(6,229 posts)Barbara Bush was and her husband is a moderate repub. (Not her sons) They are like repubs use to be before the religious right sold their souls for votes. repubs use to be conservative on financial issues, but for the environment and women's rights. This is how far they have moved right.

It wasn't just Ike. Nixon was the one who gave us the EPA. Think about it.

(32,645 posts)...I'm in good mood right now and I don't want to ruin it with a rant on Nixon.
Yes he gave us the EPA, but there was so much other shit from that guy that I can never let it go. I grew up in the 60's so please take my word for this. May he rot in hell!

Fucking Nixon, unhearalded New Dealer (that was yesterdays winning post), and now inspiration for Greenpeace apparently.
We are doomed.

(82,849 posts)And Elliott Abrams and Robert McFarlane and Clair George and Duane Clarridge and Alan Fiers? In the middle of the night? On Christmas Eve? After he'd lost his re-election bid and was the lamest of lame ducks? And just before Weinberger was about to go on trial for selling arms to Iran and using the proceeds to fund the murderous Contras?
Why yes he did! All of it. Every last bit of it.
Fuck you, George H.W. Bush. May you rot in hell for eternity, tormented by the shades of your victims forever.
