“while ignoring that Bush was president when 911 happened”

One of the first executive orders that Bush enacted when he took office was one that banned profiling airline passengers.

Senator Spencer Abraham (R-Arab Immigrants) had been bitching about Bill Clinton’s policy that allowed airport personnel to screen passengers if they were worried about them.

Bush agreed with Spencer Abraham since on most issues he put Americans and their safety second; liberals usually do. And so on the morning of 9-11 the American Airlines ticket agent who was very suspicious of Mohamed Otta could do nothing about it, thanks to George Bush.

“Nothing wrong with proper measured legal immigration.”

Yeah, just look what it’s done for California. Oh, wait

The portrait of his feet would be more fitting at this time.
He will be needing these two appendages to get the
Hell out of town.
Like all swamp creatures, their habitat is being destroyed.

“At least, unlike Al “flunked out of divinity school” Gore, he got the motto right, “E Pluribus Unum”.”

But just like Gore he is a dunce who knows nothing about what the motto on the Great Seal means.

“Out of Many, One” is a reference to the 13 colonies forming a single country.

It had absolutely nothing to do with immigration.

The original 1776 design for the Great Seal featured shields of each of the 13 colonies with the motto E Pluribus Unum scrolled below.

Like how bad could Gore have really screwed this country up, huh? When a 2 party system offers no good choices, ya got to go with your gut... and have a barf bag handy.

“They only want us to vote for people dedicated to the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA)”

Bush was one of the Establishment Republicans who fought on the side of illegal aliens against the grassroots voters of California during the Prop 187 fight.

Jack Kemp and Bill Bennett were two others who chose Mexico’s invaders over beleagured Californians.

This was in 1994, so some of us in California were aware long before he ran for President that Bush jr was going to be no good. He was worse.

Dubya is personally responsible for ending the profiling of airline passangers.

His buddy Spencer Abraham was more concerned about the feelings of his fellow Arabs than he was airline security and Bush agreed with him.

The gate agent in Boston testified that he wanted to stop Mohamed Otta and have him checked but he couldn’t, because such profiling had become illegal.

Bush campaigned on the issue. The buck stops with him.

Otta is believed to have piloted the first plane that flew into the WTC.

“The Housing Crash had its roots under Clinton and his HUD buddy, Andrew Cuomo.”

It had its roots on Wall Street. The movie The Big Short is a very accurate description of what occurred.

Up until 2003 the housing cycle was still within normal parameters. Clinton was long gone.

It’s all the Bush-Clinton Political Dynasty, they are all on the same team, they only give the appearance of being different.

“Bush and Rove also had a program to fund down payments for low income folks who couldn’t qualify for mortgage loans. It was part of Roves Hispanic outreach.”

This was the American Dream Downpayment Initiative, which Bush promoted in 2002 and signed into law in 2003.

Regret to say we were certainly deceived by GWB, who certainly turned out to be a swampster in good standing with the Clintonand Obama’s.

I’m proud that I saw him for exactly what he was in 1999.

He was such a milk-toast wet towel, that he couldn’t beat
the likes of Al Gore convincingly.

New jobs went to 1% and change during his two terms in
office. For forty years it had been close to 18-19%.

Strange thing is, the same thing happened in his dad’s term
in office. I don’t think it was quite as bad, but it was
bad.

Those two dolts didn’t have one economic clue between them.

This is to signal his “woke” status for the illegals in the
U. S. He was always their president above our president.

DACA doodle Doooo fus...

He didn’t come up with it in name, but he was working his
ass off to get them legalized above our vehement objections.

Nothing hurts your cause more then a placeholder who doesn’t
even try to implement your agenda, while claiming to be
your (Conservative) leader.

Throw Obama in there as well. Bush has never complained once about Obama.

I foolishly supported Bush up through 2006. Once he pushed for amnesty, I was done

"immigrants" are different than illegals....I welcome the orderly acceptance of immigrants....I do not accept the uncontrolled mass mobs of people without money, without education, without regard to American laws....

we can not and must not accept people from stone age cultures and religions that think raping and attacking infidels is okay...

some countries accept no immigrants...some countries insist that you have money in the bank before moving there....some countries insist that you not have TB or Malaria or other diseases...

Imagine the gall of this guy to ask people to pay money for his ridiculous, amateurish paintings.

It shows the self-importance and arrogance of the guy. He’s thinking his paintings have some historical significance.
