Jeb Bush: 'The Supreme Court should've allowed states to decide.' Oh, the irony of BUSH v GORE!!

[seafan]

“Guided by my faith, I believe in traditional marriage. I believe the Supreme Court should have allowed the states to make this decision. I also believe that we should love our neighbor and respect others, including those making lifetime commitments. In a country as diverse as ours, good people who have opposing views should be able to live side by side. It is now crucial that as a country we protect religious freedom and the right of conscience and also not discriminate.”

Note that he won't answer the direct issue of the ruling--- just proclaims an opinion that *must be followed* to avoid a dismissive wave of his hand.


We will NEVER forget your role plundering the lost decade of your brother's illegitimate and catastrophic access to power in 2000, micromanaged from your leather studded chair in the Florida Governor's office and your five black-robed pals sitting on the Supreme Court.

Just go away. And take your election-stealing tactics and personal religious beliefs out of our lives.

[House of Roberts]

1. If the US Constitution means anything,

it means your rights don't change when you cross a state line into another state.

[hobbit709]

2. Republicans are incapable of recognizing irony even if it bites them repeatedly in the ass.

[FiveGoodMen]

3. And just like every right-winger, he's making that bratty little pout.

They ALL do that.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

4. "Lost decade." Exactly.

The better part of 2000 - 2010 was a blur of anger and loathing and it took a big toll on my general health. That fucking family owes me a decade of my life.

5. It is called irony deficiency anemia.

It is a common affliction with religious right kooks.

[TrollBuster9090]

18. Irony Deficiency Anemia!

THANKS for that one!

[hifiguy]

6. Seriously? That kind of irony is so thick

you need to lay it on with a trowel. Whadda maroon.

[pokerfan]

7. We’re supposed to vote on who has civil rights?

[JonLP24]

8. They don't care about the irony so don't believe they have the failure to recognize it

It is remarkable they have turned opposing equal rights for all Americans into "religious freedom". Cunning sociopaths -- I don't even think they care about personal religious beliefs -- using something to exploit to their advantage.

9. You belong in prison. You illegally purged voters for your idiot brother.

Shut the fuck up

[edhopper]

10. Republicans only believe

in the 2nd Amendment, the rest are optional.

[Smarmie Doofus]

11. Those are the words of of ONE CONFUSED DUDE.

They're huddling furiously right now in Jebokistan.

As they are huddling contemporaneously in Clintonville.


Ummm.... when, exactly, did Sanders go ON THE RECORD in favor of marriage equality?


I have a feeeling it was before TODAY.

[AndreaCG]

13. Bullshit

Don't try to put Jeb and Hillary in the same place on this issue, you Naderite redux.

[NBachers]

15. Please refer to Andrea CG's post above.

[Sancho]

12. What a liar and a thief!!!!!!!

Jeb and Harris purged the rolls!

The election supervisors harassed the voters!

Ballots were rigged!

DRE's were hacked!

The recount was sabotaged!

This is an EVIL man. I was there!

I saw a DRE switch votes and I was escorted out of the polling station when I protested. Gore won!

Jeb is the ! Don't ever forget it. Not a crook, not a person with different values - a flat out liar and a thief!

I will vote for the Democrat. I will work for the Democrat.

[NBachers]

14. The more I read from this guy, the dimmer his bulb glows. Jeb is the Smart One™?

[FiveGoodMen]

16. I'm guessing that Barbara's the smart one

Kicked out of Hell for her low moral standards, but smarter than her husband or kids.

[Octafish]

17. I don't know.

When does SCROTUS vote?
