"BUSH CAMPAIGNING FOR ROMNEY!"
I bet the next thing i'd see is someone saying something like "WHY IS HE CAMPAIGNING FOR ANYONE? HE ALREADY LEFT US WITH A MESS ONCE!"
So annoying.

Didn't you hear. George Dubya Bush had absolutely nothing to do with the state of our country right now. Obama magically screwed up the perfectness that was the last Republican regime. Every problem we had or have now either started with Clinton or Obama.

I couldn't find a office to clean because there were very little that could hire me because they just didn't have the funds to pay me for the cleaning.

I'm not saying Bush was some God that is almighty. I'm just saying, that the constant Bush bashing is annoying. We all were doing not SO bad as many make it sound. Besides, it's been four years since he left the presidency, people should let it go and let him do whatever he does. Painting? Then it's painting, it's a little childish to insult him for that.

George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.
His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.
The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator's action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

This is almost exactly what I have been trying to get people to see. How can people just forget the whole mess Bush left us with? Do they not realize the amount of money the Republican president made for those in big business, including himself? The wars overseas alone made so many billions of dollars, barely a trickle of which actually reached the lower class. People can say what they will about Obama, and I personally don't like him all that much, but without having much to work with I think he did better than Romney could have done any day.
How can anyone support the Rep. party after they blatantly cheated Paul out of a nomination? They basically did not attempt to hide the fact either. I know some Republicans did actually wake up at that moment, but so many have not, some of which I know in my personal life. It is sad to say the least. And why do they want Romney in office? So he can make more people a lot of money of course.
Let's say I was wrong though. Even if his objective was not to make money for himself and his supporters, the fact still remains that he is not worried about benefiting the vast majority of the populace, who are virtually all lower class at this point. I already know he will eliminate much of the restrictions on big banks, virtually allowing them to screw us in round two, despite the recent crash. This is nothing more than Republican doctrine. The truth is that big business will screw over the people every time, and they need to be controlled in the real sense of the word.
And why is Bush sitting at home painting portraits of dogs all day? Because he can. He was an oil man, and the wars he started alone probably made him hundreds of millions of dollars. If I had that much money I probably would do the same thing. But what makes people like me different from people like him is that people like me would never screw anyone over to make a buck, while people like him would. And in the world of big business, those are the type of people you will find. Romney is this type of person, and is someone I know does not want this job so he can do great things for mankind. He has gone this far because those backing him know he will play ball, and do what he can to make a lot of money for a lot of people.
