Former President George H.W. Bush To Formally Endorse Romney
The Yeshiva World News ^ | March 28, 2012

Former President George H. W. Bush will formally endorse Mitt Romney on Thursday in Houston, Texas.

The endorsement comes a week after the former president’s son, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) endorsed Romney. Former first lady Barbara Bush has also endorsed Romney.

In December of 2011 the elder President Bush indicated support for Romney, saying that “Romney is the best choice for us.”

The endorsements by most members of the Bush family suggest mainstream Republican heavyweights want the Republican primary to effectively end and for the party to rally around Romney.

In his endorsement, Gov. Bush urged the party to “unite” around Romney.

“Primary elections have been held in 34 states, and now is the time for Republicans to unite behind Gov. Romney and take our message of fiscal conservatism and job creation to all voters this fall,” the Florida governor said in his endorsement.

So the Elitists don't care what the people think!

Stop the vote once the "Bushes" decide what is good for us.

This is exactly what RINO supreme George HW Bush was supposed to do. A side note on HW Bush, he was 100 pro-abortion before Reagan picked him as his running mate. Reagan’s handlers told Bush he would have to become
“pro-life” to run with Reagan. So became selective pro-abortion, believing in murdering babies in cases of rape, incest and the non-existant “life of the mother”. This was also his son’s stance, and most other RINOs that pass themselves off as pro-lifers. And all the Bush women are pro-abortion, and pro-homo “marriage”, including old lady
Barbara Bush.

Screw the Bushes, everyone of them. They are the embodiment of RINO.

Reagan’s first gut reaction about GWHB was correct and he should not have elevated him to VP.

“The only surprise here is that he isn’t waiting a little longer.”

George HW Bush, not far behind Carter, Obama and Clinton in being one of the most sorry-assed presidents we’ve ever had.

Not that I care, but I thought he already did months ago.

"I just want you to know I'm endorsing mittens"

The RINO establishment must have alzheimers.

We have to go for Romney; the dimwitted Republican primary voters say we must.

You are absolutely right about the Bushes, but our little Republican primary voters idolize them for some bizarre reasons.

Who do you think pushed Reagan toward the GHWB selection? Maybe it was Dole and Kemp, who knows?

Of course, a one-term loser endorses the guy who couldn't beat John McCain in a primary, who in his turn lost to 0.

This is literally a "less than zero" figure with a couple of exponents.

I voted for mccain and regret it. I’m proud I didn’t vote for George Herbert Walker “Read My Lips” Bush.

Oh, look! Papa Bush (father to Dubya and Bill Clinton) is endorsing Romney! What a surprise! He let Jeb go first and now he too asks everyone to rally around the Trojan Horse candidate named Mitt. I wonder if this endorsement schedule was discussed in their recent White House tête-à-tête with Barack?
