HW was really of the the moderate to liberal wing of the Republicans back then. Yes they existed. He was put on the ballot to balance out Reagan.

It only reminds people that the Bush lapse in judgement is not limited to the friends they choose. Their relationship with Cheney certainly goes way back.
