George H.W. Bush in intensive care.....

[texigator]

coco, c'mon now. Have you no sense of decency? Save your tin foil hat crap for another time.

President Bush is a true American hero. He was a torpedo bomber in WWII. Most of those guys never came back. God bless him and his family.

He obviously doesn't.

coco is the ultimate conspiratorialist. Anyway, just looking at this on its face it doesn't look good for H.W. I certainly hope he pulls through but one thing is for sure, he's lived a great life and has done a great job raising a family.

Two sons. One was governor of Texas and a US President. The other was a governor of Florida. Verify fees moms and dads can brag about those accomplishments.

Verify fees indeed.

Also I'm pretty sure he has four sons.

I'm not sure the purpose of your post since they had six children

Can't wait for the rise of George P!

Very true, and well said. I pray for his recovery.

I was not aware of how many children George H Bush and his wife Barbara produced. For some reason I thought there were just two children.

I am sure that G H Bush and Barbara are proud of all of their children.

I was just noting the accomplishments of the two I know of.

A very bad typo on my part. Should of been "few".

Just to make myself perfectly clear, I have no respect for the man at all aside from his wartime service. (A rare commander in chief who had been to war himself.) He's a criminal just by dint of the fact that he was CIA director (while lying, with apparent good reason, though it could be pathological, about being a CIA operative for years before that).

He's dying? Don't we all?

When his cancer finally puts Hugo Chavez on his deathbed, I'll bet the thoughts and prayers and love of all those here who hate his guts now will be with him. Ha ha ha ha.

Bush I served his country, and is a good and decent man who loved his family. If that is to be condemned, America has changed for the worse.

I watched 55,000 young Americans die during 'Nam. Some were friends. However, I harbor no animosity toward those presidents who presided over the war. I decline to condemn them. I refuse to let anger control me. I believe they did what they thought was right at the time.

A person cannot decide what principles another person lives by or what their principles should be. The only thing I can decide is what principles I live by and what choices I make.

I hope that I will make the lives of my children and grandchildren better than mine, and that they will remember me as a good and decent man who cared greatly for them and loved them deeply. When I die, nothing else will matter.

Who is condemning that? But whether he's "a good and decent man" is your opinion. (Plenty of bad, indecent people love their families.) I don't look so favorably on a man with an intelligence background who lies about it, particularly lies about Dallas, and (given that association) may have helped identify a good patsy (a troubled friend of the family) to program for the hit on Ronnie. Then there's Iran/Contra etc. But enough on this "good and decent man." I've said my piece. Now he can let his Maker read his lips.

Damn coco,
I've never heard anybody before say he's not a decent man. It really seems like you may have some voices going on telling you things.

He was the head of the CIA....an organization based in lies and deception.

I'm sorry, do we condemn all former directors of the CIA as indecent people? I'm curious if a professional title automatically subjugates someone to evil? How does this work because perhaps we all need to do some soul searching. Where is this written so I may purchase a copy for my library for reference?

There are facts about Bush and his background that suggest he had involvement in the assassination of one president and the attempted assassination of another (with the latter, had it been successful, making him president). So there is more, you see, than him once being CIA director that would make him a rather indecent person.

Yes just as I remember the rumors of the murders Clinton was responsible for. Conspiracy theories are just that

My dictionary defines theory as the analysis of a set of facts in their relation to one another. Don't try to equate it with rumors.
