The Christian Conscience of Jeb

1. .@BarackObama this deal paves the way to Iran getting the bomb & gives $150bn to the mullahs. That's not leadership.
   
   ("If Bush's goal is to present himself as his "own man," that list of advisers undermines the point somewhat: 19 of the 21 people on it worked in the administrations of his father or brother.")

("What Bush seems to be proposing is a large-scale version of what he did in Florida, which was to divert money from Planned Parenthood to abstinence-only education programs. He also poured millions of taxpayer dollars into “crisis pregnancy centers” that exist solely to mislead women about abortion, all while implementing disastrous policies for real health care providers.
Bush says that as president he would strip all federal reimbursements from Planned Parenthood, which provides critical health care, from STI screenings to affordable contraception, to millions of women across America. He says he wants to replace the Affordable Care Act with something like the Medicaid program he put in place in Florida, which succeeded so well that a quarter of Florida residents were still uninsured by the time Obamacare kicked in." - Kathleen Turner, HuffPost)

Hebrew Scripture & the New Testament still provide the moral vocabulary we all use in America – may it always be so

There is no more powerful or liberating influence on this earth than the Christian conscience in action.

This is the face of evil. We need a strategy to defeat the barbarians of ISIS & protect Christians in the Middle East 

("Jeb Bush said he would have done the same as his brother in deciding to go to war in Iraq if he had been president at the time.

His comments, in an interview with Fox News set to air on Monday night, come in the wake of Bush's private statement that he relies on his brother, former President George W. Bush, as an adviser on some Middle East affairs.

"I would have [authorized the invasion], and so would have Hillary Clinton, just to remind everybody. And so would almost everybody that was confronted with the intelligence they got," Bush said in the interview."- CNN)

Enough with the slanderous attacks. @SenJohnMcCain and all our veterans - particularly POWs have earned our respect and admiration.

Mooched from the Huffington Post:

"A personal thank you from Jeb Bush for smearing John Kerry's military service:

Colonel Day, I know you'll be joining other Swifties—POWs in Orlando soon. Please let them know that I am personally appreciative of their service to our nation. As someone who truly understand the risk of standing up for something, I simply cannot express in words how much I  value their willingness to stand up against John Kerry. Their efforts, like their service to our country, speak volumes about what matters most.

Who could forget the vicious campaign Republicans waged against John Kerry for his service in Vietnam? Secretary of State John Kerry received not one, not two, but three Purple Hearts, a Silver Star and a Bronze Star during his combat time in Vietnam. Nevertheless, Republicans mocked and belittled his military service throughout the campaign. It was a key feature of the 2004 Republican National Convention, when delegates and supporters wore cutesy purple bandages in an effort to degrade the Purple Hearts Kerry was awarded."


and from the NYTimes:

"When Bush delivered a speech about diversity in South Korea in May 2007, his host was Jin Roy Ryu, a longtime family friend and contributor to his father's presidential library. About four months later, a subsidiary of Ryu's company, Poongsan Corp., was awarded a contract of up to $1.1-billion to supply the U.S. Mint with metal used in coins.

Bush says the Mint contract never came up during the trip and he never even knew about it.

Ryu did not respond to e-mail inquiries about how much, if anything, Bush was paid for his appearance."
