And corporate interests vote Republican so they don't have to pay their share of taxes and get corporate benefits so they become richer and richer (past the point of what they could even spend).

JEB looks good in hats, they really suit him, he has the confidence to wear them, which speaks to his confidence overall, this guy is severely underated, no I may not like everything he says, watch out people, trump will be out in the next month or so and carly is really not a true conservative, and carson is an athiest, (even tho he is a creationist), so that really leaves Jeb, so we have Jeb and Clinton when the dust settles.

This guy is such a fat-faced, tone-deaf putz. His wife tried to avoid paying tax on luxury goods from Paris -- what nerve he has. Also tells women to get their lives together and find a husband when his own (single) daughter has been arrested not only for drugs, but for stealing drugs. Really, really hoping Dogfood! Bush will be frog-marched off the public stage like his churlish pal Mitt Romney.

Jeb!
The Rethugs are between a rock and a hard place. To bring in their base to vote in the primaries they have to talk like insane right wing morons. To win the general they have to talk like reasonable, centrist politicians. They didn't used to have to swing so far one way and then the other but now they do and it's killing them. Whoever they nominate, he has no shot at the White House.

Anyone who values science over religion needs to examine all the facts. The official story is demonstrably physically impossible, therefore it is untrue.

Beware of politicians who promise to protect your hopes and dreams rather than promising to improve your material well-being.

You can bet he plans to give his friends on Wall Street and his masters in Tel Aviv lots of free stuff.

If I stipulate your assertion, will you and your ilk agree that greedy Republicans like "free stuff" just as much that costs MUCH MORE -- like tax breaks, tax loopholes, lax offshoring regulations, and corporate welfare?

So who's really going to be the nominee? Not this jackass. Marco Rubio? It's not going to be Bobby Jindal. Trump? God knows they're doing everything they can to discredit him, and it doesn't seem to be working. If he said, "I love Hitler," his fanboys would vote for him even more. There's nothing he could possibly say that would turn them off. But how many are they?

The grandfather of President George Walker Bush (Skull & Bones, 1968) was Prescott Bush (Skull & Bones, 1917), and his great grand father was George Herbert Walker. Prescott Bush and George Herbert (Bert) Walker were directors of the London-affiliated New York banking house of Brown Brothers-Harriman and its various fronts, which funded and directed the military-industrial complex behind Hitler and the Nazi revolution.

Unless they all crash and burn, a distinct possibility, at which point Mittens or McCain comes in (as he's dying to do) and "saves" the day. They will also lose in a landslide to Hillary Clinton.

Yes, R49, his kids are dysfunctional fuck ups and there are several unfortunate issues with his wife. The Rethuglicans will be able to stomach the fucked up kids (sort of) but the fucked up wife is going to take him down in a hurry.
Even without the disastrous wife and kids, if Jeb!'s the nominee the Clintons will bury him and not break a sweat. That's actually true of all the potential Rethuglican nominees.
Good times.

Jeb! Just repeats mantras at every public appearance. He 's hopelessly in over his head and just looks void of any energy on every level.
Trump - while (ahem) not the perfect candidate is engaged, shows enthusiasm, vision. I hate his foolish female remarks, but this silliness is precisely the trait that people ironically associate with authenticity.
Clinton looks defeated already and I would PAY to watch a debate between Trump and Clinton. Clinton has a few achilles heels - and having been sequestered in a political bubble or ivory tower most of her life - won't know what hit her when Trump's done with her. He'll wipe that silly smile off her face in round 1 and by round 2 - he'll just stick a fork in her because she'll done as a dinner.

Someone replied on a Huffpo story about this that the only people that ever got anything free in America were rich white slaveowners. They got free labor to build America (and their own fortunes) for about 300 years. The freed slaves didn't even get their promised 40 acres and a mule as compensation.
I wish someone said that to Jeb! I'd like to hear his pissy, disgruntled answer.
