George W. Bush Claims There's 'Clear Evidence' Russia Interfered in Presidential Election
townhall.com ^ | 2/8/2018 | Lauretta Brown

Former president George W. Bush said that “there’s pretty clear evidence that the Russians meddled” in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, during a speech in Abu Dhabi Thursday.

“Whether they affected the outcome is another question,” Bush added.

He called it “problematic” that “a foreign nation is involved in our election system. Our democracy is only as good as people trust the results.”

“He’s got a chip on his shoulder,” Bush said about Putin. “The reason he does is because of the demise of the Soviet Union troubles him. Therefore, much of his moves (are) to regain Soviet hegemony.”

The former president went on to emphasize the importance of NATO and U.S. alliances around the world, claiming Putin “is pushing, constantly pushing, probing weaknesses.”

Every legitimate news organization and publisher used to run everything by somebody to ensure that they weren’t making stupid errors.

Language is important, and allowing the left to trash ours cannot possibly turn out well.

Remember “Newspeak?”

“I still think he was a good wartime president but other than that a one world government loser.”

He was good at getting us into war.

A lot of us did. Unfortunately, the alternative was a worse poison.

Indeed— that ain’t all this bush leaguer said— he said americans should welcome illegals, because americans don’t want to pick cotton in 105 degree weather. Another freeper post on this same speech’s content.

Stupid beyond all concept. And today Paul Ryan says he want’s to help DACA. The chamber of commerce uniparty of cheap labor express.

No illegals? Americans could apply for more minimum wage jobs, and the minimum wage per hour would come down. But no— each side has reason to want illegals- dhims for new idiot voters on welfare, and repubs for “not cheap” labor. Their handlers tell them this. Even the unions do.... holy crap.

OK, bush, then here it is.
You are stupid. Your mind cannot deal with complex thoughts. You are not even as smart as bammy. You really blew it when you invaded Iraq. You destabilized the country, toppling a strong regime that kept the m*slims from blowing the place apart and killing everyone around. This allowed radical m*slims to gain strength, and, during bammy’s term, to form islamic state with bammy’s full tacit approval.
You are not conservative. You promised a wall, and never had any intention of building it.
In short, keep your stupid mouth shut.

I still think he was a good wartime president but other than that a one world government loser.

That's pretty much my take as well. GWB has always been a one-world no-borders immigration nut, and he never hid that. He was no ideal choice but he was the choice the voters were given - that election was a perfect distillation of just how far the globalist establishment had succeeded in arranging a national election such that only its candidates were available. We were nearly given a similar choice in Hillary vs. Jeb. Heads I win, tails you lose.

I would not think that Dubya has a great deal of credibility when it comes to masterly intelligence analysis, though. That dog not only didn't hunt, it laid down on the porch, started wheezing, and died.

“Iran the number one terrorist country in the world, US CIA and State”

And the genius Bush decides to take out the only counterbalance...Iraq.

but no one is able to state just what the “evidence” is. I don’t see any that tells me Russia did anything other than stir the waters on the Republican side. I see mounds of evidence that tells me they did play footsie with the Clinton campaign.

To me, it looks like Russia has succeeded without lifting a finger. What is their goal? To weaken the US. They know they cannot affect our military. However, they can weaken the nation by sowing confusion, discord, mistrust, hate, angst, division, etc. This, of course, has happened - in spades - and prime movers are the democrats, the liberals amongst us.
The Russians are smiling as they raise their glasses of vodka to toast their victory. They have weakened the US in the only way possible.

Heard Rush mention this, just thought I'd join the chorus of those sorry to have once supported the guy. Even spent my owm money to attend his inauguration.

Only consolation is that he was better than the alternative.

Hey Bush you idiot.

Explain just how the Russians affected the election.

Why would they want Trump in office since they bought and paid for Hillary.

Fall down on your knees George and Beg God’s forgiveness for the hundreds of thousand you killed in a phony war, while you were kissey kissey with the Saudi King that was responsible.
