Thank you for posting this youtube link. It made my day.
For those who criticize Bushes Vis-a-vis Reagan, please remember federal spending nearly tripled during Reagan’s 2 terms. But in his defense, he had majority democrat congress to put up with. The common thread with all 3 of them is that they all kept us safe.
The current person occupying WH is a disgrace in comparison to all 3 of those republicans.
No president or Republican or conservative is perfect, or completely vile, either. These people aren't gods, just men, doing what they can. Each failed in some ways, each succeeded in some, but there's a difference between all three and Carter and Obama. Those two see this country not as a great creation which needed a little fixing here and there, they see it as a horrible thing that somehow managed to get one or two things right, and their job as destroying it from within so it can be rebuilt according to a leftist blueprint that has failed every time it's been attempted.
The Bushes may not have been up to Reagan's level, nor was Reagan perfect, but they were so far ahead of the other two in terms of capability and love for country that it's not funny. Three were trying to steer the ship of state through troubled waters, the other two were trying to permanently ground it so they could start building a whole new vessel.
The difference was that Reagan was opposed to massive spending, while the Bushes, particularly GWB, was for spending, and spent like a drunken Democrat.
Again, they tore down the party Reagan had built up, and we are deeply suffering because of that.
While I am grateful they kept us safe, and they are far better than Obozo, we should never be content to settle for their “democrat-lite” approach again.
And any giddy anticipation of a Jeb Bush presidency is ludicrous in my opinion.
