” Not bad.”
Well, not good either. We deserved better than “W.” Problem was, he was the mini-$hit sanwich, both times he ran. He was only “marginally good,” because of his RAT competition. The Booshes have done their damnedest to undo everything that Ronald Reagan did to fix the country.
Very interesting. I didn’t know all that but it may be at least part of the explanation.
It is weird ... both 41 and 43 kinda love Clinton and 43 has kept his mouth shut while Obama blamed him for every disaster past, present and future.
I still like the Bushes but this has tempered my respect a little.
Cruz is a great man.
It does seem weird but I think I may know why. It’s easy to attack someone who you know won’t lower themselves to your level. They know what kind of guy Cruz is as they know him personally from the work on GWB’s campaign. Now attacking someone like Obama or the Clintons is a different story. There will be retaliation. I think the Bush’s have a few skeleton’s in their closets that they do not want revealed. They are afraid of the Clintons and Obama but they know Cruz is an honorable man.
I lost a lot of respect for Bush when he threw Scooter Libby under the bus.
bttt
Well a lot of women would not do that but men, most all of them would and have done that to each other. What I meant to convey though was not the grossness of the act but of the familiarity of the act. The two people in that video are like family and one of them is very obviously subservient to the other in my humble opinion. An action like that of Bush is one of a joke to a “buddy or brother.”
The 43rd president went on to add that he believed Cruz was an opportunist running for president for personal gain, unlike his sainted brother, who is a true public servant.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Thats a reach , Buahahahahaha . Jeb Bush is a traitor to the country and is in the pockets of the Saudis:
Read this:
***********************************************************
Daniel Hopsicker at Madcow has been doing some dogged work on the 9 11 terrorists for years, and while he remembers, all have forgotten.
There was an amusing situation though recently as he happened to ask Jeb Bush a question which stunned him as the above photos reveal.
All of this starts out in September 2001, when Jeb Bush was Governor, and terrorists had attacked America. What people have forgotten is that these terrorists trained in America. Two of the most notorious were the stripper Muslims, who were at strip clubs, had stripper girlfriends and were anything but Muslim zealots.
They resided in Venice Florida, and after the attack, the FBI swept in, and confiscated all of the police files and other material concerning the terrorists and others.
Jeb Bush’s stunned answer to the question ........
Oh this was the question as it went something like this, “Ah Jeb were you on a C 130 out of Florida, bound for DC the day after the attacks which was loaded with documents?â€
Jeb Bush about had a seizure over this question, and as he went from looking like a statue, to looking like a melting pile of slush, the sweaty Jeb blurted something about being at the Florida command center in keeping the state safe from...........apparent invasion, as Jeb was there standing alone against 6 billion invaders as they were all coming through Florida....or at least that is what the response sounded like.
Then Jeb said.......that was a weird question.......went onto another question......and then came back to it and said.......that was a weird question.
The problem is, that there are claims from two witnesses in the story, one a police officer who was there when the “FBI†was unloading police files from the department, and stating Jeb was onboard that C 130......and the other was the pilot who said Jeb was on that flight.
Now the reality is, that those files never appeared at the FBI headquarters. They instead appeared at CIA headquarters and have disappeared.
The question is, why would Jeb Bush be lying about where he was.....sort of like his old man disappeared the day John Kennedy was assassinated, and was briefed days later by FBI Director, J. Edgar Hoover, who in his personal notes stated that he briefed two men, and one was a CIA operative named George Bush.
Let me explain this, so this starts making sense. George H. W. Bush, was a known CIA asset as early as the late 1950’s. He rose to head the CIA in the 1970’s. During the “Bush41†years, his main spoke in the Southern Command was his son, Jeb Bush in Florida.
This was a loose associative group working for President Reagan overtly, but covertly this was Vice President Bush’s operational structure in West Indian operations.
This is the group which oversaw the drugs for guns shipments in the Contra conflicts, and their main military go was Lt. Col. Oliver North. This was like all things CIA. The CIA was the front while other sub operational groups were in control, and provided the CIA with plausible deniability.
As this transformed from Bush41 to Bush43, we had a scenario developing that there was a Jamie Gorelick and Al Gore operation running in America which was compartmentalized, Saudi funded, and linked to the entire Bush Mideastern bin Laden intertwine, and a major component of it, was running under Governor Jeb Bush’s nose.
Ooopppsss.
That kind of problem destroys political careers who are being promoted to be President in 2016. So when all the documents are removed under the cover it is FBI, when it is really CIA and a big NSA “above black†is stamped on it.........a Jeb Bush is not going to take the chance of someone happening along from some other sub operational group, getting their hands on that information.
