15. Nothing at all new, press always gives Bushes complete pass, ALWAYS.

Prescott Bush was indicted for supporting the enemey during a time of war. Why was this never brought up when any of the Bushes are running for office? It would 100% disquality anyone else if their grandpa was a confirmed traitor, but for the Bushes, it never happened. Poppy was a traitor when he personally intevened with Iraq to keep the Americans hostage until after the elections. The meeting he said in testimony before congress never happened, really did happen and has been proven. Crickets! GW starts a war of choice and is implicated in the events of 9/11, yet is not made to testify under oath and no notes were allowed and Cheney was there with him to keep his story straight. 28 pages of the testimony were redadacted, the part about Saudi Arabia. One of the first things Bush did when he stole the presidency the first time was to give an executive order than any Saudi Arabian national was not to be stopped coming into this country, even if they were on the terror list. Hmmmm.

So, OF COURSE, the national media never mention Jebbie's support the Swifties for pure personal reasons - hurt Kery and help his bro. He never mentioned the words truth or accuracy because that's not what he was interested in. He's a true political hack and that's why the media won't cover it. The Bushes are part of the original and ongoing 1%ers so are sacrosanct to msm.

oh my god, Jeb Bush was in on the '05 attacks on Kerry and even wrote thank you letters. Sunlei Jul 2015 #1
