Jeb Bush presents undeserving Hillary Clinton with Liberty Medal
Washington Times ^ | September 13, 2013 | James Richard Edwards

Posted on 09/14/2013 11:43:03 PM PDT by iowamark

On Tuesday September 10, Jeb Bush, chairman of the board for the National Constitution Center and former governor of Florida, presented former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with the group’s annual Liberty Medal. It is widely speculated that both Bush and Clinton will run for their party’s nomination for the presidency in 2016.

It is hard to understand why Gov. Bush would want to bolster Secretary Clinton’s credentials in such a way...

In fact, following her stint as Secretary of State, it has been argued that America has never been more irrelevant and disrespected on the world stage...

She accomplished nothing of note while in the Senate and destroyed America’s reputation on the world stage as Secretary of State, yet a likely Republican candidate for President in 2016 has chosen to bolster her credibility in all of these areas with this award.

It is possible that Gov. Bush thinks this move will benefit him in his run for the Republican nomination for president in 2016, or maybe he truly believes Clinton is worthy of this award. Regardless, he has proven himself unworthy of leading this country by choosing Mrs. Clinton as the beneficiary of the National Constitution Center’s annual Liberty Medal.

By choosing her and personally presenting the award to her, it shows that Bush either does not understand or does not care that Clinton has done nothing but fight against true constitutional principles her entire public career, including “advocating for universal, affordable healthcare.” People who do not care for or understand true constitutional principles are unfit for the Presidency and this act should disqualify Bush for the 2016 Republican nomination for President.

That alone is enough to ensure I won’t vote for Jeb if he somehow gets the nomination. I’m sick of the behind the scenes collusion between the republican and democrat power brokers.

The only thing more beneficial than being a friend of the Bushes is being an enemy of the Bushes.

The fact that Jeb Bush doesn’t see that Hillary’s being pro-abortion makes her an anti-American, anti-Constitution, anti-freedom traitor disqualifies him from the Presidency.

I will never, never forgive or forget Jeb’s failure to save the life of Terri Schiavo. It was his duty to take custody of Terri and prevent her murder.

What is the “National Constitution Center?” Is it an organization created by Washington insiders so that they could give awards to each other and have press releases?

AMEN !

From the website of The Constitution Center;


Our Vision
We envision a more perfect union where “We the People” know our Constitution, celebrate our freedoms, embrace our role as citizens, and inspire the world.

Our Mission
We seek to illuminate constitutional ideals and inspire acts of citizenship.

The wording is so touchy feely ... "comprehensive"

I know he’s an idiot but if he’s running this seems a highly retarded thing to do. Does he want to seem “bipartisan”?

I guess that must be it. Or he’s not running and doesn’t care to help us win.

Do you think he figures that A Hillary / Bush ticket “could carry Florida ? “. What other sane explanation for Jeb doing such an appallingly ridiculous and embarrassing thing? Or?

We need not worry. In 2020, it won’t be a nearly 68-year old Jeb running, it will be President Ted Cruz running for his second term.

I don’t know what’s inside his head. But, I know what’s inside mine. And, I know that my list of RINO’s that I will now never vote for has grown to two; Chris Christie and Jeb Bush.

"The entire piece at the link is well worth the read."

But the photo is all you should need to know that Jeb "Amnesty!" and Hillary "Bengazi" are birds of a feather.


Any vote or support for the 1st is no different than a vote or support for the 2nd.

Jeb should have listened to his Mother.

I hope someone’s got a picture and the video of the event for future reference so that when the GOP-E starts pushing Jeb for POTUS in 2015, we can remind everybody what a flaming RINO he really is.

Way too much Jeb and Hillary for me at 7 am. I prefer to wake up slowly, not churning with disgust.
