[ Jeb Bush is different. When a savvy aide suggested he just avoid the whole touchy subject now that Common Core has become a hot potato, he wouldn’t. “I respect those that don’t agree with me,” he explained. “What I don’t accept are dumbing down standards and expectations.”
The man’s grammar may remain Bushian — it seems to be a family trait — but his principles remain intact. Or as he put it, “I just don’t feel compelled to run for cover when I think this is the right thing to do for our country.” What’s this — a Republican politician with enough character not to pander to the zealots on his party’s far right? Even as the far right comes closer and closer to capturing the GOP’s center. Or at least intimidating it.
However well Jeb Bush fares in the quadrennial circus known as an American presidential election, he seems to have a higher standard than just winning an election: being true to himself. ]
I know several libs who think that Jeb Bush is the “Smart Bush”, will THEY vote for Bush, NO, they won’t...
Actually I think Jeb is the Bush that happens to only LOOK and SOUND Smart, I think he is a complete dumbass, GW Bush just happens to LOOK dumb and sound Dumb, but probably is marginally a bit smarter than Jeb.
Forrest Gump’s mama kept telling him that “stupid is as stupid does”. I agree with that, judge intelligence by actions and you will soon realize that some of the “smartest” people you will ever meet if you are going by “education” or IQ score will turn out to be as dumb as a dingbat. First rule, if you have voted for a Democrat for president in the past fifty years you are an idiot. I am not saying you should have voted Republican every time but you should NOT have voted Democrat in any presidential election in the past fifty years. If you voted for Obama twice you should have a keeper watching over you twenty four hours a day and you should not be allowed within fifty feet of a sharp object, even if you are a brain surgeon. If you won the triple crown, voting twice for Carter, twice for Clinton and twice for Obama you must have a head that rings like a cowbell.
