Got carried away with his fantasy of being an illegal Hispanic? Sending a message that he is “one of them”? Thinks he is an Hispanic in the wrong body of an American? At home he even speak Spanish, and he just adores the Hispanic 3rd World invaders.

Why are we marking our race on voter registrations anyway? Isn’t that a racist thing to do?

He thinks like one so the error is understandable.

He has been whipped by his Mexican wife so long he doesn’t know who or what he is.

If we take the biblical meaning of ‘becoming one’ with the Mexican wife then he is at least half a hispanic. /s

Maybe Jeb thought that "Hispanic" meant anyone who can speak Spanish.

Maybe that's an idea. Anyone who has passed a high school or college class in Spanish should qualify as "Hispanic."

Oh come come now, it’s more fun it’s a stupid, pointless conspiracy (like he want to boosted the # of Hispanics in Miami-Dade by ONE because...........? WTF?) it doesn’t need to make any SENSE.

I mean someone checking the wrong box by mistake.....that kind of thing just doesn’t happen. ;p

This has nothing to do with this thread, but I just saw posted on Poltics1.com, and I didn’t know this, WINO (WHIG IN NAME ONLY, he was a democrat bastard before and after) President John Tyler has 2 living grandsons.

Who does he think he is, a Saudi King? ;D

Here’s another gem

“KENTUCKY: Gov candidate Terrill Newman (Ind) legally changed name last month to Gatewood Galbraith - the name of freq Gov cand who died (in) ‘12.”

And then there’s this, not backed up by any articles I can find.

“FLORIDA: Cong Tom Rooney (R) wanted to run for US Sen in 2018, but now says he may run ‘16 as he doesn’t want to face Gov Scott in ‘18 prim.”

Atwater is stronger opponent than Scott in my view.

And there’s a Qunnipiac poll showing Rob Portman trailing Ex-Governor Ted “Meathead” Strickland by 9 points in Ohio, probably meaning Portman is narrowly ahead.

12.

I disdain Jeb Bush but the one, and only, reason this story is of any importance is that fact that mis-marking your race on a government form can be construed as a felony.

And checking this box on a form that the City Clerk will see once before filing away entitles him to what? Why is the government even asking?

Can’t be a serious problem, right? After all, if you can self-identify as “gay” and be taken seriously, why not be a Juan for a day?

Women who marry Hispanics can claim to be Hispanic....why can’t men?

How on earth does one make a mistake like that?

You don't. 'Race' is a closely checked box for all but true idiots.

I disagree with those who claim Bush didn’t gain from this - its just an honest mistake. He did it from a position of white guilt. He want to self identify himself as a minority to gain from it politically

Bush may have signed it, but I’m sure he didn’t fill it out...

I understand your feeling. My feeling is a vote for Chuckie Cheese for Majority Leader is 11 times gayer than anything Portman will do.
