2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhere The Hell Is W?
There are only two living former Republican presidents, and one of them, George H.W. Bush, is ill and cannot attend. So, why isn't the healthiest former Republican president making an appearance at the 2012 Republican convention?
And, why isn't the media reporting about this? This isn't the Soviet Union. You cannot just write former leaders out of the history books.
The Republicans build W, and they should own him.
Where is W?

They are trying so hard to forget that he even ever happened.

(2,770 posts)why Dubya won't make an appearance at the convention - it's the same reason why his name hasn't been mentioned since he left office: While the GOP rant and rail about the deficit, unemployment, the recession, etc., they don't want anyone to remember how we got where we are - or the fact that they cheered Dubya on while he turned a surplus into enormous debt.
Republicans have a short attention span. Out of sight means out of mind.
Besides, if invited, there's a 99% chance he'd show up drunk.

That's right, Republicans, why don't you just go and impeach his ass again because he's STILL more popular with the American people than any one of you!

Now they won't even put his face on TV for two minutes.

(2,404 posts)I think it has been requested of the Bush gentlemen to maintain a very low profile, so as not to actively remind voters of the eight years of disaster we had under the GOP.
