Jeb as George W. Bush Times Two

On issue after issue, he's just like his brother, just more so. His record on a woman's right to choose is worse than his brother;s.

He's also to the Right of his brother on Medicare-his brother did add a prescriptioin benefit while he seek to 'phase out' Medicare.

“The left needs to join the conversation, but they haven’t. I mean, when [Rep. Paul Ryan] came up with, one of his proposals as it relates to Medicare, the first thing I saw was a TV ad of a guy that looked just like Paul Ryan … that was pushing an elderly person off the cliff in a wheelchair. That’s their response.

“And I think we need to be vigilant about this and persuade people that our, when your volunteers go door to door, and they talk to people, people understand this. They know, and I think a lot of people recognize that we need to make sure we fulfill the commitment to people that have already received the benefits, that are receiving the benefits. But that we need to figure out a way to phase out this program for others and move to a new system that allows them to have something – because they’re not going to have anything.”

I mean to speak of phasing out Medicare. In the past GOPers have just spoken of fixing Medicare. 

Then there is his tax proposal which does just what his brother's did-only more so. Even deeper tax cuts for the rich, and an even bigger resulting budget deficit that no doubt, the nonrich will be asked to fix through rollbacks in the safety net or higher consumption taxes just like Sam Brownback did in Kansas.

Not so incidentally, Brownback has now effectively defunded his entire state's judiciary.. Who says that Creationists don't know how to run a government?

On foreign policy he's proven to be just like his brother with almost all the same advisers-first and foremost Paul Wolfowitz himself.

Remember when we thought that Jeb was the smart brother, the one who should have been elected?
