That was how the uniparty kept us in chains. We could vote but they saw to it that we never had a decent candidate to vote for, always one of THEM.

Shut up, W, you aren’t president anymore. I retroactively take back both times I voted for you.

Like I didn’t really ever know him.

None of us really knew him then. The entire family has been outed now as the NWO RINOs they always were. At least we got to see Jeb's presidential run fizzle like a dud bottle rocket.

I am “disturbed” too by almost any utterance that comes out of the mouth of a Bush.

Hey Dad! Any Illegal Aliens here in Kennebunkport? HA! Just kidding! We're sure safe here. Let the rest of the country deal with them.

No illegals, but there are some undocumented ones mowing the estate's lawn, working in the kitchen and watching the niños. It's like that Masterpiece Theater show "Upstairs, del Piso de Abajo".

The chief competition to him in the 2000 primaries was none other than John S. McCain of AZ.

IIRC GW Bush, during his 2000 run for the WH, said, or strongly implied, he was going to get tough on illegal immigration.

Once he was in office, he did a complete 180.

He even tried to ram through an immigration 'reform' bill that was clearly amnesty.

Once his plan was discovered it was defeated.

W wasn’t above the fray to viciously attack McCain before the SC primary. But when it comes to Democrats, W is so noble. McCain has the same trait.

Yep. I wonder how many applecarts BO upset, as well. He wasn't an outsider, but wasn't an insider, either. I suppose that he was compliant enough to be managed by those around him.

However, he made the mistake of tossing a few Hail Marys before the uniparty was ready. The sheeple weren't quite ready to accept Obamacare, Gay Marriage, and unrestricted illegal immigration. If he'd kept a lid on it, or just moved the ball a little farther, we'd have President Hillary, now.

It was a close call, as it was. Hillary would have preserved all the "gains" BO made. And, with 3-5 SCOTUS pics over the next few years, America probably would not have gotten hauled back from the brink.

Bugger off George you punter. Didn’t you do enough damage during your 8 years?

And, as I recall, the Republicans RINOs were slaughtered in the next mid-term election as a result.

He’s disturbed it’s being discussed and his role in it will be exposed.

Bush said the current immigration debate “doesn’t recognize” the “valuable contributions” of foreign nationals.

The real question is why didn't you do anything significant about ILLEGAL immigration? Most Americans have no problem with LEGAL merit-based immigration and military marriage immigration (green card).

Seriously W; you really have nothing meaningful to add to this conversation at this point. You had your chance and you mucked it up. Sit back and watch how a true American President handles it. Hint: There's a wall involved and E-Verify.

During a panel discussion alongside former President Bill Clinton, Bush said the current immigration debate

Bush and Clinton playing buddies. That is where he lost me. Condoning perversion is one thing but also condoning balkanizing America is worse.

I always had the feeling that BO was bought & paid for from his college days. Bill Ayers mentored him. he had a wealthy Saudi paying his bills and advancing his career.

GW stepping aside for BO in the last few months of his Presidency, allowing BO to decide policy was very suspect to me. At the time I thought it was an excess of gentlemanly behavior but now I think it was because they had the same agenda.

And it obscures the fact — the rhetoric does — that the system is broken and needs to be fixed.”

Yep, and you and Bill and Obumma kicked the can down the road and now when someone has to clean up your mess you don't like the harsh talk - get over it, you are much to blame.

“We’ve all been played for suckers for decades now.”

Man, isn’t that the truth! And if it were not for Donald J. Trump to hit us over the head with the fact that the GOP is a bucket of cocks, we’d still be supporting ( and voting for) these a$$holes. Finally, hopefully now we can root out the bad apples, which is most of them, and put real committed conservatives to pubic office at all levels.

Amen! Our immigration system actually PUNISHES talented foreigners who could contribute and want to come legally by putting them through a 7-to-9 year trip through Bureaucrat Hell in order to get their green cards.

Conversely we coddle criminals and gang members who step over our southern border with no documentation.

It’s amazing how a Donald Trump can point out the inefficiencies of a George Bush in one year.

Amazing.
