Ex-President George W. Bush rips wisdom of Barack Obama, Sarah Palin and John McCain to friends

New York Daily News ^

[Clyde5445]

If this is true or I don’t know but Bush made similar comments when Sarah was nominated and when he was up in AK on a refueling stop before going to China when he was Pres. Of course they were denied by Perino but I think Bush felt this way even if he was “joking”.

Now Sarah was not to keen on Bush’s domestic policies and she has said so. Truth be told Sarah is no fan of Bush’s brand of politics.

The only exception is the War on Terror where most of us on our side supported Bush. Sarah did so as well.

[Psalm 144]

I don’t know what GW may or may not have said but this unsourced article smacks of .... Karl Rove.

*************************

Yes it does. I am not - and never was - very impressed with Bush, but he is due the opportunity to affirm or deny this anonymous hearsay, for that is what it is - anonymous hearsay.

Wasn't there some kind of primary funny business which contributed to McCain being selected?

The RINO leadership has been pushing "open primaries" so that the Democrats can pick our candidates. They think that means the leftists might vote for the people who will help them hand out favors from the public purse. The left took immediate advantage in helping advance McCain. It cost Hillary! the nomination, but it gained them the current stooge in the Oval Office.

Our principal goals of the next two years is to fix the primary and electoral process:

1. Purge the GOP leadership of RINOs and money chasers and replace them with people capable of thinking.
2. Confine the voter rolls to legitimate citizens and constrain the balloting process to only one vote per person.
3. Get rid of the open primary.

Best we get cracking, else none of it will happen. Even tolerating this kind of "Tea Parties lost the Senate" crap, much less the absolute silence about so much ballot fraud tells us in no uncertain terms what we are up against: People who value wining and dining with corporate donors for big checks. It makes them look good and it makes the consultants happy with whom they strategize in order to look like they have ideas.

I smell made up quotes and grade A baloney.

Sorta smells like a “book sales” promotion to me. Quotes from an unnamed source familiar with “Bush’s thinking” sounds like lower than expected book orders.

No more Bushes ! No more establishment bearers !

[Psalm 144]

GW sounds like he has been toking on Barry’s pipe.

We are on our third administration in a row of substance abuser presidents. The results are showing, are they not?

W apparently finds it abhorrent to speak out in any manner against a Marxist from the other party in the White House,
______________________

Exactly, and I’ll tell you what, he’s really starting to piss me off. Clinton is out there bashing every Republican he can think of, and we have Meagan McPain doing the same. Lara Bush coming out of the closet and showing her liberal views. Bush acting like a complete wussy and afraid to say anything. Piss on them. They all make me sick lately. Including Carl Rove who can go to hell.

[paudio]

Personally I will interpret silence as assent.

Not in the case with the Bushes, both father and son. Especially the son. Despite what the liberals said about him, in general he keeps quiet, leaving people guess what's in his mind.

[mojitojoe]

If he does not quickly deny these charges... then Bush said it.

I agree and I’m not sure he didn’t say it.

[personalaccts]

It’s the ruling class mentality. Palin and DeMint have to fix W’s screw up of signing those spending bills

[samtheman]

God help me, but on this point I actually agree with Jesse Jackass. Both Bush presidencies eventually turned out to be disasters, though not nearly as much of a disaster as Obama.

I see no reason to believe that Jebbie-boy will be any different.

You are so right.

[samtheman]

” Republican official familiar with Bush’s thinking told the Daily News.”

Yeah, right.

A media official familiar with the New York Daily News said reporters there eat puppies and rape goats in the basement.

The Goebbel’s propagandists are slipping into comedy.

You nailed it!

>> Wasn’t there some kind of primary funny business which contributed to McCain being selected? <<

Yes, by all means. It was the endorsement of McCain by Florida’s “Republican” Governor Crist that put McCain in a commanding lead and caused Romney to withdraw. I believe Crist had been counted as a Rudy supporter before then. At any rate, the race was all over after McCain won the FL primary on the back of Charlie’s endorsement.

(Reports at the time indicated Crist had meglomaniacal visions of grandeur, seeing himself as a potential VP candidate. He may have refused to back Rudy, Romney or Huck when none of them would commit to selecting Charlie as running mate. But I guess we’ll have to wait for Rudy’s, Romney’s and Huck’s memoirs to learn the true inside stories.)

[mojitojoe]

hey should have blitzkrieged all the way to Baghdad, and hung Saddam from the nearest lamppost. Instead, Bush I listened to that disloyal RINO, Colin Powell, and backed off.

Obama didn’t seem particularly upset with the losses in Congress.

Look at the photos of him during the post election press conference. I disagree, I think he’s taking it very hard. Narcissists can’t take rejection.

[Psalm 144]

“If this is true... then I will sever all ties to the republican party and the Bush family forever.”

That would be reasonable. BUT, Bush II should have the opportunity to deny this unsourced, anonymous hearsay. If he remains silent about it, I will take that as an affirmation.

I expect he will completely deny it however and it is not his style. He tended to err in praising people who were unworthy, rather than trashing people who were decent.

[John S Mosby]

I tend to regard Rove, much like Dick Morris (he of the “toe sucking” prostitute scandal, now long forgotten and the paid minion of the Clintons). While a useful tell all from the clinton nightmare, Morris found a way to market himself. Rove is trying to do the same. As for his political genius, there may be something there, but nothing like the tragic Lee Atwater, who was a Reagan man that got GHWB elected, and might have gotten him re-elected. The internet allows one with a little time, to check out the recent history the TV watching dumbass public tends to forget. Rove has his own history and is trying to find a place in the discussion. This isn’t Bush, but it might be his one time mouthpiece.

[angcat]

“Naming Palin makes Bush think less of McCain as a man,” a Republican official familiar with Bush's thinking told the Daily News.

Let's see “someone familiar with Bush's thinking” sounds like bull to me and it sounds like liberals trying to cause havoc in our party.

[LibLieSlayer]

I pray that he didn’t say it. Silence will be damning however. Let’s hope he makes comment on it today.
