He refused to wipe out Hussein's army on the road to death out of Baghdad. He referred to Reagan's Laffer curve as "Vodoo Economics" , he tore up his NRA card, and he raised taxes on the wealthy. In today's terms, George H.W. is a Democrat.

just imagine looking back all those years you lived. the changes in time.

i wonder if looking back to when you were a child or even young adult would feel like a long time ago or closer.

I plan on living at least another 10 years. Fortunately, all my aunts and my grandmother on my mother's side lived into their 80s. All the men died in their 50s. My mother died at 78. She had lung cancer.

He still gets around pretty good considering his age. As far as Republicans go, he is probably the last one that had some semblance of sanity to hold office in a long time.

He seems senile.

There will be a lot of haters here and that's okay. It's probably deserved, but as a human being I do feel bad for him. The aging process has taken a horrible toll on him.

Jimmy Carter is around the same age but looks pretty good for his age and gets along well, there is a vast difference between the two.

After all he did pass out and throw up on the lap of someone when the Jersey Shore Crew were in diapers.

He is a rotten bastard, just like his old man Prescott, that great friend of Nazi industrialists. There is no such thing as a "good" member of the Bush Crime Family.

Sometimes what goes around comes around. To give up integrity, truth & honesty, and character just to win this election would deserve all the debacles going on at the RNC.
If Mitt Romney can't lead his party, how can he lead the country? So, I don't feel bad for him

1. Being an evil person does not make you age more quickly, and aging quickly does not mean you were a bad person. My mother is the same age as my father-in-law but seems older because of health problems.

2. It is possible to feel sympathy and compassion even for a bad person. I wouldn't think less of someone who couldn't do it, but I also don't think less of someone who does.

88 is really getting up there plus he has Parkinson's. I dislike many of his policies but know he just looks like a frail old man, just like Reagan did at the end. Age gets you in the end no matter how you lived your life, doesn't it?
