I gave him a shot in term 1. What he did in term 2 essentially turned me into an independent.

Never did.
I voted for Reagan in the 1980 primary. I will never forget Bush the Elder calling supply side “Voodoo Economics”!
After 8 years of Ronald Reagan’s success I hoped he had learned from the master. No such luck. Between him and Ross we got 8 years of Clintons.
W was better than Al Gore but that says very little for W. Unfortunately W called off the Richard Baker (R, Baton Rouge) House Financial Services Capital Markets Subcommittee on the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Scandal, that started under Clinton, leading to the real estate market bubble crash, that ushered in Obama. Of course McCain didn’t help.
Fortunately JEB became a nothing burger.
The Bushes set back Republican presidential aspirations worse than Richard Nixon. Only Trump had and has the ability to reverse their negative influence.

I don’t have a positive view about any past politician because they are the reason our country is totally fricked in the arse and the one dude (and team) who are trying to save it gets shite on 24/7

This is very true. How do you all think Trump would have been received in the 90's and 2000s. Back then the presidents in power had tremdous spin control groups because they had not figured out how to circumvent the media and the Intel Deep staters. Trump just DGAF about them anymore and is going to do what he has planned to do and let history sort it out.
Back in 41 and 43 terms you could not offend anyone or you would get eaten alive.

I feel the same way and I am 66 yrs old and lived through a lot of this shite...

Not me and I voted for him twice.

I don't hate Dubya, mainly because I think he was a puppet. Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the rest were psychopaths.
As for Papa Bush, behind the WWII hero and sweet old man exterior was a truly evil man.

"Theory?" To the contrary.
It is a well-documented, tragic and -- especially if you're paranoid -- terrifying fact.

George Bush Jr. did some good things and some bad things. He wasn't too bright.

Bushes are evil.1st Gulf War was a fraud to take attention from the scandal his son Neil Bush was embroiled in with the SiveradoSavings and Loan scandal.Cost the taxpayers many millions.
Lucky for him Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait that had been allegedly stealing Iraqi oil.
Anyone remember the Kuwaiti nurse they interviewed saying Iraqi soldiers came in the hospital nursery,dumped the babies out of isolettes and took them to Baghdad.Never happened,she was not a nurse at all.
Then they put out all the propaganda about what a fierce army,Saddam had ,shipped over 100,000 body bags together everybody shook up.
W.is a war criminal IMO,conjured up the WMD bullshite to make Halliburton richer.
How many soldiers died and were maimed for life.Many thousands of Iraqis died.
Saddam Hussein wasn’t particularly a good guy but I would say Iraq was better off under his rule than what transpired.

If I could get to Daddy Bush's grave....I would piss on it.

The Bushes were never really conservative, despite the media painting them as such.

No longer favorable.

They all belong to the club --whatever that is.
Jeb saying "please clap" was pretty telling of what kind of person he is.

I’d imagine they would be of an older demographic.
I’m 45 and I’ve seen my share of horrible presidents, W Bush was the worst of my lifetime. Another term, I’m sure the Biden administration would have topped him.
W was the Woodrow Wilson of the 21st century

Patriot Act. Biggest POS bill ever pushed onto the American people
No Child Left Behind set education in the US back 40 years. Helped the Democrats dumb down the electorate
