I don't quite know what it is, but they remind me of Ned Beatty when he's playing someone truly dumb, like Lex Luthor's sidekick in the old Superman movie. I shudder at the thought of another Good Ol' Boy presidency.

Jeb is by far the more dangerous to us now because he "seems" moderate a lot of the time. He will champion moderate positions, then switch sides and figure out a way to torpedo the program. For example, he championed clean up of the FL Everglades, got a law passed and everything. Then turned right around and had a companion bill passed exempting the sugar growers from paying, thereby destroying the law he just passed. He's really sneaky like that. He's great at appearing to be a good guy, but is nowhere near that at all.

Being from FL, and seeing how popular he still is here, he's my greatest fear for 2016. You just can't trust any of the Bushes.

Sure the bar is incredibly low, given the shrub, but Jeb is far more shrewd. We must not let down our guard with that Bush, he's a bigger shrub and a lot more wiley than his post turtle brother.

Someone will ask him about the aviation training school records (Embry-Riddel?) that seemed to disappear just after 9/11?

I know that this post will be alerted on and deleted or sent to the seventh level of electron hell, but why give anyone a free pass!
