I think the Bushes are nice people. You don’t hear of any scandals in their family, nor anything about the men cheating on their wives. I’ll give them kudos for that. However, Jeb isn’t the one we need at a crucial time in our history such as this. Plus, his stance on illegals is horrific.

I think the Bushes are quite callous, lacking strong moral conviction, and not at all “nice!” How could the Bush brothers, one governor of Florida, the other president of the US, stand by and let Terri Schiavo murdered in such a cruel manner? Either one of them could have stopped it, yet they did not, because it was not politically expedient to do so. They are truly depraved men, both of them, as much a blight on the presidency as Millard Filmore, Lyndon Johnson, Franklin Roosevelt, and Bill Clinton, and it is my fervent prayer that Jeb Bush will ever hold office again!

Except for this 'little' bump...

Neil Bush was a member of the board of directors of Denver-based Silverado Savings and Loan during the 1980s' larger savings and loan crisis. As his father, George H.W. Bush, was Vice President of the United States, his role in Silverado's failure was a focal point of publicity. According to a piece in Salon, Silverado's collapse cost taxpayers $1.3 billion.

The US Office of Thrift Supervision investigated Silverado's failure and determined that Bush had engaged in numerous "breaches of his fiduciary duties involving multiple conflicts of interest." Although Bush was not indicted on criminal charges, a civil action was brought against him and the other Silverado directors by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; it was eventually settled out of court, with Bush paying $50,000 as part of the settlement
