HOUSTON (Reuters) - Former President George H.W. Bush urged disgruntled conservatives on Monday to rally around John McCain, calling their criticism of the Republican presidential front-runner "grossly unfair."
The father of President George W. Bush said he was annoyed by attacks within the conservative wing of the Republican Party against the Arizona senator, the all-but-certain Republican nominee to face Democrats in November election.
Many conservatives distrust McCain because of his moderate views on illegal immigration and campaign finance reform and for having originally voted against President Bush's tax cuts. Persuading them all to vote for McCain in November will be a central challenge.
"His character was forged in the crucible of war. His commitment to America is beyond any doubt," the 41st U.S. president, flanked by his wife Barbara, told a joint news conference with McCain in a Houston airport hanger.

What, exactly, would George Herbert Walker Bush know about being a Conservative?
TC
The “Club of Elites” are all getting together.
They just can’t get it into their smug heads that we are not “mind-numbed robots” waiting to follow them into the sea.
Bush 41 in particular didn’t learn from his “No new taxes” backstabbing.
Neither does McCain. Anybody got plans for Jan 20?
Better than the Club of COMMIES on the demorat ticket!
Quite frankly, who gives a rat’s rear end what George “read my lips” says
I do , and I wonder what was the outcome on this story?
Abdul Rehman Jinnah (a.k.a. “Ray” Jinnah, Abdul Jinnah and Rehman Jinnah) is a Northridge, California, businessman and Pakistani immigrant who is being sought by the FBI on charges of Illegal Campaign Contributions and Conspiracy.
Jinnah, who hosted fundraisers in Southern California for Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barbara Boxer, has been charged with funneling illegal contributions to Clinton’s political action committee, HILL PAC, and Boxer’s 2004 reelection campaign, Robin Fields and Chuck Neubauer reported March 3, 2007, in the Los Angeles Times.
In 2004, Jinnah “was also involved in organizing the Pakistani American Leadership Center (web), which helped form” a Congressional Pakistan Caucus [1], which “was created through a Congressional initiative” of Co-Chairs Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) and Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.). [2]
Jinnah is accused of “engineering more than $50,000 in illegal donations to the Democratic committees. A business associate charged as a co-conspirator has entered a guilty plea and is scheduled to be sentenced in Los Angeles next week,” Fields and Neubauer wrote.
Jinnah “attempted to circumvent election laws by reimbursing friends, business contacts and their family members for contributions made in their names, according to court records,” Fields and Neubauer wrote. Between “June 2004 to February 2005, Jinnah directly or indirectly solicited contributions from more than a dozen ‘conduits,’ reimbursing them with funds from his company, All American Distributing, a seller of cellphone service and accessories. ... Authorities said the scheme allowed Jinnah to get around limits then in effect on individual donors of $5,000 per year to PACs and $2,000 per election to candidates, as well as the ban on using corporate money for political donations.”

Who cares what that globalist pos thinks about anything. He's the biggest RINO of all. McCain is where he is because the media and the other globalists wanted him there. They made sure that the only two conservatives were virtually shut out of the debates, insuring that they would be gone. McCain is NO conservative, and I detest him with a passion. I will NEVER forgive him for what he has done to hurt America/Americans.
However, that being said, I would crawl across a parking lot full of broken glass, while holding my nose to vote against Hillary or Obama! We KNOW what that socialist pig Hillary will do to America, and Obama is to the left of her with Ted Kennedy and John Kerry in his ear, so we cannot allow him to win.
I AM VOTING AGAINST HILLARY AND OBAMA BECAUSE AMERICA/AMERICANS CANNOT AFFORD EITHER ONE OF THEM IN OFFICE.
IF that puts McCain in office, then so be it.
I guess ignorance runs in the Bush family. Four words showing more than doubt about McCain's commitment to America: Juan Hernandez, McCain-Kennedy
Americans are shedding blood and worse daily because of the illegal trash this "hero" lures to our land with his constant attempts at amnesty.
McCnutts can go to hell. And anyone who thinks they alone have the high ground on this can go along with him. How about you vote your way and give us the same privilege?
You are a democrat that knows that pushing McCnutts is the best way for you to put Hillary in the White House.
How do you demagoguery right back at you?
Ha ha.
I’m waiting to see who he wants for VP. If it is a strong conservative...maybe.
If he/she is a moderate, then it will be time to put 100% of my effort into Congress.
Hey farmer, enjoying the holiday? Good to see you on the thread.
Regards
No I am a Republican who knows that this is what The Clintons are all about!

can someone post the utube picture of bush senior all but mentioning the NAU in an inaugural speech.
Bush elder headed up the cia. the cia is a liberal agency that follows the money. big money wants the worlds countries united under one big UN umbrella. They can’t do it directly so they’ll do it by grouping states together. In the new world it will be the NAU and some latin american federation. But that will be followed by a new world superstate.
by this time no one will give a rats ass about any of these superstate things and they’ll just be able to merge the new world superstates into oceana europe and asian states. all under the UN.
The criticism of mccain is perfectly appropriate and fair. McCain buys into the whole stupid mess. The way it will be implemented is that the illegals will be legalized.
This is just about the last election where the english speaking America has control over the issue.
The democrats are also sold out to the same thing. They’ll do it faster.
That’s the difference between McCain & the dems. He’ll do it slower and more deliberately. the dems will do it faster and with less deliberation.
