Former President George W. Bush had every intention of sticking to his self-imposed exile from politics, but found that the phone kept ringing with appeals from Republican U.S. Senate candidates for help, friends say.
As a result, Bush has embarked on a rescue mission to try to preserve the Republicans' narrow Senate majority in a year in which many party figures fear presumptive nominee Donald Trump will drag them down to defeat in the Nov. 8 elections.
Republicans control 54 seats in the 100-member Senate.
Friends say Bush was initially reluctant to get involved, feeling his time in the limelight had passed. They said he was surprised at the appeals he was receiving to get back into politics more than seven years after his eight-year White House run ended.
Okay it's still only June right?
Because I swear it is beginning to feel more and more like Christmas every day.
George W. Bush, arguably the WORST President this country has seen in its entire two hundred and forty one year history, is now the savior of the Republican party.
If this keeps up I'm going to have to start believing in God.
Yes and we all know how dragging out W saved Jeb!
ReplyDeleteExcellent point!
DeleteHa! It looks like he would hit her.

I would argue that James Buchanan is still the worst President we ever had and W comes in at the second worst.
ReplyDeleteDumbya first. Reagan 2nd, Buchanan third.
DeleteI have heard that Warren G. Harding belongs on that list also.
DeleteThis is a trick, right?
ReplyDeleteI mean ...you're just trying to get my hopes up, right?
Cause, I mean, ...really
George W. Bush is the best they've GOT?

Look you can go after Hillary all day long if you want, and apparently that is the plan.
DeleteBut at some point you have to realize that the primary is over Spanky, and right now the choice is between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
And trust me there is NOTHING you can say that will make Donald Trump the preferred choice over Hillary Clinton.
Besides just because Hillary's husband Bill became best buds with George Bush Sr., and that trickled down to some affection among the family members, is NO indication that Hillary Clinton's presidency will be anything like George W's.
Hillary Clinton is far from perfect...but a WAY better choice than the Trump.
Delete@2:37
DeleteNot for Trump,and will hold Hillary accountable as per your mission statement.
She's besties with Kissinger also too...
You are one pathetic idiot.
DeleteJust goes to show we have a candidate that can get along with others. I don't see that as a bad thing.
DeleteSpanky, lol!
DeleteThere's, like, 10 people in the whole world who know what it's like to be president or first lady. It's easy to see why, because no one else can really get your experience, you'd befriend a former enemy. Doesn't mean she wouldn't want to kick his ass.
DeleteAlso, if you think it's a negative thing that people from different sides can get along, then you are an idiot and part of the problem.
3:07 - how is posting the same anti-Hillary screed here daily holding her accountable? Are you serious? All you are is an impotent drone.
DeleteI thought I was a human bean. Ferp...
DeleteWait - I thought Ted Cruz was going to save the Republican party, didn't that work out for them? Nobody who isn't suffering dementia (yeah, I'm looking @ you, McCain) would want to remind voters that he was/is buddies with Drunkenbush. Get Louie Gohmert ready, it's going to be on him to save the GOP next.
ReplyDeleteOr Todd Akin, or Sarah Palin, or Dick Cheney, or... Hell! The list never ends.
DeleteDavid French was to save the day!
DeleteDubya was "reluctant" to come onto the stage? Or was he scared that someone would try to arrest him for was crimes? He has to know what a screw up he is, and what he mess he left for our terrific President Obama. The gop sure has the dumbest people running their show, to think this FOOL will help. He still gets $250,000 a speech!!! Cardboard cutout Laura gets $50,000 plus expenses.
DeleteFearless (clueless) Bill Krystal will think of someone awesome to save the party. I wonder why HE does not run himself? Too busy lobbying for more $$$ for Israel, I guess.

If they managed to pull that worthless POS away from his painting "therapy" for what he did to this country, the GOP has NOTHING and they know it!
ReplyDeleteI don't tweet but someone please go after him.
ReplyDeleteThis post brought a huge smile to my face! WTF are they thinking? Or are they? I think the whole damn GOP is in a huge state of disarray, and that's a really great thing. Full speed ahead, GOP asswipes!
ReplyDeleteMcCain hates his guts and Romney didn't want him around either, so if Dumbya is now the 'savior,' there's no finer litmus test they know what kind of trouble they're in.
DeleteSomeone must be trying to clean up his image. Soon he will be hailed as the second coming of St. Ronnie.
DeleteLumpy little Johnny Mac said "He is as dumb as a stump" Coming from a man who graduated 895 out of a class of 899 - welll - what can you say?
DeleteGeorge W. Bush was a downer. When will paying for his mistakes end? The monetary mess is a small part. I can't believe what his reign did to people. If not for him and his propaganda to build up military Sarah Palin would have never been available for McCain to make up and exploit her military commander garbage. Track Palin would not have been Bush's poster boy and gone on to live all his lies. Stolen Valor is right about him.
ReplyDeleteHopefully more people will wake up and appreciate saving the beauty and wonder that remains.
National Parks, Envy of the World
http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-06-18/obama-calls-for-protection-of-national-parks-envy-of-the-world
The light of the full moon mixes with water spray from Yosemite Falls to show off a lunar rainbow at Yosemite National Park in Northern California. President Barack Obama and his family left the White House on Friday for a trip to visit two national parks in the western United States this weekend -- Yosemite and Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. The first family's trip coincides with the 100-year anniversary of the National Park Service.

