The real answer....

The real answer is to eliminate target rich environments for mass shooters and to ensure that Americans (and, only Americans; not crimigrants) have the opportunity to exercise their second amendment rights wherever they go.

George P. spent millions to buy his seat. His opponent spent something like $10,000 on a statewide seat.

And still, with no visible opponent, 28% of voters said no.

I agree, more should have said no. But. He essentially ran uncontested.

"The real answer is to eliminate target rich environments for mass shooters and to ensure that Americans (and, only Americans; not crimigrants) have the opportunity to exercise their second amendment rights wherever they go."

That would expose, for example, legal residents from Australia, the U.K., Canada, New Zealand and others to being murdered in our country without being allowed to defend themselves.

Granted, though, we could deport all of the descendants of those who recently slithered in during the past 140 years (including those from Europe) and solve many problems related to fascism and communism along with relieving overcrowding on the coasts and decreasing public corruption.

It’s ridiculous to segment out those two words from the rest of his statement. It makes look like he made a single statement, “Stuff happens.” Which has a totally different meaning. What he actually said, there’s nothing wrong with.

This won’t help him (good). But it was a correct comment.

According to the latest polling, he is.

He is becoming nothing more than background noise in this race.

I understand, and agree with what he his saying (on this).

BUT - one does not equate ten people dead and many others seriously wounded by a nutcase shooter to “stuff”. Obviously that was not his intent - but that’s what it sounds like.

Obamanation lies and peoples die. From another article today concerning the shooting in Oregan by the liberal shooter Chris Harper Mercer

[The Federal Security Services (FSB) is reporting today that an American black-Islamist terror suspect, who yesterday committed an act of mass murder in the State of Oregon (United States), had been included on a list of 87,000 “known/suspected” Islamic terrorists that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) refused last month to accept from the Federation due to its not being “politically viable in the present atmosphere”.
According to this report, the black-Islamist terrorist who committed this act of terror, Chris Harper Mercer, had previously been indentified by electronic intelligence specialists within the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) as being an Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) adherent after he had attempted to gain passage to Syria via Turkey during the first week of September, 2015.
By the Obama regime refusing to accept this terror list from the Federation, this report continues, Mercer was able to accomplish his terror act when yesterday he killed 9 people and wounded 7 others at the Umpqua Community College prior to his being shot and killed by local US police forces.]

Yes, he is correct, but as usual he gave a weak defense in reaction to the Democrats attacks.

If Jeb has been paying attention, he would know that backing down to those attacks to any degree is the wrong thing to do. So when he defends this, in part, by claiming he wasn’t talking about Oregon in particular, but incidents in general, he basically comes across as a weasel.

What he should have done is to man up, since it’s obvious that he was talking about Oregon - and to say something like this:


“OK, yes, saying ‘stuff’ happens probably doesn’t set the right tone. But everyone knows what I was thinking and that I shied away from using the vernacular, since after all, I’m not Donald Trump. But if I’m going to get criticized anyway, then I’ll go ahead and amend my remark ... SH&T happens, OK. And as I’m using that word now to describe the terrible events that occurred in Oregon, a similar phrase comes to mind that aptly describes the criticism I’m getting for saying ‘stuff’ happens - it’s petty sh&t”.

Guaranteed, if he reacted that way, he’d move up a few points in the polls. But since he continues to act like a typical politician, his slide will continue. So sorry Jeb, but sh$t happens.

It’s probably the best thing I’ve heard him say yet, but he managed to say it in a way that seems to trivialize a tragedy. Not ready for prime time.

I was wondering about why the posts online weren’t picked up. Was on another thread last night that is correlated...

Thinking the unthinkable: A case for orchestration
10/2/2015 | By Laz A. Mataz

Posted on 10/2/2015, 10:23:45 AM by Lazamataz

I am increasingly suspicious — almost convinced — that these spree-shootings are orchestrated. Let us consider: Only days after Boehner resigns (but stays around through October, able to defy his base) TWO mass shooting events occur within hours of one another: The college in Oregon, and a lesser-publicized Inglis, Florida mass-shooting.

If Obama seemed angry, I suspect it was because the second shooting was so small. Note how the two shootings make a perfect diagonal across the country, symbolically book-ending us with violence.

It’s really hard to be the point-man in this controversial subject — that the mentally-ill and medicated can and are manipulated to commit acts of mass murder for political gain — but point-man, I shall be. I’ll take the catcalls of “conspiracy theorist” and “tin foil hat wearer” and so on. So long as the dialogue is started, I’ll take the heat.

It is actually well-known that low-level microwave radiation can cause deleterious mental effects on the brain:
