But given the longstanding and storied rivalry between the two, I'm sure Dubya gets quite a kick out of thinking Jebby's defeat will basically be his fault.

He was EVERYBODY's problem, not just Jebby. Jebby has surrounded himself with the same blood thirsty clowns W employed. All ageing war hawks, all rich from pushing the USA to war. Dubya/Cheney was the biggest threat to US awxuruty EVER. Now Bloody Bill Kristol wants to nominate Cheney for the WH! Kristol was so wrong about PayMe, now he wants another disaster in charge - AGAIN. Maybe this time Dickless will chose his daughter, Lizard, for VP?

...when I first read this headline. For a minute, I thought that maybe George had finally had a moment of clarity, honesty and humility and was kinda conceding that he hadn't been the best president and had tarnished (actually, further tarnished) the Bush name. But that's not quite what he's saying. What is he saying?

I'll admit that the Democrats had the Kennedy dynasty and refrain from remarking on positive achievements of Kennedys VS Bushes. Jeb might be the "smarter" brother GHWD might have preferred to perpetuate the Bush dynasty, but his accomplishments are hardly more impressive than Dubya'
s. He wasn't much in the national public eye outside Florida other than Terry Schiavo (not his finest hour) and, more deserved, 2000 elections questions. OTOH, I'm not a big Hillary fan, and would like to see some challengers: but ANYONE would be better than the crazy challengers Jebbie faces. More into the monetary support, I'm sure, than any real challenge to their crazy platforms. BUT, a husband and wife with individual educations and experience, both nationally and internationally, are just as presented. The Clintons are NOT a dynasty. Love 'em or hate 'em: they are nothing like the Bushes.

If Jeb hadn't manipulated brother George into the White House in 2000, he might have had a better shot at it himself this time around.

Hell, if he had let Al Gore take his rightful place in the Oval Office in 2000, he might have had a decent chance in 2008, as we might have gotten so complacent as to be vulnerable by then.

I used it during Dimson's administration. You know, when he, Laura and the twins were living in the White House?

yeah gw is negative baggage, but ol' jebbie is problematic all by himself. for starters, he's a republican. and his father being the 1st george bush doesn't gain him any points in my book, nor does his snake of a mother.

The whole family is married to politics, and business, living and breathing corruption, as standard loyal practices.

The very reason the Bush Family along with Cheney and all those connected in the administration, financed by a lot of one percent big money, will for the longest time have to pay to stay away from being disgraced, condemned in International crimes about torture, sacking the treasury, and the primary perpetrators of profiteering by war.

Now after research, and personal experience the Bush family is likely connected to the largest United Health Care Company. My findings lead to documentation issues loaded with bogus medical data base system derived perhaps over decades that likely has a corrupt or false or outright fraud in the ability for determinations in medical recovery planning.

Also mention his friend Cheney with an endless list in mercenary madness, secret torture, with billions if not trillions in profiteering all complicit with our mainstream media with support from the legal branches up to the Supreme Court itself a master piece of leverage that totally screwed up America.

My own research has found the Bush Family tightly connected to the powerful transportation corporation the Union Pacific Railroad with relatives, especially grandpa Prescott Bush working for the famous Harriman a Nazi supporter and known financier of Hitler tyranny in the second world war, who's Nazi business practices are expressed today.

So it should not be surprising to know that the wars are a lie and Bush has been a business partner with the famous terrorist family the “Bin Ladens" for decades all suppressed by the mainstream media.

From my view the criminal complicity is so huge America would likely have to double the federal resources to jail everyone, that is of course if America could make room and jail at least half of the Supreme Court as it is today.

Also extend that complicity of retaliation or retribution in routine work and worse loyalty programs implemented to avoid good honest reporting for injury health issues within the business operation of the Union Pacific Railroad.

Plain and simple. We all know it, we don't like it, but letting in another Bush into the Whitehouse is far worse than Clinton. Unless you want to have a war with Iran and anyone else the neocons want to send your children to die fighting against.
