It has been nothing short of miraculous in this new season of Advent to hear all the Hosannas and applause for our recently departed former President George H.W. Bush.
In The New York Times, Mr. Bush was heralded for his uncommon grace.
The Washington Post called him a giant of a man.
The most kind and considerate person Ive ever known.
The most beautiful creature I had ever laid eyes on.
Not your typical remembrances from jaded politicos about mere mortals. Especially if that mortal happens to be a Republican politician.
Where were all these lofty accolades when Mr. Bush was alive? Where was all this love when he was president? Where was this towering regard for the man when he was losing his re-election campaign in 1992?
Oh, thats right. The press lies. And there is no time to lie about someone like once they are dead and no longer pose any threat.
When President Bush was alive and still a threat in politics, he was scorned and ridiculed by the press.
He was doddering and out-of-touch. Patrician, they called him. A buffoon who barfed in the lap of the Japanese prime minister during a state dinner.
Even in later years, long after Mr. Bush no longer posed any real threat, the press ran with ridiculous stories accusing Mr. Bush of being an iron sides groper. Yes, this would be the same man that the media sided against in 1992. To help elect Bill Clinton.

Peoples views change with time. What seemed on the line then doesnt seem important today.
What they once reviled, they grow to appreciate.

Thanks to George HW Bush, his adopted son, his real son, and the Kenyan from Indonesia, America feels like a foreign country.

I'm glad someone else figured that out.
That, and a bunch of Deep State thralls finally understand how he was the first admitted Republican Globalist Big-Government President, and did much to advance their cause.

Bush was pure evil disguised as “grace”.

Richards' keynote address to the 1988 Democratic National Convention put her in the national spotlight. The speech was highly critical of the Reagan Administration and then-Vice President George H. W. Bush. Her address was notable for including several humorous remarks displaying her down-home Texas charm such as: "I'm delighted to be here with you this evening, because after listening to George Bush all these years, I figured you needed to know what a real Texas accent sounds like", "Poor George, he can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth",[4] "

Coulter has pointed out that the longer a Republican president is out of office, the smarter and better he gets. And when hes safely dead he becomes almost a political saint.
Coulter is right(this time)
Obama and the Democrats loved to quote Reagan... when they were busy bashing Republicans. To listen to them you'd think Reagan was a Democratic president.

“Media’s love for George H.W. Bush more about hatred of Donald Trump”
Nah, not necessarily. They hated Bush when he was in office. Now that he is dead he is no longer a threat so that they can now say how wonderful he was.

Thanks for the correction.
Old Ann was a sweetheart, and she raised one too.

The Democrat Party media want all Republicans to be like George H. W. Bush.
Particularly Pres. Donald J. Trump.

They hated Bush when he was alive.He wasn’t the worst of presidents. He certainly wasn’t the best either. I voted for him.

Hey hated Caesar when he lived. When they murdered him he was an ‘’Honorable man’’ said his murderer. And its certainly true indeed that "Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue''.

They sure didn’t love him in ‘92.
To: Buckeye McFrog
No one went after George HW harder than Dan Rather and CBS. They accused Bush of everything from drug-running with Noriega to having a slew of extra marital affairs.
