Were the Republicans looking for a reason to not have Bush attend the convention?

Question

Last week I started wondering if Bush was even welcome at the Convention.

Do you think he would have gone if Gustav wasn't in the picture or would they have found another reason for him to not be there?

Answer 1

Did you see him at the Olympics?  He's back to his old habits.   Bush can't detox that fast.  

Answer 2

They aren't that smart. Maybe Bush just felt weird about being in the same place as his clone.

Answer 3

I don't know if they were looking but they sure jumped when an excuse came up didn't they

Answer 4

Your question will be removed as mine was yesterday. It seems the Yahoo Rep biased employees don't like seeing the truth.

Bush and Cheney both know they are poison to their own party and America wants republicans in jail!

Convention? Right now these two idiots just figured out there will be international WAR CRIMES tribunals coming after them in 4 months!!!!

Answer 7

It's usually  your own that sell you out (LOL) not very popular but bet  they play follow the leader.

Answer 8

of course they were. for a bunch of realists, these republicans aren't being so 'real' anymore. if you bring a man in with 30% approval rate to help represent your campaign then it will definitely hurt your chances of winning the elections. they would have him stay out of it at all costs.

Answer 9

He would have had to.

I did note vote for President Bush, and I actually will defend him over other foreign leaders because he is the President of my country.  That being said, the fact he is not attending the convention can only be a blessing to those of us who truly believe that Senator McCain is the right person to be President.

Answer 10

Yes, he is welcome, he is the president. And he deserves the proper respect of any president of the USA, and if the left keeps it up about the president and their guy gets in, there will be h**l to pay...

Answer 11

yeah, of course they were (sic) and out of desparation they invented a hurricane...lmfao...only from the mind of a liberal.  sorry liberal, WORKING americans dont share your whine and welcome the president at the convention.

Answer 12

He was planning on going there... his wife Laura is there ( not sure  if she still is) I think I would want his safety to come first ( after all there are way too many  people that hate him ) in any case he would have been there if it hadnt been for this hurricane... It doesnt matter what he does or doesnt do... hes damned either way... Give the man a break and I ask again to walk a mile in his shoes and see if YOU could do any better!!!

Answer 13

McCain is happy that Bush and Cheney will not appear there,,,,,and the scaled-back convention gives the RNC more money for TV ads this fall!
