Geo.Herbert Walker Bush, father of Geo. Bush sold out the American manufacturing business when he allowed "Globalization", which allowed american business to relocate in china, thereby abandoning the workers in this country...products made in china, were allowed to be imported to america tax free, and left a trail of laid off workers being subsidized by the public for health care, unemployment, and unfunded pensions....the result lead to massive unemployment, and the famous words he uttered were "read my lips, no more taxes", lead to his failure to be nominated for a second term as president, and paved the way for the ascension to the presidency of Bill Clinton....President Lincoln was perhaps the first republican president, but he embodied the magnanimous spirit of a great leader, and that is to govern all people in american society, in all races, creeds and social standing...with the same treatment of law....the present condition of America, as it exists today is neither a Red, nor Blue failure, but can be blamed on both isles of the Senate and congress....America is in crisis today, and democracy is being tested.....just as the 1932 presidential election , democracy was tested by a resurgence of communism in this country as a result of the 1929 depression...be careful who you vote for this time...
