Is the GOP ashamed of the Bush/Cheney legacy?

Question

We all know the hurricane is over, yet Bush will still only address his party's convention via satellite-- and only for 8 minutes. d**k Cheney has been eliminated from the program entirely.

Is this a sign of how embarrassed and disgraced the GOP is to be associated with these two men?

Answer 1

nope.  to be fair, i'd be embarrassed to be a member of either of those jokes.

Answer 2

Most of them think he can do no wrong.

I see different...

Answer 3

It's a sign of practicality. McCain needs Bush/Cheney connections like the plague. Now that he has selected a conservative VP candidate he doesn't need B/C at all.

Answer 4

The GOP ashamed?  No.

Do they know that the majority of American people are ashamed of it?  They sure do!

Answer 5

The ostensible reason is the hurricane, but most Republicans are happy to have Bush only virtually present. And listen to how often they try to disassociate themselves from Bush.
