  • In 1988, I was a 26-year-old employee of a Fortune 500 company, and I was invited to attend a Bush fundraiser on the company dime. After then Vice President Bush spoke, he made his way to the floor where he went from table to table shaking hands. My wife, a very pretty blonde 24-year-old, stood next to me as we waited for the Vice President to make his way to our table. As he approached, I stuck out my hand, but Mr. Bush reached past me to my wife, and whispered to me, "If you think I'm going to shake your hand first, you're crazy!" I loved that and will always remember it. My wife was so flattered when I told her what he said. 😂

    • Try to think of one issue that's ever been resolved in the history of our history, you won't be able to think of one, because no issues has ever been resolved..Here's why, 50% of the Republicans are voting for the Lesser evil and at the same time, 50% of the Democrats are voting for the Lesser evil, that means we the American people vote for the Lesser evil, 100% of the time, it just depends on what party your affiliated with. You can't make a difference voting red or blue, that's an illusion.... If the government's divided within itself, then so are the American people, because we follow their lead... Voting red or blue is a lose-lose situation and the only way voting works, is if Americans can get on the same page and we write in our own candidate, who will go in and actually make a difference that impacts every single American in a positive way... We only know one way of how this country can be ran and that's the way it's been running, there are a million better ways to run this country and a new system must be put in place.. This country will never come together, as long as they're divided within our government... The government leads by example and whether that example is good, bad or indifferent, the American people will follow... It's impossible to resolve any issue this country has, when the country's split down the middle, every single election... Think about it, if within our government, they're always blaming the opposing parties and either past or current president, then so are the American people... Here you have a government, who's supposed to have our best interests in mind at all times, yet they never take responsibility and they're always blaming the opposing parties, past and current president's, they're always adding fuel to the fire and they stir the pot every chance they get.. It's just common sense, how could we ever Unite, if this is how they act within our own government and not to mention they've implemented A system that works against the American people. There's no reason every single American couldn't be living middle class at the very least, no one should live paycheck-to-paycheck, nobody should go hungry, nobody should be sacrificing their life short or not getting Medical Care, because of their insurance or they couldn't make a first payment on their medical bill, everyone should have a roof over their head and shoes on their feet, that should be automatic.. Instead, we only know one way and that's the system which is in place..Why do you think they always give you two options for President and at the same time, encourage you to vote Republican or Democrat, because no matter who you choose, we lose and they win..You can't make a difference voting red or blue, the only way voting works, is if everybody gets on the same page and we write in our own candidate, who will go in and actually make a difference for us, the American people.. The American people are voting for the Lesser evil 100% of the time, it just depends on what party you're affiliated with... Everything I'm saying is indisputable and provable Beyond A Reasonable Doubt... I mean we the people appoint the government, to watch us, protect us, guide us, lead us and to always have our best interest in mind, excetera... So if this is the case, why would they devise and Implement a system that works against us?? Something incredibly crooked is going on and we know this, because the government is divided within themselves, split down the middle between Republican and Democrat.. Which makes it literally impossible to resolve any issue, or make a difference by voting red or blue, because if they're split down the middle, then so are we, the American people.. Furthermore, anything we create, we can change, take away, or improve, here you have this governmental system in place, which not only divides us, but kills us left and right... To think people have to sacrifice their life short and not receive medical attention because their insurance is bad, or they can't make their first payment, is inconceivable... To think we the people appoint the government to have our best interests in mind, guide us, lead us and protect us, etc and this is what they do, I can't even put it into words it makes me so mad....We got to take it back, find the most creative minds to implement a system which benefits every single American, to the fullest worst part is, money has no value besides what your told it's worth, even when it was backed by gold, it's still something that was created and now it dictates everything...For instance, they say you can't print money, because it will flood the market and disrupt the economy, well what market, the market we create and the economy it produces, will be disrupted by an illusion called money, that we just happened to put an imaginary value on??? It's laughable and makes you sick all at the same time, I mean to think we're living under this imaginary bulshit system, that could be changed, improved, or taken away at any time, well........ I'm at a loss of words, because crooked, immoral, unjust and nonsensical, are all understatements, just say'n...

