SON OF A BUSH

Submitted by Admin on

As this son of a Bush heads towards a possible presidential bid, Jeb is beginning to take fire from those who say his views on immigration, along with his last name, embody a Republican Party establishment that doesn’t truly represent conservatives. Whoever you decide to support... Let Jeb Be Jeb.
