they had mentioned Bush ll's painting skills, as if they wanted Americans to somehow see him in a kinder light and forget about his incompetence as president.

http://crooksandliars.com/news-hound-ellen/fox-gushes-over-george-w-bush-s

I guess this is what brother Jeb and the rest of the RW want to do; hope that people will forget about all the things gone wrong during Bush ll's presidency. They're doing all they can to rewrite history to where 2000-2008 never happened, even if it means not inviting him to speak at the RNC or CPAC, while Bill Clinton was invited to the DNC.

that is where history will be rewritten. Children now attending school do not know what the Bush Administration did to us. A new crop of voters graduates from High School each year not knowing the truth. And it scares me to see that High School Seniors who have to take Government and Economics are not being exposed to the real history and financial situation that has changed the lifestyle of the working class and the wealthy since Reagan. I think that Jeb Bush is pushing privatized education not only for the money in the Bush World Empire, but to also ERASE the Bush past. This past needs to be a BIG 2014 and 2016 Campaign Issue and kept alive by telling.

I would like to see a campaign sticker that says something that links all of them together; uses the name of Bush in the plural form: Bushes.

And I see a link with the Bushes with the Anti-Catholic movement with Mexico beginning right after the 1910 Mexican Revolution. American oil companies left due to nationalization of the oil business in Mexico. I would like to study the 1920 and later thesis writings in non-Catholic Universities in Mexico. It is my feeling that the Anti-Catholic Irish in Mexico had/have information about the 1963 shooting of JFK. Did Bill Reilly's mother study in Mexico? I have a lot of questions about the past, on the Bushes.

delusional republican. "W's" little brother, the one that was governor of Fla. when "W" was given the presidency by the rightwing SCOTUS. He's above reproach like his brother, the republican in the WH that wouldn't allow a democrat in the WH for any reason. In fact, "W" made people sign waivers at his town hall meetings that professed their loyalty. Baggage. This could go on forever, but other people might enjoy adding their two-cents...

...why did it seem as if the GOP kept Dubya locked in a closet during the campaign and election season last year in the hope that everyone would forget about him and they could pretend his presidency never happened? Dubya was The Former Republican pResident Who Must Not Be Named, which is why no candidate sought his endorsement and he wasn't invited to speak at the convention.

If Jeb doesn't know and/or is actively denying his brother is political poison ("History will be kind to my brother&quot , he's delusional--in addition to his many other flaws--and has no business running in 2016.
