2. Jeb Bush has all the moral certitude that my cat does.

Which is none. Another, marginally more more subtle but politically more connected, Mittens - he will say whatever he needs to in order to get the keys to the United States.

3. The only thing we should concern ourselves with is Jeb WILL be the nominee in 2016

and once he is, NO ONE who votes for a Bush will care whatever he said or didn't say.

No one here should ever even think of voting for Jeb so what we say matters little to the nomination of Jeb.

NOT voting for him and voting 100% for the democratic nominee with NO fracture, NO third party is all we should be concerned with to insure Hillary wins 450 electoral votes including Texas and never again will a Bush be a thread as three strikes and they are out.

1992 strike one
Bush, W repudiation strike two
2016 Jeb loses big time strike three

It takes a Clinton to defeat a Bush

That is the only thing we should concern ourselves with.

as said above, republicans don't care about minutia and wedge issues.
They just want to win.

We need to do WHATEVER it takes to win

and win means seated.
losing means not seated.
getting the seat thrown out from one is NOT winning.

A winner does what a loser won't.

4. Related story about going back and forth as Jeb spoke last week about another No Child Left Behind

similar education program for Texas Children, the first one was in the mid 1990s. It was a failed computer program for students having dyslexia and Related Language Disorders in elementary school.

The information is in the Texas Group, titled, "Profiteers of Education as a Business Fails Our Children", Saturday March 2, 2013, 9:41 AM. It is still up on the Texas main board posted by DhhD. Bush spoke to the Texas Legislature about another private education program he wants to sell (again) to the State. The story is in a review by the Texas Branch of The AFT-American Federation of Teachers. (Texas Public Law forbids teachers to go on strike.)

TX Senator Wendy Davis was removed from the Education Committee by Lt. Governor Dewhurst, after she was reelected to the TX Senate in November. Her office would have much more information about charter and privatization of public school and state funding. The TX Legislature meets every two years, January-May.

Education funding and removal of public funding will be a big campaign issue here in Texas. It will help defeat Republicans.

Jeb's son is considering running for a seat on the Rail Road Commission. It oversees pipe lines and fossil energy leases. The Texas Legislature is considering a bill that no city has a say in gas well drilling in its boundaries. These people can and will be voted out of office if the public can find out about their negative proposals for the health and safety of the public (voters).

To me the Bush family is nothing but destruction.
