Actually, you redefined your statement when caught in a falsehood. Liberal revisionist tactic.
I am far from Liberal. But true Liberal revisionist tactics are actual Liberal politicians who masquerade as right wing Conservatives. And there's many, many.
How exactly did I redefine my statement? What falsehood was I caught in? Bush showed up to jury duty. And all the national media showed was his photo op with several minorities. What's falsehood and redefining about that?
I happen to agree with you but how many posts have been written with some form of "only stupid people can't get out of jury duty"? And then people wonder why juries sometimes go off the reservation.
I see that all the time, and it's a moronic remark.
I was on a murder trial jury 21 years ago. The people who were on my jury were not stupid. What we WERE were people who would still get paid while on jury duty or who didn't have to show up for work/were retired, so the judge wouldn't excuse them if it was a hardship to their company, only if it was a financial hardship to them personally.
I work in the public sector. On my jury were two post office employees, another person in public transportation like myself, a chemist, a guy who worked for AT&T, a teacher, and a couple of retired people. None of these people were stupid. They took their charge seriously, weighed the evidence, and asked questions. And little Frankie's got nine years more minimum to serve before he can apply for parole.

The actual reason that he showed up, which you do no know and choose to invent one of your own. Redefining his motivation. Simple.
The "large portion" consisted of middle class to upper and white.
But farm kids poor kids and blacks to the jungle you go.
So are you claiming that the "poor farm kids and blacks" are not part of the population? Do you know how many not of this demographic volunteered to serve? Or doe that not fit your narrative?

So redefined my statement has now turned into redefining his motivation? I guess. I'll just move on.
Many celebs do charity work, not for sincerity of heart, but for their public relations image. Cameras, news, the attention etc etc. Bush could have easily gotten out of jury duty. And let's not kid ourselves for one second in thinking that he would have actually been considered to be a juror. He himself knew that. But he showed up anyways. Nice little pr stunt.

You do not know a thing about jury duty.
He didn't bring a camera crew, someone there asked for his picture. Once word got out at the courthouse many people came by for the same.
It doesn't matter if you are likely to get dismissed, you still have to go. If you are a judge, you still have to go to jury duty. If you are running for a political office, you still have to go. If you are a famous athlete you still have to go.
Why not congratulate Bush, like everyone else that takes time out of their busy day, for doing his civic duty and serving as a juror of ones peer instead of trying to find some anterior motive to bash Bush because you are so partisan that you cannot help yourself.
Frankly, Bush is everything I want in an ex president.

Any celeb or politician who shows up anywhere, knows what's going to happen. You really think Bush was just going to stand there amongst the crowd, and nothing happen. Any politician, whether Rep or Dem, I wouldn't "congratulate" or praise them for doing anything as simple as going to jury duty.
