Very late in 92', Bush realized he had so lost the Republican base that he personally appeared on his show.

My memories.
He lost to Clinton.
Different world if he doesn’t choke b
Wasn’t he literally worse than Hitler?
Or was that Reagan? GW Bush? Trump?
I see a pattern here.
GHW Bush was a patrician, liberal Republican who saved us from Michael Dukakis and an Iraqi takeover of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. He was there when the Soviet Union fell. All in all, he was a good POTUS.
Memories. They’re important:
“Where were you the day JFK was shot in Dallas..?”
“I don’t remember...”
“Err....you were not in DALLAS...?”
“Oh yeah..!”
He was as corrupt as anybody in DC.

Before folks have heart attacks, read the whole post at least.
My memories. Turned back on NRA.
No new taxes.
“voodoo economics”
Did a fake throat slit when asked about Trump
Married a woman who looked 250 years old by 50.
He saw a NWO.
IN retrospect, I dont think he was a bad man...I think he fought valiantly in WWII and really loved the country more than money and the sauds at one time.
Then I guess DC got to his mind and somewhere between the 1960s to the 1980s, he bought into an ideology that is basically enslavement of first world countries.
Perhaps he REALLY thought a NWO order would be paradise!
Maybe someone decieved him and he believed it.
Bush and his whole Republican party were “racists” according to Colin Powell, the man he appointed to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and his son appointed to be the first black Secretary of State - funny how time changes people’s memories......
Rush makes some good points.
I would add to Rush’s observations of the press’ attempt to rewrite history that they left out some history. When H.W stepped down from the stage and did not criticize his successor to the office (no matter how corrupt his successor’s administration was over the next 8 years) in respect to the tradition of George Washington. Such traditions only apply to Republicans ... unlike big mouths WJC and BHO who were not worthy of the office.
Actually, I was in Dallas, two blocks away. Had absolutely no idea what was going on. Just a lot of adults running around like chickens with their heads cut off.
thanks for the perspective-—you are a lot kinder than I would’ve been.And let’s not forget that the invasion of Iraq was kickstarted in part by the testimony of a young woman who claimed to be an eyewitness to Iraqi soldiers pulling the plug on numerous infants in the hospital. IIRC she turned out to be the daughter of an Ambassador and the testimony was fake.
“Republican who saved us from Michael Dukakis and an Iraqi takeover of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia”
... and I am most grateful that he did that. RIP George.
Ah, i was SO UTTERLY BRUTAL on him on Every Thread that mentioned his death that I felt a little bad.
I didn’t lose sleep.
But I felt bad :)
Yes, the phony liar was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the US, who stood to profit greatly from the US invasion; she lied out her tail and was never prosecuted for lying under oath. Rush Limbaugh will say anything about you if you invite him to the White House, allow him to hobnob with famous people, and treat him with some degree of respect, unlike the NFL owners. Sorry, but I don’t buy into the hagiography for Bush; he was better than his progeny but they all were somebodies solely because of President Reagan, period, and what did the give in return other than to despise his base of the Party and throw away the Grand Coalition he built???
I don’t hate old man Bush and rest in peace. BUT he was partly responsible for the disastrous 1990 immigration bill which opened up the flood gates
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Act_of_1990
He also put together much of NAFTA though it passed Congress during Bill Clinton’s regime.
On the plus side we went into Iraq and got out very cleanly. So trillions were not blown on building Muslim nations. Nor thousands maimed and dead on the American side as in GW’s wars.

The Immigration Act of 1990
The Immigration Act of 1990 (Pub.L. 101–649, 104 Stat. 4978, enacted November 29, 1990) was signed into law by George H. W. Bush on November 29, 1990.[1] It was first introduced by Senator Ted Kennedy in 1989. It was a national reform of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. It increased total, overall immigration to allow 700,000 immigrants to come to the U.S. per year for the fiscal years 1992–94, and 675,000 per year after that.[2] It provided family-based immigration visa, created five distinct employment based visas, categorized by occupation, and a diversity visa program that created a lottery to admit immigrants from “low admittance” countries [3] or countries where their citizenry was underrepresented in the U.S.
Besides these immigrant visas there were also changes in nonimmigrant visas like the H-1B visa for highly skilled workers. There were also cutbacks in the allotment of visas available for extended relatives.[4] Congress also created the temporary protected status (TPS visa), which the Attorney General may provide to immigrants who are temporarily unable to safely return to their home country because of ongoing armed conflict, an environmental disaster, or other extraordinary and temporary condition. It specifically benefited citizens of El Salvador.[2]
The act also lifted the English testing process for naturalization that had been imposed in the Naturalization Act of 1906 for permanent residents who are over 55 and have been living in the United States for fifteen years as a permanent resident,[5] [6] and eliminated exclusion of homosexuals under the medically unsound classification of “sexual deviant” that was in the 1965 Act.[7] George H. W. Bush is quoted in saying “I am also pleased to note that this Act facilitates immigration not just in numerical terms, but also in terms of basic entry rights of those beyond our borders.”[8]
More.
He was the devil incarnate.
Cozying up to the Clintons when he knew full well Bubba was a RAPIST and WOMAN ABUSER and HIllary was an enabler was enough for me
My friend’s wife was like you, the next street over or so, getting a ride to the dentist by her mother. They had no idea what the commotion was about. She was about 8 years old.
My husband and I was in Germany. He was in our bedroom listening to AFN and I was listening to a German radio program from Stuttgart that had every Friday a music program. You could call in and request hits to be played when the program was interrupted and announced that he had be shot. At this time AFN did not have TV in Germany.
Yeah AGAIN i’m saying what I don’t mean here to appease certain folks who can’t let go of fake memories if him being a patriot.
#### him. I don’t care what folks think.
He fought in WWII.
So did FIVE MILLION other guys and they didn’t go on to try to hand us over to the UN!!
He was a TRAITOR of the first degree.
...spit...