    • Try to think of one issue that's ever been resolved in the history of our history, you won't be able to think of one, because no issues has ever been resolved..Here's why, 50% of the Republicans are voting for the Lesser evil and at the same time, 50% of the Democrats are voting for the Lesser evil, that means we the American people vote for the Lesser evil, 100% of the time, it just depends on what part of your affiliated with. You can't make a difference voting red or blue, that's an illusion.... If the government's divided within itself, then so are the American people, because we follow their lead... Voting red or blue is a lose-lose situation and the only way voting works, is if Americans can get on the same page and we write in our own candidate, who will go in and actually make a difference that impacts every single American in a positive way... We only know one way of how this country can be ran and that's the way it's been running, there are a million better ways to run this country and a new system must be put in place.. This country will never come together, as long as they're divided within our government... The government leads by example and whether that example is good, bad or indifferent, the American people will follow... It's impossible to resolve any issue this country has, when the country's split down the middle, every single election... Think about it, if within our government, they're always blaming the opposing parties and either past or current president, then so are the American people... Here you have a government, who's supposed to have our best interests in mind at all times, yet they never take responsibility and they're always blaming the opposing parties, past and current president's, they're always adding fuel to the fire and they stir the pot every chance they get.. It's just common sense, how could we ever Unite, if this is how they act within our own government and not to mention they've implemented A system that works against the American people. There's no reason every single American couldn't be living middle class at the very least, no one should live paycheck-to-paycheck, nobody should go hungry, nobody should be sacrificing their life short or not getting Medical Care, because of their insurance or they couldn't make a first payment on their medical bill, everyone should have a roof over their head and shoes on their feet, that should be automatic.. Instead, we only know one way and that's the system which is in place..Why do you think they always give you two options for President and at the same time, encourage you to vote Republican or Democrat, because no matter who you choose, we lose and they win..You can't make a difference voting red or blue, the only way voting works, is if everybody gets on the same page and we write in our own candidate, who will go in and actually make a difference for us, the American people.. The American people are voting for the Lesser evil 100% of the time, it just depends on what party you're affiliated with... Everything I'm saying is indisputable and provable Beyond A Reasonable Doubt... I mean we the people appoint the government, to watch us, protect us, guide us, lead us and to always have our best interest in mind, excetera... So if this is the case, why would they devise and Implement a system that works against us?? Something incredibly crooked is going on and we know this, because the government is divided within themselves, split down the middle between Republican and Democrat.. Which makes it literally impossible to resolve any issue, or make a difference by voting red or blue, because if they're split down the middle, then so are we, the American people.. Furthermore, anything we create, we can change, take away, or improve, here you have this governmental system in place, which not only divides us, but kills us left and right... To think people have to sacrifice their life short and not receive medical attention because their insurance is bad, or they can't make their first payment, is inconceivable... To think we the people appoint the government to have our best interests in mind, guide us, lead us and protect us, etc and this is what they do, I can't even put it into words it makes me so mad....We got to take it back, find the most creative minds to implement a system which benefits every single American, to the fullest. WORST PART is, money has no value besides what your told it's worth, even when it was backed by gold, it's still something that was created and now it dictates everything...For instance, they say you can't print money, because it will flood the market and disrupt the economy, well what market, the market we create and the economy it produces, will be disrupted by an illusion called money, that we just happened to put an imaginary value on??? It's laughable and makes you sick all at the same time, I mean to think we're living under this imaginary bulshit system, that could be changed, improved, or taken away at any time, well........ I'm at a loss of words, because crooked, immoral, unjust and nonsensical, are all understatements, just say'n...

The CIA don't have anything to do with people living in the United States, their primary goal is in relation to foreign countries and governments. The KGB, on the other hand, were a secret police that terrorized its own people and an intelligence organization. Two completely different things. A director of the CIA would make a great president because they would have a good understanding of foreign affairs.

  • He was probably the most qualified person ever to be elected President: Navy WWII veteran, Yale grad, successful business man, devoted family man, Congressman, US Ambassador to the United Nations and to China, Director of the CIA, Vice President for 8 years, then President.
