As much as I loathe Clinton, GHWBush deserved to lose. He was the anti-Reagan. And no runoff would have turned his 37% share of the vote into a 50% +1 share.
When is that woman Lindsay Graham’s primary?
Amen. I'll never forget the feeling of my entire blood supply turning cold as ice when I heard the post Gulf War #1 New World Order speech. I couldn't believe it at first, but he kept repeating those three words throughout the speech. Then I remembered his past affiliations as a Bonesman and with the CIA. He was already neck deep with the Council on Foreign Relations, too. That's the only way Ronnie was allowed to become the POTUS. To create the pathway for GHW Bush.
Bush 41 was antigun, too but he was quiet about it. Via EO he banned a number of extremely high quality firearms from being sold here. Like the H&K PSG-1 semi auto precision rifle. He choked off ammo too in the same manner or at least made it much more expensive. I think he stopped the uber cheap Chinese 7.62x39 from coming in, which is why the Russians still sell here. Maybe that's Russian ammo firms versus Chinese military surplus? I dunno for sure. I just know that GHW Bush was not the paragon of conservatism and freedom he's often portrayed as being.
