Right after the 2000 election they dropped the facade. Bush Sr went golfing with Bill Clinton constantly and publicly referred to him as his 5th son. Clinton also covered for Bush Sr crimes and pardons in an effort to look forward but who would've guessed in 1993 that it meant grooming GW Bush and all of daddies leftovers to take the country back in 2000. It scares me that Obama did the same favor for GW Bush in the name of once again looking forward and I hope the lack of prosecutions doesn't mean get ready for Jeb Bush with a democrat facilitated rebranding and ressurection of the republican party under him. The disgusting charade was on full display once again at the GW Bush presidential library coronation where Clinton sucked up to Barbara Bush in his speech calling her mom. These aren't just polite niceties and even Obama participated in the fawning which just gives credibility to the Bush family when it's not deserved. They ALL distanced themselves from Carter both in their words and body language again. They know he is the only one of them with a pure heart. I'm sorry if you haven't noticed this. Check out Bill Clinton threatening Jerry Brown in the '92 PBS roundtable primary debate. He turned beet red and yelled at Jerry saying, "You don't know what you're messing with Jerry". It was in response to Jerry throwing a photo up on the screen of Sam Nunn and Bill inspecting Black inmates at a Georgia chain-ganged boot camp. I suspect Jerry didn't realize that the corporate state had already decided who would fill the democrat slot in case Bush lost due to Perot.
