How very “unquestionable Loyalty over Principle” of them, sounds like a bunch of Natural born tyrants.

But in the fall of 1973, Bush was vying with several other Republicans for the unfinished term of Spiro Agnew, who resigned ostensibly over taking bribes from a contractor while still VP, but who in fact was blackmailed by Nixon White House chief of staff, Alexander Haig, who threatened to expose Agnew's mistress, who was on the vice presidential staff in 1973.
So Agnew wasn't taking bribes?

The Old man was a spook in the CIA in the 60’s who knows what sorta weird [power trip ideas he got from that job, not to mention all the pre-WW-II weirdness that HW’s old man was involved in.

Over the years, the Bush family and key aides have cold-shouldered critics, taking them off of Christmas cards list, shutting them out of Bush political inner circles, cutting them off from RNC contracts, and more. To insiders, there is no greater sentence than to be cast in the Bush's "phantom zone" as it was known, as a nonperson.

The bad behavior of H.W. and W. in this campaign have done a great deal to tarnish the family image. Look at the old
business now brought up to refresh memories.
They would have been better off if they would have acted as they do when Obama does some weirdness—nothing!!

Too bad he was a flake. I hope your reputation is never utterly destroyed by ruthless powerful politicians.

I hope your reputation is never utterly destroyed by ruthless powerful politicians. Perot took a powder the minute it became obvious Bush was a goner.
Had nothing to do with his reputation, or lack of it.
He had his mission, and he performed it.

I saw through the Bushes in 1988 when GHWB said he had “evolved” and no longer believed Reagan’s economic plans was “voo doo economics”. There was some powerful people who forced Reagan to take him as veep.
In 2000 I voted for GWB just because I couldn’t stand Gore. That’s the only time I ever voted for a Bush. And I regret that. W is a fraud.
To: Buckeye Battle Cry
Yep. They hated Perot and he hated them back.
To: COBOL2Java
Amen, brother! Perot went from being one of the most respected businessmen in America to a “flake” and it was all thanks to the Bushes.

Is that something rare in politics?
I'm pretty sure Nixon must have done it -- maybe most politicians do.
Jack Germond was always going on about how mean Barbara Bush was.
Like he didn't play hardball himself.
And at least somebody in the family had some cojones.

Too bad he was a flake.Hardly, Steely Tom. He was the only candidate who cared about the economy for the American people, and consistently tried to explain trade issues to us, specifically NAFTA. Now that we are sold out on trade deals to Mexico and many other countries and overrun with globalists on the one extreme and illegal immigrants on the other, all those issues have worsened to the point that another outsider is finally making political hay with them. I hope Trump can bring it to the finish line this time; because when Clinton was elected, it was the beginning of the end for this economy.

He wasn’t just a flake, he was a coward. When Pee-rot found himself at first place in the polls, he quit (before jumping back in to stay in 3rd). He didn’t want to win, he just wanted to assure a Republican wouldn’t... twice in a row.
