Watch as Jeb Bush defends his brother George W. Bush, saying "He is a man of courage, integrity and honor. And during incredibly challenging times, he kept us safe." So it seems Jeb Bush has forgotten all about September 11th, 2001 and the most devastating terrorist attacks in history, because they happened on his brother's watch and he most certainly did not keep us safe. Watch it.
Sorry, just one more thing, Jeb, your grandfather, Prescott Bush served his country honorably?? Is that why he was caught laundering Nazi money through his Union Bank?? The bank was shut down by the US government for that reason and Prescott Bush should have been tried as a traitor to his country in a time of war. Why he was never tried is anybody's guess. I suppose the name Bush brings with it some kind of international immunity from war crimes.
And to HW Bush. The so called Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. The Kuwaiti "nurse" testifying before the UN that babies were being thrown out of incubators? Turns out she was no nurse and was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador. It was all a pack of lies and propaganda to lead us into an unecessary war over oil yet again. Yet the truth never came out. No one seems to care.
And let's not forget Bush's famous CIA blackop past using his oil business as a cover. He was even implicated in the assassination of JFK in a released classified document and denies he was the "George Bush of the CIA" that Hoover was talking about. We know better.

Jeb Bush,
If your brother was such a man of honor and integrity, why has he mostly been hiding out since he left office, rarely speaking in public? Why did he purchase 98,000 acres of land in Paraguay with a huge aquifer and military base nearby??? Does he know something we don't? Why is Romney's money overseas and not here?? Perhaps he too is in on the big secret?
Pat, right on about the founding fathers. As Carlin used to say, the American Revolution was started by a bunch of rich white guys who owned slaves and wanted to be free.

Thank you Bob Bobonde!! And Mr. Jeb Bush was up to his eyeballs in the whole scheme! Writing in his PNAC "essay" that the United States needed a "New Pearl Harbor" to unite us and shore up our national defenses. It's funny, at first I typed the Untied States, then corrected it. But when you think about it, if we keep living with these lies, these huge huge lies, we will most definitely start to untie, then unravel. You can count on it.

Of course he forgot, that was the same day that the BUSH family gave free safe passage for the rest of the Bin Laden family from the US back to the middle east. They were the only civilian planes allowed in the air that day.
Go figure.

I do think 9/11 was a GOP inside job and at this point it looks like only God knows the truth, and if it was the GOP they will have a slow meltdown, also the reason countries like Canada and Finland and others don't have terrorism problems is because they don't have idiots like bush taking them to war with countries who never hit them!

Does the Bush family EVER go away? Facts are irrelevent to these people. Safe my ass. The fool attacks the wrong country. How many terrorist attacks on our soil under Obama? Oh yeah, zero. Not including the domestic weekly shootings of innocents of course, because no politicians can stand up to the NRA. You need a playbook to keep track of the lies at this convention. It's incredible how low rent the GOP has become, and how their sheep followers can blissfully ignore the truth.

I would never think any average working American would believe this hypocritical crap that comes out of the new republicon party if I didn't actually know real people that do!! Some of their views stem from racism and some from pure ignorance (which is racism.) The hypocrisy began with our founding fathers who wrote beautiful words about equality while owning slaves! Guess we were cooked right fromt the start.
TAX THE RICH, the only way we can have a functioning government!
And just who did bush protect??? We were attacked on his watch, for God's sake!

I agree with Jeb the president shouldnt blame bush for now, but he should go on and say I introduced job bills and other economic bills only to have the gop/tea party filibuster them for a record setting 142 times in the senate, a congress who sends the senate a budget that defunds things like PBS, Planned Parenthood, and just about everything that protects and makes everyday life better for all americans, and you all know the budget is set by the congress and they were the ones that didnt send the senate budget that would work for america. This is what I would throw back at them and show mitch and john and the rest of them lying their heads off. Put out an ad that show standard and poors saying it was the gop/tea party that caused the down grade in our national credit rating. There is so much of common sense stuff to hit the clown show with it is unreal. Just show clips of them lying and then show facts of what the gop/tea party has done holding the country hostage to make this president a one term president..
