Former President George H.W. Bush is bucking his party's presidential nominee and plans to vote for Hillary Clinton in November, according to a member of another famous political family, the Kennedys.

Bush, 92, had intended to stay silent on the White House race between Clinton and Donald Trump, a sign in and of itself of his distaste for the GOP nominee. But his preference for the wife of his own successor, President Bill Clinton, nonetheless became known to a wider audience thanks to Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend, the former Maryland lieutenant governor and daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy.

On Monday, Townsend posted a picture on her Facebook page shaking hands next to the former president and this caption: "The President told me he’s voting for Hillary!!”

In a telephone interview, Townsend said she met with the former president in Maine earlier today, where she said he made his preference known that he was voting for a Democrat. “That’s what he said,” she told POLITICO.

I’m sure he served in wartime fine, I just have major issues with any globalist, one wanting to usher in a new world order. Those kinds of people are treasonous traitors.

If the claim is untrue, then the Bush family should have issued a statement immediately. This rumor is coming from America’s most vile leftist political family - the Kennedys - not from some guy in a barbershop. The claim needs to be refuted if not true.

So true but as probably the most qualified (by resume) of any POTUS in our time he allowed Dick Gephardt and George Kennedy to destroy his presidency. He also allowed the great affirmative action democrat general posing as a republican-Powell— the lead in permitting the Republican Guard to escape and continue Saddam Hussein’s oppression of Iraq. Which began the process of leading to the mess we have today, including bath House Barry.

He’s a sack.

A sad sack.

Voting for Helliry is the fitting end to a life of compromise and deception.

No I was not calling you a bastard. That was meant for GHW Bush. Along with this, which evidently pissed off a Bush lover, so much that they had to delete it.

“Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective – a New World Order – can emerge. . . Now, we can see a New World Order coming into view. A world in which there is a very real prospect for a New World Order. . .A world where the United Nations, freed from a Cold War stalemate, is poised to fulfill the historic vision of its founders.” —George H. Bush- Address Before a Joint Session of Congress (September 11, 1990)

The truth is good for you, like sunlight, but too much all at once can really hurt.

"Preferred" over whom? Barbara?

George, you horny devil! Who would have suspected there was something about Madame Hillary that sparked your interest!

What was it? The way she filled out a pants suit? Some rare musky odor she had?

Maybe Lothario George was trying to make KHKT and just told her what he thought she wanted to hear.

PS, What's with KHKT and all the middle names? You wonder if she thinks she was the Dutchess of Bleeding Devonshire herself.
