Yeah, would have to agree, but you know I wonder how much of this is age too on the part of Bush senior. My dad who will be 80 next May, still thinks the Democrat party of the party of Truman. He sees Hillary as a crook but will still vote for her because there is a “D” behind her name.

W and Jeb get it. They just don’t want to admit it. :)

Talk about low energy — Sr Bush 41 virtually disappeared campaigning against the Slick William J. Clinton. Had he won that winnable race we wouldn’t have the Hellabeast-—she would be a retired granny footnote where she belongs.
Another fine Bush family contribution inflicted upon America.

I agree for the most part with your assessment of McCain. However, he certainly is not on a pedestal nor should he be placed on one and allowed to treat the base of the Republican part as he had for so long. If he wants broad based respect for himself, he needs to reciprocate it.

They must’ve thought Jeb was a shoe-in. Wake up and smell the coffee, we’re sick of the downward spiral we’ve been locked into for years.

Unlike Perot, Trump is’t a third party candidate. He’s going for the GOP nomination.

Who was the first US President to utter these words?

“New world order”

answer: George Herbert Walker Bush. 10 months after the fall Eastern European and Russian communism

___

___

___

On Sept. 11, 1990, President George Herbert Walker Bush addressed the nation and voiced those now infamous words before a joint session of Congress:

“The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward a historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective—a new world order—can emerge. . . .”

Bush the Elder is a longtime luminary of the Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg’s brother group that has an interlocking leadership and a common goal of world government.

So good it needs repeating. SEPTEMBER 11, 1990

I read both articles: Breitbart’s and the linked NYT’s.

Jeb is supposed to make GHWB’s dynasty complete in his life time.

Boo-Hoo.

American politics and politicians are already too incestuous and family dynasties should have died with JFK.

Too many Kennedy’s, Bush’s and now Clinton’s!

The Bush family are decent and kind people—lets not demonize them however GHWB swung in on the coat-tails of Reagan whom he is not. Both Sr and Jr Georges compromised too much with leftist DemRat policies because they see nicety nice fairness as good statesmanship. Look where destructive leftist policies have gotten us? Now neither the leftists nor the true conservatives respect or admire the Bushes. Only the elite established GOPeee does because it keeps their game flowing as in past eras.

[Had Bush 41 not squandered the legacy handed to him by Reagan, Perot would have never achieved any level of popularity.]

AMEN

This “article” is just a bunch of NYT excerpts with a Breitbart headline.

I just learned HW Bush gave that speech on September 11th, 1990. Exactly 11 years to the day.

The irony....

Another funny thing is that HW Bush claims he could not recall where he was the day JFK was assisaninated. That’s like forgetting where you were on September 11th, 2001 or on Pearl Harbor? How can this Yale graduate, CIA Director “forget” where he was at that day?

The funny thing is someone took a photo where you can see someone that looks just like HW Bush in a crowd in Dallas.

Oh and he mentioned Prescott Bush who was one of the founders of Planned Parenthood. You know, where they harvest babies. Yeah a real nice guy. He even helped finance the Nazis. Oh but they say it was just strictly commercial bank reasons... LOL! Yeah tell me another lie Bush’s.

I think John McCain is an @sshole. And his military background is irrelevant to my assessment of him. He’s an @sshole whether he was a military hero, an incompetent pilot, or a draft dodger.

Daddy Bush wimped out and didn’t finish the job in Iraq in 1991.

His son tried to correct that error and made it worse.

His other son wants to finish the job of erasing the southern border and sovreignty of the Unted Sates started by Poppy Bush.

We have one last chance to save our country.

The man’s 91 years old, he deserves a little slack in the memory department.
