Bush 41 - one of the greatest Presidents in our lifetimePosted By Darian Rachal |
Do you have a problem with the election procedure for President?Originally Posted by Russ CarrollThe many stories and reflections offered about Pres Bush 41 are a stark reminder of how small, undeserving, and inadequate Donald Trump is to hold the office of President.

Russ, I may be mistaken, but I think Bush would have been reelected if Perot had not entered the race.Originally Posted by Russ CarrollDarian, I'm only sad about the outcome. Remember, GHWB was run out of town and denied a second term in the same way that Trump got elected - the voters. Yes, they make the wrong decisions on occasion, such as electing Obama.
Richard, I voted for GHWB twice, and GWB twice. I am an actual conservative, not a Trump lemming.

Certainly an appropriate description of Obama; a totally worthless President who accomplished nothing worthwhile in 8 years.Originally Posted by Russ Carroll
Totally agree. The voters got it wrong IMO. Perot and Buchanan were a foreshadowing of Trump - populist "know-it-all's" that talked a good game and basically build a mob, but had little substance, and certainly no business being President. i don't question their sincerity or right to run; just voters judgement that backed them.

Richard, you may be correct on that. I just always assumed Perot was the problem. I guess someone could do a detailed analysis of voting patterns by Dems/Republicans in each state to see how it affected the final electoral vote count. Nevertheless, Bush reneging on his no tax pledge certainly hurt him. I think it may have been about this time that I switched from the Republican Party to Independent. IIRC, the Republicans held both Houses and the White House. I saw no indication that an effort was being made to move the country in a decidedly conservative direction.Originally Posted by Richard Davis
Hi Darian,
I don't think Bush could have won even if Ross Perot hadn't been in the race. When Bush reneged on his no new taxes pledge, he lost a good portion of his base IMO, even though the First Gulf War was such a massive success.
I went back and looked at the figures and it appears that about(?) of the supporters of Ross Perot were Democrats, believe it or not.
Perot got around 19% of the popular vote, while Bush had about 37%. Clinton had around 46%.
I think even if 2/3 of the Perot vote were Republicans, he couldn't have made up the difference in overtaking Clinton.
My guess is that Clinton still would have squeaked by.
And of course today, we hear these frauds on the left who claim to be reporters, act as if they had one ounce of Respect for George H.W. Bush, when in fact they treated him with the same disrespect that they treat Every single Republican President, with disdain, mockery, and hatefulness.
It would take a class act and a person with a modicum of decency NOT to bash Donald Trump during a week when a Former President is laid to rest.
Instead one can turn on CNN and MSNBC and see the most classless individuals of all, the leftist media USE George H.W. Bush's death to bash Trump. Laura Ingraham spoke about it on her show tonight.
As she stated "At some point you don't even know what to say to these people. They lack all sense of decency. They reduce a Presidential Death to just a political battering ram, like any other issue".
It is pretty sad, but I guess when every issue revolves around hating a person, this is what you get.
The OP proved that.

I hear that her (book?) tour with Bill isn't doing too well. Also, the Clinton Foundation is drying up. It's sad.Originally Posted by Richard Davis
Well then, since you voted for her, here's something you'll really like.

Russ, is this the "incitement" you are referring to? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kxG8uJUsWUOriginally Posted by Russ CarrollIronically, what Goodyear was convicted of was inciting a bunch of hackers to attack a private server...kinda like Trump inciting the Russians to go after the DNC server)

Actually, the answer is quite simple Russ. You have a much better opinion of the Democrat Party than Trump supporters.Originally Posted by Russ Carroll
Probably your best post ever.
Here is the serial liar-in-chief. Nobody can claim ignorance about what an awful human being we have leading the executive branch. My only question is why don't you care?

Just a sample of this vermin contradicting himself:
"TRUMP: "Our Southern Border is now Secure and will remain that way." — tweet Tuesday.
TRUMP: "We need border security. People are pouring into our country, including terrorists. We have terrorists. But we caught 10 terrorists. These are over the last very short period of time — 10. These are very serious people." — statement in Oval Office meeting.
THE FACTS: Trump contradicted himself, declaring the border secure and insecure on the same day. And Trump is wrong about the government recently catching 10 terrorists."

Mel, I suspect that in the general population pedophilia is primarily directed toward young girls by disordered heterosexual males. In these church cases, I wonder if perhaps the opposite is true; that most of these abuse situations have been directed toward young males by priests with homosexual inclinations? This aspect, if true, doesn't seem to be mentioned in most of the reporting on the matter.Originally Posted by Mel Maki
Years ago I was watching a CNN debate about the scandal. The church defender claimed the percentage of pedophiles is the same in the priesthood as it is in the general population. Seem possible?
