Wednesday at Elmhurst College in Oak Brook, IL, former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL) called on voters to stop rewarding politicians who used derogatory characterizations to make themselves look better.
Bush said, Here is the dirty secret, politics is embedded in our culture. We are our culture. The interaction of all of us together defines our culture and our culture is more vulgar then it once was. Our culture allows people to act in ways that thirty years ago would never be allowed in politics. Our culture is more reality TV based, so it shouldnt be a surprise that our politics is that way.
He added, Voters should penalize rather than reward politicians, irrespective of their party, that use racist language or call people Nazis or disparage the disabled or make fun of people in order to push someone down to make themselves look better. That should be a penalty. You should be in a penalty box rather than getting rewards for that.
After telling a story about Trump calling him a name during the 2016 campaign, Bush continued, The first step is to change the language around political discourse and get it back to something at your own kitchen table you could tolerate. At least in my kitchen table, I could promise you if I talked like the people I hear on television today talk, my mother would have gotten her board out and whipped my butt, which she did occasionally.

Instead, reward the Terry Shiavo killer and the rest of his crime family.

OK. Now why didn’t you tell me how I was supposed to vote before?
He was actually a decent governor in Florida.
Wasn’t he a governor or something?
So yeb is calling for cancelling 90% of current shows due to blatant racism? Against evil former slave owners that is.
Hey Jeb, say that again, only this time stand on your tippy toes.
LOL
Trump should have just wiped the floor with Jeb, he’s such POS and worse.
LOL again
There was nothing more telling about the character of each candidate than that incident.
Jeb , Cruz and the rest happy to march straight in past Dr Carson without a care for the humiliation and embarrassment that good man must have felt.
Trump showed such respect courtesy and decency towards the Good Doctor
An “act of love”????
We tried it your way for decades, Jeb. Even your brother presided over a Republican/Conservative Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary at one time and decided to be above the fray when Democrats tore into him like sharks on a whale carcass. He never hit back at his detractors. He gave Democrats everything they ever wanted. He even shared power. And what came of it? A $10 trillion deficit, mired in two protracted wars, and an open southern border that has been nothing but a source of misery and trouble.
We knew exactly what to expect when you ran.
Sorry Jeb, you dummsh*t!
The First Amendment has firmly established that censorship is prohibited by the Federal Government and, by extension, State Legislatures.
Really?
You wanted to be president?
JUST GO AWAY, PLEASE!
Isn't it a kick when stupidities you embrace come back and bite you in your sorry ignorant a*s?
What Trump did in the primaries was the equivalent of a guy walking into Jebs house, banging his wifes, drinking all his beer and then f*rting on his face.
Jeb was utterly and completely cuckolded by Trump
It always showed what a classless jerk Jeb! was and is.
Thanks for posting.
HEY JEB!! MR. TRUMP WON!! YOU LOST!!
NO ONE WILL EVER MAKE JEB! PRESIDENT!!
Well, maybe LaRaza or Aztlan....
What’s with the apostrophe?
We have Hillary. Comey, Schumer, Obama, and Lorner to name a few problems with our political and government culture and he is concerned about reality TV.
What a Maroon! (Bugs Bunny).
