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.

IOW, "Papers, please?"
I understand loyalty, but let's be fair-minded.
Don’t you mean RINOvirus?
It is considered bad etiquette at a forum NOT to ping someone you’re speaking about without their knowledge. But considered the source, and lack of any real substance of that source, it’s not surprising.
Yes, and I am attempting to inject conservative thought into this forum - not the kind that George W. Bush and his minions pretended were "conservative."
Maybe your 11 year old could have helped you out. It's quite simple, and has been since the late '90s.
Btw, I've noticed the lovely list of friends you've called in for back up - most of whom appear to be ladies. Having a tea party?
Could just be your underarm deodorant.
Are any of you interested in discussing the merits of conservatism or defending the Presidency of George Bush, or is your obsession all about playing, “Get-The-Noobie”??
It is considered bad etiquette at a forum for rude, obnoxious newbies to tell real FReepers what to do.
Normally, I do ping others when mentioning them, but that's out of respect.
See where this is going now?
love this! thank you for sharing...
The reality is, most IP addresses are checked *because* of past trolls. Don't blame the site owner or mods- blame the people who's actions made it so.
"Rude, obnoxious"...
Where did I see that again?:
"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.

Who's the "jerk" again?
As if your blatant hypocrisy and pathetic projection isn't enough, you're an intellectual gnat.
Thanks for addressing this issue head on. "Newbies" are a concern at every forum on the planet.
I understand measures must be taken at larger conservative forums like this, but paranoia and unfounded accusations of "troll" and "disruptor" are not fair. And it's not right. Especially of those who espouse conservative values and arrive to Free Republic to share those values. I didn't come here to get my kicks out of pulling the wings off of butterflies for sport.
LOL - do I really have to remind you? Just go back and read your posts - on this thread alone.
Surely, you're not that dense... ;-)
Again, when you come in and start bashing a Republican, it sets off all kinds of alarms. Your posting history will speak for itself.
And this makes a difference exactly how??
You said you hated people who support President Bush. You said you hated MikefromOhio, and thousands of other freepers.
That's pretty black and white, meandog.
Or should I say, black.
LOL! Do you get your information from DU or Huffpo?
He wasn't married in 1976, and he was driving too slowly. And actually, if he had brought it up early in the campaign it wouldn't have been a story at all, since it was 25 years earlier, and he had been a teetotaller for most of those years.
The only reason it made a dent in his numbers was because it was a leftist bomb shell late in the campaign.
Once again, you agree with them and like that they did it. You're on the side of the left nearly 100% when it comes to President Bush.
Shameful.
And you?
Lots of evidence that you're a disruptor.
Serially telling people how "obnoxious" or "jerky" they are. Not normal. That's obnoxious and jerky in itself, and anti-social. But maybe you're oblivious. I suppose it's due to a lack of control in your own life.
Now how much of a clinical problem that is, well I'd rather it be left to others to figure out your problems because I couldn't care less, and because I usually require an appointment, and of course, a fee.
Where did you come up with that swill? LOL!
btw, do have any problems with Obama, or are you on his team?
Real live freepers want to know.....
LOL - you do have a high opinion of yourself, don’t you?
You’re entertaining for now. Obnoxious. but amusing
