89. Duh to Newt and Rick but Jeb BUSH reALLY!

Sun Feb 19, 2012, 12:35 PM

Feb 2012

Are they crazy enough to believe we will pick a 3rd Bush after the 2nd one cratered our way of life for at least a decade if not more?!

We need a strong opposition party to question the assumptions of what our government is doing. With Obama taking these moderate Republican positions and them talking about contraception/sonograms and other crazily out of touch positions, where is our choice or anyone elses? What happened to representing the democratic wing of the Democratic Party?

If you have crazy and not good (this targeting Americans for detention without trial and assassinations is wigging me out), what sane person would not choose not good? Crazy is talking about women not having access to these cumbersome, new fangled scientific procedures and saying the earth was founded to serve man?

Where has our democracy gone?
