Did Jeb Bush invest taxpayer money in porn?
The Hill ^ | 5/6/15 | Tim Devaney

Posted on 05/07/2015 8:36:47 AM PDT by jimbo123

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is coming under scrutiny from social conservatives for investing taxpayer money in a company with ties to pornography.

The former Florida governor invested $1.3 million from the state’s pension fund into Movie Gallery, a film rental company that offers X-rated films in addition to comedies and action movies, according to a report in the International Business Times.

The report examined thousands of emails from during his tenure that show a strained relationship between Bush and the “religious right."

I can’t see how a president Jeb would differ in the slightest from a president Hillary. It’s pretty obvious the same masters are pulling their strings.

I’m am as anti-Jeb as anyone, but this is ridiculous. Our closest viseo store growing up was Movie Gallery. Yes, there was a very small back room with porn, but the rest of the store was just like Blockbuster. “Investing in porn” is quite sensational, IMO.

Our main thrust is to prick holes in the stiff front erected by the smut dealers.
We must keep mounting an offensive to penetrate any crack in his defenses.
Let’s get on him.
Let’s ram through a stiff bail law so it will be hard for him to get it up.
It’ll be hard on us, but we can’t lick it by being soft!”

But will that go over with Jeb’s Catholics and Evangelicals?

Was one of Jeb’s porno movies maybe “Monica does Billy in the Oral Oriface” Or maybe “Billy finally gets a head”. Or maybe “the humble cigar”. Or maybe “ willie’s bent willie in action” or??? The possibilities are legion in Washington DC. . Maybe “Boehner’s boner”. Or “Frank’s Frankfurter”! Or “brocholi as a sex toy, starring Michelle O’Kenya”. Or?

If it was Hillary, it would be okay. She slides off the walls like the s*** she is.

I’d rather not play petty games. I am sure Cruz, being from Texas, has invested in oil and gas. Their retail stores sell cigarettes and alcohol. Did he “invest in” alcoholism and lung cancer? Of course not, but this is the only kind of stupid schit that these type of smears produce. There are hundreds of legitimate angles to attack Jeb from. This is just low information garbage.

Agreed. Jeb has no business running for national office. However, complaining about this is like complaining that he invested pension funds in VW and a VW Beetle was used in a porn movie.

Someone behind the scenes doesn’t want jeb as president and is sabotaging him by leaking a story like this.

To whoever that miscreant is, I say...

Thank you.

Truly a ridiculous characterization of Movie Gallery. It was a garden-variety movie rental chain.

Sounds like a dying business, too much free stuff to compete with.

Plus pirated stuff.

They tried to do the same to Romney with Marriott because they allowed guests to watch porn titles on their room TVs.

The problem is that the porn industry is a wholly owned Mob operation. Back in Chicago, a guy I knew in high school worked for his uncle in a printer's warehouse. He was the go-to guy if you wanted porn magazines. A few years later his uncle was found in the trunk of his car in the O'Hare long term parking...

This isn't super secret conspiracy nonsense. You live in Chicago, you learn it's the way the world works. There is the Hollywood 'godfather' Mob, and the Elmwood Park Outfit reality, the one that owns every politician in Cook County...

If Jeb Bush is dim enough to get his fingers dirty even in passing, he's WAY too stupid to be taken seriously as a candidate.
