George W. Bush Won’t Speak at 2012 GOP Convention

Former President George W. Bush is still a polarizing figure, even nearly four years after his term ended. To be sure, part of this comes down to the Obama administration’s obsessive focus on painting the recession as an “inherited” problem from the former President, but even without their constant drumbeat of criticism, Bush’s shadow still looms large over the GOP and the country as a whole.
Because of this, Bush‘s particularly memorable character could have complicated the GOP’s election strategy this year, if the former President had been a visible presence. To this date, he hasn’t been, and the only chance he would have had to be such a presence would have been to speak at the RNC convention.
George W. Bush
Fortunately for Republicans with concerns about Bush’s presence, though, that will not happen. The former President is apparently sick of politics and has declined the invitation to speak. Politico reports:
“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.”
This is a pretty strong reaction from a former President. Not that you can really blame Bush – he did run a gauntlet of criticism so harsh and unrelenting that it gave rise to the term “Bush derangement syndrome.” It would make sense if he didn’t want to force current GOP nominee Mitt Romney to run that gauntlet as well, or if he just wanted to avoid having it resuscitated period. Whatever the former President’s motives, his tenure in office will remain out of the sun.

Posted on July 21, 2012 at 7:01amI don’t blame him, after what he went through after the 9/11 attacks with 90% approval rating (highest ever) and 50+ months of economic growth (highest ever) and how the American people turned their backs on him when all he was trying to do was keep us safe, which he did successfully.
President Bush is a class act and his refusal to stay out of politics to concentrate on wounded warriors, his presidential library and Africa, amongst other things only proves it.

Posted on July 21, 2012 at 7:54pmTHE_JERK,
Guilt for what? For our country being savagely attacked without any real warning and in trying to defend its people sent our military off to war? I don’t say this to be callous, but even as a former military member myself, that IS part of what our military is there for. That is a risk you take when joining the military during peace time and and one that you bravely take on joining during wartime. And if you plan on going off on the whole “He lied about weapons of mass destruction” tangent like so many from the left do (gee I wonder where you stand), there was enough credible evidence as well as past history of its use by such despots Saddam included in that area that I can’t fault him for expecting them to be there. I’ve been to that part of the world, I‘ve seen things that people shouldn’t see. I have a broader understanding of the bigger picture because of my background then the average Joe Citizen and Bush being in his position would have even greater operational knowledge then that (with good reason), so unless you have been there like I have or gotten the same intel briefs that we got on a daily basis then you really don’t have a clue. It’s sad really because people like you try to prey on the weak minded and they will often buy into the crap you peddle with little to no hesitation, and all you are is a snake oil salesman that is saying “don‘t listen to them listen to me I know what I’m talking about, not them.”

Posted on July 21, 2012 at 2:05pm@ Time_2_End:
Have you ever tried looking at Bush’s domestic policy record? He and his Republican buddies on Capitol Hill couldn‘t find a spending bill they didn’t like. As a Republican, I‘m assuming you’re in favor of smaller government, less spending, and lower taxes. Bush only really accomplished one of those things. Even with lower taxes, spending cuts are a must, and with such massive government programs as the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, No Child Left Behind, and Medicare part D (just to name a few, but if you’d like me to, I’ll go on), he most certainly missed the boat on cutting back.
Also, to everyone out there who accuses libertarians of being leftists in disguise, before you start throwing around factually inaccurate talking points, ask yourselves these questions (among others):
1) Would a leftist be in favor of reducing taxes as low as possible, as libertarians are?
2) Would a leftist be in favor of reducing spending as much as possible, as libertarians are?
3) Would a leftist be in favor of abolishing the Federal Reserve, as libertarians are?
4) Would a leftist be in favor of repealing Obamacare, as libertarians are?
5) Would a leftist be against the continual expansion of the nanny state, as libertarians are?

Romney should not be blamed for Bain’s outsourcing for the same exact reasons that Ron Paul should not be blamed for what his newsletters put out.

Let‘s pretend that Ron Paul didn’t write those Newsletters (it was his ghostwriter, friend and business partner Lew Rockwell) and that HIS name (Paul’s) just happened to be on those vile and disgusting little Newsletters for… well… whatever the reason.. or even by mistake eh?
Plain, simple and to the point. If Ron Paul can’t run a little DAMN Newsletter that his name is on top of and supposedly signed off on many of them.. what business has he running for President where he would be the HMFIC??? Or is that just me being…. ad hominem… in my Ron Paul attacks??

That Liberal congress is who obama should be blaming for our demise, not Bush.

I have never voted for a Democrat, and I voted for Bush both times, though I voted for Alan Keyes in the primary. I campaigned on a local level and defended Bush for the years when the media unjustly tore into him. In 2008 I looked into Ron Paul’s position to prove to myself that he was the cook I was told he was. I thought that his view on the wars was naive at best, so to prove it to myself, I went on Ron Pauls website, where he stated why he believed what he believed, and from there I did more research. It all backed up Ron Paul’s non interventionist policy, and it showed the “blow back” from our meddeling with other nations. So I became what is know here as a Paulbot! I presume that you are a Neocon and a quazi Becktart yourself.

