The Enormous Differences Between Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton

Jeb Bush: Neocon Warmongering Crook

http://mx2.politicususa.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Jeb-Bush-frown.jpg

The International Business Times reports that Jeb Bush Funneled $1.7 BILLION of pension cash to W's donors - some who are now Jeb donors.

The former Secretary of Health and Human Services says that Jeb lobbied on behalf of an infamous Medicare swindler.

Bush is also a hardcore neocon, and member of the influential warmonger group Project for a New American Century. He's for mass surveillance by the NSA. He supported the Iraq War, and has tapped key architects of his brother's failed Iraq War as his advisors.

Mother Jones notes:

Financial support flowed to Jeb through Miami's right-wing Cuban community. Republican party politics and a series of business scandals -- including Medicaid fraud and shady S&L deals -- were inextricably intertwined. A former federal prosecutor told MJ that, when he looked into Jeb's lucrative business dealings with a now-fugitive Cuban, he considered two possibilities -- Jeb was either crooked or stupid.

Mother Jones also notes that Jeb supported the Contras, and may have been involved in the Lincoln S&L scandal.

Alternet reports:

Five months after he left the governor’s mansion in 2007, he joined Lehman Brothers as a “consultant.” No doubt he was well-compensated, as reporters may learn if and when he releases his tax returns someday. The following year, Lehman infamously went bust — and left the state of Florida holding about $1 billion worth of bad mortgage investments. (A Bush spokeswoman said, “His role as a consultant to Lehman Brothers was in no way related to any Florida investments.”)

 

***

 

He performed a similar service, with more success, on behalf of the Cuban militant Orlando Bosch, for whom he sought a presidential pardon from his father. The boastful murderer of dozens of innocent people — and a prosecution target of the U.S. Justice Department — Bosch deserved a pardon about as much as the worst jihadi in Gitmo. But his sponsors were the same Cuban-Americans in Miami who had fostered Jeb’s real estate business there, so he ignored the Republican attorney general’s denunciation of Bosch as an “unreformed terrorist.”

And Jeb "helped" his brother become president. Noted social historian and author Michael Parenti explains:

Under orders from Governor Jeb Bush (Bush Jr.’s brother), state troopers near polling sites delayed people for hours while searching their cars. Some precincts required two photo IDs which many citizens do not have. The requirement under Florida law was only one photo ID. Passed just before the election, this law itself posed a special difficulty for low-income or elderly voters who did not have drivers licenses or other photo IDs. Uncounted ballot boxes went missing or were found in unexplained places or were never collected from certain African-American precincts.

Hillary Clinton: Neolib Warmongering Crook

http://onecitizenspeaking.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451d3b569e201a5116d0899970c-pi

Hillary Clinton is corrupt, as well.  The IBTimes notes:

Despite lambasting Colombia for its human-rights record in 2008, her foreign-policy stance on the country became noticably more favorable in 2011 after a large contribution to the Clinton Foundation by the Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp., an oil and gas company active in Colombia and based in Toronto.

 

Recently, the Clinton Foundation accepted a donation from a Moroccan government-owned company, despite the Clinton-run State Department’s 2011 criticism of that government, Politico reported.

 

Where all that money winds up is also a subject of criticism. For one thing, there have been allegations of waste. Ira Magaziner, who runs multiple efforts at the foundation, spent thousands of dollars to send a team around the world for months to build up a climate-change proposal, but it fell flat, as the New York Times reported.

Indeed:

No family has tapped so much money from companies, wealthy individuals and foreign countries as the Clintons.

Clinton also illegally used private email - despite warnings from Congress - in order to escape discovery of her communications as Secretary of State.

And she spearheaded the arming of Al Qaeda to overthrow Libya's leader ... and made false claims about what was happening in Libya.

Clinton also admits that she was responsible for the lack of security which got U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens killed.

So both Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton are corrupt. Indeed, all you need to know about how corrupt they are is that Wall Street would be happy with either Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush … but is desperate to stop other candidates.

The mainstream Republican and Democratic parties both oppose core American desires.  Only candidates who are “safe” in the eyes of the oligarchs are promoted or allowed to run, and discussion is limited to “safe” topics.

Appointing the children, spouses or siblings of the old sell-outs insures that we'll get the same 'ole same 'ole. Hillary and Jeb are just corrupt successors to corrupt aristocratic dynasties. See this and this.

