George W. Bush skipping Republican National Convention
Politico ^ | July 20th, 2012 | Johnathan Martin

Former President George W. Bush will not attend the Republican convention next month in Tampa, POLITICO has learned.

“President Bush was grateful for the invitation to the Republican National Convention,” Bush spokesman Freddy Ford wrote in an e-mail. “He supports Governor Romney and wants him to succeed. President Bush is confident that Mitt Romney will be a great President. But he’s still enjoying his time off the political stage and respectfully declined the invitation to go to Tampa.”

Asked if the former president had been invited to only attend or whether he was also asked to speak, Ford said the conversation didn’t get that far and the former president declined “before details were discussed.”

How about the Patriot Act, and DHS? Two things that have created a permanent military nanny state that you and I will live with for the rest of our lives.

Our choices were Bush or Kerry. Again, I didn’t get a real vote because it was decided before my state got a vote. Just like this time.

That was about as lame of a response as I can imagine. Is that the best you’ve got?

Don’t have a prince. However much this might shock you, your hero worship is a rarity.

“Romney is at least 3 times better than Obama”

That would still leave him way short of President GW Bush

“Leftist drivel.”

Couldn’t agree more. After all what’s conservative about pushing amnesty, billions for AIDS in Africa, Medicare Part D or NCLB?? - sarcasm off -

>He kept this country safe after 911<

He kept this country safe?!? Oh Lord! Bush never closed the borders and he wanted to give control of our ports to a Dubai-owned company.

Our country has been safe only by the grace of God.
