Democrat Praise for Bush Limits ‘Acceptable’ Republican Policy on Guns and More

USA – “Condolences pour in from New York state, Hudson Valley with passing of former President George H.W. Bush,” the Daily Freeman reports. “U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said Bush was ‘a fine man and even when he opposed your view, you knew he was doing what he thought was best for America. His yearning for a kinder and gentler nation seems more needed now than when he first called for it.’”

“New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo … called Bush ‘a statesman and patriot who dedicated his life to serving his country,’” the report continues.

They’ve pulled this act before.

“Sen. Chuck Schumer, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo join others praising John McCain,” Newsday reported in August following the senator’s death. The tributes from the left were effusive – if one believed them, one could believe Democrats admire “good” Republicans, as opposed to the “deplorable” kind. The thing is, when alive, such affectionate warmth always seemed to disappear whenever an opportunity to grasp more power arose. Suddenly “moderates” would find themselves attacked as “rightwing extremists” and worse.

The same held true in life for President Bush, and in death, the less restrained, the mask-off socialists, are calling him a racist for his part in exposing the truth about  Michael Dukakis enabling convicted murderer Willie Horton to commit assault, armed robbery and rape while enjoying a weekend furlough.
