“Bush was a typical New England Republican of his time; as a former banker, he was a pro-business conservative, but held many positions today considered socially moderate. Conservatives distrusted and at times openly opposed him.

Bush was involved with the eugenics promoting American Birth Control League as early as 1942, and served as the treasurer of the first national capital campaign of Planned Parenthood in 1947. Bush was also an early supporter of the United Negro College Fund, serving as chairman of the Connecticut branch in 1951.

From 1947 to 1950, he served as Connecticut Republican finance chairman, and was the Republican candidate for the United States Senate in 1950. One of his opponents at the time, a Republican woman named Vivien Kellems, said that Bush’s nomination was an inside job of political sabotage in favor of William Benton, the Democratic nominee. A columnist in Boston said that Bush “is coming on to be known as President Truman’s Harry Hopkins. Nobody knows Mr. Bush and he hasn’t a Chinaman’s chance.”[1] Bush’s ties with Planned Parenthood also hurt him in heavily Catholic Connecticut, and were the basis of a last-minute campaign in churches by Bush’s opponents; the family vigorously denied the connection, but Bush lost to Benton by only 1,000 votes.”

So, everyone should just create the narrative that he’s a right-wing nut! Which he is. Give him a double-Guantanamo and send him directly to jail! Do not pass Go! Do not collect $200,000,000!

We can’t expect Wing-nutia to care about consistency. There ought to be a relentless attack on all these Republican scumbags:

“He’ just like another BUSH!” “Do you want another 4 years of Bush?!” “One Bush was bad enough!”

“Thompson says he would have done things differently in Iraq than President Bush, yet he has supported Bush’s war for the last 5 years. In 2005 he even said. . . .” Then hit him with his own quotes supporting the war.

Theme: You can’t trust Republicans because they’re just like Bush.

With Bush mired at about 28% approval or worse, that will be a winning tactic.

Everything the Republican tries to do, say it’s just like Bush.

Really, it comes down to this: voting for any Republican is a vote for continued fraud, lying, waste, mismanagement, and huge environmental messes. Not to mention wars that THEIR kids don’t fight in, but they expect others to die in so they can keep swilling champagne on the private yachts.

So, the answer is simple: do NOT vote Republican. Unfortunately the viable choices are all Democrat, and the Rethugs will bring out the hate-contingents against any Democrat. They always do. I don’t understand why honest people don’t tell these GOP swill mongers to go home.

Wingnuts such as the one quoted from FreeperVille are irrelevant. The lil’ shell game Rove’s RoverDogs been playin’ is over.

Fuckin’ over.

Check the polling. Nobody is gonna vote for a Republican. Not now and if we can keep up the pressure not for at least a generation.

4. Neocons burrowing into the Thompson campaign. If you loved Bush Cheney your going to be thrilled with Fred Thompson. It is not simple happenstance that Liz Cheney, Mary Matalin, and Mark Carallo are playing key roles in the nascent campaign. U.S. Ambassador Michael Retzer also is leaving his post to work on the Thompson campaign. In fact (you’ll love this), based on work I did in 1996 on the Dole campaign I got a call asking if I was interested in working on the Thompson campaign. I told my friend that Thompson’s enabling of Scooter Libby disqualified him from any serious consideration for President as far as I am concerned.

What in Hell does anybody see in him, politically or physically?

And just the mere mention of Reagan in any discourse of Thompson tends to simplify and debase the whole thing.

Aspirations such as his obvious correlation between him and Ronnie aren’t worth much the second time around. It sounds like a bad sequel.
