The Bushes are elitist New Englanders, one of whom was pretty good at adopting a Texas accent to get elected. The latter was fairly conservative as a Governor but shed those trappings as President and gave us Homeland Security and two wars. The former gave us the original middle-eastern war an importation ban on assault weapons and Bill Clinton. The first time I ever heard the phrase "New World Order" was about the time Bush I was up for re-election.
I voted for Dubya twice and his daddy once. Perot convinced me to throw my vote away on Bush's second bid, thus insuring Clinton's election.
IMO they're both worthless. The guy who's in the Whitehouse now, you know, the one with all the "firsts"...first gay President, first illegal alien President, first President not legally qualified to hold office, first Muslim President, etc. is much, much worse than either, but it's like saying I got a lot better grade on this test than you did, when you got a 2% and I got a 30. Absolutely and positively the truth while neither grade even approaches passing.
Sr. doubled the national debt and Dubya doubled it again, both before the Arab did.
Bush 41 was a POS neocon who voted for gun control. Worse, he became a traitor when he stabbed Reagan in the back in favor of Gorby. He was a definite one-world-government proponent. He didn't lose because he raised taxes. He lost because of his new-world-order, which was code for one-world-government. I'm saddened to write that I voted for that neocon in'88. Hell, not even Reagan trusted him.
GHWB gave us eight years of Clinton GWB gave us eight years of Obama Hell of a family legacy.

no, dumbphuck liberal voters gave us Clinton and Obama.
and the fact that either of those commies can get a majority of our electorate to the polls tells you what a fantasy it is to think a more right wing candidate could have defeated either one.
you don't vote for an Obama one day and then just have a freaking ephiphany and become a right winger.....these people are hopeless. and when it all falls down around them their solution will be.....more socialism. it always is.
GHWB's biggest problem was that he treated and dealt with other people as if they were gentlemen like he is.....it never got through to him until too late that the democrat thugs who ran Congress were no gentlemen....or in Patsy Schroeder's case, gentledykes.

They can mock the Bush family all they want, as they attempt to make loud enough noise to drown out how stupid Bill Clinton, Geithner and Obama are.
Nobody's mocking anyone. I've merely told the truth. Bush 41 was a gun grabbing neocon who tried to shove one-world-government down our throats; not to mention that fact that Reagan never trusted the traitor.

so you'd have rather had Dukakis, Clinton, Gore, and Kerry?
it ain't a choice between your fantasy candidate and Bush...in the real world those were the choices. and BTW neither of the Bushes is elitist in the sense that they look down on other people, both are extremely down to earth normal guys who do normal guy stuff when they can. GHWB couldn't help it if he was a Senator's son....and that didn't help him much when he was an 18 year old carrier pilot either.

Liberals such as Miles ought to know what a dangerous president Bush 41 was.
No liberal here and you did not answer my question. Are you Raisinhead with a new handle? Bush 41 was not near as dangerous as the one we have now and the world was a much better place back when he was President. At the time, he was the best man running and if he had beat Clinton the Democrats would not be as powerful as they currently are. My thoughts. YMMV miles

Miles, you might fight to deny it, but you are a classic liberal democrat. You just can't pull the horsepower to figure it out.
He was my Commander in Chief and I will give him all the respect he earned from that position and a little more just for being a good man.
That's where it's at for me as well.
Bush 41 propagandized you into risking your life if order to preserve his homies, the Kuwaiti Royal Family's five trillion dollar net worth. Americans wanted no part of war with Iraq. Bush 41 duped Americans in to it. Pat Buchanan led the vanguard that Bush 41 was lying to Americans.
Americans wanted no part of a war that was none of our damned business. Bush 41 was perfectly willing to sacrifice your life in order to take care of his Kuwaiti homies.

You are so far off base it is laughable. I see that you are ashamed to answer the question so I will take it as a yes that you are Raisinhead re-incarnated. miles
