Bush's parents let him and rest of the world down

Parental responsibility - where does it end?
As a father, I don't believe it ever does.

If you bring children into this world, you should make sure they're on the right path exhibiting not only Christian behavior, but setting a good example in society, making for a better world.

Barbara Bush and George Bush Sr., when did you think your responsibility ended with George Jr.?

Quite apparently, it was when Jr. went off to college. How did you not know he was taking drugs and becoming alcohol addicted?

When he was governor of Texas, were you not aware he had become a heartless person based on the fact he let dozens of prisoners continually be executed without commuting the sentence of even one?

When he became president, where were you to advise him not to invade Iraq? In his eighth year as president, what good advice did you ever give him? Quite obviously you and Barbara never did. Why?

Shame on you for not offering any input.

Your son turned out to be a selfish, arrogant, uncaring know-nothing who has wreaked havoc and been totally destructive and will be remembered as the worst U.S. president ever! As parents, does that make you proud of your son?

How could you ever stand by and let your son exhibit behavior that time and again was totally out of control?

What if every parent never monitored their children's behavior during the course of their lives?

Talk about making for a better world, the exact opposite would take place.

I'd say as parents, on a scale of minus 10 to plus 10, you deserve a minus 10.

As for George Jr., he's an out of touch, lost soul. Shame on all of you for being completely out of touch with reality.

Well, that says it all doesn't it? You don't even care if innocent people are victimized by this barbarianism. I cannot believe anyone could be so callous. Amazing. "

" I look at it this way - since "conservatives" are always railing over "personal" responsibility, I think Murray was making a lot of sense here.

But that's just me. "

" He only executed a dozen--shame on him I am sure the Texas jails have more than a dozen that NEED TO GO!

Sorry murray, but after they turn 21, they are adults with their own minds and do whatever they wish, especially if they arent living under mama's roof!

A parent may suggest, but ma/pa have NO CONTROL!
I know you are an elderly man so are you seriously trying to convince me and other readers that you did EVERYTHING your parents told you to do after the age of 21 ??? "

" Karl, huh?

I think he meant Bush's parents/family, no?

But he did get that part wrong for sure - the Bush family knows EXACTLY what it is doing, and they don't give a RA about anyone but themselves and their elitist corporate and military friends in the pursuit of power. They have a LONG history which proves that. They are a SPOOKY family! "

" Wow Chris, we finally agree! lol

He got it so wrong here:

"I'd say as parents, on a scale of minus 10 to plus 10, you deserve a minus 10."

Had he said a minus 30 out of minus 10 to plus 10, I would feel differently. It's the new Coulter math - incredible what you can do with this stuff! hahahaha "
