Bushes in Naples: George W. and Jeb show personal side in appearance

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.

Again, when you come in and start bashing a Republican, it sets off all kinds of alarms. Your posting history will speak for itself.

I am a conservative. The conservative wing of the Republican party speaks for me. NOT the RINOs or Centrists. Let's consider that all Republicans are NOT "conservative." Do we concur?

Do not expect me to run with the GOP herd; If they do not represent my conservative values, tenets, and principles they simply will not be supported. They are worst than Democrats because we expect all Republicans to do the right thing - not stab us in the back.

Your posting history will speak for itself.

So it will.

Allegra, are you "compulsive?" SHAME on you! ;*)

I'm very curious about this post, Darksheare.

Can you fill me in on the "sea shepherd troll" thing, and where I might find him? :)

No evidence that you are a conservative, Norm. Lots of evidence that you're a disruptor.

There isn't an iota's worth of intellectual honesty and fair-mindedness from you, nor is there a shred of evidence that you realize George W. Bush is no longer President.

#1 Suggestion: A 2010 calender.

Curious that you came in swinging at a whole lot of conservative Republicans, Norm.

Another part of your story that doesn't pass the smell test.

Everyone you've attacked here is a proven conservative, and the ones you're high fiving are not.

Pretty strange for a conservative Republican.......wouldn't you say?

I would.

Bizarre post.

Are you not feeling well?

Apparently not.

I'm the one working against Obama. You're the one attacking the man who is no longer President. You have analyzed the situation precisely opposite of the way it really exists.

You poor Bush haters are obsessed. Take something for it! There must be something that can help you get over it.

btw, do have any problems with Obama, or are you on his team? Real live freepers want to know.....

"Live" ones? Wow. You mean those who inhale oxygen? I believe they you speak of have already connected those two dots.

Monitor my posts, and you'll receive you answer. Now if you'll excuse me, my next appointment has arrived.

Thanks for the interesting chat.

"... George W. Bush is no longer President."

That's one thing you've said that's true. Currently there is no one who legitimately occupies the office of President.

I've seen quite enough of your posts, Norm, and I certainly won't waste my time tracking them. (I'll leave that to the Mods, whom I'm sure are more interested than I am).

No more interest in continuing this upside down, backwards discussion. Bye, Norm. Make sure to take whatever it is you've had prescribed to you. ;*)

Exactly. And that's the reason we need to work together to get the best conservative candidate we can for 2012 and to replace the Marxists in Congress with conservative Republicans in 2010.

This guy and his team are doing their best to destroy us, and we can't let them.

You ain’t no n00b — we just need the mods to track down your prior name.

And Bush-bashing is juvenile and pathetic when you libs do it. Give it a rest, obama-worshiper, he has been out of office for a year.

If you want to keep your new account after your old one was banned I would suggest you back off on the personal attacks.

“I am a conservative.” You’re a liar. IN your previous incarnation at FR you were a lot of things, but conservative was not one of them.

No one would argue the line between conservative/Republican in many politicians.

But I can not stress how important it is for you to read my words:

When you are a newbie, and you begin your tenure by bashing republicans- even RINOs, it makes you someone of suspicion.

As a conservative, you should understand that on a political forum.

A retread? Oh just spare us the drama and ban him now. It isn’t worth it for any of us.

LOL - FR has its own resident fake shrink (for however long he lasts.)

Poor guy is scared. You can always tell they're scared when they start with the pseudo analysis. He probably thinks he's the first one to use that cute little tactic. ;-)

Your posting history seems to indicate a compulsive tendency (or knack) for jumping people and targeting them for ridicule for little or no reason. Exactly when did that begin in your life?

Oh, that would have been about the time I met my first Paulbot. ;-)
