Barbara Bush to Palin: Stay in Alaska
CNN ^ | Saturday, November 20, 2010

Posted on 11/20/2010 8:38:20 AM PST by kristinn

Sarah Palin may not have the biggest fan in former first lady Barbara Bush.

"I sat next to her once. Thought she was beautiful," Barbara Bush said. "And she's very happy in Alaska, and I hope she'll stay there."

Bush, along with her husband, former President George H.W. Bush, spoke to CNN's Larry King in an interview set to air Monday.

It’s a shame that remark wasn’t aired properly.

Both Bushes, Clinton, and Obama were pushed on the USA by the international cabal that wants a New World Order. Think of Soros and his ilk.

The hatred of Sarah Palin comes down to the fact that Sarah is truly pro-life.Go Sarah Go!

He lost my respect when he allowed Terri Schiavo to be murdered. He is also another moderate masquerading as a conservative. I would never vote for a Bush family member again. I wish I could take back some of my previous votes.

I save my scorn for George I and George II, and their political spawn Bill and Obama.

This story is already spreading like wild fire like I said it would. I just surveyed some sites I post at and all the lefties are already pouncing on this.

Damn I hate bushes and those who support them. And, yes, the people on this site who still act like fawning children over this horrible family are the same as the worst of the obama worshippers.

I sat next to her once...

How long ago? If it was before McCain selected Sarah as VP it could be the media just trying to stir up trouble in the Republican party.

The Elitist Bush Family, (RINO'S ONE AND ALL)can go back to their luxury cave and stay there. Will never ever vote for another Bush that pretends to run as a Conservative.
Any Bush Period.
I will leave Mama B and the rest of the Bush's to their own devices and their surrogate son Bill Clinton.

Yes, the daughter Barbara (or granddaughter), is lovely. The elder Barbara does look like the Quaker Oats guy. (I almost wet my pants ( I mean underpants, as I am in the basement posting on the Internet) with the first comment about Quaker Oats. VERY FUNNY.

The whole Bush family has been sucking at the public tit for a long long time. From Prescott on, they have built their fortunes at the public trough. And it is no secret in Houston that the Bush folks will be happy to be on your company board, for a price, so they can use their connections and "help" you. And old Babs is well known for pushing Neil Bushes Ignite garbage on schools. Ignite makes big bucks off of "No Child Left Behind" by the way.

The Bush family are really nice people if you ever meet them but don't be fooled. The are as bad as the Obama's when it comes to getting their "due".

Lighten up. The older Bushes are, well, old. They are very much a part of the old establishment and are very safe and comfortable in their lives, just the way they are, untouched by the diminished freedoms and opportunities that are confronting the rest of the country. They probably see Sarah Palin and the Tea Party as more of a threat to their way of life than Obama because they are old enough and rich enough that nothing Obama is doing is going to bother them.

Palin and the Tea Party, on the other hand, threatens to unseat their friends and family members and while diminishing and rejecting their political ideology.

We should all just smile and say that we can understand why Barbara would feel that way, but the rest of the country disagrees.

Barbara Pierce Bush was born in Flushing Queens.

I doubt that.

Answers.com:

Not sure why she was born in Queens and yet raised in Rye, but there are various other sources that also say the same thing.

Nah. If she were one of them, treatment from the establishment and it’s media would have been far different. McCain drew Gov Palin in order to attempt to make Conservatives happy and hide his own inadequacies.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

But could she be have been conjured by the cabal to create this seemingly conservative candidate that would still do their bidding?

There’s too much positive exposure for her (granted, along with all the negative). It’s coming a little too easy and it makes me nervous. She was McCain’s choice, the Republican establishment’s choice.

Something doesn’t smell quite right.

Do you know anything about Rye? It’s something of a rarified place, very expensive.

"Their unfair treatment of her has innoculated her against anything, fair or unfair, they might throw at her during the primary campaign."

Exactly! The Rats and their media activists will attack the GOP nominee and are just waiting for Mittens and Huckster.

With Sarah, they have shot their wad and have nothing left except to attack her children...which they are doing with a vengace. They will fail.

So Sarah is not only our best conservative candidate but also the least vulnerable...and the Rats and media know it.

I completely forgot about that.

I've already written off the Bushes for the foreseeable future. Probably why what any of the say have no impact.

I can't begin to count the times I had to change the channel because of those annoying Clinton-Bush "PSA"s.

Barbara’s comments were her way of demeaning Palin. Babs is calling Palin an attractive woman, but dumb - that’s what she is trying to infer.

There really seems to be lot’s of people of every political persuasion who are afraid of Palin, lol. Good.
