I wrote (not email) a note to Jeb saying I voted and I liked Medicare. Please join me. Pubs are great at flooding politicians with mail and email and calls. We need to counter that. Thanks.

Jeb wouldn't have ever been accepted into Starfleet.





There's no maturity or wisdom in the Republican party.

Far more scary, the Borg.




The scariest of them all is Species 8472, even the Borg feared them.






Jeb wouldn't have lasted a week in Starfleet.

Unfortunately, he might end up being the next president, which would be sufficient proof that god is a Ferengi.

there are people in this country that earn below $1,000,000 per year . He and his brother in crime
would like to see Romney's 47% just die off as soon as possible. The Oligarchs can just import
slaves from over seas to do the menial work that's left in this country . Go to hell Jeb .

be President would make such a stupid pronouncement. Sounds like he's trying to sabotage his own campaign. Then again, there isn't a sane person in the R field, and they all say stupid stuff.

Newt once said to let Medicare wither on the vine. Now Jeb's on the bandwagon. Seniors may not be amused however.

saying, after Mittens lost, that daddy didn't want to run for president.
Surely could be the same for Jebbie.
Further illustration(s) that they are, quite simply, poseurs and frauds who could give
a rat's arse about government.

I always liked sci-fi and quirky shows. I was no Disney princess as a child. I was Lt. Uhura (although I'm not AA). I liked Uhura because she was a woman performing a job in a future where women and men were equals. My friend liked to be nurse Christine Chapel (played by the future Mrs. Roddenberry, Majel Barrett). So, even though the show wasn't on the air that long, it made an impression.

In later years, my favorite Star Trek was Voyager because it had a woman captain. Kate Mulgrew (now "Red" on OITNB) did a great job in portraying Captain Kathryn Janeway.

Bill Clinton chose not to expose crimes, Obama followed the same path.

Jeb should not even be running, but that is what happens when the other party allows them to do so.

Hey Jeb! Show us the hospital bills that your parents have racked up since Poppy left office. Did TAXPAYERS pay them? It amounts to a tidy sum, and they are millionaires who can afford to pay their own bills. Mooching off the taxpaers still, after all these years.
