<snicker> Good Ole Boys club, ain't it.... So which Corporate Candidate are you going to try to put in office and then be disappointed with?
Here are the top most loved Democrats and Republicans from 1988 through 2008, all family like, none of that Opposition mythical stuff we hear about. If nothing changes, then nothing changes. Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is a definition of insanity. Scott Barbara Bush said the man who defeated her husband in 1992, Bill Clinton, is now a close friend of the family: A brother by another mother to Bushs sons, as described by Barbara. I think he [Clinton] thinks of George as the father he never had. Truthfully, she continued. He knows a lot about everything. Hes a very knowledgeable, right man, George Bush said of his former rival. Bush described his relationship with Clintons presidential successor, his son George W. Bush, as more about father and son than a former president advising another. --------------- http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-george-hw-bush-who-the-hell-is-grover-norquist-20120713,0,499660.story By Morgan Little This post has been updated, as indicated below. July 13, 2012, 9:31 a.m. Nearly 20 years removed from the White House, former President George H.W. Bush, accompanied by his wife, Barbara, sat down for an interview with Parade Magazine. Praising two out of his three presidential successors, Bush saved his critiques for anti-tax ringleader Grover Norquist. Bush, whose campaign for reelection in 1992 was severely damaged by his failure to live up to his pledge no new taxes, was asked how he felt about that same pledge becoming the calling card for the current class of Republicans. The rigidity of those pledges is something I dont like. The circumstances change and you cant be wedded to some formula by Grover Norquist. Its who the hell is Grover Norquist, anyway? Bush remarked. I think he ought to go back to Alaska, Barbara Bush joked, a reference to a 2010 interview in which she said she hoped Sarah Palin would remain in her home state. Norquist's organization, Americans for Tax Reform, pointed to a Bush quote from 1992, in which he said his tax compromise was a "mistake." "I thought this one compromise and it was a compromise would result in no more tax increases," he said. "And now we see Congress talking about raising taxes again. So Im disappointed." Barbara Bush said the man who defeated her husband in 1992, Bill Clinton, is now a close friend of the family: A brother by another mother to Bushs sons, as described by Barbara. I think he [Clinton] thinks of George as the father he never had. Truthfully, she continued. He knows a lot about everything. Hes a very knowledgeable, right man, George Bush said of his former rival. Bush described his relationship with Clintons presidential successor, his son George W. Bush, as more about father and son than a former president advising another. Wed talk about things, Bush said, He never said the Dad, what do I do now? kind of thing. Nor was there any competition. People always said, 'I read that George was just doing this because he wanted to beat his father' and they were stupid. It wasnt true, Barbara Bush added. George Bush is now 88 and suffering from vascular Parkinsonism, a condition that causes symptoms similar to Parkinsons disease without the loss of nerve cells characteristic of Parkinsons, also looked back on his time in the White House. I think we had an honorable administration, he said, reflecting on his proudest moments. We were relatively scandal-free and blessed by good people. Something I guess Id throw in there is the liberation of Kuwait. I dont think any presidents ever had the background he had. Im prejudiced, I admit, Barbara said. And 40 million people now have jobs they can get to because of the Americans with Disabilities Act. You cant not count that. The full interview, conducted with presidential historian Mark Updergrove, will be published in Sundays issue of Parade. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
