Preston, H.W., Dubya, Jeb, etc.

How many here have a positive take on the Bush family cabal?

I like their humor... that's all I got. Speaking of Jeb! and Dubya, of course.

I have none at all. Thought it was classy of Bush not to criticize Obama when Obama took office. Said it was a difficult job already.

However... he damn sure changed his tune with Trump. Screw the Bushes.

W was a great president. He shouldn’t have engaged in nation building in the ME. But he kicked the jihadis arse back into the Stone Age and they never hit the US again as hard as they did on 911.

Better than the Clinton era of letting Osama attack the World Trade Center (x2), USS Cole, multiple US embassies,etc. W stopped that shite.

It was a different time. Dubya did alright in that different time. Democrats were just starting to go maniacal in his terms.

My positive opinion of Bush ended with Medicare Part D.

My only opinions...Bush, Jr. was more conservative than his dad. Barbara Bush was pretty at age 20. By age 40 she looked like she was 75. I don't know what she was drinking but I don't want any of it.

I have an ambiguous opinion of the Bushes. Growing up I had a positive view of them before I got into politics. Now that I am older my opinion has changed negatively towards them. CIA, Yale, Skull and Bones, Iraq, Afghanistan, The Bushes fighting against Trump is what changed my opinion.

I dislike those fake Texas MFers!

I voted for him, donated to and advocated for him. I was dead arse wrong about what he was. The unionized TSA along with all the other crap will never be forgotten.

I still believe W was exactly the right person in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. He just went too far with the patriot act.

ETA: His buddy buddy act with the Obamas is disgusting though. It's hard to understand his mindset there. It makes him look weak to befriend someone who blamed all of his failures on W.

Dude, you can opt out of Medicare Part D and you should. I don't know how much I pay each month but I walk up the line at my pharmacy and they say sir, you have two prescriptions and that will be for no charge. I have no problem with Part D. You must be under 65.

Not much.

I liked them at the time, looking back at things I don't like them at all.

Chicken shits could have done a lot more to prevent these problems we are having now.

Since I’ve never voted for a Democrat in my life, I voted for W and his dad all four times. Given the same choices I would do it again but their family legacy is stained in my eyes forever. The roots of their family tree run deep into The Swamp.

Zero, I despise the Bush family.

Daddy Bush did a war, but after 100 hours of kicking arse, he stopped, allowed Saddam to stay in power, thus the Middle East problems at that time were not resolved. He then let us read his lips and raised taxes, went from highly popular to defeat in just a few short months, putting Bill, but worse, Hillary Clinton, into the White House. She would then never go away.

Little Bush was way, way worse…he wanted to please his daddy, so he invented the weapons of mass destruction thing to bring us into the worst war one could imagine. Trillions spent, tens of thousands dead and maimed. We still had to walk away from Iraq with nothing.

Little boy Bush also allowed 9/11/01 to happen under his watch.

The “boy” also wanted everyone to own a home, so he created the playbook for no verification or down payment for home loans, leading to the 2008 financial crisis.

Lastly, they tried to put up their last little one, Jeb, but when Trump sliced him up like a fish filet, they did all in their power to make sure Trump would lose, even if it meant Hillary, Sleepy Joe and the totally unqualified DEI VP candidate would be the president.

Really. When you get to be 65 opt out of Medicare Part D. And if you hit the gym and are perfectly healthy and don't take meds you will be good as gold. When you reach 75 and decide the four medications are going to be expensive and decide to opt in. You will pay mucho big penalty to get in. The choice is yours.

I have no complaints about Medicare. When one is 64 years and six months they are informed by their insurance carriers that they will be not covered the day they turn 65. I chose Medicare and most do. But you can go it your own.
