Same Old Bush: Jeb! All But Promises To Bring Back Torture If Elected President

http://www.politicususa.com/2015/08/13/bush-jeb-promises-bring-torture-elected-president.html

In a speech that sounded like it could have been delivered by his brother, Jeb Bush revised the history of the Iraq war in order to blame Obama, and left the door wide open to bringing back torture if he wins the White House....

Jeb Bush is his “own man,” but if he is elected to serve as the nation’s next president GITMO will stay open, torture will be back on the table, and troops will be returning to Iraq. The Jeb Bush campaign is sounding a lot like the failed presidency of his brother, George W. Bush.

With one speech, Jeb Bush revealed what makes him unelectable. Democrats and Independents definitely don’t want a return of the Bush years, and a sizable number of Republicans aren’t thrilled with the idea either. There is a reason Bush has fallen back to the middle of the Republican pack.

A vote for Jeb is a vote for W, which is why voters have so far rejected Jeb Bush’s call to rise up and restore his brother’s failed policies.
