The Bushes were Clinton-Lite, but a weight on we "little people" American who need less regulatory. less international meddling, less immigration and less government everywhere! m/r
George H.W. Bush and Hillary’s Fake Conservatives
Bush gave us the Clintons. And now the Clintons may end the Bush legacy.
September 22, 2016 Daniel Greenfield
Ronald Reagan’s worst mistake was named George H.W. Bush. Bush was
the price that Reagan paid for the support of fake conservatives.
And the price ended up being his legacy.
Reagan had never felt good about naming Bush as his second, worrying about “turning the country over to him.” And he was right to worry. Once in office, Bush disavowed Reagan’s economic policies, which he had always hated, got deep into bed with the Saudis with disastrous results, and lost a winnable election to Bill Clinton. Reagan had handed Bush victory and Bush had brought Republicans utter defeat.
Bush was the ultimate political insider, with shaky popular appeal, but impeccable political connections. Loyal to party, rather than principles, he was trusted by the establishment in sensitive positions. His final task was to undermine the Reagan Revolution. It’s unsurprising to hear that he will vote for Hillary.
George H.W. Bush ran against Reagan as a left-leaning Republican. In Congress he had backed a plethora of destructive leftist programs. On his way to the White House, he was for abortion and the ERA and the FHA. Described by his wife as a social liberal and a fiscal conservative, he failed to live up to even that low bar in the White House.
