Bush joked he's not angling to set any historical records for presidential lineage.

"I have to prove that I'm not running for president -- if I go beyond the consideration of this to being an active candidate -- to try to break the tie between the Adams family and the Bush family," he said Thursday night, drawing laughs at an event in Concord, New Hampshire. "That really isn't my motivation -- but I have to prove that."

He was referring to John Adams, the second U.S. president, and John Quincy Adams, the sixth president —the only father-son president duo besides George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.

1. The problem is, the Adams family actually helped the United States.

It's called "government service."

The Bush family, OTOH, has used government office to enrich their cronies and themselves, including through war. It's called "corruption."

To start, their trail as warmonger-banksters goes back at least to war profiteering during World War I, when Samuel Prescott Bush ran Remington selling rifles to both sides. Before that, there's evidence their ancestors were slave holders.

DU's talked about his son, Prescott Sheldon Bush; grandson, George Herbert Walker Bush; and great-grandsons, George Walker Bush, John Ellis (Jeb) Bush, and Neil Mallon Bush.
