What Papa Bush is telling the GOP is that Obama is on the very same mission as the Neocons, the New World Order, and all that rot. Many of the GOP don’t even notice they are on the same team on the forever wars of terror.

I see a fracture coming. The party of Lincoln, and the party of Rush.

I’m wondering if he’s speaking as the Godfather of the Republican party. They can’t bring Reagan back, as much as they want to.

Let me add to 36, I believe that she graudated 2nd in her class.

This as opposed to the rich kids that got in because daddy could donate money to the school – and then barely squeaked through.

Oh please,

She qualified the entire affirmative action statement already…
Yes it probably HELPED her get into IVY league School but then she specifically states that she EARNED her grades herself…

So she was an affirmative action applicant…so what…she graduated SUMMA CUM-LAUDE Not many can say that…

I think it’d be impossible to find a non-white/male at that age who was not a product of affirmative action. If it weren’t for affirmative action, the only qualified people would still be 100% white/male. That was kind of the entire point.

Colin Powell is also a product of affirmative action. So’s Michael Steele.

Besides, it matters a lot less how she got into college than how she did by graduation.

Hey guys,

Not that this is pertinent to the article but I wanted to point this out for the trolls :)

Pappa Bush has held his voice and criticism of his loser son and how he has mucked up the Country long enough.

Get ready for a whole string of comments…I can feel them bubbling out of him hehehehe…

Baby Bush didn’t even show up today for Pappas 85th Birthday party where he of all things…tandem skydived out of a plane.

Love or hate Bush Sr. at 85 that was a nervy thing to do.
So was speaking out in support of Sotamayer.

Run and hide little cockroaches run and hide…

Cue Limbaugh apology 3 2 1…

I’ll take any Republican calling for rationality and civility. Even an old fart. In fact, the old guard should step up and smack the latest nasty critters down and tell them to behave.

Not that it will happen or the new crew will listen.

In 1991, Bush nominated Sotomayor as a judge for the U.S. District Court…

Today he says “I don’t know her that well ……”

Oooops! Anyone else sees a problems with these two statments?

A Republican wasn’t doing his job? I don’t see a problem there, at least not a logical problem.

Watch this clip and read this post to see that they are actually validating affirmative action by revealing this this footage.

Check out this post from another progressive blog, where Hannity and the GOP think they finally found they missing piece that is going to bury Sotomayor. After reading this article, they are doing the exact opposite.

Sorry, Bush Senior, but the Republican Party has morphed into the Republic Fascist Party of Bigotry, Hate, Corruption, War Criminals, and Racists, who lie, threaten, steal, kill and terrorize the country.

Good luck with trying to bring them back into the real world, they are at present – psychoic.

Fcuk the Republic Fascist Party

Anyone else seeing #41’s parachute jump today as a little more of the competition between him and #43?

As for Sotomayor, since he nominated her in the past, he must defend her today — whereas Dumbya has to keep a low profile and pray he doesn’t get indicted, much less have a word to say about judges, considering what happened to the DoJ under his administration.
