Bush 41: Lay off Sotomayor

Calling Sonia Sotomayor racist for her now-infamous “wise Latina” remark “doesn't help the process,” former president George H.W. Bush tells CNN. "I don't know her that well but I think she's had a distinguished record on the bench and she should be entitled to fair hearings,” he says. Bush 41 nominated Sotomayor to serve as a federal district court judge in 1991.

“You're out there name-calling,” Bush says, referring to influential conservatives like Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich, who jumped on the Supreme Court nominee’s comment. Instead, “let them decide who they want to vote for and get on with it." Lawmakers should look to Sen. John Cornyn, Bush adds. “He may vote for it, he may not. But he's backing off from those radical statements to describe her.”

Daddy Bush is behind here; that should be the "kiss of death" for her nomination. That's good news for Newt, Rush and the others who have commented on this forum who do not want to see her nominated.

Yea like I am going to listen to him, "Bill Clinton is like a son to me" - that one statement I lost all respect for the guy.

I never had any respect for him ever, other than his war service. I admire that. The rest? Almost offsets that. :eek:

What, Witness? Because Elder Bush has an R behind his name, we should listen to him? Sorry... I'm not a sheep.

While I don't think he was a useless president, I would've rather seen Charlton Heston follow Reagan. Heston wouldn't have been a god, like Obama; but a leader, like Moses. :D

I gave both Bush's a D+ for their job. Clinton got a F. Reagan a C-. The last President who I would gvie above a C was Dwight D. Obama is working hard on his F right now. :(

Calling Trent Lott a raciest how did that help anything? He didn't say anything close to what she said. You say she is well quailfied well have you done any research on how many of her great "latin woman" rulings have been over turned.

Huh? Trent Lott? Help anything? "I" said she is well qualified? Did you just done driving 11 hours? Because from your last few posts I really think you might need some rest.

Funny that you mention Trent Lott. I didn't see Daddy Bush come to his aid. Might be because he has the same NWO view as Obama.

Hey Layout and Greg,simple question:

Did you vote for Bush 1 once or twice? Or.like Leo did you "vote against the other guy".
Let's have the truth Greg,in one word. Yes or no.

You guys dismiss your votes like yesterdays garbage,or use the Leo escape clause.Desparate days bring desparate answers.

I give Reagan a B plus, (A if he hadn't rolled up the defecit)
Bush 1 a C coulda been higher but "read my lips"
Clinton an A minus woulda been an A plus were it not for personal issues
W- hmm F or incomplete either way he left 1 huge mess
Obama- so far an A minus the economy is holding back my grade, but you have to give it time.

These are the proper and correct grades of our recent presidents, not opinion.

I see your problem, Doug. You look at everything at its face value. You don't dig deeper, and ask yourself questions... Why did the Reagan deficit go up? What happened to "read my lips"? How did Clinton deserve an A, when his first two year, his approval was so low? How was that Bush mess left; and how was it caused in the first place?

I would suggest looking at Bush and Hoover. The two are very much alike, in how they handled the economy. Then look at Obama and FDR. They too are very similar. You will see how we got into this mess, and why it will only get worse.

Do your own research. Find your own answers. Don't just look at the president; look at the ppl in charge of writing policy... Congress. Don't rely on mass media alone, to form your opinions; as they will only show you what THEY want you to see. I'm not saying to listen to talk radio either. But invest some time into doing your own homework. Otherwise, when you go up against others who do their own research, you sound like a know-nothing.

One thing would help you right off the bat... read the Constitution, and the personal papers of the Founding Fathers. This country survived, flourished, and brought world peace three times, because of what these men envisioned. THEY are the reason you and I live in a free society. Look at history, then tell me what happened that we're steering from their philosophy.

Yes

Why?

Because of the John Sasso problem.

No... because it's supposedly a bad thing to vote for a Republican. I get the same thing from my family, and it's like I'm debating with a bunch of unarmed buffoons. If Cal wants to blame us for Bush, he'll have to tell 40 some odd million other ppl as well. But I'd say look at his own party, and who they put up against Bush. Kerry? LMAO!!!

I'm rollin' Hawk,you hit the funny bone again.At 62,your trying to kill me with this stuff,give me a break. I can't take much more.

