Former first lady Barbara Bush is giving a thumbs down to the GOP presidential race.

"I think it's been the worst campaign I've ever seen in my life," Bush said Monday at a conference on first ladies at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. "I hate that people think compromise is a dirty word. It's not a dirty word."

Bush's comments were reported by The Dallas Morning News.

The wife of President George H.W. Bush and the mother of President George W. Bush recently recorded automated calls on behalf of Mitt Romney that are targeting voters in Ohio and Vermont. Both states are among the 10 that go to the polls tomorrow on Super Tuesday.

In the robo-calls, Bush says Romney is the "best man to lead the country" and his wife, Ann, "will make a great first lady."

Bush and her daughter-in-law, former first lady Laura Bush, took part in the conference at SMU, where the younger Bush's presidential library is going to be located.

In response to a question about civility in politics, Barbara Bush didn't mince words. "I think the rest of the world is looking at us these days and saying, 'What are you doing?' " she is quoted as saying in the Dallas newspaper.

It's true. I hate politics. It's really a shame that these privileged blowhards have such a drastic effect on the day to day lives of Americans... and that goes for all politicians. I don't care what "party" you're associated with.

Term limits. Fixes alot of crap up there the day they do it.

I dont care what side of the aisle you sit on. Until these morons start realizing they work for us and not see politics as a career gig nothing is really going to improve.

I saw something on the news once where they mentioned that some ridiculously low number of people approved of the job that Congress was doing overall (something like 30%....I don't recall the exact numbers). However, a large percentage (70%?) thought that their representative was doing an excellent job.

I thought that was interesting. Just shows that these guys that shill for their state in spite of it being good for the country are actually helping keep their job.

Yeah I've seen those kinds of polls before. Its amazing how dumb people are when it comes to this stuff.

Not enough people take voting serious enough. They either dont vote (which is pathetic) or worse, they vote despite not doing any homework (even more pathetic)
