Hey, Doofus! It’s illegal.

Also, Jebya chronically replies to questions with “I don’t know.” Great confidence builder, guy!

It’s morally wrong. It’s constitutionally prohibited. It’s inarguably ineffective according to the majority of research on the subject. This is not open for debate.

Just can’t wait for the Jeb Bush/Liz Cheney ticket —

Along with all other real Christians, I am horrified that this man won’t commit to torturing our enemies and suspected enemies. It worked perfectly well when his brother was president. His shameful refusal to laud his brother’s good work is anti-family.

Of course he does. It would be news if he said anything else.

Bush blames the rise of the Islamic State group on what he said was Obama’s failure to negotiate an agreement to leave U.S. troops there in 2011.

And everyone else with a brain knows that your brother handpicked Iranian puppet Al-Maliki, as Iraq’s Prime Minister. Your brother and Iranian puppet Al-Maliki agreed to a troop pullout long before Obama was in the picture. Al-Maliki’s and Bush’s refusal to incorporate the Sunnis into any type of role in the government was to blame for most of the the post Saddam fighting. That is still the reason there is instability today. Al-Maliki refused to grant our troops immunity from Iraqi arrest and prosecution, Obama did the right thing by pulling them out as a result. The post Iraqi war’ occupation was so badly mismanaged by the Bush administration that you should go hide when Iraq is mentioned.

Only if your brother and Dick Cheney are the first in line.

GWB’s third term in office. I don’t think the country can survive another term from a Bush.

To be fair, ¡Jeb! doesn’t know a whole lot about many things.

If any of these Republican candidates for president were elected, I would say that there would exist “Use of Torture By The Government”

The MSM verbal contortionists (at remarkable efficiency in fooling the American people enough so that Dubya was RE-ELECTED) simply would have to re-sharpen their spin-meister tools.

“I don’t want to make a definitive, blanket kind of statement,”

Yes, much better to make an indefinitive, precise kind of statement.

In nearly every interview Jebya demonstrates he can’t separate himself from his brother’s policies. On Iraq, torture, women, income inequality…the list goes on.

Even though torture is illegal, he’s a Bush first and foremost.

The other kind of “torture” is listening to Jeb!'s lies, bullshit, contorted logic and mangled sentences. The Palin is strong in this one.

Of course he does…

JEB! = WII!

George W part deux.

This guy can’t want to win this election. First he says women don’t serve health care and now he wants to torture prisoners. Feels like I am going backward in time

Jeb! is making Al Gore look like the greatest campaigner ever. And Gore had to be tapped with a mallet from time to time to make sure that he had a pulse.

I think Bush is scared to death of winning so he is doing everything he can to sabotage his own campaign. He’s fine with the private fundraising part and the meeting with rich donors, but the part where you have to answer questions and stand for something…not so much.
