And Hillary is more Marxist-Stalinist than Obama. A distinction without a difference.
Hint: All of the Bush clan are Country Club Republicans (read: GOPe).
To: Kevin in California
So he’ll mint somewhat less expensive new liberal entitlements?
Oh goody...

Beyond Common Core and amnesty for tens of millions of illegals, most don’t remember that as the governor he blocked offshore drilling in waters off of Florida...and don’t forget he’s a euthanasia enthusiast. Chamber of Commerce tool is what ¡Heb! is.

They are both open border harlots.
And Bush Sr. is their mack daddy.

The message is: "Hey you conservatives out there, just vote for Jeb and the world will be a better place."
Translation: Please vote for Jeb, he is the only one who Hillary can beat.

Conservative eh? A lot of good that does if he wants to tear down our immigration enforcement go to an open border society and bring in millions of undocumented and documented Democrats. Where does that lead Jeb? Boy that is so good that you are conservative other wise isn't it?

That’s like saying Rosanne Barr is better looking than Rosy O’Donnell.

"NO ONE WANTS ANOTHER CLINTON!" Hillary will pull at least 55 million votes. That's a lot of "no one's". Just sayin'.
To: Kevin in California
I think this is what is known as “damning with faint praise”.
