Really?

Emulate the only modern President who declined to run for a second term?

Jeb is a RINO’s wet dream.

He can out-Democrat the Democrats.

LBJ's legacy; Vietnam at a cost of 50,000+ young American lives. Give it up Jebby, your last name already makes you a pariah. We've had enough of you Bushes.

LBJ helps hide what JFK did to us.

From Vietnam, to the 1965 Immigration Act, to homelessness (permanently emptying the mental hospitals in 1963 legislation) to unionizing government, to stealing the 1960 election and giving us LBJ, JFK was the end of America.

“However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Boston’s WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s.

In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedy’s blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960.
In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin.

After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFK’s legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, “I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies.” Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.”

He just hopes that the ‘Average American’ only remembers LBJ as the ‘saviour’ that rescued the country after JFK assumed room temp and figures that most of the people that really ‘remember’ LBJ are either suffering dementia or some other form of malady that besets ‘older’ folks.

This just shows to go ya that you can never say die with these idiots.
Like Biden, Pelosi, Schultz, Jackson(take your pick) etc just when you think they can say nothing more stupid than their last statement, they drop another huge diaper load on us -

ANOTHER more than memorable one was when BO took to the airwaves AFTER D. Sterling.

“When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don’t really have to do anything, just let them talk” RIGHT ON BO ....
ANOTHER time BO says something I completely agree with. BO proves it every time he mounts the dais sans his teleprompter.

POLITICIANS - THE STUPID GIFT THAT KEEPS GIVING.

Will Rogers probably rolling over in his grave since he ‘missed’ the greatest ‘script’ writers. Ever.

LbJ. One of the most corrupt politicians in history. And creator of “ the Great Society” massive
Federalized welfare money- dispensing programs. Which have led us to the largest debt in world history. Sorry, Jeb, but we ain’t voting for you. But thanks for the clear warning about your candidacy.

Wow. So, Jeb really REALLY does not want to be President. Okay, fine. So why even bother with all this fan dancing when everything you are saying is making most the audience walk out if not run out? Jeb, are you sabotaging yourself? That’s kinda sick.

Ah, so ol’ Jeb wants to run as a democrat. Gotcha. Well I guess I know who I won’t be voting for.

I’m bookmarking this thread. It might come in handy if Jeb gets the nomination and the breathless exhortations of “He’s our only choice, he’s the lesser evil, etc.” begin.

I think Bush's comments are misunderstood here.

Jeb did not say he was in favor of LBJ's programs. He said he would get involved in relationships to pass legislation.

This is a direct contrast to Obama who never gets involved in congressional relationships...he just issues mandates from the top.

He should run as a Democrat. It would be a better ideological fit for him.

Jeb Bush will take us back to the good old days of race riots, campus unrest, no-win wars abroad, and a government program for every problem. Just what we need!
