Got a question for all Bush Family Fans out there, Just What did 12(4 years 41 8 year 42) get us?

Just wondering...

[TigersEye]

Saved us from presidents Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry.

Because actual conservatives couldn't have possibly beat a wimp, a moron and a traitor. /s

[mountainlion]

Not Dukkakis, Not Gore, Not Kerry and his beloved jane fonda.

We got Sarah.

[Lou Budvis]

But, W’s ineptitude got us 0bama - who has been worse than all those three could’ve been due to his cult of personality.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Utter WILLFUL failure on borders.

[US Navy Vet]

And just HOW MANY of these “MSM lies” did Bush or his Toadies EVER refute...Bueller...Bueller...Bueller? ZERO!

[bigbob]

a reasonable assurance we won’t have 4 or 8 years of Jeb

[1rudeboy]

Don’t forget, the 49ers gave us the Ravens.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Would you have preferred President Dukakis, President Gore, and President Kerry?

[Defiant]

That assumes that Dukakis would have won if it hadn't been GHW Bush, an unlikely proposition. It also assumes that Clinton would have won in 1992 against someone other than Bush, an unlikely proposition. It also assumes that even if Gore was running in 2000 as the sitting VP (if Clinton is not Prez then that is not the case), that if you run a real conservative, he would not win. I think that is not true.

The question is a good one; I believe, and have for quite a while, that the Bush family views it as their calling to oversee the leftward move of the US Government in a moderate way, and certainly does not see the New Deal and Great Society as things to be repealed.

[svcw]

Why are you even asking, just to have your point of view verified by people who do not like Bush either?

[dfwgator]

If Bush didn’t run in 92, would Perot have run?

[Amendment10]

As a side note to Bush-basing, please consider the following.

With all due respect to the family, friends and supporters of the late Ronald Reagan, I can’t think of any 20th century president, even conservative presidents, that weren’t oblivious to Congress’s Section 8, Article I-limited powers.

Conservative does not necessarily mean respect for the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers.

[thackney]

Do you believe, that if several years down the road, a future administration changes a good policy to bad, then the previous administration did no good at all?

[The_Media_never_lie]

Unending wars in Iraq And Bumphukistan.

[1rudeboy]

No, not at all. That’s why I corrected the person who posted this thread. The marginal tax rates on all income brackets except the highest are lower, thanks to Bush 43.

[The_Victor]

But, W’s ineptitude got us 0bama - who has been worse than all those three could’ve been due to his cult of personality.

There's no reason to expect we wouldn't have had president 0bama anyway. Imagine where we'd be with him following president Gore or Kerry.

[staytrue]

Bush 41, kicked saddam out of kuwait, did a miraculous job of containing the S and L crises, was the last president that both parties looked up to in terms of personal character.

Bush 43 brought us “the bush tax cuts”, recovery from 9-11, kicked saddam out of Iraq, kept “Kyoto Al” out of the white house.

[TexasCajun]

[staytrue]

“Saddam’s head.
Which 41 should have gotten back in 1991. “

Actually, 41 was smart enough to not invade Iraq, 43 probably made a wrong decision to do so.

“Miss me Yet?” About as much as I “Miss” another “Fine””Texan” LBJ.
