Jeb is the problem.

Also his complicity in the killing of Terri Schiavo.

The only takeaway that I got was that Jeb Bush's "Romney Issue" is that he, too, abuses the tax laws to avoid paying taxes.

And that Romney is backing Jeb Bush.

In a lot of ways, while we were cursed to be saddled with Obama, we dodged a lot of bullets. If McCain won, America would be a smoldering radioactive pit, and if Romney won, conservatives would be in real trouble as he sought to foil us at every turn.

My mother has a better chance of winning the nomination than Jeb Bush...and she’s been dead for 10 years.

No. Jeb Bush has a Jeb problem, a Bush problem, a Jeb Bush problem, a Bush Jeb problem, and a few others.

These cardboard cutout losers will destroy the GOP party, worst case, and/but they’ll make it so that even worse Democrats will win and win big.

Unfortunately, her voting record says she recently voted Democrat. ;-)

Jeb Bush head of new offshore private equity fund
By Peter Sullivan

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a possible Republican 2016 presidential candidate, is heading up a new offshore private equity fund and has a range of other financial dealings that could open him up to campaign attacks, Bloomberg reports.

Documents filed on Nov. 27 list Bush as chairman and manager of a new private equity fund, BH Global Aviation, which has raised funds mostly from foreign investors, Bloomberg reports. It incorporated in the United Kingdom and Wales, which Bloomberg reports is a structure that allows investors to avoid U.S. taxes.

There are at least two other funds that Bush has launched in the last two years, according to Bloomberg. One, BH Logistics, was founded in April with the backing of a Chinese conglomerate.

Bush said last week that he will make a decision on a presidential run in “short order.” But the new private equity dealings raise the question of whether Bush is in fact planning to run. And if he does, the funds are sure to be used as fuel for attacks.

In the 2012 campaign, Republican nominee Mitt Romney faced a barrage of attacks over his own work in the financial sector.

Bush has made other moves that suggest he could be running. Last week, he voiced some of his vision for a Republican Party that is more centrist, calling on the nominee to “lose the primary to win the general” election.

And he has already taken a shot at Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, calling out her comment that businesses do not create jobs. Clinton later clarified that she meant lowering business taxes does not create jobs.

Just some boring financial stuff. I was hoping it would be something juicier like polygamous ancestors fleeing to Mexico to avoid the anti-polygamy laws in the US.

“Jeb Bush has a Romney Problem” No, Jeb Bush and Romney have a leftist RINO problem, along with Chris Christie and (as Mark Levin would say) a conga line of crony capitalist who support these RINO’s.
