Jeb Bush: I 'Misspoke' On Women's Health Spending Comments

By Tierney Sneed Published August 4, 2015, 6:22 PM EDT

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) quickly walked back earlier comments that he was "not sure we need half a billion dollars for women's health issues."

His presidential campaign posted online a statement Tuesday evening saying Bush "misspoke" with the remarks:

With regards to women’s health funding broadly, I misspoke, as there are countless community health centers, rural clinics, and other women’s health organizations that need to be fully funded. They provide critical services to all, but particularly low-income women who don’t have the access they need.

They're the mirror image of Democrats in the 1980s. In 1987 and much of early 1988, Jesse Jackson was the Dem front runner, just as Donald Trump, also an extremist and clown, is the GOP front runner today. Both had no GE shot. They keep nominating "severe conservatives" as Democrats used to nominate guys like Dukakis. Someone even compared Jebya to Dukakis. And I say keep going!

GHWB was an enthusiastic supporter before he wasn't. Then again, he was a Goldwaterite (who lost) and magically became a moderate by the next election cycle, so if you can get past the politically advantageous flexibility of the bushes to find an actual principle you're a better tea leaf reader than I.

Tue Aug 4, 2015, 06:53 PM

Every time one of these assholes gets caught in a lie, or says something utterly mind blowingly monumentally stupid, the excuse is they "misspoke".

No, shitstick, you didn't "misspoke", you said something that you thought would ingratiate you with the dumbass demographic of republican primary voters, and it blew up in your face.

How does somebody "misspeak" anyway? Do demons take control of their tongue and make them lie?

Its a euphemism employed by the press so they won't have to tell the truth about politicians.

You "misspeak" when you refer to "Joe" when you meant to say "John", or when you use the wrong word. You don't "misspeak" an entire damned thought, you are only saying what you really think, and I use that term loosely in regard to any Bush.

Just another lying sick piece of BFEE crap. As Al Franken said, Lies and the Lying Liars who tell them.

After all, he doesn't need things like Pap smears, why should women?

Honestly, that's how these blinkered, pig ignorant right wing bozos think. If they don't need it, nobody does.

When you are talking to the leaders of other countries you can't "mis-speak". You get just one chance to get to right. I think you are in over your head. Go back to Florida.

a transv. probe up their butts.
