The first Bush was Reagan's biggest mistake

Not retaliating against the Muzzie militias in Beirut after they blew up the Marine and French barracks was his biggest mistake, amnesty his second biggest. Bush was third.

Rummy always impressed me as the smartest person in the Bush administration.

He is still just as articulate as always. Boy, I hope my mind is as sharp as his when I get his age.

You know he is right about Obama. “if you don’t know where your going any road will get you there” That is Obama in a nutshell, is it not?

___

George H. W. Bush was forced upon Ronald Reagan just as Lyndon Johnson was forced upon John Kennedy.

Rumsfeld was one of the few in the Bush Administration who tried to warn us of the danger coming over the uncontrolled Mexican border. Unfortunately, Bush listened to Rove, Norquist and Cruz.

(2004) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1281801/posts

DOBBS: Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is warning of the threat of terrorists entering this country through the same routes as those used by illegal aliens. Secretary Rumsfeld, traveling in South America, warned that enemies look for weaknesses and take advantage of them.

DONALD RUMSFELD, SECRETARY OF DEFENSE: The risk is that some of these human-smuggling routes into our country from this hemisphere could be used just as easily for terrorists.

DOBBS: And three million illegal aliens are estimated to be entering this country this year.

Secretary Rumsfeld also said the United States has to be, as he put it, smarter and quicker in securing our borders. The federal government’s failure to secure those borders is leading individual states to take action. Arizona’s Proposition 200, which limits state benefits for illegals, passed overwhelmingly two weeks ago. Now at least half a dozen other states are considering similar measures.

Didn’t they both have ‘brokered conventions’ and Bush and Johnson were forced because of that? I hope that doesn’t happen to Trump...

Oh, Obama knows where he’s going, and he knows the hell hole where he wants to lead this country and all of Western Civilization.

Arguably so, but for Reagan’s biggest mistake, I nominate making deals with Tip O’Neill to raise spending by 300% in exchange for reversible tax rate revisions. It’s saddled the US economy with a permanent requirement for Keynesian stimulus that guarantees Big Government and mass dependency, that politicians will never have the guts to end.

“The “dynasty” isn’t the issue. It’s that Jeb isn’t, and doesn’t want to be, conservative.”

Well, it IS a dynasty as well, because all of the Booshes are the same globalist, Saudi-loving a$$holes. None of them are, or ever were conservatives, not unlike most of the so-called conservatives we have in the Congress today.

Well its not so much its a dynasty as it is a globalist fellow travelers club that call a perverted, criminal, impeached former president adopted son and brother.
