#5 "We had a war on poverty, and poverty won."

We had a war on drugs, and drugs are winning. And will win in the end.

We had a war on alcohol, and alcohol won.

I guess if you go to war against human nature, human nature will always win. Stupid politicians. Short-term gains, long-term pain. Enjoy.

#6 I can almost see and hear the Democratic campaign adds and media exploitation of this statement. And some talk of Trump destroying the party ?

#8 LBJ created he welfare state. Nixon made it racist in order to not be called a racist.

#9 We had a war on alcohol, and alcohol won.

Yes, killing more on your highways due to DUI than all the wars since the repeal. That doesn't count all the additional casualties due to "hold my beer while I do this". Just understand, you didn't win anything. You just shifted the costs to society from one accounting column to another. It's like the war on the unborn. No one wants to think about the consequences of their 'rights'. It's never clean. It's always a trade off. Live and die with it.

As to Jeb's statement. The Socialist never compromise. It's their way and nothing else. You'll only work with them by surrendering which is what liberal Donks did in the old party, so that is why Jeb and the boys moved over to the Trunk party and took it over. (Big tent my a$$. You don't invite HIV in your body.)

#12 The Great Society Redux, what an idiotic statement, and one that will haunt him for the rest of the campaign.

#13 With all the talk of Hillary! imploding, I wonder if ¡Jeb! is positioning himself for the Dem nomination?

#14 I have a good friend who was literally kicked in tha ass by LBJ when LBJ was governour. He was doing some wiring under LBJ's desk when LBJ came in and told him to "Get out". He said give him just a minute and he'd be done. He said LBJ kicked him hard enough to cause his head to hit the desk and leave a bump. Just after the kick LBJ said, "I said get out!". Sounds like a real nice guy.

#15 The best Dem candidate would be Jeb bush, Mitch McConnell or John Boehner as they could continue with Obama's current policies.

#16 TRUMP!

Lyndon Johnson was probably the greatest American arm-twister of a politician since Adams. Wouldn't want that. Hell no, let's get behind Trump! Or Cruz! Hell with it, the circular firing sqauad had already formed. I'll stand with JOE!

#17 Hell screw it, JOE! is too weak, let's go total crazy if we're gonna loose, let's loose big! Let's go with Paul!

#18 The epitome of the RINO.

Bush, Boehner, McConnell, Pelosi, Reid, Clinton, Obama...America is on an extremely dangerous course.

#19 Bush said that? That is scary.

"We had a war on poverty, and poverty won."

The politicians of the Beltway Party won all of these wars--it was a means to erode freedom and to rake off taxpayer money.