I read that when President Obama left Orlando after his heartfelt speech, there was a rainbow over the city! "Someone" is a big fan, don't you think?
DeleteThe Rabid Republicans are betting that Americans forgot the unnecessary wars that Bush and Cheney and their cohorts started. Not forgotten. They are such evil spirits that they have the nerve not to recognize that Obama was left with their shit and yet they did nothing but obstruct him because he's half black. I have no good words for Bush and his dark shadows and hope that the Republican party aka Nazis die a painful death.
ReplyDeleteCAUTION: As usual, there's NSFW language on Real Time New Rules:
ReplyDelete'Now that the Trump phenomenon seems to have peaked, Americans must ask themselves why? Why, for so long, was there one set of rules for everyone who's ever run for president and then suddenly a completely new set for this Donald Trump person? Because when it comes to lowering the bar; he really raised the bar!
It's been a year and a day since Donald Trump descended on an escalator to announce he was running for president, and since that, he's just kept on descending.'

A comment on Trump:
DeleteIt's like watching a crowd of starving people being fed garbage by a used car salesman convincing them it's caviar.
November is fast becoming what the GOP fears: A referendum on Trump.
DeleteThat's an excellent analogy from 3:17pm.
DeleteTe TV networks should share in the blame also. ABC News last night showed tRump giving an entire speech, then a short clip of Hillary making one comment. tRump gets plenty of help in speading his particular brand of gold plated bullcrap.
DeleteLOL funny stuff ! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDemocrats have won four of the last six presidential elections. Additionally, the Democratic nominee won the popular vote by 0.6 percentage points in 2000. That majority was not enough, however, to prevent the first election of Republican George W. Bush, who secured 271 of 538 electoral votes. From 2000 to 2012, the average Democratic margin was a narrow 2.3 percentage points, although that average increased to 5.6 percentage points for both of President Obama's victories.
ReplyDeleteOther than the virtual deadlock in 2000 (ultimately decided by Bush's 521-vote victory in Florida), the last time the electoral college contradicted the popular vote occurred in 1876. That election was decided by a controversial and biased commission that elected Republican Rutherford B. Hayes, despite a clear popular vote margin cast for Democrat Samuel Tilden. History shows that the popular vote winner has a 95 percent prospect of winning a majority in the electoral college.
History also informs electoral college projections. Analysts rely on recent presidential elections to predict the strategies of the two major political parties, wherein targeting the right combination of states maps a path to 270 electoral votes and, finally, the White House. Complicating the 2016 election is the antipathy that so many voters have expressed about the two presumptive nominees. That sentiment has fostered the prospect that a Libertarian candidate could upset the calculus, mirroring the impact of Ralph Nader's campaign in the 2000 presidential election.
Hillary Clinton is this fall's nominal frontrunner, although recent polls have cast some doubt on the inevitability of her victory. With this in mind, we examine the difficult path that Donald Trump faces in trying to overtake Clinton.

PLEASE don't underestimate the republicans. They are capable of some seriously dirty sh!t, and their misogyny and racism can trump Trump.
ReplyDelete"They are capable of some seriously dirty sh!t..."
DeleteTruer words have never been spoken.
The RNC is starting to make the Okland police department look like a well run operation.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that! Except that some of the officers have the decency to resign. The repubs. cling on with their fingertips, not wanting to give up the easy paycheck and benefits.
DeleteThe Republicans look to GW for help? Well, look who their current leaders are - Mitch McConnell & Paul Ryan! McConnell is the Majority Leader and the biggest obstructionist to President Obama for the last 8 years. McConnell is bought and paid for and in the pocket of the NRA. And Paul Ryan is a...fill in the blank....!
ReplyDeleteMcConnell is definitely a tool of the NRA. Remember when he was talking about Obama's Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland, "“I can’t imagine that a Republican majority in the United States Senate would want to confirm, in a lame-duck session, a nominee opposed by the National Rifle Association,” he told “Fox News Sunday.”

ReplyDeleteCheri Honkala, the leader of the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign, announced that her group was organizing the world’s largest “fart-in” to be held on July 28 at the Wells Fargo Center during Hillary Clinton’s anticipated acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination.
“We will be holding a massive bean supper for Bernie Sanders delegates on American Street in my Kensington neighborhood on the afternoon of July 28,” she said. “We are setting up a Clintonville there, modeled on the Hoovervilles of the 1930s where the poor and unemployed built shanty towns. The Sanders delegates, their bellies full of beans, will be able to return to the Wells Fargo Center and greet the rhetorical flatulence of Hillary Clinton with the real thing.”

A sure-fire strategy to elevate the discourse and prove to the world you are a mature and level-headed individual, capable of intelligent conversation.
DeleteThis has got to be either some kind of joke, the work on someone seeking to discredit a movement, or else the product of breath-taking stupidity.
This is how we're going to carry out our revolution, fellow Bernites! The first step was showing up to peaceful rallies and hitting people with rocks and eggs, now let's fart on them! After this we should totally go ding-dong-ditch the White House! We're making a real difference, no one's ever seen a campaign as noble as ours!
DeleteWith well-reasoned and thoughtful objections like this, the public is sure to take the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign seriously. Not.

Who would have thought the Republicans could have found someone worse than George W.
ReplyDeleteI wonder which punctuation mark he'll use to avoid the word "Bush"? I'm thinking colon would be appropriate.
ReplyDeleteWow, they are truly desperate if they are dragging W out like this. It hasn't been long enough for people to 'forget' how he nearly sent this country off a financial cliff, sanctioned torture, destroyed thousands of lives with his wars, and left a brutal trail of damage and mayhem that we are still coming to grips with today. Can the GOP be that braindead that they think this is a good idea? Unflippinbelievable, as Skank would say. I can't imagine that Mrs. Bush is exactly thrilled.
ReplyDeleteOh, when Laura sobers up she will be very upset!!
DeletePeople, snap out of it. This just another shiny object to distract you from the mess taht is Trump.

The most enduring recollection I have of Bush is the video clip showing him trying to get through a locked door. After looking completely befuddled, he turns to the camera, straightens up, and tries to recall the lesson on looking presidential.
