Jeb Bush


Debbie just keeps "doin it."

Sunshine State News: U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla. The DNC chairwoman keeps trashing former Gov.Jeb Bush, saying he is wrong for America. Wasserman-Schultz is a strong voice for liberals but people are tired of negative politics.

Speaking at FIU, she started off with the “blaming Bush” syndrome and blamed George W. Bush for all of the nation’s woes. “I expect as time goes by Americans are going to have an opportunity to see the results of Jeb's policies as they were in Florida,” Wasserman Schultz said. Maybe not -- since Jeb’s record far outpaces Wasserman Schultz’s, says Sunshine State News.

Some of the things that Jeb Bush enacted while Governor of Florida:

He cut taxes by 19 billion dollars.
Overhauled the medicaid system in an attempt to rein in health care costs...Obamacare before there was Obamacare.
He created the first school voucher program. An advocate of school choice and charter Schools.
Ended Affirmative Action with One Florida. Affirmative action is a diversity that discriminates by ignoring hard work and performance.
Worked with Feds to preserve the Everglades and dedicated over 1 million acres of land for conservation.
Florida had the highest bond rating ever. Reserves went from $1.3 billion to $9.8 billion.
One of Florida staunchest opponents of offshore drilling. He did not oppose it in other areas of the country and said in 2013 that federal lands and water should be open for drilling in a "thoughtful way."
He won total control over judicial nominations
Reinstated the feeding tube for Terri Schiavo. This was a case that dragged on from 1990 until 2005 when a judge ordered the feeding tub removed. I remember how I felt then, and to this day I can't get myself to sign a Living Will.
He approved a "Choose Life" license plate recognizing the importance of life in the womb.
Tough on criminals. Backed a mandatory sentence for criminals using guns. Gov. Jeb Bush signed into law a series of bills bringing back the three strikes law that was struck down by a Florida appeals court earlier in 2002.
In 2005, he signed the "Stand your Ground" law by protecting people's rights to protect themselves.
