way I would ever vote for or not work against a man who prosecuted and harassed another man who's wife was brain dead. It went on for years. It proves that if Jeb believes in something, no matter what the courts say, no matter what the evidence, no matter what period, he will go after what he believes in. I think we already went through that with a president that lied us into two wars and ordered torture. He would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Any Democrat with a brain in their heads will work like crazy to stop another Bush.
