You sound angry about the past because now you find out Bush is not what you thought he was. But I always look on the bright side of these things. You can't alter the past but you can imagine the disastrous results if GW had not been elected twice.

Just because I voted for George Bush, doesn't mean he hoodwinked me. It just means between him and the only other candidate, Bush was the better of the two both in 2000 against Gore and in 2004 against Kerry. Just as we dodged a big bullet in this election when Trump defeated Hillary, so did we when Bush saved us from Gore and Kerry. You think Kerry was bad as Sec. of State? Just think of him for 4 years as the president. And Gore and his climate BS. He'd have picked our wallets dry to line his, all in the name of changing the climate.

So Is Bush perfect? Certainly not. But seeking perfection is a waste of time because no one is perfect. Is he your favorite guy now? Apparently not, but he was at the time we needed him to avoid a democRAT takeover. And in stopping that, he did his job.

But I have never looked at our presidential elections as picking the "perfect" candidate, but the lesser of two evils. It's always been that way. Always. You hold your nose and vote for the guy who is not as bad as the other guy. Do you think I liked voting for that loser McPain-In-The-Ass in 2008? No, because I don't like the guy at all. But he was better than Obama by a mile and I liked Sarah Palin on the ticket. Do I regret voting for McCain/Palin. Certainly not. But he's still a RINO jerk.

But to get angry at these people when they don't turn out to be our perfect ideological knights-in-shining-armor, is a waste of time because you can't do anything about it. Look on the bright side and be glad Jeb didn't get the nomination or Hillary the presidency.

Be thankful we got the guy we need at this moment in history, Donald Trump, just as we needed GW Bush back in the early 2000s. And feel good about it, not angry.

Of course he did. You and millions of others have been getting conned by the globalist/corrupt establishment and their media co-conspirators long before Bush and subsequent to Bush. And this goes for both Democrats and Republicans.

Some of us have been trying to get through for decades, advising people they were being conned and hoodwinked by very corrupt insiders. They've all been riding in the same limo for decades. It took many years for this to sink in, and years of decline for millions to come to the realization they they've been conned, hoodwink, lied to and deceived.
