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.

YES, WET BEHIND YOUR EARS, YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT, IT IS!
Election 2010 is ALL about electing as many CONSERVATIVE Republicans to congress as humanly possible.
Election 2010 is ALL about regaining Republican majorities in both the US Senate and House and in every state house and in local races, including school boards also.
I agree. It’s so easy for them to claim they’re a third party right winger. Might fool some people, not me. A disruptor is a disruptor. They do not go after the Marxist in power. Very telling.

Relevant information about Mr. Greenbaum.
Obama has his trolls pretending to be conservatives yet attacking and seeking to divide conservatives all over the internet.
I've watched the posts of Norman here. He's a divider. A trouble-maker.
And my educated guess? Not a conservative at all. Either that, or a banned re-tread.
They're doing it on Sarah threads all over the place. They seek to sow discord and keep us from being united to get the Marxists out of power.
It IS very telling.
The mods can do an IP address compare for a retread.
Ah, yes...I had the unpleasant experience of meeting Mr. Greenbaum. I believe it was on a Moonbat Medina thread.
I don’t remember much in the way of details (most trolls are so forgettable), but the word “jerk” comes to mind.
You are a slanderer. Engaging in fascist shouting down those with whom you oppose is found at Leftist rallies.
That you mean objecting to and stating the disastrous policies of George W. Bush render me a "divider"? Laughable.
You're in the wrong country, lady. THIS IS AMERICA. (You remember? !st Amendment and all that jazz?)
Yes, and I recall President Bush doing NOTHING about those attacks. Rarely did he ever defend himself. Why not??
What you've posted is emotional drivel. The facts don't back you up.
I stand by every single one of those facts - and they are indeed FACTS. NEVER has America been in more dire straits than after his 8 years of Centrist governance. He has gift-wrapped and left us in the hands of a Marxist whose mission is to destroy America as we knew it.
LOL! You have a way with words, Allegra. :)
I know you just signed on a few weeks ago, but this is a conservative forum.
I guess I knew that. It’s why so many disappear so quickly. :)
I havent read this whole thread (I have seen em before) but I cant remember anyone ever talking about GW’s attempt to deal with Social Security and Medicare. All the slobbering about how he didnt use the veto pen when he went out there and danced on the third rail of politics. No he couldnt magically fix it without the Dems. but he damn well tried. And SS is where ALL the money was going (until Obama took over)
Norm,
what was your handle before you where banned last time? It takes a while to get used to the HTML thingy here and you mastered it from day 1.
Norm, you smell funny
>>Norm, you smell funny<<
Agreed — I worked a a retread factory (really!) when I was in HS and the smell was VERY similar. Like doo doo burning in rubber...
Good point.
After a while you develop a sixth sense about these things, and even with a severe rhinovirus I smelled this one. ;)
It was directed Mike...and others who told me to “shut up” not you particularly
Currently waiting for a sea shepherd troll to man up and do his own battles rather than conning others into doing his fighting for him.
(He’s easy enough to find.)

Please make a note.
I've watched the posts of Norman here. He's a divider. A trouble-maker.
Is this an admission that you have preemptively attack me at this thread and slandered me? According to your homepage you're a Christian, right? ACT LIKE ONE.
IF you ever address me again, address me with civility - otherwise you are disregarded as worthy of my time.
