NAPLES — The Bush brothers packed the house at the Naples Grande Beach Resort.
Former President George W. Bush and his brother Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, spoke Tuesday night as part of the Naples Town Hall Distinguished Speakers Series. They talked issues _ everything from health care and the Iraq war to budget deficits and Social Security reform.
George W. Bush, the 43rd U.S. president, has stayed out of the spotlight, limiting his face-time in public since leaving the White House about a year ago.
He and his brother – the state’s 43rd governor – addressed a crowd of more than 1,000 who purchased tickets to see them. Tickets to hear the duo speak started at $200.
The brothers had the crowd laughing, clapping and sighing with heart-felt emotions as they showed their more personal side. A few times, George W. Bush fought tears as he talked about the support of his wife in the Oval Office and how his decisions to send more troops to Iraq hurt families in the U.S. who lost their sons, daughters, husbands and wives to the war.

George W. Bush:
Enabled TARP * Enabled Campaign Finance Reform * Disabled Border Enforcement during a "War on Terror" * Endorsed Amnesty * Plotted "North American Union" * Indebted America by a trillion dollars over "Nation Building" * Wrecked the economy * Wrecked the currency * Collaborated with Kennedy * Collaborated with Specter * Collaborated with B. Clinton * Collaborated with the Saudis * Neglected to vet B. Hussein Obama while still able and in office * Flushed an near-super-majority of Republican dominance down the drain * Neglected to implement conservative agenda * Left America with Obama and a Democratic/socialist super-majority.
In short; Bush's 8 years = Screwed Train Wreck.
I don’t consider those who were in favor of intervention in Kosovo to be traitors (even though I strongly opposed the intervention myself). Misguided, yes. Traitors, no. You and others love to toss that word around casually until it has no real meaning left.
I'm old enough to know that the establishment, along with clueless folks like you who support them no matter what, is dumping trillions in debt on the backs of my generation.
Notice that I said establishment: that's both Democrat AND Republican!
If you're going to talk about Bob J, please ping him.
btw, I don’t hate you.
And Rabs spends vastly more time attacking Pubbies like Sarah than he does attacking Obama and the Dems. But that’s what I’d expect from a third-party shill.
He’s not here to ping, thankyouverymuch and FYI, I know him in person. He’s a long time friend of mine.
Ah yes, let's just circle the wagons around the Republicans...because this is all about just electing Republicans. /sarc
Bwahahahaha! You did not seriously just say that after all the garbage you post about Palin for the exact same reason?
Hehehehe....hahahaha...*snort*...Hahaha
Case closed!
“In short; Bush’s 8 years = Screwed Train Wreck.”
Indeed. Such a wasted opportunity. So much damage.
We didn’t know we were electing a globalist Democrat.
We know now.
Yeah, Rabs, at this point it IS just that. The GOP is the only real electable counterweight to the Dems now. And as bad as the GOP got with spending a few years back, they were pikers compared to what we see now with the Dems in charge.
Until you can offer a viable alternative to the GOP, you would get a lot more cred here if you spent as much time attacking Dems as you do pubbies.
Incidentally, did you ever answer my question about whether or not you have actually done anything to help elect a conservative candidate?
Pounded the pavement going door to door? Made phone calls? Contributed to conservative only candidates?
Is there a reason you've assiduously refused to answer my questions? Is it because you're all talk and no action? Is it because you sit at a computer, but don't ever engage in the real political process where RINO's are defeated and conservatives elected?
Even though you just graduated and probably can't contribute much money, you're young and you could be going door to door for the candidate of your choice.
Have you ever done anything besides talk, and attack people who live what they believe?
Please answer this time. It's a significant question.
Over the years, how many rabscuttle385 disruptors have we seen come and go? Third party shills, divide and conquer, one trick ponies? Same MO. Never attack the democrats, especially the Marxist in office and his administration that’s intent on destroying our Republic.
Never mind that he’s just announced his health care plan this morning.
This whole family is little better than the Kennedy’s.
Thank you again for your articulation in representing many of our opinions of George W. Bush.
His dereliction of duty, incompetence, and un-conservative policies have rendered America a basket case in the hands of the worst possible "Leader" imaginable - Barack Hussein al-Obama.

We have been delivered into the hands of our enemies by someone claiming to be our friend... and some wonder why we might greet that with righteous anger?
caluvdubya!!!!!
I remember my comment after she posted that:
ROTFLMAO!!!
These disruptors spend ALL their time attacking Republicans, and ZERO attacking the Marxists who are now controlling this nation.
Question - how can you tell a 3rd party disruptor from a DU disruptor?
Answer - You can't. They're the same animal.
We know now.
And yet somehow this obvious globalist is commended for a job "well-done"? Honored? Feted as a man of "character"??
Nice to know he and his brother are charging $200 a ticket (as people are losing jobs and sleeping in cars) at a road-show for the "privilege" of hob-nobbing with yet another celebrity-President.
I'm only surprised he didn't tour with Bill Clinton.
There are a host of factual reasons for the election of Obama, but Bush's "dereliction of duty" (where did you come up with THAT nonsense?? LOL!) is not among them.
If you don't know about the media attacks on Bush for 8 years, the media worship of Obama, the weak, hapless candidacy of McCain, the Dem induced financial breakdown in the fall of '08, the white guilt of a whole lot of stupid Americans, the American idol, "He's cool!" youth votes Obama got, and the millions of illegal foreign dollars that poured into the Obama campaign, you really need to read up.
What you've posted is emotional drivel. The facts don't back you up. Period.
I'm sure even Judas had his groupies.
