Bush stoically turns the other cheek to his leftist tormentors — literally goes years without saying a bad word about them — but then can’t help himself from badmouthing Cruz. It’s weird.

He’s a ‘globalist’ - International Socialist’. That’s why.

Yet at the time of the appointment of John Roberts, Ted Cruz was a personal friend of John Roberts, wrote a strongly positive piece about him ... said that both John Roberts and the man who appointed him, George W. Bush, were strong, dependable conservatives."

So what? This was before John Roberts defected to the dark side. Are we supposed to dismiss what Benedict Arnold did because he was once a pretty decent field commander and friend to George Washington? Even the greatest president in our history made a poor command decision by putting Arnold in charge of West Point and he'd be the first to admit it.

Not really. Unless you attribute the Bush family with honest values, and not an intention of purpose, against Our United States of America.

...

I voted for W in 2000, but about six months into his term I could see that he adored his fellow political elites in both parties, and that he considered regular Americans to be an annoyance unless they were in the military. I took flak for pointing it out then, but as more people see the same, not so much.

The GOP's enemies are not the Left or even the Democrats; the enemies of the GOP are Conservatives.

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.
