Although he deceived me before he became a presidential candidate, I now know that Jeb Bush is not only unqualified to lead our nation, he lacks the intellectual ability to do so. I cannot count the mental errors, (at least I hope they were honest mistakes), that he has made in his speeches. But that’s actually a minor problem. He has openly admitted that he would be a carbon copy of his despotic brother. He would take the same actions to rush our nation into war, and the same fiscal policy which bankrupted our nation and began the growth of income inequality. In other words, he would lead with lies, deception and by protecting Wall Street.

Some writers have already begun to collect “Jeb Bushisms.” Hundreds were available during his brother’s administration, but the numbers are smaller at the moment for Jeb.

Like his brother, he talks about nuclear weapons as ‘nucular.’ When he was attempting to speak to the working class, he referred to our nation’s low-income and poor people who struggle daily to feed their families. But he didn’t get it quite right. He said: I understand its hard “to put food on your family.” Talking about lifting all restrictions on the oil and gas companies, he said: “As we grow our presence by growing our ability to produce oil and gas,” Bush went on, “we also make it possible to lessen the dependency that Russia now has on top of Europe.” Attempting to talk about problems in the Middle East: “I don’t have a solution. I mean, I—I—I’ve read articles, you know, about whether the 1915 kind of breakout of the Middle East and how that no longer is a viable deal.”

It appears that George and Jeb are actually twins who were born a few years apart.

Appearing on CNN in 2010, Jeb said of Dubya, “I have never disagreed with him…till death do us part.” Speaking about Iraq three years later, he claimed, “The war has wound down now and it’s still way too early to judge what successes it had in providing some degree of stability in the region “During incredibly challenging times, he kept us safe,” he said in praise of Dubya at the 2012 Republican convention.

Is he unaware of history, in denial, or just another Bush? I think the last is most accurate.
