Jeb's lie, "He kept us safe." insults us as a nation.

I feel insulted, and so do many here. Such an incredible lie told to help himself become president. And he knows it is a lie. We all know it is. So many facets to that lie that have been brought up here and will be brought up later. It is such an arrogant lie, that it defines him. Lastly, you don't need to be brilliant to know that it is a lie. The truth speaks louder than Jeb Bush.

But I must say, how insulted I am from this particular lie. We all know he didn't keep us safe, so Jeb has to lie to have a chance. And many have to lie to protect him and their party. Trump has provided a service by telling the truth once. Still, the argument about this lie, upsets me and so many others. So much proof by so many, yet here is the lie again and again. Someone discussed the arrogance of power. Jeb's lie is a perfect example. Without a powerful last name, this Jeb person would be just another person in the sea of humanity. And not a very smart one.

He could not tell the truth we all know. I am so fucking mad, this asshole thinks he can lie to the entire nation.. That is what I really feel, and I feel the same anger in others. He would be doing us all a service, if tomorrow morning, Monday 10/18/15, if he just withdrew, and let the rest of the nation discuss something else. He is a selfish fool to run, because he has to defend his brother in the process.

It was water, not nitroglycerin. No special handling and no experts were needed to get in a boat and get water to the superdome. But, it took them several days. I bet those people felt super safe.

Crisis my ass - it was an attack on the country. It may have led to a crisis but it was an attack.
Have no fear - they and their meme creators have been pushing this crap for 14 years.
They did not keep Americans safe. It was the worst such attack in America's history.

This president, George W. was warned and did nothing. Now that is what has been discussed, but there is the bigger lie that inferred. Oh, things were ok..."after the crises." As pointed out by many, things were not ok,.."after the crises"

Things got worse..one might argue. But Jeb has to lie because of his last name. Trump does not have to lie on this one. And neither do the others. But Jeb must lie.

All of his people must lie about this. Jeb, go home and do something else. We hate your fucking lies. And we dislike you and don't respect you for them..

Going to war on false information does not " keep us safe."

Not for those who died in that war fighting, and for those innocents who died as a result of war. They were not "safe." Of course, his family was "safe" but other families were not. As you said.."is so brazen" that he can try to get away with that lie. He knew he would have to defend his brother, but he also knew he would have to lie about him too.

So, here we are, exposing a national politician who has stated another, "big lie." Perhaps one of the biggest ever, but still a huge lie for all to see. "So brazen" that he is sure and confident that he can get away with it. And others will follow that with support for the "big lie" like the exchange on Bill Maher that is part of this thread and many others. Jeb should go home and take a nap. Perhaps have a talk with his mother about telling lies. Perhaps he could stand in the corner for a while with a dunce cap on..

did not keep America safe) that counts. After all there was only one 9/11 (the worst attack ever on American soil). Never forget Bush prevented a second one - Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahahha - the arrogance and hubris is breath-taking. It is an inversion of reality on steroids.

though I did not like him in any way, shape, form or in my imagination ----I had anticipated a little substance, a little bit better, a contender, a scary one to me as a Democrat.
The reason was his mother's assessment that "he is the smart one".
Though I dislike his mother passionately, I do not think she is without the ability to make such an assessment. I'm a mother, too.

Now that I have gotten to "meet" Jeb B. a little bit I am absolutely floored by his abysmal stupidity and his vast inability to even pretend to have a chance to thinking folks outside of the wish blooming in his pea brain.
