..but is focusing more on the "before or after the layoffs" timing of it. But hey, anything that shines a light on his dubious business practices, is going to hurt. drip, drip, drip.

As Governor, his insane family was always in the news committing crimes

His wife tried to smuggle jewelry past customs. His daughter has a bunch of scary mug shots for her drugging and the son was arrested at least once for stalking an ex and crawling through her bedroom window

Jeb has buckets of stuff he does not want to relive and his wife hates D.C

My favorite was his son having sex in a parking lot, but...

anyway, JEB doesn't like his wife, it is his girlfriend he will worry about.

I've never heard any of this. Could you please fill us in on this or else give us some links? It's been a bad month for me. I could use the distraction.

12. I found a Bush/Koch marriage between Dorthy Bush and Bobby Koch. I wonder if they are related to

Charles Koch?

In 1992, German American Koch married Dorothy Bush, the only living daughter of George H. W. Bush, at a private ceremony held at Camp David—the only couple to ever be married there in the nation's history. They have two children plus the two children from her first marriage.
Koch is a Democrat who started his career in politics working for Tony Coelho and was part of his campaign to become House Majority Whip. He would later become staff director for House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt before joining the Wine Institute.[1] Since becoming President and CEO in June 2003, membership has grown 70% to over 1,000 Californian wineries and affiliated businesses which are predominately family owned and operated.
He has a substantial equity interest in Central European Distribution Corp., the company that manufactures and distributes vodka in Poland.[2]
Koch is active in raising funds to find a cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.[3]

15. Include his voting in MA under a false registration address.

He voted in either 2008 or 2010 listing a basement apartment in IIRC Cambridge, MA, in a home owned by one of his sons. It's a federal felony to falsify one's primary (voting) residence. He is a supreme asswipe; if AG Holder, or whoever has jurisdiction, doesn't prosecute Mitt, it will be evident that this truly IS a fascist country.

What if the powers that be in the GOP know Mitt CANNOT serve the full four years? Can this be a trojan horse to get in the person they REALLY want? Can you say Paul Ryan, boys and girls? Can you say Rand Paul?
