What does Bush 43 think of Sarah Palin? Not much, say friends

Insiders say President George W. Bush thinks Sarah Palin is not qualified to be the president, according to a NY Daily News report.

The paper says Bush also criticized Sen. John McCain for putting her the 2008 Republican ticket.

It doesn't identify any of the Bush friends and sources by name and it quotes one unnamed Republican official who says that McCain's Palin decision made "Bush think less of McCain as a man."

This isn't true. It's based on anonymous sources and it's as transparent a leftist ploy as it could possibly be.

And it has already been posted and dismissed.

Get with the program. I know you must be despondent at the Republican victories this week, rabs but you'll get over it some day....

Maybe it’s PR to get us to buy his book.

“Before trashing Bush why not make sure the story is actualy true”

I agree. I think this is the msm getting ready for 2012. They know GWB will not comment so they are taking liberties.

So, are the pubs really ganging up on Palin, or is the media trying to imply that the pubs are ganging up on Palin? This is about the 4th or 5th story about some republican or another speaking out against her.

Maybe the RINOs are ticked off because their boys, Crist, Castle, and others, didn’t win their elections. If so, it’s time to find the RINOs and purge them. (Actually, I think that the purging process has already begun.

You’re not over the target if you’re not taking flak...

[Cicero]

If Bush is refraining from criticizing Barack Hussein Obama, then it doesn’t seem likely that he’d be going around criticizing Sarah Palin.

Bush on Oprah to be aired next Tuesday:

OPRAH: So your brother Jeb was recently asked by CNN if he would support Sarah Palin for president. Did you hear that? In 2012.
PRES. BUSH: Yeah.
OPRAH: And he responded, “You betcha.” Do you think that Sarah Palin is the one for the Republican party in 2012?
PRES. BUSH: You know, I am not a political pundit. I’m really not. And secondly, a lot is gonna happen between now and the nominating process. I — I have no clue.
OPRAH: I’m not asking you to pundit.
PRES. BUSH: Yeah, you are.
OPRAH: I’m just asking you your opinion.
PRES. BUSH: You’re asking me to wade back into the swamp.
OPRAH: Come on in. Come on in.

I've heard people who know GW Bush personally say that he thinks she's the best thing to happen to the country since Ronald Reagan.

I have as much evidence for my claim as the author of this article.

[ohioWfan]

Before trashing Bush why not make sure the story is actualy true. I know that some Freepers believe everything published, but let’s wait and and see, mkay?

Why bother with the truth when we can exercise our mindless BDS and get to say nasty things about President Bush?

Truth never interferes with Bush haters' venting. It's not about thought. It's about FEEELINGS, whoa-oh-oh FEEEELINGS! ;*)

[ohioWfan]

I'm pretty sure that there are a handful of freepers who would love for us to hang separately.

The poster of this thread is one of them who sows dissension for the fun of it.

Shrubbury may think that Palin is not qualified to be president, but he went out and proved that when it came to his own reign of error now, didn't he. Amnesty, putting the chinese and UAE in charge of American port security, and Bailout version 1.0 are all things he championed. It's the ideology, stupid. You can always hire enough MBAs to do the work.

It's not bull[crap] unless it sticks....

The hope is to create a Bushbot vs. Palinista flamewar. All it will lead to is Bushbot vs. Paultard.

About all that can be said on the subject is in the above thread.

From what I've seen the "Paultards" pretty much hate everybody, including both Palin people and Bush people (and those of us who are both).

They are the masters of creating dissension, which is why they jump on and agree with the leftists who are trying do the same thing. They're the hapless foils for the leftist ploys.

[RipSawyer]

I watched that, the whole thing is nothing more than a media attempt to put words in the mouth of George W. Bush and he didn’t fall for it. Watch for the whole thing to be repeated as truth before long. They start out with “unnamed sources” and then the phony “story” gets a life of its own and people forget that there is no real basis for it.

[Randy Larsen]

Correction...

Who cares what Bush 43’s friends think that bush43 thinks!!!

[meyer]

Come to think of it, I was all ticked off at the RINOs this morning. Still am. But, I don't think that this is as much a RINO vs Conservative issue as it is the media trying to "divide and conquer" the republican party.

Tread carefully in these stories - they keep citing unnamed sources, while pointing the finger at established Republicans. If they can't directly quote their source, then it's probably BS.

I call them Frumites.

Useful idiots for the left.
