Poll question: Which so called political dynasty has had the more positive effect on America? Kennedys or Bushes?
As if I have to ask. Just curious if this is going to be unanimous or not.

3. Of course, the Kennedys.
I can say one good thing about one of the Bushes. As a Texas congressman, George H. W. Bush vigorously supported Planned Parenthood. It is my hope that the Bushes will henceforth look to his early example and avail themselves of Planned Parenthood's services to the max.

5. Didn't he later revoke his support?
I seem to recall an interview in the post-WH years which Barbara Bush gave, was it 20/20?, in which she responded to a question about GHWB's pro-life position, "we don't need to agree on everything, and that's all I want to say about that". ???

7. He did backtrack.
Edited on Wed Aug-26-09 10:28 PM by burning rain
That's why I added the qualification "his early example": to be accurate while not spoiling a bit of acerbic humor with dry explanation. He backtracked on support of Planned Parenthood during the 1980 presidential primaries, where he competed against Reagan, and in his own term as president took a very hard line on abortion, imposing a gag rule on Planned Parenthood, forbidding them from offering abortion counselling, and refusing to protect access to clinics. I suspect his despicable hard-right stance on abortion was just cynical, along with his silly claim that he'd been born again. He was inclined to be a reasonable, mild Episcopalian, but sold his soul to the fundies for political advancement.

12. He was pro-choice until his selection
as VP candidate by St. Ronnie in 1980, then he magically did a 180-degree turn. Can we say pandering hypocrite?

9. Prescott Bush was actually one of the founders of Planned Parenthood
He thought he could use it to implement a Eugenics agenda. Too bad he didn't eliminate the truly bad gene pool - his own.
