George W Bush thinks Sarah Palin is 'unqualified'
Telegraph UK ^

Posted on 11/05/2010 11:26:17 PM PDT by Chet 99

Mr Bush has allegedly told friends that Mrs Palin is not qualified to be president and criticises John McCain for picking her as his Running Mate in 2008

"Naming Palin makes Bush think less of McCain as a man," a Republican official close to Mr Bush told the New York Daily News.

"He thinks McCain ran a lousy campaign with an unqualified running mate and destroyed any chance of winning by picking Palin."

Mr Bush has allegedly been disparaging about Mrs Palin in the past.

Matt Latimer, former special assistant to Mr Bush, wrote in a book released last year: "'I'm trying to remember if I've met her before. I'm sure I must have.' [Mr Bush's] eyes twinkled, then he asked, 'What is she, the governor of Guam?'"

Jim Rob, as long as the GOP/Tea Party do not put up RINOS like MITT ROMNEY, HUCK, I am fine with that.
Also, as long as the GOP/Tea Party nominates someone like Jim Demint, Mike Pence, Sarah Palin, or someone else who rises up in the ranks who holds our conservative values, I am fine with that.

Matt Latimer, former special assistant to Mr Bush, wrote in a book released last year: “’I’m trying to remember if I’ve met her before. I’m sure I must have.’ [Mr Bush’s] eyes twinkled, then he asked, ‘What is she, the governor of Guam?’”

I would think this quote would be more likely to be true as it’s given by a known aide in a tell-all. At any rate it doesn’t speak very highly of Bush as he disparages another Republican Governor and he doesn’t come off sounding terribly lucid.

I have trouble believing that Bush would have said anything like that.

This gets posted over and over with slightly different titles. Bush is keeping his mouth shut and has twice on national television refused to voice any opinion on Palin pro or con saying he is going to act like he wishes former presidents had acted towards him and just stay out of politics and not comment on anything political.

Get a friggin clue, this is intended to sow division within the Republican party folks and to try and drive a wedge between the Tea Party folk and the Republicans. There's enough problems getting the Republican party back on track by adopting Tea Party goals and principals without jumping on the “screw Bush” bandwagon every time they dangle a bit of bait in your face.

Rove and Kraut, those boys are obvious and deserve what they get so go at them. They may even be the ones spreading this crap in hopes of making Bush pick a side rather than leaving them, as they see it, hanging out to dry.

Don't fall for the ploys that will be coming thick and fast, many of them trying to build on the six years of constant anti-Bush propaganda that was so successful for the fascists. You want to hand them another victory by falling for their propaganda rather than sticking together?

This is the LAST chance, kids, if we don't hang together after this election and stick together through four or five more elections, we will sure as hell be hanging separately and I don't mean that figuratively.

Regards

LOL. His Dad thought the same thing about Reagan. Reagan had his Dad for lunch in the 1980 primaries.

I didn’t see that, but it says a lot and, unfortunately, confirms the story. Also, if he’d wanted, he’d have had friendly interviewer Hannity ask him about it so he could debunk the false story. The sooner we move beyond the Bushes and the Bush operatives still out there the better.

Or was it simply because his wife would have pitched a fit if he had? Just something to think about. :)

Anyway, how did Abe Lincoln figure into this?

My point is, it bothers me the way people seem to worship Palin in the same way people worship Obama.

It’s creepy.

Sorry, but I’ll remain cautious and not be so eager to jump into Sarah’s fan club until I feel some degree of certainty that she’s the best candidate.

Yeah, she’s a chick, so? So am I.

And I’ll be the first to admit she’s smart, she’s beautiful....so are plenty of other “chicks”, but that doesn’t mean they’d make good presidents.

I guess I’m not as easily sold as some.
