Jeb Bush Backpedals Again

1. Ya think? LOL Bernie looks better every political post!

[Nitram]

3. I don't think Jeb is running in the Democratic primary...

[libdem4life]

4. Really? Who knew? A more in-depth Understanding would determine that the General

Election was being referred to. Sorry I failed to make that clear. What is it with the picky-pickies with the one-liner sage responses around here?

[heaven05]

5. +1000

lots of them. Snark is a better word....

[libdem4life]

6. I feel like I've over-used that term and sought another. LOL.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

40. Spark? Stark? Shark?

Lotsa choices.

I do enjoy the spectacle of Boy Jeb looking dumber than his brother - a feat I thought would have been impossible, except for certifiable morons like Bachmann or Palin.

[libdem4life]

42. Now they are Smarmy...the whole gaggle of them.

[SoapBox]

17. Ditto the +1000

I'm seeing the picky-pickies in what seems almost every thread...sheesh.

[libdem4life]

21. Pushing the meaning of "discussion" to include the "did too, did not, did to, did not" level

There are two sides to every discussion...My Way and the Wrong Way. LOL

[Nitram]

37. Wasn't trying to be picky.

I was pointing out that Jeb's flubs don't have anything at all to do with Bernie's chances of winning the primary he has to win to be the Democratic candidate for the presidency. Bringing Bernie up in this context was a non sequitur.

[libdem4life]

39. That I agree with. Thanks for the added info.

[Nitram]

2. Was the mistake to say he approved of his brother's invasion...

...or that he approves the invasion?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

7. I doubt Cheney to this day calls it a mistake

I don't know about the Chimp, but Cheney and his PNACers was calling the shots from his hidden lair and the decision was his. I think he would do it all over again if he were still in power.

[Fritz Walter]

10. For sure

Just as Darth Cheney is the real Mideast policy expert that Jeb consults.
Older brother couldn't find Yemen on a map!

[hibbing]

12. Of course he doesn't

And has said so publicly on many occasions. Him and his whole corporate criminal cabal will never admit to any mistakes being made by them. Always that the "intelligence" was incorrect. As has been said many times, if so many of us on here knew it was all bullshit why didn't they?

I will never ever forgot the lies told and the manipulation of the population with their willing participants in the corporate media. I wonder what current polling data would be if asked who attacked? I would not be surprised in the least if 50% of the respondents would say Iraq and Saddam Hussein.

Mushroom cloud, Colin and his little vial, the meeting with one of the hijackers in Budapest or wherever, all lies and I knew they were lies at the time, the flight suit, all of it...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

Peace

[underpants]

8. Remember folks, he's the "smart one"

[Scarsdale]

35. Yeah, right

He is the smart one in a VERY shallow gene pool. Remember Battleaxe Barb said "Who cares how many body bags come home?" Knowing none of her despicable spawn would be in one of them.

[3catwoman3]

45. Holy crap!

She really said that? Damn!

[MADem]

9. He oughta fundraise by autographing copies of this book...

[czarjak]

11. Can't even classify that as a snarky...

"Nice try", you butthead.

[turbinetree]

13. "Mistakes are made, as they always are in life"

Since you have a direct line to a war criminal (a guy named George W. Bush) and have individuals that are part of that gang of criminals on your team.
Why don't you just go and remind them and yourself of the 4,685 murdered human beings and their deaths based on that LIE.

Then and go and tell each parent, wife, children, grand children what you said about those deaths:

"Mistakes are made, as they always are in life"

And how, on this simple fact of your own words, you have cheapened life by those comments, and you have no business being president in charge of the military, or this country---------because apparently:

"Mistakes are made, as they always are in life"

Thank you your highness by the name of Bush.

Now we see the emperor without his clothes------you are really a despicable, insensitive man without any conscience ------------ none.

[delrem]

34. Hundreds of thousands of innocents were murdered because of that lie.

Unless you think the Iraqi victims don't count.

[Scarsdale]

36. Just like his Momma

Cold as ice, no compassion whatsoever. Well, he IS a Bush.

[Enthusiast]

14. The entire G. W. Bush presidency was one huge mistake.

[jaxind]

15. Mistakes are made as they always are in life

Why wasn't that tagline ok among your fellow cohorts on your criticism of Benghazi?? The way you guys pummeled hilary and the administration, you have the nerve to say "mistakes are made as they always are in life!"

[AgingAmerican]

33. Half million dead, conservative estimate

Other estimates have it at a million.

Oops!!

[tiptonic]

16. No big deal

No big deal to me, or anyone in my family. We don't go to war (including the texas national guard) anymore. We send others, so we can make money off them.

[SoapBox]

18. Remember when...

BushCo. Banned any pictures of the caskets coming home?

They said something like it was too "upsetting" for the American people to see.

Upsetting is right because it showed the waste that was the lies for the invasion.

