Good Riddance to the Bush Regime

The title says it all. DITTOS!

I could not agree more.

I thought the second Bush President to be a basically good guy, but in over his head. I voted twice for him because his surname was neither Gore nor Kerry.

FTA: "[Romney] claimed that he represented the “wise wing” of the Republican Party." We should have a spelling bee between the wise latina and the wise guy and see who is the wisest of them all.

I am proud to admit that I have not voted for a Bush since November 2004. That includes one opportunity to vote against Jeb Bush in the 2016 primary and six opportunities to vote against George P. Bush in primary and general elections. I expect to go to my grave with that November 2004 vote as my last vote for a Bush.

Looking back, W. and H.W. seem like they were from another age. They were globalist, insular, snobby and elitist but it is only recently that those traits appear menacing, repulsive even, rather than funny or annoying. I believe Donald Trump should get credit for breaking whatever spell we voted under and that is why people like Pence, any Bush, Mitch McConnell, Romney, Graham, etc. seem so inadequate and so yesterday. Just a side note: was anyone else as turned off by H.W.’s funeral as I was? It was so excessive considering he was a one term President who was more tolerated than beloved. It was a combination of the Lincoln and JFK funerals in its length, ceremony and decoration and didn’t at all reflect the feelings of the common American.

The Democrats defeated HW Bush by running Ross Perot against him, and splitting off 13% of conservative votes, allowing Bill Clinton to win with 43% of the popular vote.

Just what did George H. W. Bush accomplish to get a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier named after him? And as for the regime, we need an amendment to address nepotism among office holders.

When I think of all the times I went nose to nose with communists, defending those Bush people, I am ashamed. Everything the communists were saying was right. I still dont like their solutions, but they identified the problem perfectly.

Amen.

#6 - Regarding Pappy Bush's funeral. What was in those envelopes given to all the ex-presidents?

George W. Bush turned out to be a liar, betrayer to the dummies like myself who voted for him twice, a traitor, a stooge of Obama and the communist death democrats, and sent thousands of our soldiers to their tragic, meaningless deaths. A real evil guy and to my everlasting shame and regret, I voted for him. Twice.

I agree about HW’s funeral. It was way overdone. McCain’s was the worst for he wanted something more befitting some sort of King the pompous conservative-hating Senator was given his wish. Trump bent himself in a pretzel to give McCain family perks they should not have had with their wealth. The partisan tone of McCain’s daughter made it a truly tacky event.

The Bush regime goes back to Prescott, he of dubious loyalties to we the people, but well versed with German bankers who stashed money in Wall Street Banks in the run up to the WWII and who shared a strong interest in the Eugenics movement with Margaret Sanger and the Third Reich. That elitist Yalie exclusivity who shared in a multi generational attitude that Wall Street and the Federal Government operated to separate democratic, representative limited government middle class Americans from real wealth and power. Prescotts friends in the Senate, Murkowskis father, McConnell's mentor became friends of his Son George during the sixties and seventies and George played his fathers rolodex and Network through the CIA and the federal government. George was Nixon's first envoy to China where he of course started the course of benefiting he and his international friends with trade deals. It started then, and he assumed he would be the heir to the thrown in 1980. He put Bush loyalists in place in the RNC, the Senate republican committee. Since the early seventies you cannot swing a dead cat without hitting second and third generation mediocre ivy league Bush loyalists riding a desk. Donors and frat brothers. CIA and State department. Just as Hillary and Obama have planted their loyalists and fellow travelers in the justice department and FBI and EPA, so is the CIA and State department heavy with Bushies. Think mediocre smartasses with no real skills, like Jonah Goldberg. Karl Rove is the ultimate example of the rise of loyal mediocre college republicans who rose from envelope stuffers and door knockers to power brokers--- no principles, just power. And that trickle down antidemocratic Bush and Romney and Rove attitude of elitism permeates into state legislatures, where Tea Party, Pro Trump, Pro Reagan, Pro Palin, Pro God, pro limitied government T party types need not apply. Getting rid of big government loving, mediocre elitists who want status and power will take more than disinfectant and a good day in Texas. The bushes are a three generation infestation, hoping for more. And they despise us as much as Obama and Hillary.

Re: #8 - GHW Bush, at 18 y/o, was a Navy pilot during WWII, one of the youngest in the war, who saw significant combat action in the Pacific. As the son of a U.S. senator, he did not have to volunteer to serve at all, much less in combat. Some do not honor GHW's wartime service because he was shot down while in combat action. He also achieved his limited and stated objective as C-in-C during Desert Storm, carrying on Regan's post-Vietnam rebuild of our military, shredded and hollowed out during the Carter years, while not expanding the scope of our mission to hang around and "nation build" for another decade or two. Bush did not alter the trajectory of the decline and collapse of the U.S.S.R. that had commenced in earnest under Reagan. I suppose, if you have no problem with a carrier named after Gerald Ford, then GHW Bush does not pale by comparison.
