1. That was about BCCI - He 'lost' 1992 race deliberately. The BCCI Report was scheduled to be

released Dec 1992 AFTER the election.

Had Bush stayed in office there would have been extensive hearings on the findings in the report and he would have most certainly been impeached.

BCCI contains the roots of pretty much all the regional chaos going on in the world over the last 4 decades.

Now, he's the Mafia Don that plays the Gimp to keep from going to Trial. He made his own Prison.

I believe in the adage that you're only as strong as your weakest point and that one is as weak as it gets. And what does it have to do with the Arizona voting outrage? Were the Bushes behind that?

Bernie would have read the article at the link I posted in the OP, before he opened his Yap.

Is that you, Dempsey?

I went to the "article" at your link, and below it the person who wrote it said he didn't know if the quote was real or not. I googled it and found that "article" plus 2 or 3 other mentions on conspiracy blogs. I find it inconceivable that Bush Sr. said something like that to Sarah McClendon (I think that was the reporter, am not going back to check) and it wasn't widely reported.

To Ignore for you now. I'm not interested in interacting with garbage peddlers no matter where they are on the political spectrum.

said that Poppy Bush said?

Geez…..you put up with all sorts of stuff here hurled at Democrats, yet you draw the line at something that shows Poppy Bush in a negative light?

Pretty transparent of you.

And MANY DU members do view BCCI as one of Poppy Bush's most vulnerable issue.

Imagine that….you don't.
