Listened to Bush Sr.
Gave lots of credit to others, but there was a stark omission of Reagan.
No Credit for Reagan???
The Bushes are not conservatives. They are country club RINOS who are able to sometimes masquerade as conservatives.
If it wasn’t for Reagan, Bush 41 and 43 would be unknowns.
He pisses me off, did someone tell this guy that Reagan is dead?
He needs to stop holding a grudge against the dead guy.
Can’t think of anything good to say about Bush, so i won’t say anything...
The Bush family needs to admit that there’s not a conservative bone in any of their bodies. They’re the epitome of the wishy-washy RINOS in the squishy middle trying to be appeasers and they don’t even realize that there’s nothing in the world that’ll make the Left stop vilifying them.
Reagan was more of a man than all of the Bush males put together. I met W’s nephew one time at an event and he seemed like an empty suit being groomed for a life in politics. Nothing real about him at all. No core.
Reagan had a core. Reagan had beliefs and principles. Voting for him in 1984 was my proudest moment ever in electoral politics.
There’s not enough context in this post to mete out such strong statements...
Did everybody posting hear the interview? What exactly did he not say so strongly? I didn’t hear it and there’s not much to go on here.
He was my first vote as an adult and I had the honor of serving under him in the Army 2 months after I voted for him. My best vote ever, wow I miss him these days.
Pres. Reagan knew 30 years ago what the Bush zombies just recently figured out...
The point is what you didn’t hear.
He went through a long list of those responsible for contributing to the collaspe of the Soviet Union and the Removal of the Wall.
His list was made up mostly of East Germans and Soviet Officials with a few people from his own state department.
James Baker had heaps of praise from Bush Sr. Nothing for Reagan, not even a mention in the entire interview.
Are you going to post the video? Or are we just supposed to take your word for it that the interview went off exactly as you said.
As the Man himself would say, trust but verify. Could we at least see a transcript before the trash talk?
Amen
I didn’t see it, but find it hard to believe any sane person wouldn’t acknowledge it. Maybe Bush41 thought it was obvious? Reagan was the reason the Berlin Wall fell.
No one said Reagan was perfect.
I am sure it will be posted here, watch tomorrow http://www.foxnews.com/ontherecord/index.html
