George H.W. Bush, Barbara Bush, George W. Bush to appear at Jeb Bush donor event
Washington Post ^ | 8/20/15 | Ed O'Keefe

For a candidate who insists "I'm my own man" anytime he's asked about his famous family lineage, Jeb Bush sure likes calling in blood relatives to help raise campaign cash.

The Republican presidential contender is hosting another campaign donor retreat in late October — his parents, former president George H.W. Bush and former first lady Barbara Bush, once again promise to be headliners at the "Jeb Celebration" to be held in Houston, and another notable Bush will be in attendance as well: his older brother, former president George W. Bush.

The event is billed as an end-of-quarter meeting of top fundraisers who help bundle at least $50,000 for Bush's campaign by the end of September. Jeb Bush's sons, Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush and Jeb Bush Jr., also plan to attend. Both sons are actively campaigning for their father and raising money among younger Republican donors.

George P. Bush was hired to do a job here in Texas. He should keep his ass in his office and not be politicking for daddy.

The Bush family are a bunch of beggars.

Well, they certainly don’t want to give him any of their money. They know a losing deal when they see it.

Bush can gather all the money he can, but he will not be President.

He says he is his own man, but leans on his family’s connections
to raise money.

Gosh, maybe the family gathering can sing the praises of Prescott Bush, one of the first treasurers of Planned Parenthood.

Why doesn't that family just GO AWAY???

“He says he is his own man,”

What the meaning of “is” ain’t.

Man, Jebbie was just in a reporter scrum shown on Fox where he trashed The Donald big-time. Those were fighting words. Expect big-time Trump counter attack, very, very soon, lol.

Perhaps if the Bush family had cared enough about their Country, Barry might not be President, this Administration/Politicians(rinos/dems/socialists) would NOT be destroying America. Perhaps George W. Bush could have answered Obama’s relentless attacks on W’s Presidency.

Two of the top 10 worst presidents of all time. Jeb wants to knock someone out of the list. I guess that’s why GWB and GHWB want Jeb to be president so bad.
