Jeb Bush amazes me (UPDATED WITH NEW INFO - CHECK IT OUT!)

48. I do not think George H.W. Bush is a moron

I have always found him contemptible because of some of the clandestine roles he played. I do believe he knew beforehand that John Kennedy was going to be assassinated. There definitely was a group of people in the Federal Government that disagreed with John Kennedy's policies and plans. They definitely were angry over the refusal by Kennedy to go after the Russians during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Additionally, Kennedy had plans to end the war in Viet Nam, something at that time not publicly disclosed. There were also other social programs he wanted to implement conservatives did not like. All in all, a group of very right-leaning war mongers regarded Kennedy in the White House as a national security risk they were duty-bound to remove. IMHO

So I have no respect for George H.W. Bush but I do think he did the right thing is rescuing Kuwait from Saddam Hussein. His sons are a different story. I personally believe we should close the book on Bushes in government service -- but this of course has to come from the voters. I try to do my part in convincing them by writing threads like this one.

Thanks for posting your thoughts on the matter on this thread.
