Do you really believe that those friendly to the Bush camp tried to kill Reagan? Mind you, anything other than a "Yes Or No" will be considered a "Yes".
Please reply.
That makes no sense to me. You make it sound like the "Bush Camp Commandos" wanted him President so bad they leaned on the Company and extracted an assassination attempt they were sure they could get away with.
Hardly. I've always read Wallaby's Hinkley thread as a noose around the Bush family neck, silly. It being THAT easy to frame -- with both fact and red herring innuendo -- the likes of the Bush family, even. Need I repeat what I said about the brains on the front burner? One the one hand, Neil can get off scott-free for Silverado whilst the hypocrite left screams in vain for 8 years about Whitewater. On the other, Reagan just happens to be shot at by the son of a Bush family friend. C'mon, Pardek. Get with the program. I don't call them Useful Idiots for nothing.
I think the three-term Bush tenure in the executive branch worked out splendid for all involved, actually.
I think there's something to be said for surviving an assassination attempt ... makes a person larger than life. While I think the Long-Range types bent on power are more rigid in their ultimate objective, they are not so rigid in their means ... truth is just as useful as lies, for instance.
