Headline we will never see: Why hasn't George W. Bush been out on the campaign trail with Romney?

Too busy cutting brush? Isn't feeling well? What is it?

Anyone know?

1. No alcohol at Romney fundraisers?

2. Or why he probably won't come within 100 miles of the GOP national convention of 2012

like he didn't come in 2008. Republicans say Obama shouldn't dwell on the past and blame Bush. But by avoiding Bush like the plague, Republicans are painfully aware of the past themselves.

3. No one want to see his mug or think of the horrendous President he was.

4. Maybe he and Jeb will crash it.

5. For the same reason why he wasn't on the campaign trail

with McCain.

Bonus: And here's why McCain hasn't been out on the campaign trail with Romney...

6. He's either too drunk or Romney's campaign is giving him free beer to stay at home.

Or both.

7. Rmoney doesn't want him...

because Bush looks competent standing next to him. Bush at least knows the word compassion even if he is a bit (a whole lot) confused as how to exercise it. Rmoney, on the other hand has none doesn't understand the word and thinks it is a horrifying word to even use in a conversation. Bush had smart handlers even if they were evil. Rmoney has somehow managed to find stupid and evil handlers, like the one that made the Etch a sketch gaffe. And I think Bush realizes that Rmoney would be a horrible president, so horrible he would rather not help him on the campaign trail and I do think he could help if he wanted to. I think he felt the same way about McCain to a lesser degree. In any case, I am glad Bush is gone, glad he isn't helping the GOP or even trying. And I am glad Rmoney doesn't have much of a chance of winning.

8. GOP: "George, who?"

[RZM]

9. Pretty simple. They don't want him and he doesn't want to do it

Less Bush is better for everybody involved, including Bush himself. The less people hear from him, the more they will forget.

10. we're it our party, the media would be calling it a failure and pointing out the disarray

that our party is obviously in.

the memories are too painful even for the pukes to invoke. why remind people that your party fucked up the world?

[sakabatou]

11. Because everything Bush touches turns to shit.
