Freudian slip? Ah, the Bushes. Always trying to be “real folks” and failing miserably.

My goodness…the lengths some politicians will go to pander. Even risking voter fraud.

Wasn’t 2009 before the GOP Nutjobs threw their hissy-fit about securing the borders, and soon after unleashed the Kraken on all Latinos nationwide? I believe it was before they decided they didn’t need their vote anymore. Only all white Christians welcome in the fold now. Its kinda a litmus test thingy…you know, how much you can hate immigrants, especially those from south of the border. One could say, debasing Latinos in general has become one of their favorite national pastimes.

Elizabeth Warren is more Cherokee than Jebbie is an Hispanic of any stripe. He’s so white he damned nearly glows in the dark.

Ah…never misunderestimate them…the Bushie’s never fail to disappoint:

“There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas,
probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on
you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”
-George W. Bush

Fool you once, shame on me. Fool me … oh, never mind. I’ll ask my brother how it goes.

Romney produced the uncanny valley effect. On not quite sure what to call the creepy effect that Jeb Bush produces.

Watch…next he’ll try to pretend to be concerned about income inequality and the middle class and poor.

What?? He already has?:

I don’t think he fooled anyone with that either.

And just who were you trying to fool Jeb?

11

His daughter’s probation officer? “She comes from a disenfranchised minority background…”

12

Not a noun, but an adjective … ‘Eldritch?’

13

As far as I’m concerned, this is a non-story. I routinely check different ethnicities when filling out most forms that ask for it. Why is ethnicity even on a voter registration form? What does it have to do with voting?

Think it has something to do with gynecologists being able to practice their love on women. Or was it the one about the fish? I forget.

15

Disenfranchised? What? Is Jeb complaining destitution now?

16

Give me a break. What could he possibly have to gain from this? Unless he’s out on the campaign trail telling people that he is Hispanic, this is a non-story. Even if it wasn’t a mistake, there is no way to prove it.

He checked the wrong box people. Moving on.

17

…and a lot of Have and Have Mores want Jebba the Butt leading the US…

18

It may have been a mistake, but this won’t go down well with the tea-partiers. He already has suspect positions on immigration from their viewpoint and this’ll just provide fuel for the fire.

19

There is no way this was an accident. It was a deliberate act. Jeb Bush is a honorary Hispanic, right in time for the presidential election! SMH.

Were you trying to fool people?