The Founding Fathers tried to warn us ...

I am sure President Obama is happy with all the Hillary Bush bashing since it shifts attention from his administration's disastrous wars in Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

GW, 2 observations:

1. You are obviously an anti-war zealot, this theme dominates your posts.

2. You have a lot to learn about the human animal and especially about the human animals outside your USA neighborhood. I STRONGLY recommend you go and actually try to live in sme key areas of the world:

Latin America, esp Mexico, Venzuela, Argentina

Middle East, especially Iraq, Iran, Saudia Arabia, Yemen

Africa: any of the northern coutries and especially Nigeria

and of course Russia - go there and try to operate your "expose the government's atrocities" web site

I recommend this with goodwill, because based upon our previous exchanges, I believe that you have good intentions, but you have cultural myopia.

Why do you insist that someone go live somewhere else?  Your knee-jerk "other countries are far worse than the glorious USA" is an inanity inspired by Cass Sunstein.  For you to ignore that the wealthy and powerful USA continuously carries out violence and instigates turmoil around the world (not to mention that the USA actively supports, funds and arms some of the worst offenders of human rights around the world) indicates that maybe it's you that needs to go live in Washington DC for a while. 

Time to go fund some Neo-Nazis in Ukraine or arm some Wahabi-Sharias in SA or jail and torture some whistle-blowers.

You are a naive adolescent, clearly do not understand the nature of humans around the world. USA has been inconsistent in foreign policy, but there are plenty of nasty humans around the world who need population control, and the military must get routine exercise to stay effective. Big concepts far beyond your simple-minded adolescent level of understanding.

Looks like almost universal violent agreement with your premise, ZH.  Which raises the issue that if we know they don't work for us (as evidenced by the absolute failure of either party to address substantive issues), then who do they work for? Maybe the universal requirement for candidates from either party to get a "note from the teacher" in Tel Aviv in order to be considered a "viable candidate" is a clue.

The saying "If voting made any difference... " comes to my mind. Rand Paul would likely be the best candidate. He knows the critical issues well enough, and maybe too well... Even he could probably not turn things around to avoid the coming crash which may happen before or around the time of election. I will be focusing my attention to his campaign only, all others are just a continuation of the failed status quo.

Dat vertelde vicepremier Lodewijk Asscher wel tegen leden van netwerk @0ranjePapegaaY, maar blijkbaar niet tegen de journalisten van de volkskrant. Zij schrijven namelijk dat de coalitiepartijen VVD en PvdA het nog steeds niet eens zijn geworden over de kwestie 'bed, bad en brood' voor uitgeprocedeerde asielzoekers. Deze kwestie is immers al lang opgelost, maar het wachten is op de VN totdat zij gaan inzetten op een @basisinkomen voor iedere wereldburger. In eerste instantie te betalen door een accijns op grondstoffen.

 

Ruiten9: "Investeerders in de VS zeggen: ‘Wat het internet doet met democratie en media, doet het Bitcoin-concept met het psychosegeloof in de bankensector'. Dat kan natuurlijk wel waar zijn, maar het zijn de politici die de contracten tussen de bankensector en de bedrijven niet heeft getoetst met het GELD=ZUURSTOF-paradigma."

Jeb Bush and the Florida Dept of Justice took a pass on teen girl pimp Epstein, he was governor at the time, FL also took a pass on criminally prosecuting any of the prolific sub-prime loan fraud or mass illegal immigration.

It doesn't get any lower than politicians that get rapists off (Hillary) http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/06/16/listen-to-hillary-clinton-lau... or politicians  that let pimp-donors of teen girls off (Jeb) http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/jeffrey-epstein-made-sick-propo...

Reagan had early onset dementia during his terms of office and everyone knows it. Hill n' Bill likely have early onset dementia as well, but the democratic party knows they are mere meat puppets that follow teleprompters like George W. Bush. Since Hollywood ran with Bedtime for Bonzo Reagan the CIA has learned that it's all in the directorship as in Wag the Dog. Hill n' Bill are veterans at Wag the Dog theatrics and they know the routine well. This is why the CIA will insist on a Bush or Clinton gubberment, but NOT a Paul gubberment. Rand Paul would NOT play Wag the Dog with the American people whereas the Bush Klan and the Clinton clan would.

