By now, everyone's heard and/or read Jeb's off the cuff comment about the Oregon Community College mass shooting -- the murder of college students and a professor. We who care about actual people actually losing their lives in such a manner are shocked by the apparently dismissive "Look, stuff happens..." comment. In my opinion, we need to get over our shock about the callous statement and instead concentrate on the full text of his comments -- which are, with respect to actual governance, worse.

Before dropping below the orange squiggle for discussion, I'll note that I saw the entire clip yesterday, but couldn't find it today. Instead, everything I found ended at the "stuff happens" comment. I was fortunate to find the text in an article at Gawker about Jeb signing a pool fencing law in Florida. In my opinion, Jeb's full statement shows us why we simply cannot elect Republicans if we want to get anything done.
