In reply to the discussion: Pic Of The Moment: Jeb Bush Says Congress Needs To "Show In An Adult-Like Way That We Can Govern" [View all]DemandsRedPill
(65 posts)19. they already are
According to Merriam Webster............. to govern
: to officially control and lead (a group of people) : to make decisions about laws, taxes, social programs, etc., for (a country, state, etc.)
: to control the way that (something) is done
: to control or guide the actions of (someone or something)
By their lack of action they are achieving exactly what they were all bought and paid for to do
So what exactly is this junior member of the Bush Crime Family referring too when suggesting they govern or lead?
Best to follow the money trail
You know his motives have to lead there in some way

I don't know if the "adult-like" part or the "govern, lead" part is more problematic

Boy! So Jeb Bush is admitting it: the Republican Party is pre-school when it comes to governing.

I'm sure "adult like" means surrendering unconditionally to the Koch machine

The Republicans are only going to get in the White House with a visitor's pass for decades.

It's about time a Republican admitted it's the party of whiners and spoiled brats.

"Adult-like?" As opposed to "adult?" Because Republicans in Congress are under 18?