People can believe or deny, come up with the constant demands for sources or the excuses that anyone can say something, but none of that denies the reality that Jeb Bush was Governor of a state, where as chief law enforcement officer, he was responsible for that State’s security, and he had living, training, raising hell with strippers, terrorists who were training to complete the most spectacular crime in the modern age.
Jeb Bush with all of his connections, with all of his contacts, with all of that Saudi intelligence and money, somehow missed the followers of the most wanted terrorist in the world, in his State.
Perhaps that is the kind of question which should be asked of Jeb Bush. His brother, George W. Bush has been damned by his detractors for not knowing, but maybe if Jeb Bush had been doing his intelligence asset job, instead of covering up for his family of criminals in Columba the smuggler, Jorge the stalker, Noelle the doper and Junior the sex fiend, America might have been spared 9 11, as probably a phone call to President George W. Bush from his brother about terrorists training to fly planes, would have gotten through the Gorelick Gore walls of separation hiding all of this.
Jeb Bush from the above story, was hiding something and was connected to it. The greater question in this is, why did Jeb Bush not inform his brother of what was taking place in Florida, which demanded a C 130 to haul the evidence out, after 9 11?
I do not believe that Bush43 was covering anything up. This was a sucking up of intelligence as Bush Cheney knew there were nuclear bombs planted in America, and that is what this gathering of evidence was about, not about protecting what Jeb knew and when he knew it.
It was convenient afterwards to cover up the intelligence operations involved, and thereby protect Jeb Bush, as you did notice that none of the intelligence Mockingbird assets ever wrote of Venice Florida, and no one ever in George Soros attacks ever planted a story linking the brother of the President to the 9 11 attackers.
That was too ripe of gotcha, and for that never to have been taken up, considering all the garbage Capitol Hill Blue spewed out to the Powell Armitage set up of Plamegate to get Cheney to install Powell as Vice President, the real powers wanted everything in Florida vacuumed up, and it was so important this was shut down, that Jeb Bush’s name was never linked to it for political gain.
That is the connect the dots which is damning. It is not a story about Jeb Bush on a C 130, as the absolute in this is, terrorists were operational in Florida under Jeb Bush’s watch, and the none of the anti Bush forces ever touched it.
The Kennedys are dead, thanks to the passing of Ted.
Clinton Inc dies with Bill
Okay, I understand what you are saying. It really looked gross.
“I frankly did not like Cruz at first. A personality thing, at least how he comes across on television.
The more I find out about him though, the more I like him. That the Bushes don’t like him is extra points, IMO.”
There is actually quite a bit more to Cruz’s relationship with the Bushes. George P. (Jeb’s son) became good friends with Cruz sometime I think when he was solicitor general and introduced Cruz to his grandpa (George HWB) at a meeting up in Maine. George HWB wanted to support Cruz in a planned run for Texas attorney general (which ultimately did not materialize), but Rove stepped in and told Cruz not to pursue his endorsement. When Cruz laid out these details in his book this past summer, Rove denied the entire incident — then Cruz released the emails proving Rove to be a liar.
So yeah, the relationship between Cruz and the Bushes is...complicated.
“So yeah, the relationship between Cruz and the Bushes is...complicated.”
If I were Cruz, I’d amputate. He is certainly justified in doing so.
The fact that two Bushes, Clinton and Obama are among the 45 only shows how stupid a majority of voters are on any given election day.
By mama Bush’s words Clinton is their defacto son in law. Give GW his credit for service in WWII but it was hyped to be much more than pilots who actually lost their lives. My brother was killed on Okinawa and I served on Leyte and I take our service to be even more than Papa Bush. Ground fighting is hell that none of he Bush’s wanted any part of.
I took your advice and Googled the Cheney’s remarks re Scooter Libby. Now I’m steamed all over again. For a man who received immeasurable grace when he gave his heart to the Lord, GWB doesn’t seem to be able to extend much grace to others.
I read W’s book a couple years ago, and thought overall it was a good accounting of the decisions (points) he had to make in his administration, but after, gave the book away to someone else, as often is the case, so don’t have it to reference here. I do recall that his defense of his Scooter Libby decision was rather lame and not convincing to me. As Ted Cruz said in his book of recent (and I paraphrase), he (Ted) looks to every decision as increasing competition and competitive forces, for the good of society. In a similar vein, I believe GW should have looked to doing what is “forks-in-the-eyes” of the partisan opposition, and gave Scooter a FULL pardon, as was merited and deserved. It was BS that Libby got saddled with his ultimate non-involvement, considering all the circumstances (e.g. State Department involvement), and unfortunately for him (Scooter), Bush didn’t push back nearly hard enough, despite Cheney’s advocacy. So much so, that I lost a lot of respect for him. At least, I though, he had some dignity after his administration (keeping us safe after 911 and all). After his lame excuses in his book related to that affair, I lost even that notion and excuse. Sorry George!
