Bill Maher Accuses Jeb Bush of Converting to Catholism for Political Gain

If Maher is right and Jeb intends to do unto the Catholics as his brother did unto the Evangelicals, that means that “Catholic” does not have to become a dirty word like “Evangelical” did. The Catholics can avoid the same disgrace and ridicule.

[EDINVA]

He claims the conversion was 22 years AFTER Jeb’s marriage to a Catholic. I have a relative who converted to Catholicism after 25 years of marriage to a Catholic. And went thru with the conversion after his Catholic wife died. Guess he’d better never run for office, or Maher will be on his case.

[Vigilanteman]

Maher is impersonating a human being for political gain.

As Maher put it, George W. Bush became an Evangelical Christian before running for governor of Texas, a state where 34% of voters fall in that category. Similarly, Jeb Bush went from Protestant to Catholic and won the governorship in a state where 26% of voters are Catholic.

W. changed religions years before running for governor. He became a Methodist in 1979 and had his Evangelical experience in 1985 and ran for governor in 1994.

With Jeb, he didn't become a Catholic for political reasons. He may have wanted to assert himself as a religious churchgoer for political reasons, and his wife's Catholic Church was the obvious choice.

Certainly he didn't have any of the ethnic appeal that might sway Catholic voters, and becoming a Catholic might actually have hurt him with some voters more than it helped him overall.

[Grateful2God]

I’d campaign for him- whether or not he’s Catholic.

Similarly, Obama went Islam, to Christian, then back to Islam.

obozo never left islam, it was a disguise.

[verga]

Screw this little commie pinko fag.

I don't care for either of them , but which one are you referring to, or was it both.

Bush is a Third Degree Knight of Columbus. ref.

Second worst news I have heard today.

Let me guess. You object to selling Tootsie Rolls to raise money for the mentally handicapped.

Will there be a media firestorm deploring those who question the sincerity of the religious beliefs Jeb Bush? Of course not. Unfortunately, the Jeb haters and Catholic haters here on FR will play right along.

well I am a Catholic, that doesn't like Jeb, but it is based on his lack of Conservative creds.

[Drango]

I heard Bill Maher became a pedophile for personal gain. Just a rumor, I can’t confirm.

[verga]

Let me guess. You object to selling Tootsie Rolls to raise money for the mentally handicapped.

I made my 4th degree three years ago. I object top his position on immigration, his (in)actions regarding Teri Schrivo, his support of common core, and the list goes on.He is not a Conservative and I will not support another squishy Rino. I held my nose and voted for McLame, and for Mittens, but if we don't have an honest to God Conservative running I will be sitting this one out. The Repubicans want a Rino they can die with him and with out my vote this time around.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Interesting because I don’t think a Catholic has ever been nominated for President by the GOP.

They nominated a Catholic for veep in 1964.

[Unam Sanctam]

And they scream at Scott Walker for giving no opinion on whether Obama is Christian, but this sort of questioning of someone’s faith is acceptable?

[Not gonna take it anymore]

You, sir are a liar. You hate the Bushes so much that you will accuse them of anything. You need to pray for forgiveness for your unspeakable lies.

Schindler: Jeb Bush Was Right to Try to Save My Sister
February 25, 2015 (NewsMax) - Jeb Bush is again coming under attack for his support of the parents of Terri Schiavo in a bitter end-of-life dispute a decade ago, but his help was legally - not politically - motivated, Schiavo’s brother argues in a defense of the former Florida governor.

One could only wish that this BM would convert to being a funny comedian.

[Arthur McGowan]

What your links show is that Jeb Bush repeatedly requested OTHERS to stop the murder of Terri Schiavo.

Eventually, all those other people refused.

When that time came, Jeb Bush had a duty to send in cops and/or troops to rescue Terri from her murderers. He could and should have gone in person to direct the rescue.

He refused to do it. That made him a murderer.
