How is it that, after stating his intention to run for President of the United States in 2016, serving as governor of Florida, and possibly becoming the third member of his family to serve as president in 30 years, no one knows the real name of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush?

Are there really Americans, after 12 years (VP/Pres) of pappy Bush (east coast “upperist” crust, CIA director, son of Nazi collaborator senator), then 8 of Chimpy (phony born-again christian and 4-word Spanish speaker) and periodic revelations of the shady-to-frank criminal activities of shrubby siblings, who are STILL hoodwinked by the Bush Crime Family?
I’d prefer Bush III voters would do so specifically seeking for 4-8 years of applied external flagellation than to do so thinking they have another great guy to have a beer with …. now if he’d only share his quality cocaine …. ???
Don’t forget the other three, fawning, GOP-dominated branches of government: The Legislature, the Supreme Court, and The Media. At least Daddy Bush had a dem congress and pre-Roberts Supreme Court to hold him back (a little)
But B3 would be in the same situation as his big brother: complete domination of duh gubbmint. If the people of this country are stupid enough to step in that one again, then they deserve the government they get.
However, the rest of us don’t deserve it in the least.
I certainly won’t forget but, as in the point of the comment, I know how slimy, treacherous and dangerous is Jebbie the Hutt.©
We got “blessed” with Dubya-the-Dumber specifically because of unaccountable electronic (Diebold-esque) voting machines. IT’S THE VOTE-COUNTERS, DUMBASS.

You don’t know – or at least fail to mention – the worst of it, Ted : John Ellis graduated magna cum laude from the University of Texas with a BA in LATIN !!…
