JEB! may have given what amounts to his first true presidential campaign speech as he honed a tired and phony "family values" line of attack in a paid-commencement speech at Grove City College in Pennsylvania. It was a profane and trivial effort when compared to another, and timeless, speech given long ago in Pennsylvania by the first Republican president. Forgettable lines included:
"...remain true to your convictions and your faith."
"This may seem a little challenging today, where we have a federal government that is willingly violating the religious freedom of its citizens...But we don’t have to accept it."
"If you feel inspired to serve your fellow citizens, don’t let the ugliness of politics keep you from pursuing public office [I won't]," he added. "There is always room for informed, engaged, passionate leaders at every level of government. [too bad I don't offer any of that]."
For some reason, JEB!'s man, Rove, didn't get the message about the ugliness of politics.
