As I understand, W has made a conscious decision not to impose himself on the election process, it being a traditional practice among former presidents. That Clinton thinks he's still relevant is his own decision.

W has, in his own quiet but meaningful way, endorsed Romney. He doesn't feel a need to make a spectacle of himself.

I miss W. I would vote for him again, in a heartbeat.
You have no idea what Bush has cost you and the nation.

Bush is enjoying his retirement.

He contributes to numerous charities and volunteer groups, but the one he seems to spend the most time with honors wounded veterans.

I wish people has to pass an IQ test in order to vote.

We'd eliminate this problem of voting while under the influence of imbecility.

You wish people has to pass an IQ test?

Before you insult GWB's intelligence, you should ensure that your spelling is correct.

Lightbulb Where is "W"?

Sad, isn't it?

The GOP has two living former presidents and they keep them hidden from the public like leppers.

GW made an early endorsement of Romney, but has chosen to stay out of the limelight. Conversely, Ron Paul got his ass kicked in the primaries, but the old fool refuses to recognize his irrelevancy. By refusing to endorse Romney, Paul essentially has endorsed Obama. It will be a great day when this RINO leaves Washington.

Therefore, it's imperative that he put more effort into trading in his image as a lying philanderer. Conversely, George W. Bush merely needs to let history play out and prove to the world that a quasi democracy in the heart of the Middle East was ultimately the right thing to do.

Who has it worse? Someone who will forever be known as the man who put a cigar in Monica Lewinsky's orrifice, or the guy who sought to foster democracy in the Middle East?

All things considered, OF COURSE Bill Clinton would force himself into the spot light. He has a lot of ground to make up if he's to have a positive legacy.
This is as delusional as it gets. LMAO...

If there was an election right now between Slick Willie and Bush, Bush might be lucky to win even his home state. It would be Reagan vs Mondale all over again. The returns for W would be laughable.

Even with Clinton's foibles and impeachment, Bush simply doesn't rate against him. Clinton's legacy is solid, Bush's is a joke. Who invites W to ANYTHING? Nobody, that's who. He's a disease...a walking Texas Ebola virus. Romney would rather run through a fire with gasoline underwear rather than be seen with Bush.

All of you Bush apologists, please stop with the damn sugarcoated excuses for why he's not around because that's bullshyt and you know it.

Now as you were...