He did his damage until 94 when the Republican Revolution swept the nation and Clinton was stopped in his tracks, in fact the Congress was able to coerce Clinton to sign the “Welfare Reform Act” which was a huge success.

So your proof that libertarians and liberals are one in the same is that we supposedly would have rather had Al Gore in 2000? A claim that has no proof and that you cannot possibly go out of your way to prove? Who‘s to say that Gore wouldn’t have done the exact same thing that Bush did? His former boss Bill Clinton wasn’t exactly opposed to starting preemptive military action on other countries (think Bosnia and Somalia). Your argument is in the same vein as leftists’ arguing that the stimulus was needed because “imagine how bad it could have been if we didn’t do it.” It deals strictly in hypotheticals and ideas that can’t be proven.
The simple fact is that libertarians didn’t want either Bush or Gore. They were both poor candidates that didn’t stand up for the principals that libertarians believe in (fiscal responsibility, small government, more power in the hands of the states and – more importantly – individuals, non-interventionism on a foreign stage, etc…). Don‘t go around making assumptions based on ideas you can’t back up.

Several provisions of the act, passed in the shell shocked period immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, caused enough anger that liberal groups like the American Civil Liberties Union had joined forces with prominent conservatives like Phyllis Schlafly and Bob Barr to oppose renewal.
GOP leaders told Bush that his hardcore push to renew the more onerous provisions of the act could further alienate conservatives still mad at the President from his botched attempt to nominate White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.
“I don’t give a *******,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.”
“Mr. President,” one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.”
“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”

This is what we need to get real change. We need small government liberty loving Congressmen. To do that we need an informed awake president. Obama will continue to do that, whereas Mitt will lull the movement back to sleep as Bush 2 did in 2000. The best scenario is that Mitt realizes that he has no spine and steps down and nominates Ron Paul. Only Ron Paul has the will, the spine, and the ideas and philosophy to restore our nation and liberty. If Ron Paul doesn’t get the nomination then vote for Gary Johnson.

Obama is a complete disaster who thinks people can only get ahead on handouts because that’s how he did it. No skills, no merit – the Nobel Prize shows you just how far affirmative action can get you. The blacks deserve a better “first black President” and I hope this guy retires with an asterisk next to his name because he never should have been handed the office. He’s a bad dream that happened while we were sleeping. We’re awake now.

Posted on July 21, 2012 at 1:17amMrBiz- what war crimes? Clinton wasn’t tried for his bombing of Kosovo, which could be seen as a sideshow to distract from his impeachment. Either get a trial and verdict, or shut your Obama-bot arse up. Bush sucked so bad, that’s why he was elected to TWO TERMS. STFU you D-Bag.

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 11:32pmBush’s biggest mistake was trying to work with the democrats, which turned around and stuck him in the back. That includes U2′s Bono too. Things were o.k til 2006 when congress changed over to the democrats.

Posted on July 21, 2012 at 12:10amSpot on. Republicans fall into the trap of compromising their conservative principles to work with democrats and end up rolling in the mud of the progressive agenda believing it will make them effective and popular – only to find out it will be exploited by the left to cast blame or share blame for the eventual failures that the progressive agenda inevitably brings.

Patriot Act
Homeland Security Act
Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act
Energy Policy Act of 2005
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
American Dream Downpayment Assistance Act
Pension Protection Act of 2006
These are just some of the socialist/police state legislation George Bush signed into law. I think George Bush would be better suited to give speeches in some European socialist country or a celebratory speech of the life of Josef Stalin in Russia.
If Obama wins at least you’ll know who the enemy is.

I read it and I disagree.
I have worked in the USA temporarily. I worked hard, accepted my pay, had a holiday in your fine country, and went home. And then I was invited back to do it again.
Everyone that I worked with, or met who was doing the same thing, was of the same mind.
On that basis, the article is erroneous, and draws it’s premise into question. That said, The US has a serious illegal immigrant problem that defies equable solution. I am glad that no-one has thought to ask me for the answer, because I would be like most of your politicians and quietly drop the problem in someone else’s lap.

“In research reported in the January 2007 issue of the journal ”Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention,” scientists from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey/Robert Wood Johnson Medical School studied the effects of soy protein supplementation on testosterone levels in healthy men. They found that subjects consuming 56 g of soy protein for 28 days had reduced testosterone levels.”

Posted on July 21, 2012 at 8:04amYea after he sent them there on lies, which lead to 8000 deaths of Americans and 1 million Arabs, I can see where he feels guilty. And what results to we have? He would do us all a favor if he came out with a “Tell All Book” kind of like the story about the guy that died of cancer , and admitted to many of the wrongs he had done in the past.
I think the burden of guilt is such that he will not live long. He does not look good in his last interview. His comment during that interview where he said he was happy that he would not be there to see what history would say about him, was telling.
