Jeb Bush’s ad-lib offers Dems another gift
Politico ^ | 8/4/15 | Eli Stokols

Another ill-advised ad lib from Jeb Bush, another opportunity for Democrats.

Looking to curry favor with religious conservatives at the outset of a competitive primary fight, Bush on Tuesday repeated his call to cut off funding for Planned Parenthood — and then he went even further, questioning the amount of government support for women’s health programs generally.

The Romneyesque unforced error drew a fast and furious backlash from Democrats, causing Bush to backtrack almost immediately and to acknowledge that he “misspoke.”

The controversial comment came as Bush started to acknowledge the importance of federal funding for some women’s health programs, and then stopped mid-sentence to qualify his remarks, asserting that he believes the current amount of funding is likely too much.

“I’m not sure we need half a billion dollars in funding for women’s health programs,” Bush said, before continuing with his point.

Pretty soon, the only votes Jeb will have is his family, the Chamber of Commerce, and George Soros.

Well, to be fair, Jebby doesn’t use English too often.

It’s not his native tongue.

Jeb is Barbara's last hope for a dynasty in her lifetime. Give the poor woman a break.

"I have never wavered from my intention to advance the cause of diversity in new and more effective ways."

Jeb Bush

Don’t forget the 25% of the voters who don’t know the issues, don’t know the candidates but have a vague recollection of the name Bush and think it sounds Presidential.

Incomprehensible, given Fauxcahontas's recent diatribe on The Senate floor about the republican War against Women.

Bush really has to be dumped before he does any more damage

Jebby is going to be another Obama in the manner that he will need a full time staff to interpret what he “REALLY” meant to say.

Trumps endorsement after his first or second term? Won’t VP Cruz want that endorsement?

How about you support your candidate rather than tearing down Trump? Oh yeah, she is leading.

Pray America is waking

His first error was that he inadvertently spoke the truth. His second error was that he didn't grasp that he uttered the truth. The third, and biggest error was that he went wobbly and retreated like the nutless wonder that he is. He's learned nothing from Cruz or Trump, so his fourth error is that he's too stupid to acknowledge that he's stupid and should just keep his yap shut.

bush! is a maggot.

It looks like Karl Rove and Reince Priebus will need to send Jeb back to ESL school.

Jeb has zero common sense and can’t think on his feet.