What do we know about the w years for certain? I need not go into it.As canidate w he had billions of corporate $$ from the likes of Ken Lay. He was a lier about his Alabama National Guard time, a two bit loser in the naturaL gas game and a Govenor that executed more death row inmates(most without DNA evidence)then any Govenor in history.He also built a ballpark.Oh, and his name is Bush.Your man baby,twice,as once just was not good enough.

Kerry is not the issue,as he was correct on every single prediction he made of the disaster waiting to happen under w's second term.So claiming Kerry was the reason you voted for w the second time is Leo logic. Something about Koolaid or some such hogwash.Your brighter then that Hawk,I know you are.There is absolutly no evidence other then pure speculation on where Kerry would have led the country.It is highly unlikley he would have let the likes of Cheney and Rumsfeld run amok with our military (Kerry was an honorable vet).
I'll buy your Leoesque logic,but I would think you might like to distance yourself from that nonsense and just say you srewed up.The contrived blather about not voting for and voting against is killing me.It was a mistake,we all make them,and get on with it.

To recap,it's virtually impossible for any politician,paticularly Kerry,with a heartbeat to have screwed up worse then w.

Maybe I did something wrong, in YOUR eyes. You obviously did something wrong in MY eyes, by voting for Obama. Don't make this out to look like a mistake. I flipped that lever KNOWING what I was doing. No mistake about it. It's not like I farted, then tried to act like I didn't.

I liked Bush, when he first took office. He was straight-forward with the media. He tried to steer Congress, which failed. He tried to be conservative, which failed. Then he seemed to wuss out on us... ultimately grovelling to the Saudi king for more oil. He pushed for an elderly pharma bill they didn't need. He became more and more like the pork-happy Congress. Then, when the Dems took Congress, he became more like them.

I agree with the war, tho. I backed him all the way thru it. Can't blame him for the way America was perceived by the world, as most countries hate other countries more powerful than theirs. Europe needs to get over their heirarchy. Most of the problems we've faced in the last many centuries were because Europe couldn't fix its own messes. Now, they love a man who puts his country down, like they did Clinton.

No way I was voting for Gore, as he was/is a tool. No way I was voting for Kerry, as he was/is an egomaniac, who would say anything to get into office. I voted to keep another one out, this time. Unfortunately, the corpse I voted for couldn't find his way out of a wet paper bag, let alone an election.

So, now, we have an egomaniac, who got elected with billions in donations from the likes of Soros. No one knew anything about Obama, other than he didn't look like those other presidents on the currency. But let's not make this based on race, everyone said. The hypocrisy of this guy astounds me to no end. The double-talk, blame, side-stepping... all of it. He wakes up in the morning with one thing in mind... "How can I make myself more loved today?" Nothing will stop him from that goal... including the destruction of the American way.

As far as no one with a pulse not screwing up like Bush... either Carter was a zombie, or you got so wasted in the 60s, that you don't remember the 70s.

Lets score his card on what he does and not on speculation about what he might or might not do. You sound like I did in 04,how can you do this,this guy is an idiot etc etc.I understand your rage and frustration,I honestly do. But I seriously doubt he wakes up with the agenda you described,that's a little harsh.However,unlike Bush,he's enjoying a real mandate, here and abroad and that's pretty heady stuff.

Similar to w after 911,it will be his to screw up. I supported our President after 911,I honestly did.I still have the flag on my fridge I proudly displayed after his speech with the fiiremen on top of the rubble.But then something happened.If this guy goes off the rails,I'll be part of the chorus calling for his head. That's a promise

What kind of person writes his autobiography BEFORE he becomes famous? I contend one doesn't, unless that person is an egomaniac.

egomaniac
noun (Plural: egomaniacs)
  1. A person obsessed with their own (supposed) importance.
    He's a raving , all he ever talks about is himself and how important he is.
Next time Obama speaks, listen for how often he says "me" and "I".

Also, I won't wait for YOU to tell ME when Obama is off his rocker. As far as I'm concerned, he's already there. The scorecard is already written for me. The man continues to use the Constitution for his toilet paper. For that, he has earned my hatred!
