“I don’t think there’s any Bush baggage at all. I love my brother. I’m proud of his accomplishments. I love my dad. I’m proud to be a Bush and if I run for president it’s not because of something in my DNA that compels me to do it,” Bush said on “Fox News Sunday” after host Chris Wallace cited a poll showing the former president with a 49 percent

From what I have been reading today about his comments on the Sunday talk shows, it seems like being the "smart" Bush isn't all that great. Of course it's hard "not" to be touted as the "smart" Bush after George W. showed the world just how "smart" he wasn't!

From what I have been seeing with Paul Ryan, Rand Paul, and now Jeb, it sure looks like another repeat of the "clowns" running on the republican ticket once again. The only question is will they be as "crazy" as the ones who ran last year, or worse? I guess only time will tell, but so far it's looking like a draw at the very least!

If he's that delusional let him waste a truckload of money on an embarrassing attempt
at the next prez nomination. Apparently he is the last to accept the fact that the voters
want nothing to do with anything that bears the scorned Bush name. It's really tragic when
someone really starts to believe their own line of bullshit, as the Jebster apparently has.

going back to the S&L bailouts...these warmongering criminals need to be in a jail cell. ALL the brothers need to be wearing an orange jumpsuit in prison.

Yet in this country our greatest crooks can become governor or even POTUS! Thankfully we have a POTUS that doesn't want to kill us all off for profit.

If he was smart he would be trying to show how he is different from his brother. But, he also has to show some loyalty. He went over board on that cuz I said some loyalty, not lick yer brothers boots. So, I see he can't walk that line. Hopefully he will trot his brother out at every opportunity to show the world there is no Bush baggage.