[RoccoR5955]

19. I seem to recall Mrs. Clinton saying something like that.

Who'd have thought that Jeb would be stealing lines from a Democrat?

Funny, I can name some folks who would not have made that "mistake."
One is even running for President... On the Democratic Party's side!

[azureblue]

26. show us the quote

or go home. If you are going to attempt to turn this into yet another one of your anti hil spiels, at least back it up with the reference.

[RoccoR5955]

41. Sorry

But I do not have links to things that I may have seen on TV years ago.
If you want proof, I am not sure that it is out there. I just said that I seem to remember Mrs. Clinton saying the same thing. I don't remember where. I do remember that it was a long time ago, and it was regarding Iraq. I remember because she was my senator when she voted to go to war with Iraq, and I had voiced strong opposition against it. I believe that later on, she said that the vote for the war was a mistake. That is all. I may have heard it on the radio even, which would be even harder to get a link to.
So I apologize that I do not have a link, and it not an anti anyone spiel. It is merely something that I heard.

[Thor_MN]

20. Yes, if by mistakes you mean your brother and Chenney committed War Crimes.

[cindyperry]

23. is it possible that this one is dumber

than the last

[KansDem]

24. And he's suppose to be the smarter one?

[dflprincess]

31. "Smart" is a low bar in the Bush family. nt

[d_legendary1]

46. He can complete sentences.

That's saying a lot in the Bush family.

[awoke_in_2003]

25. What's a little

trillion dollar, million lives (conservatively) mistake amongst friends?

[tclambert]

27. Mistakes are often made in life, but some are more important than others,

like letting anyone named Bush become President.

[tclambert]

28. The Bush family motto: "When you find yourself in a hole, keep digging until you hit bottom."

[Initech]

29. Why aren't they in jail yet?

I swear the BFEE won't be satisfied until the whole damn middle east is in flames.

[polynomial]

30. Jeb Bush is energy in reverse

Jeb Bush is like a canary the GOP take into the war tunnel, as long as he keeps talking everything is likely to recoil hard as long as the canary sings.

The dynamics is either way, if Jeb Bush stops singing, all America knows the war, and the domestic economic swindle is no mistake.

Then again as Jeb Bush keeps thinking of excuses, we all know they cannot be avoided, this is far worse than the Nazi financing that Grandpa Prescott Bush did during world war two.

Nor can the decision to got to war be delegated, or blamed by so called poor intelligence. No it’s a family instinct to profiteer and drag along the military industrial complex into the war which is complimented by the media.

The amazing poor intelligence is the common sense knowledge kept secret by the mainstream media for decades, and still does, that Bush and the Cheney family are long time business partners with the famous Arab Bin Laden family. They have every intention to make this an opportunity to profiteer via national secrecy and torture.

That simple fact suppressed all this time obviously shows the results of the war as an economic swindle that Bush and Cheney moved ahead to build a family fortune.

Ground zero is the Bush Cheney monument of New York citizens holocaust with all the intentions of ignoring actions needed, but held the door open for nineteen Arabs and one Egyptian to commandeer planes that turned into weapons of mass destruction.

Yes Bush and Cheney waited for 911 to happen, then George W. Bush stood on a pile of ruin and desecration with a bull horn to announce that America will retaliate made me feel livid, extremely angry; furious.

No, my anger was not at the enemy but at Bush, that is not the character of a president of the United States.

Bush showed America what his family character is, to use the opportunity of the human atrocity, let a micro holocaust happen, a new age Nazi experiment. The Bush and Cheney family are what America fought against in WW ll. George at Ground Zero is WW lll.

[Hulk]

32. Right. His parents certainly made at least TWO of them, by NOT practicing "safe sex".

And they gave us one of the biggest catastrophes the world has seen in decades. I'm sure this turd for brains can prove he is just as worthless, and just as much a sock puppet for the corporations. Hell, maybe they can get darth cheney to be his vp and run him like a cheap tool, same as his dip shit brother.

LOSERS!!

[Fritz Walter]

38. "Your brother created ISIS"

College student Ivy Ziedrich confronted Jeb about his assertion that President Obama is responsible for the emergence of ISIS in the middle east. She uses facts to nail his ass to the wall.

“It was when 30,000 individuals who were part of the Iraqi military were forced out — they had no employment, they had no income, and they were left with access to all of the same arms and weapons,” Ms. Ziedrich said.

She added: “Your brother created ISIS.”

Mr. Bush interjected. “All right. Is that a question?”

Ms. Ziedrich was not finished. “You don’t need to be pedantic to me, sir.”

“Pedantic? Wow,” Mr. Bush replied.

Read the New York Times article here.

Well done, Ms. Ziedrich!

[lonestarnot]

43. He apparently thinks he has a "beautiful mind."

Lunkheaded asshole.

[kairos12]

44. Another chicken hawk wing nut.
