Why didn't Bush or Cheny show up at their own Convention?

Question

That's never happened in the history of the USA

Kinda makes you Wonder !

Answer 1

Because they are so unpopular. And Bush showed up but via satellite. The Hurricane was an excellent excuse not to show up.

Answer 2

Because the Republicans know they are the most unpopular and worst administration in American history.

Answer 3

They are hoping the electorate will forget that they and McCain are interchangeable.

Answer 4

Shhhh. You aren't supposed to see the puppeteers only the puppets. I mean, plus, they all think the same way, having more than one of them there would have been overkill.

(Actually Bush was there though, but I just want to play along)

Answer 5

Hurricane. He still addressed the convention.

Answer 6

Cheney considers the convention a target-rich environment - full of rich white Texas lawyers.

Answer 7

McCain is seeking to distance himself from the current administration.

Answer 8

The Secret Service couldn't protect him.

You see how good a job they did tonight.

or

Picture this.........his name is poison.

Even their own party would have been throwing darts at him.

Answer 9

Bush did show up idiot  

Answer 10

The GOP don't want to be seen with an unpopular President...

Answer 11

They were 'busy' with the Hurricane season upon us...

Answer 12

If you were Bush or Cheney, would you have showed up?

Answer 13

It's not their convention. It's the Republican convention.

It's not the 1st time in history a sitting President hasn't attended. LBJ did not attend the 1968 convention.

Before you decide to smear someone, it would probably be helpful if you knew a few facts. You'll appear much less ignorant.
