Why Jeb should not be POTUS.

Because he did nothing about the Burmese pythons. He chose to ignore them, sweep them all up under the rug.
Just like Reagan and the AIDS crisis.

Now the Burmese pythons are pretty much out of control. As the Earth grows warmer, they will migrate northward, so don’t feel complacent that they are just Florida’s problem.



(Almost posted this in Lounge.)

If anyone out there knows of anything Jeb did to stop the plethora of predatory pythons, please post.

1. I can't think of any good reason why he *should* be POTUS.

Pythons are just one of many reasons why he shouldn't.

This country was dumb enough to give his idiot brother a second term. I truly hope people have learned their lesson, and will relegate the Bush Family to the dustbin of history.

Sorry but George W ruined it. The man was an absolute disaster from day one and only got to hold office because of that shitty supreme court decision. Never again.

to why we don't want him...he made the whole state a ghetto. We didn't take the warning with little brother (well, I did, but anyway...he failed at everything he did and Texas was in poor shape, yet he got elected).

Ignore it and it'll go away.

When it becomes a problem and someone else tries to solve it...

Tell them to ignore it and it'll go away.

When that solution works...

Focus on the small problems that solution created.

Rinse. Repeat.
