It was harsh.
I don’t know so much that I regret saying it...but I’ll consider regretting it :)
He did fight in WWII
But come on man he HATED Reagan. That’s just the truth.
HE was the one who invented the term “voodoo economics” during the primaries.
Also very good friends with the parents of the guy who tried to kill Bush, or so the rumors swirl. :)
Not too sure about the last one!! :)
And McCain fought in Vietnam, and Kerry was in Vietnam too, or so I hear.

I am not a great fan of Bush 41.
I admired his service in WWII and as his service as a bureaucrat.
You’re right, that his brand of milquetoast politics was not helpful. He didn’t believe in Reagan’s supply-side economics and was a believer in the “New World Order” whereby the public was reduced to peasants to be ruled over by the elites.
He was part of the “nice” cabal, who would never deign to get dirty in politics. The democRATS in congress ate his lunch repeatedly.
Bush 41 certainly screwed the pooch in Iraq by not finishing the job with Hussein. To a degree that was Colin Powell, but Bush should have over-ruled him and drove into Baghdad.
I think to a large degree that the failures of both Bush 41 & 43 were their unwillingness to do the dirty work needed to get the job finished either militarily or politically.
You and I are more hard-scrabble types where we got to where we are by the sweat of our brows, and the blood on our knuckles.
