9 out 10 libtards praising GHWB now viciously attacked him for daring to run effective ads against Mike Dukakis.

I recall that I voted for Ross Perot in the Tennessee primary. He quit his campaign five, six month later and after that he decides that he was going to run after all. So I said to myself if he can't make up his mind I'm not going to vote for him and I didn't. I voted naturally for President George Herbert Walker Bush.

It it hadn't been for Perot there is no doubt in my mind that Bush 41 would have been reelected.

"He quit his campaign five, six month later and after that he decides that he was going to run after all."

Yes, it proved he wasn't serious. Also when people saw Admiral Stockdale in the debates, a once proud great Naval aviator reduced to a befuddled old man people en masse made up their minds this was not a serious ticket. Even with all of that he still ended up with 19 million votes and almost 19% of the vote. If he was serious, he would have easily won. If he never entered, Bush would have easily won re-election.

I didn't vote for Bush because he was a country clubber and couldn't be counted upon. Looking back, it was better to have a country club Republican than Bill Clinton. Though I will admit one thing, Clinton did do some good things such as the original NAFTA (yes the original deal was good for America even though it needed updated), welfare reform and some other things he worked with in the Newt Gingrich Congress. I think Clinton would have even been more of a centrist except for his wife.

That’s absolutely appropriate.

The problem is, he wasn’t appearing to be changing status from the reports. He was just doing his normal day to day survival, and took a turn in the afternoon and was gone later that day.

He said he’s glad President Bush 41 is dead.

He was being a real jerk. I mean, I don’t care for some of Bush’s policies (such as the tax raise), but I’m not glad he died. he was a human being like everyone else.

I can’t get past that he voted for Hillary. Maybe that’s why the hypocractical media is heaping false praise against a man they all hated.