Primary Colors is a 1998 drama film based on the novel Primary Colors: A Novel of Politics, a roman à clef about Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign in 1992, which originally had been published anonymously, but in 1996 was revealed to have been written by journalist Joe Klein, who had been covering Clinton's campaign for Newsweek.[4][5][6] It was directed by Mike Nichols and starred John Travolta, Emma Thompson, Billy Bob Thornton, Kathy Bates, Maura Tierney, Larry Hagman, and Adrian Lester.

or assistance of any kind. vote for me, write it in.
if i am elected i will end the money system by declaring
it a matter of national security to end the fed and
will issue treasury notes to facilitate barter among
interested parties, otherwise, the states are on their own.
.
the mic is already mostly privatized, as is the health care
complex so they should be able to survive without the
constant and continued u.s. treasury contributions.

That is one monumental absurdity. Here we are a nation of some 330M, at least half of whom are not illegal immigrants, and we can't field any presidential candidates who aren't besotted by socialism or indifferent to the evisceration of the Constitution. There's a faint whisper of a horse race in Iowa but thereafter the most spiritless, clueless boob or lickspittle is coronated and it's away we go to circle the drain some more.

Clinton and Bush are the biggest threat to the American 'Empire' [of dirt-see Johnny Cash] that presently exists. Both camps will leverage their wealth off of the backs of American taxpayers that actually pay taxes whereas if you are a Bush or a Clinton you do not pay taxes whatsoever after investment writeoffs and capital gains on rentier incomes. In brief, they don't make income that gets taxed and they make their money off of capital gains and rent. [see Michael Hudson]

Bringing Down a Tyrant
http://www.hermes-press.com/completing2.htm

The Current Threat to American Freedom

     At present, Americans are faced with an illegal junta which is repeating this vile era in American history: the seizure of all governmental powers by a single cabal. They are following in exact detail the monopolization of power practiced by the Federalist-Adams dictatorship.

     Having illegally seized the presidency--with the criminal assistance of Jeb Bush and the U.S. Supreme Court in 2000 and stealing all subsequent elections, the capitalist cabal is crippling local, state, and federal governments by spending only for militarism (domestic and foreign), creating a huge federal debt that later generations will have to repay, stealing trillions of taxpayer money for bailouts of criminal banksters, and creating tax cuts and subsidies for the rich. Criminal, self-serving corruption runs rampant throughout both Democrat and Republican administrations. The horrible tyranny that is being created by the cabal junta is a threat to the entire world. For the first time in its history, Western Civilization as a whole is in danger of being destroyed.

For all the "law & order" types out there:

"There should be penalties for breaking the law. But, the way I look at this, and this is not, you know — I’m going to say this and it will be on tape, and so be it. The way I look at this is someone who comes to our country because they couldn't come legally, they come to our country because their family's dad who loves their children was worried that their children didn't have food on the table, and they wanted to make sure their family was intact. And they crossed the border because they had no other means to work to be able to provide for their family."

Starting to get the picture? Jobs jobs jobs!

"Yes, they broke the law, but it's not a felony. (Edit: Until the second offense) It’s kind of -- it's a, it’s an act of love. It's an act of commitment to your family. (Edit: Not an act of abiding by the "law") I honestly think that that is a different kind of crime that should be, there should be a price paid, but it shouldn't be -- it shouldn't rile people up that people are actually coming to this country to provide for their families. And the idea that we're not going to fix this but with with comprehensive reform (Edit: Run for your fucking lives & hide your silverware & children WHENEVER the words "comprehansive reform" are used) ends up trapping these people, when they could make a great contribution for their own their families but also for us." - Jeb Bush

You see?

Breaking "the law" is really just an act of love. Isn't that nice?

This is the asshole who will appoint a federal AG (that would be an Eric Holder-type relying on the whims & fancies of his boss, if you live under a rock or in a bunker) if Jeb were to be elected.

Again, choose wisely ;-)

An addendum, does anyone know why Cantor lost his primary instead of just ushering in another Wall Street pickpocket because he/she is "their color"?

That was a "big fucking deal man!" and where did he end up? We recognized what he really was and did something about it.

You, my "progressive" brothers & sisters know or have found out about yours too, so when I tell you to take "your laws" and shove them up your collective asses you'll now know exactly where I'm coming from.

Democracy died a long time ago, its not viable. A Republic was the best alternative of me living with you, now its dead.
