RALEIGH, N.C. (CBSMiami/AP) — Former Gov. Jeb Bush (click here) said he trusts the legal process that resulted in charges against six Baltimore officers in the death of Freddie Gray.
Bush, a likely presidential candidate, was asked how a president can address rising anger toward police. Bush told reporters that a president can lead a conversation on how to fight the pockets of poverty that can result in dissatisfaction and anger.
Commenting on the Freddie Gray case in Baltimore, Bush said: “The process works” and “people are innocent until proven guilty.”...
Amazing, once a bureaucrat always a bureaucrat. I am surprised Jeb Bush didn't take credit for the charges. Sure he wasn't the very person that decided the charges and simply helped out those unfortunate females in Maryland and in the DOJ?
Jeb Bush Interview (click here) "Everyone needs to respect property." When he was discussing Baltimore events. "People on the left CREATES a set of reasons why this happens.... Okay, I want every Democrat responsible for the death of Freddie Gray to turn themselves in to authorities and don't hold a riot to "Create a set of reasons."
There is a man dead and there is every reason to believe there are many men dead and all he has to say is "The process works." That is amazing. Dead people simply line the streets while 'the process works.' It worked THIS TIME because there were riots in the streets and he has the almighty nerve to state "the process works." Amazing.
This must be Jeb Bush's Katrina. It simply arrived early and thankfully before he is President.
Bush affiliates himself with racists. Is that surprising to anyone? It was his Secretary of State that disenfranchised African Americans in Florida's Dade County.

Charles Murray, (click here) a scholar at the right-wing American Enterprise Institute, is most known for his book The Bell Curve, which argued that intelligence differences among racial groups explaining inequalities in America. It is widely regarded as an attempt to justify racism using pseudo-science.
This week, Murray apparently gained a new fan. At an event with the National Review, Bush explained that his view on the breakup of American families has been informed by the notorious right-wing writer. According to Talking Points Memo:
[National Review editor Rich] Lowry asked Bush, “… is there any policy or anything public officials can do to help turn back what has been a rising tide of family breakdown crossing decades now?”
“Absolutely, there is,” Bush, a likely 2016 Republican presidential candidate, said. “It’s not exactly the core. My views on this were shaped a lot on this by Charles Murray’s book, except I was reading the book and I was waiting for the last chapter with the really cool solutions — didn’t quite get there.”
Later in the interview, Lowry asked Bush what he likes to read. Again, he cited Murray.
I like Charles Murray books to be honest with you, which means I’m a total nerd I guess,” Bush said....
It all falls in with the Republican View of the World. Former US Senator Rick Santorum wrote a book that follows those same old racist stereotypes. It will be at least a generation more or more like two generations before Republicans finally drop the racism they count on to get them elected and policies that keep their donors coming back.
This is an example of the depth the Republicans are operating at to make a decision about a presidential nominee.

In Iowa this weekend, (click here) everyone will be listening closely to what comes out of Jeb Bush’s mouth, but they should also be paying attention to what he puts in it.
"The Paleo Diet" has made it to the Republican National Debate. And what is Former Secretary Clinton bringing to the Dems; "Income Inequality." There is no comparison to the platform of the DNC. There are real problems in the USA and not simply The Paleo Diet and how that relates to wealthy donors and patronizing electorate.
Tell me if hurts and I'll stop. Maybe.

Today, thanks to a Supreme Court (click here) decision that unleashed unlimited money into politics, even the unlikeliest of long-shot presidential candidates needs only one very wealthy patron to run a credible campaign. It’s a system that many campaign finance reform advocates see as messy and bordering on corrupt. But now, Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is taking things to an entirely new level: putting off his official entry into the 2016 race so he can raise vast sums for a super PAC that’s supposed to be entirely independent of his all-but-certain campaign....
He hasn't said the words. That means he isn't running and is outside the parameters of fund raising? Really? Well, that explains it then, of course, Jeb Bush isn't corrupt to the core. He only engineered the election of his brother, but, that wasn't his fault, it was an underling. But, that wasn't corruption. Ask him how he views Voter ID when he is in ?
...By not officially jumping in the race, the former Florida governor doesn’t have to abide by the “hard money” rules of presidential campaigns, which cap primary donations at just $2,700 per individual. He’s raising unlimited funds for his Right to Rise super PAC instead....
I take it Former Governor Jeb Bush isn't discouraging Ohio from limiting the electorate in 2016. The truth is an entire election cycle should have to occur before any limitations on voting takes place. People have to gear up for these changes.

A group of Republican lawmakers in Ohio (click here) will introduce a bill in the Ohio House next week that will require a driver’s license, state ID card, passport, or military ID in order to cast a ballot in person in the state.
“This is a bill which I believe is very important for the state of Ohio for the sanctity of our election system, for the sanctity of making sure that it is one person, one vote and they are in fact residents and citizens of the United States,” said Andrew Brenner (R-Powell), the primary sponsor of the bill, in a press conference this week....
Talk about pandering. Give me a break. Kindly keep it real. The closest any Bush ever got to assault by police is when Georgie pleaded guilty to DUI.
How many mothers does Jeb Bush know? One and maybe the mother to his own children? A mother-in-law perhaps.

The mother in the video from Baltimore wasn't disciplining her son, she was rescuing him from "...being another Freddy Gray...". She was afraid the police would also arrest her son, put him in the van and he would end up dead, too. Barbara Bush had the same problem, huh? Barbara Bush is afraid of cops? Really? Well, her sons have definitely lived through it.

Last month, Bush revealed he follows the Paleo diet -- a strict regimen of eating only what our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate: vegetables, meats, seafood, fruits and nuts.
“Continue to pray that I stick on this Paleo diet where my pants fall down,” Bush told donors in Tallahassee in February. “Perpetually starving to death apparently is the source of losing weight...."The Paleo Diet" has made it to the Republican National Debate. And what is Former Secretary Clinton bringing to the Dems; "Income Inequality." There is no comparison to the platform of the DNC.
