IMHO - Bush accomplished the most successful and elaborate murder ever. He had Saddam Hussein killed and got away with it. Now that is real power.

Now all you hear is the sound of crickets. Why is he not out firing up the base on behalf of his brother's flagging aspirations for President? Very, very strange that a man who once had rock star status with the conservative base is now completely forgotten.

Why is this?
Maybe if you would widen your news horizon you would have seen him more.

Because you ONLY watch MSNBC, read Huff post, Media Matters, is NO WONDER you HAVEN'T seen him.

So, whose fault is that?

The fact that you limit your news sources is NOT our faults. It is YOURS!

Who knows? He might be a welcome relief from all the nastiness. He is, after all, a pretty nice guy.
I'm sure all the dead U.S. soldiers and innocent Iraqis and people who lost everything in his "great recession" would beg to differ.

Didn't he find Saddam behind that shelf in the Oval Office?

I do watch MSNBC on occasion, usually Morning Joe, where conservatives dominate the conversation. The others I don't pay any attention to. My mainstream sources would report on his appearances, if he were making any.

I hope to see and hear from him when he starts campaigning for his brother Jeb.

"he is a decent guy but a terrible President."

I disagree.

"Contrary, Clinton was a great President but has questionable character."

I REALLY disagree with this claim.

Clinton WAS a terrible President AND a terrible person with despicable character.

Thanks to right-wingers, the GOP is de-evolving right before our eyes. At this rate, a literal clown will win New Hampshire in 2020, instead of a figurative one (Trump).
Obviously you ONLY get your "news" for media Matters and MSNBC.

Always the same B.S.

So, tell us which one did YOU support and vote for, and these are ONlY the Senate:

Dem's who voted FOR the wars:
Baucus (D-MT)
Bayh (D-IN)
Biden (D-DE) Current VP
Breaux (D-LA)
Cantwell (D-WA)
Carnahan (D-MO)
Carper (D-DE)
Cleland (D-GA)
Clinton (D-NY) Current Sec of state (Labeled Smartest women in the world by many lefties)
Daschle (D-SD) Leader of the Senate at the time and co-sponsored the bill
Dodd (D-CT)
Dorgan (D-ND)
Edwards (D-NC) Ran for VP
Feinstein (D-CA)
Harkin (D-IA)
Hollings (D-SC)

Kerry

"Morning Joe, where conservatives dominate the conversation."

As a conservative, I would disagree.

"My mainstream sources would report on his appearances, if he were making any."

"mainstream sources" List them.

None of them sent troops over to Iraq, they only authorized the President to sent troops as a last resort. Bush and only Bush gave the order to start the war.
