In reply to the discussion: Bush 41 was a decent man. Bush the Lesser is a disgrace to all humanity. [View all]MrScorpio
(73,759 posts)32. I was living in DC when Bush 41 was in office and he's lying piece of shit
GHWB is a man with blood on his hands, ask the Panamanians, whose country we invaded for NO GOOD REASON. I credit his invasion of Panama for making me a politically aware, far left leaning, Republican hating American. Before that, his hands were bloodied over Iran/Contra: Iraq's attack on Iran, the funneling of weapons to the Iranians, in order to fund an illegal counter-insurgency in Central America.
Later he GOADED Iraq into another useless war in order to satisfy his corporate masters in the MIC and the Neocons.
He presided over the destruction of Savings and Loans.
And he lied so very much about everything.
The Elder Bush should go fuck himself.

So we need folks to pretend it was only Dubya, pushed around by Dick Cheney, who was bad.

It just goes to show how far things have fallen to consider Bush 41 "decent." Which I do not.

Just because he wasn't as bad as his son doesn't mean he is decent in any way, shape or form.

Going all the way back to Prescott, NONE of the Bushes were decent-some were less evil.
