Reply #12: one of my earlier memories is of Quayle also [View All]

i was about 9. it was during his first election with Bush for vp. i remember my cousin saying if Dan Quayle becomes president we are in trouble.

in many ways the 2nd Bush is like Quayle. but i think Quayle is mostly an idiot where Bush is an idiot but is hateful and seems to get some pleasure in seeing others get hurt.

i do remember Reagan winning re-election but didn't think much of it.

and while this wasn't directly related to any politician i remember a kid sleeping in a car when was about 5 and that always stayed with me. at the time it was mostly confusion. but as i learned more about history and politics i see the right wing policies are responsible for people having to live that way.

i had a friend named Barbara and i remember kids would tease her by calling her barbara bush. i realized later how bad that was.
