    This isn't surprising. Many of these neo-cons are widely respected in Academia and policy. Of course he would use experts with credibility.

    Please make note of the fact that tom ridge was the very first head of DHS. Before that, while he was Governor of PA, he was heavily involved in the biometrics industry, and stacked the state DOT with his biometric buddies. In both roles, he was instrumental in the push for real id. PA was one of the first states that bend over backwards to implement it was quickly as possible, thanks to tom ridge.

    I think we have a few potential candidates who are surrounding themselves with Bush foreign policy advisors. Right?

    Why is this a surprise? Jeb was a signer of PNAC...the neocon/neo fascist manifesto.

    Romney currently leads the list with eight. Rubio has five. Jeb has four. Hillary has three. Ryan has three.

    His foreign policy speech is typical neocon fare. Not any surprise.

    Good news is he's a horrible speaker. Like really bad.

    "Liberty diplomacy" is a funny new Bush euphemism for bombing the $#@! out of other countries.

They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book

    Oligarch Rules – Jeb Bush Surrounds Himself with the Architects of His Brother’s Iraq War
    http://www.theburningplatform.com/20...hers-iraq-war/

    It may be hard to believe, but either one of the two status quo choices for U.S. President currently being force-fed down the American public’s throat will be almost unquestionably more imperial and warlike than Barack Obama. The reason is simple. Any society that apathetically stands by as one President after the other tramples on the Constitution will be subject to a litany of increasingly tyrannical, and even insane, leaders. This is why the oligarchy isn’t even pretending that we live in a Republic or a Democracy anymore. They are shoving our pathetic servitude right in our face by putting up these two preposterous and dangerous candidates.

    If you still had any doubt, today we learn that Jeb Bush is actively surrounding himself with the exact same people who under the George W. Bush administration, masterminded the terrible tragedy known as the Iraq war.
    [...]
    Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) will deliver a speech on Wednesday that seeks to distance his foreign policy views from the previous two Bush presidents, saying, according to early excerpts, that while he admires his presidential family members, “I am my own man.”

    “[M]y views are shaped by my own thinking and own experiences,” Bush will say as he lays out a vision that calls for increased military spending in order to project strength and encourage peace worldwide.

    “Having a military that is equal to any threat is not only essential for the commander in chief … it also makes it less likely that we will need to put our men and women in uniform in harm’s way,” he will say. “Because I believe, fundamentally, that weakness invites war … and strength encourages peace.”
    Yes, like all the peace the U.S. has unleashed upon the world since 9/11. Such as the creation of ISIS from the smoldering crater your brother left in Iraq.
    [...]
    In 2003, for instance, Jeb Bush explained to Florida reporters that “in his heart, I know [George W. Bush] is doing what he thinks is right, and I concur with him.” Ten years later, he told an NBC reporter that “history will be kind to my brother [on Iraq] the further out you get from this and the more people compare his tenure to what’s going on now.” And in a joint CNN interview with George in 2010, Jeb said, “I have never disagreed with [George W. Bush]… ‘til death do us part.”
    History is being written as we speak, and we can now see that the war in Iraq led directly to the creation of ISIS. Kind indeed.
    Based on the idea of natural rights, government secures those rights to the individual by strictly negative intervention, making justice costless and easy of access; and beyond that it does not go. The State, on the other hand, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.
    --Albert J. Nock

    Does anyone actually support Jeb Bush??

    If one more Bush or Clinton gets elected, I'm going to completely lose faith in the American people.....that is, if the elections aren't rigged.
