Mr. Saccharin Sunshine Underwhelms
American Spectator ^ | Sept. 11, 2015 | Larry Thornberry

Posted on 09/12/2015 5:13:11 PM PDT by Twotone

During the rare moments when Stephen Colbert wasn’t talking over him, Jeb! Bush said a couple of things the other night that go a long way to explaining why, with enough campaign cash to pay off the national debt and buy every adult in the lower-48 a Prius, Jeb!’s support as measured in the polls is stuck in the mid-single-digits.

Warning: You should be sitting down for this.

“I don’t think Barack Obama has bad motives,” Jeb! said. “I just think he’s wrong on a lot of issues.”

I hope that he drops out soon, but I fear that he won’t.

I think your fear is correct.

Jeb has too much money remaining to "drop-out," and aside from that, Jeb is still counting on the GOPe machine to slay his rivals so that he can go onto to the nomination, as planned and preconceived.

“This is classic Bushie “new tone” horsesh**. Been there, done that, Bubye.”

That was my thought EXACTLY! What is this self-destructive tendency by Reps???

I also think if he had raised some doubts, concerns, about Iraq, the war, etc., he would have been met with applause. GW couldn’t possibly have known how things would go. And he was always so polite, never defending himself against the relentless media onslaught...

But Jeb said that GW didn’t cut spending enough.... that was a wimpy answer, IMO. Doesn’t he realize why GW (unfairly!!) was so hated by the left?

A Republican can bend over backwards spending like a drunken sailor and it will make zero difference to a liberal.

Yeah, McCain should have taken a break from defending Obama and defended his own VP pick.

He trashed Sarah .... I am a Christian but that is one hard thing to forgive. She is a good person, she is smart, and she will someday, God willing, be able to use her talents towards the betterment of the country she loves so much.

Energy Secretary in a Trump Administration. She acknowledged her job would be to shut it down.

Jeb Bush murdered Terri Schiavo, so it necessarily follows that he is intellectually and morally corrupt, and is incapable of speaking the truth about Obama.

Obama is a lifelong Marxist and Islamophile. He hates the West, and America, Jews, Christians, and the human race. He is a fanatical supporter of abortion and infanticide. He deliberately engineered the rise of ISIS and their rapes, beheadings, and other atrocities.

As Reagan said—”that’s unfair to sailors, since sailor are spending their own money on being drunk”... Demonrats and lib RINOs like jebbie are spending OUR money FOR other people, people and things we do not want.

We don’t need civility, we need f’n discipline and dead serious intent to revers the “good motives” of a malignant narcissistic marxist/alinskyite of black liberation theology and muslim religion. Jeb must be off his GD rocker to say shiite like that. If he DOES believe it— we should RUN, run from this moron of the dynasty establishment and NWO.

Why would any serious candidate even go on this show? The guy is a comedian pretending to be some leftist fantasy version of a reactionary conservative. What’s the point??

And Sarah turned around and stabbed Arizona in the back by making campaign ads for Juan McCain in 2010. We had him on the ledge and she pulled him back. I still haven’t forgiven her for that.

That cannot be said enough FRiend, if !YEB was unable to stand up to a third rate probate judge like George W. Greer, how in Hell would he stand up against Vladimir Putin, the mad mullahs in Iran, or Kim Jong Un in North Korea?

Jebuardo BOOOOOOSH has no balls, no spine, no guts.

I proudly voted for GHWB and GWB but that is the last vote I will cast for a Bush. Enough is enough.

If I were King, I would command that no one who has any relative who has held any office, even dog catcher, is eligible for any office in the land.
