(21,946 posts)A person doesn't change their stripes just because some people say nice things about him because he's dead.
He was into the Iran-Contra fiasco plus other ones. That doesn't speak well for his character to me. Many poor people were killed because of that.
Happens he was CIA. Once CIA always CIA which is for the most part similar to the KGB.
Secret, not quite legal, and works off the radar.
Adding:
Look at his children. Jeb helped his brother GW win in Florida by tossing many off the rolls and horrid ballots.
GW was a terrible and stupid president and had a cushy job protecting the Gulf during Vietnam and couldn't even stick that out and went awol.
One of their brothers was involved in scamming a lot of people in the Banking scandal. Can't remember with they called it, but he's a thief.
That's not too good a track record on being a "good" parent.
