President George H.W. Bush Thinks Tea Party is “Alright”; But “Confused by It” – Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | November 21, 2010 | Brian

Posted on 11/21/2010 5:21:16 AM PST by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of former President George H.W. Bush being asked by Larry King what he thinks of the “Tea Party.” Bush 41 said he wasn’t sure what to think about it:

“Well, I don’t know what it really is, Larry. Some of the ideas make a lot of sense. . . . I’m confused by it, frankly, but I think it’s alright.”

Still a bit confused about that “vision” thing. Good and decent man, though.

Well as an octo, he’s probably “confused” by a lot of things.

How can he be “confused” by it? It is average Americans who work, pay taxes, raise families, mow their grass, AND WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE by the government. Perhaps he could have been a two-term President if he had spent more time listening to us instead of the CFR.

GHW Bush always saw himself as more sophisticated and nuanced than Ronald Reagan. Even now, he has no idea how small he appears in comparison.

Barbara probably slapped him on the back of the head later and told him what a dumb answer that was...”honestly, George!!”

A LOT of this “confuse” the Bushes - ALL of them.

We can thank them and McCain for the Marxist Muslim bastard in the White House.

Bush 41 please don't go down the Jimmy Carter trail as you age.

There is only one Jimmy Carter and that is one too many

Tea party to GHWB “Read my lips...no new taxes”

Guess he was confused about that back when too.

Of course as a BBCC Republican, he was "confused" by American Economic Freedom (AKA Capitalism)

It was referenced as "Trickle Down Economics" by Reagan and "Voodoo economics" by GHWB.

Tea parties are splinters and all over the board. It's an attempt to form little blocks just as the Dems have done over the years...Groups like NOW, AARP...etc etc

I don't understand them either because I'm not part of one so I'm with Bush...

I'm not happy with some of the folks on FR right now. This Bush bashing by FR folks is disturbing.

Hey, Jorge! It is simple. See below. Don’t forget to take notes:
1. Keep government within strict Constitutional boundaries.

2. When in doubt, go for the more restrictive construction/interpretation of the Constitution.

3. Remember your one good insight - “If you support a terrorist, you are a terrorist”.

4. Islam is NOT a “Religion of Peace”. That is true no matter how many billions the Saudi’s invested through your family and ‘Yer Buds’.

No need to be confused, it means we don’t want any of his RINO progeny (and the pro abortion Bush wives) to run the country anymore we can’t afford it. The Bush’s need to go away at this point.
