I'm familiar with the term but not its use then, aside from the obvious.

to invoke the 7-year CIA rule

What does that mean?

President Bush-41 has given me my best memories.
1. My all-time favorite is "voodoo" economics.
2. "Read my lips" is right up there--Bidenesque.
3. Praying he would live every day with Dan Quayle waiting in the wings.
4. Lee Atwater/Willie Horton.
5. a thousand points of life--and a great foundation--which Bubba kept going but didn't get the UFO info from GHWB like Carter did.
6. the Iran hostage connection--the old CIA director.
7. The USA Flag guy.

sure wish I could remember that secret government he formed in the 1950s-
didn't realize how many were Bilderbergs--Kissinger, Colin Powell, Condi Rice-

The old man had the finest resume of anyone who has ever run for president in the modern age and was a brilliant businessman but his lackluster 92 campaign stuck us with Clinton (which in turn gave the GOP the congress-hmmm). W was far clearer in his goals. Jeb I haven't seen enough of nor GP to really rate them

Apparently their key component died during that time. Apparently Lee Atwater was running lots of Republican campaigns at the time. I think he was an extremely aggressive campaigner.

No, not really. It's not hackish to point that out.

Pretty ironic accusation coming from Mr. "Left-libertarians are just Democrats with a gun rack."

That's actually pretty funny. :lamo

George HW Bush. I think he was the smartest of the bunch, although I don't know much about P (the young one). HW had an impressive record of service in this country.

Jeb seemed to be a good governor.
 
Re: Your Favourite of the Bush-Family

None of the above.

I was too young when George H.W. Bush was president to have much of an idea of what he was like. George W. Bush was a mediocre president at best. I haven't paid much attention to Jeb Bush, because I don't live in Florida. George P. Bush isn't enough of a public figure that I'd have paid attention to him.
 
Re: Your Favourite of the Bush-Family

Gotta say Dubya. He seems like a real guy, not a polished politician. Also, I know quite a few Marines who have met him to include the former crew chief for Marine One and all of them said he was one of the warmest, funniest, and kindest men they'd met.
 
Re: Your Favourite of the Bush-Family

H.W. wasn't horrible. I don't agree with his politics but he didn't tear apart our country the way his oldest son did. I like Jeb better than his brother but not as much as his dad. It is too early to tell on P yet.
 
Re: Your Favourite of the Bush-Family

Laura Bush
 
George Bush 2000- 2008 is my favorite Bush.

I paid no attention to all of the hyperbole, lies and mischaracterizations from the left.

Why would I lend credibility to the opinions of people that oppose him purely on principle ?

Unfortunately so many Americans bought into the talking point.

The Democrats ? Well, in protest to the last 8 years of a having a supposed " liar " and " incompetent " lead their Nation they elected and ACTUAL liar and incompetent to lead their Nation.
 
Re: Your Favourite of the Bush-Family

I tend to disapprove of families of politicians, frankly..

However of the list I'd choose George H. W. Bush, probably because I only have vague memories of that guy and more recent, negative ones of his son.

Also I don't know **** about the other two, really.
 
Re: Your Favourite of the Bush-Family

George H.W. Bush. I voted for him. Twice. :)

I see G.H.W. Bush as the least bad of a sorry lot.

He did serve in the U.S. military in WWII.

So did his son...George W. Bush serve in the military. He was victimized by that PoS CBS turd, Dan Rather prompting Colonel Wm. Campenni, another pilot in the TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD with Bush to author this letter to the editor of the Washington Times back in 2004. That was when Rather was attempting to sabotage Bush's re-election by spreading bull**** lies about his military service record.

Letters to the Editor - Washington Times

Make sure you read the entire letter.

I've got respect for all three men that have been in high office.

In terms of stuff I thought was best around my interests: Sr. signed into law both the ADA and IDEA, pushed forward the concept of Goals 2000, W. continued to endorse that work with IDEA 2004 and NCLB (however flawed the latter was), and Jeb Bush likewise pumped through his A+ system and vouchers aimed at students with disabilities.
Click to expand...

On that note, I'm a little disappointed right now with some of the Republicans. One of the proponents of reforming NCLB is going to find some strange bedfellows with the liberal teacher unions because one of two possible packages will include more local control and little to no requirements for intervention in poorly performing students, including students with disabilities.

It's an absolute travesty and a pissing away of the decent reforms brought by the Bush family.
