Let's be real - if Bush was black he'd be a hero on this board.
i don't care what anyone thinks tbh. i've said it before and i'll say it again i'm a HUGE fan of the Bushes especially George W. he was a an awesome govenor of our state ..the state thrived under him. and while i didn't agree with all his policies(or the wars) while he was in office he was the FIRST president to put two black people in two of the highest positions that can be held in an adminstration. (Condie and Colin). something the democrats (who claim to have our backs ) had YEARS to do but NEVER DID. if liking him makes me a c00n ..i'll gladly be that.
even though the stats prove that an african american is way more likely to recieve it then a white counterpart? how do you justify no child left behind? by saying that people should be able to afford private school?
whoa: i stated that i didn't agree with many of his policies...privatizing social security for instance...no child left behind etc. that's actually one of the things i hated MOST about the previous admin. all the cuts to education and the arts they implemented. they decemated the the public school system. also i never said i was voting for jeb bush ...i said i'd "consider" it. i'd obviously need to hear his policies first ...which i haven't. i keep and open mind about him because i like the Bushes and he's open minded enough to have married interracially(his wife is mexican) which also reflects my union so i relate to that. BUT it's a not "certain" that i'd vote for him. we'll see.
