A lot of us did our damndest to warn about GWB and the direction that he was taking America.

Rock, meet hard place. The alternatives were unthinkable.

“You are delusional.”

That’s a pretty disgusting response now isn’t it! If GHWB had been a good, respected president during his first term, there would not have been a Perot and he would have been re-elected on the basis of his performance as president. I don’t what motivated that worthless little F*cker Perot, but he was only a spoiler for a failed Boosh I Presidency. And maybe is was just a Clinton “hired turd,” to split the vote.

President Reagan’s BIGGEST MISTAKE was taking George H W Bush as his VP.

I understand why Reagan did it and do not fault him for it. This is because where are country politically was at the time. Reagan had to pick and choose his battles, and he was thinking of the big picture.

Can you imagine if the Bush-wing (aka the Fake Republicans wing that are DNC plants at the top) tried to force President Trump in 2016 to add Jeb on to the Trump ticket as his VP?

I think President Trump would have told the Bushs to go pound sand. Although President Trump could get away with it today, but I don’t think so in 1980 against the Bush family. Again it was a different time for our Republic.

And yet we got the alternatives anyway.

GWB made Barack Obama happen.

I remember a BLOWHARD politician named George H. Bush telling me.. "read my lips, NO new taxes"... followed by a tax increase.

George senior can go pi$$ up a rope.

“”If one presidential candidate can disassemble a political party, it speaks volumes about how strong a legacy its past two presidents really had,” a White House official told CNN.””

I love the snappy repartees we have been seeing lately. Even in the middle of my sleepless nights, hours after a comment was called for, I couldn’t come up with anything that fast! Or that good!

I agree that Ross Perot was, and is, a turd.

it could be argued that the old man gave us Bill and Hillary Clinton.

And sadam Heiussein. When he had the chance to end Sadam, OLD Bush chickened out and pulled out in 100 days instead of finishing the job he started...leaving his son to have to sweep up the shit some years later.
Mr. “No new Taxes” certainly helped give us slick willie, and his even more deplorable wife.

George wanted to give Harriet a nice present. He could not find the right gift in a store so he nominated her for the Supreme Court.

Agreed about Souter and even Roberts. Look how easily Trump put a conservative on the court on his first try. It’s not that hard.

Exactly. They raised another spoiled brat/ punk in Jeb. The kid went to Mexico. His wife leads him around like a dog on a leash with a harness on his crotch. What a damn joke this family is. Not a one has the balls to really serve this nation.

Perhaps they did and perhaps he did. Could be the reason for the hostility.

I think, with Trump, there is hope. Guys like Rand Paul are also ready to act, but I don't think the media is going to change.

Control of the narrative is how they control the direction of peoples thoughts.

Most people, that is.

Both Bush’s were not up to the job. When are we going to demand excellence again as opposed to wealth or some liberal BS? I say the Pres must be a businessman as the military Gen’s are BS today.
