Jeb Bush Throws His Brother Under The Bus At McCain Town Hall

During a Florida town hall event with John McCain, Jeb Bush appeared to throw his brother George under the bus. Bush gave a rousing talk about throwing the bums out of Washington. Perhaps he forgot that his brother is the chief bum? Read more here. See the excerpt below:

"Reform becomes contagious," former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, brother of the current president, said at a McCain town hall meeting this week in Orlando. "If you start to dream bigger dreams and you start challenging the basic assumptions, you can change how things work, and we've done it in Florida, and the Good Lord knows we need to do it in Washington, D.C., and John McCain is the right guy at the right time to make that happen."

YES ,, I agree that W makes it very unlikely that Jeb will be pres,,,,, No amount of spin will make anothe BUSH pres ,,at least for several decades but then there's JEB'S son George P. Bush......I think amny voters are seeing that the old party faithful would have rather nom again BUSH if they could have over MAC... I wish they would have!!! KEEP THE NEW AND IMPROVED 'O' -MENTUM GOING!!!! GET OUT THE VOTE IN EVERY PRECINCT NATIOWIDE --IT'S CLOSE IN MIDWEST WHERE IT SHOULD NOT BE!!!

Why not just dig up the progeny of Herbert Hoover and run them next time.

"If you start to dream bigger dreams and you start challenging the basic assumptions, you can change how things work, and we've done it in Florida".

I am sure he is talking about the voting system, which he certainly did change how it worked. Too bad your brother f**cked up the family dynasty, huh?

I'm glad to finally see the BUSH name relegated to status of dollar store toilet paper.
Hey, maybe I start a biz.... Just think rolls of toilet paper with the "Bush" with each tissue cut colored in appropriate brown, i.e. cow manure!

timbonotes: I like the idea of GW Bush's face on toliet paper

Where in the Hell is Bush! An economy in crisis! and Bush is nowhere to be found.

He's waiting for Daddy's buddies to bail him out.......­..........­..........­..........­..........­......AGAI­N. Too bad, it's just him, and not the rest of the country.

When I first saw the title to this article it made my heart go all a twitter. Then I realized the writer meant it figuratively. Now I'm back to my morose self fantasizing about Jeb throwing his brother under a bus.

Too funny -- I'm seeing W lying in the road with tire tracks from the Straight Talk Express running over him!

I think the Bush's own the CIA too. They might have a bid in on the Navy, but I hear one of the Saudi Princes has dibs. The Army is still available and I have a feeling GAZPROM is a favorite.

Maybe Jeb will run against Obama in 2012 as the "agent of change"...
What a maroon...what an ignoramus...

[bridge to somewhere]

Hmm, looks like that cartoon Lil' Bush was not too far off the mark. What a fool. Perhaps in 2012 Jeb will rise to the occasion to "change Washington" again...if it's the "lord's will" that is!

Blaaahaaah­aahaahaaa!

Go to youtube and do a search for "thinkverybig" and watch all of those videos. The one called "We Must Change" would be fitting to recite at Obama's Inauguration.

Here's a community organizer that's reached out to over 20,000 youth and has a goal of touching a million by teaching them the game of life using the game of chess. Click below to watch video.

ENOUGH!! I get that this person is enthusiastic, but this is getting past ridiculous. This is the most blatent egomaniacal self promotion of an individual I have ever seen. Your posts are becoming abusive. Posting the same links, over and over and over. It is great to believe in oneself. But to push it on everybody else is not.

Way to go JEB: You got it right this time: You are 100% correct. Time to clean up Washington:

[Palemoon]

Hey Jeb Bush, what about your job at Lehman Brothers? And all those tainted stocks/bonds you sold the Florida retirement funds from your position at Lehman Brothers??

[edwarvir]

Jeb tell the truth boy because THE TRUTH WILL SET US FREE!

[HeIsTheOne]

What Jeb read from:

"If you start to dream bigger dreams and you start challenging the basic assumptions, you can change how things work, and we've done it in Florida, and the Good Lord knows we need to do it in Washington, D.C., and _____________ (insert name here) is the right guy at the right time to make that happen."

O!

[jeffp26]

This kind of irony, combined with Obama's win this november, almost makes the bs we had to suffer under Bush worth it.

Not quite, but it helps.

I like how you think Jeff! I've just added you to my faves..:)

Fired up and READY TO GO.
