So glad he can attack Cruz while for 7 year Obama has been transforming the US Constitution and County to a third world state.

Ted Cruz could say ... I didn't leave the Republican Party. The Party left me.

“I just don’t like the guy,” Bush said Sunday night

Jorge Arbusto won't say anything against a Democrat, though. Like 0bama.

I've always known and accepted the fact that GW Bush was a moderate. For 7 years of Obama's presidency, Bush has never once uttered anything negative about Obama or his policies and feigned that he already had served and it wasn't his place to weigh in on Obama's policies or decisions.

In that 7 years, he has watched as Obama:
* passed Obamacare
* had the IRS illegally target conservatives
*refused to fire VA administrators or fix the fact that our veterans STILL aren't getting the healthcare they deserve
*wasted tens of billions on b.s. 'clean energy'
*opened our borders to a flood of illegal immigrants
*wasted the blood and treasure our military spent in Iraq
*has refused to call our enemies 'radical Islamist terrorists'
*has made us the universal laughing stock with his inept foreign policy
*has racially divided this nation like never before
*has turned his back on Israel and embraced Iraq and Russia

There are dozens more, but you get the drift….. In spite of all of these transgressions by Obama, Bush hasn't opened his pie hole ONCE!!!

BUT NOW HE CAN'T HOLD HIS TONGUE AND COMPLAINS ABOUT TED CRUZ???

Tell me, just WHY does Bush deserve to get one ounce of respect after he has attacked (of all people), Ted Cruz? All of the Bush clan can go to hell!!!

Why only George W. Bush? Daddy Bush was the first to cozy up to the left and he set the table for Clinton. His sons are just more of the same, IMO. How many Bush’s does it take before the American working class figure them out?

Cruz and GW have a history. I thought it was good .. but evidently, it wasn’t always.

Cruz was Solicitor General of TX while GW was Governor. There was bound to be some sort of friction .. since Cruz is such a strict Constitution person.

But, remember Cruz did work a little issue called Bush v. Gore .. before the Supreme Court, and WON. So, if Cruz had any issue with Bush at that time, he was ready to put it aside for the sake of the LAW.

It has been done...hence the rise of Trump and Carson. The Bush dynasty is OVER.

No, the GOP was hijacked with Bush I, when he merged with GOPDemElite, and this
cabal has remained in the cockpit through Clinton, Bush II, and Obama, 28 years. Trump
& Cruz are merely attempting to wrest it back to its rightful heirs.

LITERALLY the first day, and the GOP has never recovered.

The reason he did that was because he was running against Reagan for the nomination, but Reagan won it .. and to make peace within the party, he asked GHWB to be his VP.

I was not really excited about GHWB becoming President, but it was better than any DemocRAT.

Bush was Gov for 2 terms (I think), so Cruz might have been SG for only a few months before Bush got elected President.
I know Cruz did advise Bush during his campaign.

Ted Cruz, as Solicitor of Texas, fought and won a landmark ruling for U.S. sovereignty in Medellin v. Texas (Death penalty case of an illegal alien who raped and strangled 2 Texan girls) at the U.S. Supreme Court against 90 foreign nations and the President to ensure the supremacy of U.S. legal system against encroachment by international treaties and rulings of the “World Court.”

The U.S. President at that time was George W. Bush.

Cruz also won in the Medellin v Texas case in front of the U.S. Supremes. W and Condi wanted to give in to the U.N. World Court and forgo U.S. sovereignty and law. Medellin was an illegal who brutally raped and murdered two young Texas teens. caught and sentenced to death. while on death row the U.N. stepped in and stated that Texas hadn’t given the illegal Medellin an opportunity contact his Mexican consolate.

After helping with 2000 election recount, Ted Cruz worked at DOJ, then FTC before Greg Abbott asked him to be the Solicitor General of Texas.

Yes, he did advise Bush during the campaign and travelled with Bush in South Carolina before the primary there.

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

They did but not Cruz as Solicitor General of TX. That happened in 2003 after Bush was president.

Cruz did join the Bush Presidential Team in 1999 as an advisor and was intrumental
in the Bush V Gore Florida court case. He served as an associate deputy attorney general in
the U.S. Justice Department and as the director of policy planning at the U.S. Federal
Trade Commission.

So Cruz did have some contact with President Bush but I’m guessing it was limited after
the legal issues were settled.
