Jeb Bush can't raise his kids to not be felons but wants to be in charge of the entire country?

[NYcarbineer]

The party that runs on 'family values' and claims that moral high ground as a political strategy doesn't get to take 'family' off the table when it gets politically uncomfortable.

This is not a direct attack on Jeb Bush's politics. This is an attack on his family members, meant to indirectly smear Jeb Bush. Gingrich has been repeatedly divorced and had affairs. That's a fair-game issue to attack his "family values" quality. If Jeb had been abusive against his children, that would be fair-game to attack his "family values" merits. Smear attempts by drudging up decade+ old one-off instances of 18+ offspring engaging in common indiscretions of college age youth is not fair game.

So you're requesting Democrats unilaterally disarm - because you know that the rightwing propaganda machine won't ever hesitate to go after Democrats' relatives of any sort for political purposes...

I am renouncing this kind of bullshit, without regard to whether D or R is doing it. My expectations for decency remain equal, without regard to political party.

 

[blackhawk]

And yet the corruption of Bill and Hillary Clinton is not an issue for the left. What does the left always say that's personal and does not impact how they do their job. Quick addition wasn't Joe Bidens youngest son booted from the Navy for testing positive for cocaine?

Florida Gov. Jeb Bush s son arrested - US news - Crime courts NBC News

"Noelle Bush, the governor’s daughter, was arrested in January 2002 and accused of trying to pass a fraudulent prescription at a pharmacy to obtain the anti-anxiety drug Xanax. She completed a drug rehabilitation program in August 2003 and a judge dismissed the drug charges against her."

"The youngest son of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was arrested early Friday and charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest, law enforcement officials said.

John Ellis Bush, 21, was arrested by agents of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission at 2:30 a.m. on a corner of Austin’s Sixth Street bar district, said commission spokesman Roger Wade."


Good thing his son wasn't black. Didn't they shoot and kill a black kid for this very thing not too long ago?

You know, as a parent, I have had the experiance of a child of mine doing something that I would never have even considered. As I have stated before, I do not plan to vote for Jeb Bush because of his choice of advisors, but this kind of attack is unwarranted and unjust.

Yep- I agree completely.

Pretty much the only ones attempting to attack politicians by going through there children or parents are complete assholes.

And that applies whether the politician is a Republican or a Democrat.

Now if you want to smear Bush or Clinton or whoever for their own actions- go for it.

No- as a Democrat, I want to point out asshole behavior whether its by a Democrat or a Republican.

Attacking Obama for his policies- and even lying about his eligibiilty- fair game.
Attacking Bush for his policies- and even lying about his cocaine use- fair game.
Attacking Palin for her policies, or her behavior or her hair or what she says- fair game

Attacking them because of the actions of their kids- or their parents is just being an asshole.

I was wondering how long it would be before the Left went after Bush's family.

I have my answer.

Right, and that's only 27 years after rush started attacking Amy Carter back in 1988. Since then, each and every Democratic president's child has been insulted and degraded by the right.

Every time liberals make that claim, you can't name the people doing it

If they were, the Kennedy's wouldn't show their faces in public again.

"The youngest son of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was arrested early Friday and charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest, law enforcement officials said.

John Ellis Bush, 21, was arrested by agents of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission at 2:30 a.m. on a corner of Austin’s Sixth Street bar district, said commission spokesman Roger Wade."


Good thing his son wasn't black. Didn't they shoot and kill a black kid for this very thing not too long ago?

2005 article. Sheesh

Since then; they all have college degrees and one is a lawyer one is a real estate agent and one is an office manager. They all have jobs in the private sector.

Of course they do. Daddy's money got them out of trouble and set them up quite nicely. I wonder where they would be if they didn't have all that cash and political connections backing them up. Probably in the same shape as all the others who were arrested for the same things. Their outcome probably wasn't as good.

My point is they don't have to work. They have plenty of money but finished college and have jobs.

They could just as easily traveled and partied forever but they didn't.

Felons?

Daughter commited a federal felony trying to use a phoney Rx.

Son did something others get shot for.

Noelle is the only felon. Drunk in public is not a felony.

You said felons. Plural.

 

[g5000]

Be fair. They are half Mexican. Blood will tell.

Based on their uncle's early years, I'd say it is the Bush blood which is the problem.

Jebby was also arrested for sex in public. He was naked in a car with a girl.

At least he didnt run the car off a bridge, let her die, and then lie about it, like Ted Kennedy.

Is Ted Kennedy running for the presidency?

Or, is Ted Kennedy still alive?

For about forty years he was! Just saying...

That was kinda my point.

But not now......right?

Kind of hard to when he's DEAD!

Dude, not for nothing but Chelsea Clinton's little gig with MSNBC and her paid position at the Clinton Foundation isn't something she "earned"...she got it because she's Slick Willie's and Hillary's kid.

True, but what does that have to do with Jeb bailing out his jailbird kids?

Felons is a term for those CONVICTED, idiot.

Besides if you want to condemn her & Jeb for her problem I'm sure you've got no perspective on what really matters. And I'm not a Jeb fan

This suddenly becomes a standard for you, does it? Does your overt hypocrisy not bother you at all?

Why don't you be a little more specific about what you are saying? What is hypocritical about pointing out jeb covered for his arrested kids?

 

[ShootSpeeders]

Both jeb and his wife Columba are unconvicted felons. In 1999 she was caught smuggling $19,000 worth of jewelry into America so there's her felony. Jebby pulled some strings and got charges dropped and that's felony obstruction of justice.

 

[Lilah]

Clearly this shows a problem with the parents and their upbringing / culture

Rev. Billy Graham's two sons, Ned and Franklin, were cokeheads, adulterers, liars, and cheats. Are you going to step over the line and throw stones at him?

What a whackjob.. seriously, it is a requirement that you be mentally ill in order to be a modern day lib?

It's ironic that a book-burning wacktivist like you would oppose health care reform because it would get you the Prozac you so desperately need.
