Jeb Bush Embraces Dangerous Foreign Policy

This statement alone from a Politico article makes me squirm when I consider Jeb's Bush foreign policy views

Conservative foreign policy insiders say that what’s known about Bush’s views places him in the dominant interventionist wing of his party, which is still shaped by his co-signatories on the 1997 Project for the New American Century document. He has challenged the anti-interventionist views of Sen. Rand Paul and his supporters.

The word is New American Century documents means this guy is neo-conservative which means embracing a dangerous foreign policy view. This should be non-starter for all Americans. However, 99% of the country have no clue what the document and what the implications of what this document means.

And sad thing,a lot of people are going to vote for him without having no clue what that document is or what it is intent was.

He probably has the same ones, but the document in question is 17 years old.

This said, no surprise that a shitty organization like Politico would consider such a thing as relevant nowadays.

better inform the population that is what his position is - and force him into a corner over it. For the primaries - all Democratic contenders need to take on the RWers rather than each other.

Simple - How many Iraqs do people want.
