Elder Bush Tells Paper Romney Is ‘Best Choice’
The New York Times ^ | 2011-12-22 | Michael D. Shear & Katharine Q. Seelye

Former president George H. W. Bush offered an informal endorsement of Mitt Romney in remarks published Thursday, saying that Mr. Romney “is the best choice for us.”

The former president told reporters for The Houston Chronicle that he supported Mr. Romney because of his “stability, experience, principles. He’s a fine person,” Mr. Bush, 87, said. “I just think he’s mature and reasonable – not a bomb-thrower.”

The paper reported the comments, made this week, on its Web site Thursday afternoon. A spokesman for Mr. Bush confirmed the accuracy of the comments and said they fully reflect the views of the former president.

Talk about that ol' "thousand words" thing! {^)

Romney is bad news for the GOP and for the Republic. He needs to be kept away from political office.

Iowans, no matter what you think of Newt, why not tell GHW Bush what you think of him and his RINO friends by being more determined to vote FOR Newt now.

Whatever respect one had for Bush, should be gone now because this nastiness.

From the article I read George H. W. Bush still holds a grudge against Newt for not backing him when he raised taxes. He should have followed Newts advice and maybe he would have had two terms as President instead of one.

Best way you can diss GHW Bush is to vote for Rick Santorum.

When you are over the target, the flak is heavy.

Queers HATE Rick. Muzslimes HATE Rick. \

Stupid Queers, they hammer Rick because he dared to point a finger at them and told them they were wrong.

Stupid Queers, when the Muzslimes come for them, the only man that will stand between them and damnation is RICK SANTORUM!

Rick may not like queers, he may point fingers at them and waggle that finger: but he will NOT let the muzslimes do to the queers what they do them in the middle east.

You can take that to the bank.

Tehran’s song:

Hey Queer, Hey Queer, you don’t have to be Queer no more, just reveal yourself to us and you won’t be queer no more!!

“Allah loves you, allah loves you, and you won’t have to be queer no more!!!”

The only man who stands between you and damnation, is Rick Santorum himself.

But I know you and that asswipe Savage are too stupid to know that.
