lol. After Trump spanked the son/brother like a spoiled brat, I can understand why. I respect Dubya, but no love loss here.
We all did. What did we know? Certainly not the dirt on the Bush family with the CIA and Central America etc. I knew none of it. We were all Bush fans back then. I believed in the Iraq war! All the info I could find led me to believe it. I was wrong and I regret my support and all the kids who died for NOTHING, defending towns that are now in ISIS hands...
No matter how good Newt sounds any day, he WILL go off the tracks on another.
You are correct.
Goodbye losers!
Even if you don’t like Trump or even hate him, even if you are not a fan of Alex Jones or hate HIM, even if you are into the crazy NEVERTRUMP “thing” if you love America — the idea — and want it to be here for your kids and grand kids, PLEASE WATCH THIS INTERVIEW! The really important stuff starts around 2:27.
And please share it with any of the NEVERTRUMP people you know. We’re in what could well be the LAST DITCH in the fight for this country!

Wasn’t Bush43 basically banished from the 2008 convention because of the stink? Was he involved in 2012. I do not recall him appearing.
You know, that particular item could REALLY be used by Trump.
Not because he is so anti-abortion (he’s not), but to win black votes. Trump just has to point to some of Sanger’s writings to show what an incredible racist she was, show the association with that old scumbag, Prescott, and then say, “Oh, by the way, Prescott’s son and grandson refuse to endorse me...which I wear as a badge of honor.”
Maybe someone could find a way to get this to Trump or his campaign???
Since Bill is their “brother from another mother” Hillary is their sister-in-law.
GREAT NEWS!!!
I think Little Yebbie! successfully ruined the Bush clan dynasty!
Oops! Meant Carter! Let’s leave the dead to their rest.
“Amazing thanks for posting this reality: The last time the GOP won the Presidency without the Bush name on the ticket was 1972.”
But you might also consider that we LOST one election with a Bush attached (1992), which gave us Clinton the Philanderer and Clinton the Witch. The other Bush was so reviled by the population that we got 2 terms of Obama as the pushback.
I’d also argue that the only reason that the 1980 and 1984 elections were won was because of one Ronald Wilson Reagan, not his duplicitous Vice Presidential candidate; further, Bush 41 won in 1988 largely on campaign promises that made him look like Reagan’s 3rd term (which largely turned out to be a bunch of lies).
So, while you did point out an amazing fact, it doesn’t stand alone - there’s more to the Bushes than 5 election wins.
With every year that passes, George W does and says more and more to show me that he was never the man I thought he was. Not even close.
This is such a petty, cowardly thing to do, and so beneath the former presidents.
Certainly he was the chink in their armor. I expect great scandals from George P. Bush however. Something truly lurid. That is one unbalanced cholo.

There were millions of us.
Trump has ripped off and shredded the masks of the Bushco’s and the GOPe’s in congress and in control of the RNC.

I’m sure you did, I’m just messing with you. :>)
I’d like to believe that Nixon would actually back Trump. In his own day, he was quite anti-establishment. Of course, once in control he enjoyed the power of being “The Man,” but he was (like Trump) not much liked for the things he said and did. I remember how the press absolutely had a meltdown with the Christmas 1972 B-52 bombings of Hanoi and Haiphong Harbor - that was him being Trump-like, telling the military to totally mess up the Vietnamese to force them to the bargaining table - no PC crap, just bomb them to the Stone Age. Ditto in ‘73 with his gigantic airlift of military equipment to Israel, and his worldwide alert to stop Brezhnev from sending 7 airborne divisions to Syria - the press and media did NOT like that one bit.
