when Reagan won the nomination so long ago, something fishy happened at the convention when he picked elder Bush....I think there was some kind of threat or deal from elder Bush...because IIRC....the talk at the time was of someone other than Bushy.....there must have been pressure on Reagan to accept Bush....

once Reagan left office, its been Bush Sr and Bush Jr...if not for the brave House and Senate Republicans during the 90's who thrarted Clinton, things would be worse now...

but this current group of Congresscritters have had no backbone, no resolve....

I am looking for a change come November...for the better as far as the Congress goes....I think this sink hole we've been in has awakened many conservatives...

I know McCain ain't conservative....but I think we can get enough good solid Pubs in there to get things back in order....and McCain is much, much better than the two numbskulls who are currently opposing him.

I remember that very well, and have often wondered about it. I also remember that the Bushes and the Reagans did not seem to be very close.

I heard that the deal was that Reagan had to accept Bush as his running mate or the CFR would not back his candidacy. Implicit in this deal was the idea that the CFR was powerful enough to make or break Reagan. I’m not so sure. Do all the rich people keep their checkbooks shut just because the CFR tells them to?
