Jeb Bush: I Would Govern Like Lyndon Johnson as President
Jeb himself sums up why he must never be president.
[Breitbart] According to the Miami Herald, Bush made those comments Wednesday night in San Antonio, Florida at Saint Leo University, while speaking about education, immigration, and energy policy.

Bush did not address Johnson's Great Society and War on Poverty programs, about which Ronald Reagan once famously quipped, "We had a war on poverty, and poverty won."

#2  FUC**NG Lyndon Banes Johnson - created the racist welfare state from hell that made this a piece of shit to start with.

I called Jeb a tampon on social media, This is proof.

He needs to give up

#4  You are completely finished asshole.

Please go away. You are no better then a wanna be totalitarian.

#5  "We had a war on poverty, and poverty won."

We had a war on drugs, and drugs are winning. And will win in the end.

We had a war on alcohol, and alcohol won.

I guess if you go to war against human nature, human nature will always win. Stupid politicians. Short-term gains, long-term pain. Enjoy.

#6  I can almost see and hear the Democratic campaign adds and media exploitation of this statement. And some talk of Trump destroying the party ?

#8  LBJ created he welfare state. Nixon made it racist in order to not be called a racist.

#9  We had a war on alcohol, and alcohol won.

Yes, killing more on your highways due to DUI than all the wars since the repeal. That doesn't count all the additional casualties due to "hold my beer while I do this". Just understand, you didn't win anything. You just shifted the costs to society from one accounting column to another. It's like the war on the unborn. No one wants to think about the consequences of their 'rights'. It's never clean. It's always a trade off. Live and die with it.

As to Jeb's statement. The Socialist never compromise. It's their way and nothing else. You'll only work with them by surrendering which is what liberal Donks did in the old party, so that is why Jeb and the boys moved over to the Trunk party and took it over. (Big tent my a$$. You don't invite HIV in your body.)

#10  Yes, he probably would.

#11  Maybe Hill will choose him for VP?

#12  The Great Society Redux, what an idiotic statement, and one that will haunt him for the rest of the campaign.

#13  With all the talk of Hillary! imploding, I wonder if ¡Jeb! is positioning himself for the Dem nomination?
Posted by: charger || 08/02/2015 13:07 Comments || Top||

#14  I have a good friend who was literally kicked in tha ass by LBJ when LBJ was governour. He was doing some wiring under LBJ's desk when LBJ came in and told him to "Get out". He said give him just a minute and he'd be done. He said LBJ kicked him hard enough to cause his head to hit the desk and leave a bump. Just after the kick LBJ said, "I said get out!". Sounds like a real nice guy.

#15  The best Dem candidate would be Jeb bush, Mitch McConnell or John Boehner as they could continue with Obama's current policies.

#16  TRUMP!

Lyndon Johnson was probably the greatest American arm-twister of a politician since Adams. Wouldn't want that. Hell no, let's get behind Trump! Or Cruz! Hell with it, the circular firing sqauad had already formed. I'll stand with JOE!
Posted by: Shipman || 08/02/2015 14:05 Comments || Top||

#17  Hell screw it, JOE! is too weak, let's go total crazy if we're gonna loose, let's loose big! Let's go with Paul!

I am shorting Mutual of Gaza, the foot injuries are going to bleed the company of cash.,

#18  The epitome of the RINO.

Bush, Boehner, McConnell, Pelosi, Reid, Clinton, Obama...America is on an extremely dangerous course.

#19  Bush said that? That is scary.

"We had a war on poverty, and poverty won."

The politicians of the Beltway Party won all of these wars--it was a means to erode freedom and to rake off taxpayer money.

#20  Wasn't he supposed to be the brightest Bush?

#21  That's what his mother said....
