He's probably got the mindset of - "we just didn't do it RIGHT." Or "we weren't allowed to FINISH the job!" He's probably chomping at the bit to get in there and crank it back up and "get it right this time."



Besides, jeb can't help himself. He's a PNAC signatory. From a WAY back, before this madness in Iraq even got started. And I do NOT intend to let that be forgotten as we go forward. I feel the same about reminding about that - as I do about reminding everyone how our hapless idiot chief justice john roberts fucked up the Presidential Oath of Office during Barack Obama's first Inaugural. So that little putz thereby fucked up one lollapalooza of an historic soundbite - FOR ALL TIME.

I am NOT gonna let that one go, OR let that one slide. To YOU, TOO, fucking jeb.

First, Jeb is a signer of the PNAC document and agrees with W's foreign policy.

Second, politically it's probably a mistake to run from his brother.


I wish I could be more confident American voters will reject anything associated with the Bush catastrophe.

Liberals won't vote for Jeb to begin with, and running from W essentially means running from Republican ideology. It could hurt GOTV on the right.

When hillary announced citizenship for undocumented she solidified the latino/asian vote. If you think minorities should vote for bernie, he better start talking about immigration issues. Remember only 40% of white people vote democrat and they already know why they should vote democrat.

56. Bush is the man
Sat May 9, 2015, 10:35 AM
May 2015

To make wild profits in senseless warring, torture, secrecy, and upward mobility into every government department to flimflam, swindle, to move forward with uncertainty. Bush is the man.

Giving economic preference to those educated in the Eigen features of finance that screw up and fool the tax payer into resilience or sacrifice. Bush is your man.

Ground zero is the Bush legacy, fitting homeland security with powerful long time business connections to the Bin Laden family.

Making a wanted dead or alive announcement about that Bin Laden family member Osama Bin Laden, but later to recant and essentially forgive a terrorist family friend by forgetting about it.


Both Bush, and Cheney prospering in criminal deals that span for decades.

911, being the Coupe De Grace of a family business connected to the military industrial complex, or the American secret society called the media, the CIA, FBI loaded with Bush hold overs loyal to the government hoax at the ready to do in any opponent.

All supported by the pomp and glitz of mainstream media, with the compliments of Hollywood Royalty servicing the Bush kingdom in red carpet service.

My own research and personal experience finds long time family ties to the Harriman Empire of the Union Pacific railroad which services the Red States.

Harriman the Nazi financer in railroad money where such Nazi management practices still survive in business with Cayman Island secret banking accounts, or secret Swiss banking accounts.

According to wiki, any whistle blower being a Swiss national runs the risk of being imprisoned wreaks of a Nazi policy still today. The Bush family needs to be banished, and removed from all government and property of America.

Its laughable and criminal that this Bush family exist in politics.

Clearly he is pandering to the Cock Brothers, the multi-national gangster Adelson and other major donors.

Whether he runs or not. Whether he wins or not. He is playing to his donor base and gets to keep whatever money he raises and doesn't spend.

There are enough skeletons in a governor's mansion full of closets to torpedo any campaign. But with the war chest he is amassing now, he can hire the best spin-doctors on this planet to keep attention focused elsewhere. Follow the shiny object, sheeple!

That's what his whole non-campaign is all about.

... all he really needs to do is wait for them to self-destruct, much as with Mitt in 2012. I expect each of the candidates will have their day in the sun, and cause much angst among the Left, but when the convention closes, the Bush will be chosen as the least-offensive option.

And that is why it is absolutely vital that we turn out the vote at the general election.
Overcome the obstacles that Republican states (and I live in Florida, so don't get me started) have created to block voters who are not inclined to vote for their candidates.
On our side, it should be more than hold-your-nose and hope-for-the-best. We must clearly delineate how much is at stake here. And hammer that message home. Every. Chance. We. Get.
