Will never be nominated - he is too sane and not enough of a kiss ass to the loony extreme right wing of the party.

Yes, I realized that. If you thought that meant that only Americans were permitted to comment, you were mistaken.

President Bush has a nice ring to it.

Of course given the dynamics of global politics and economics, those things could happen no matter who is elected President...

Ya think? :lol:

Personally, I don't think a president can do all that much to stave off the inevitable, but some leadership to work and ability to negotiate and with congress could help (although I'm not counting on it given the group of potential candidates I've seen).

Right now I'd vote none of the above.

But the worst economic collapse in 80 years and the worst military decision, hm, ever, have only happened with Republican presidents.


And Bush III is weasel-wording about Iraq already. 'if we knew then what we know now.' When the truth is there was no evidence of WMD, Bush II made it up.

I don't think the House Republican Caucus is allowed to do that. Ain't there rules?

The 'pants on fire liar' was Bush.

You have not shown that there was any evidence of WMD at all. Hans Blix showed that there was not. Bush lied to everyone about it and unfortunately a lot of people believed him.


No evidence of WMD = No WMD = No casus belli.


Bush lied and we're still paying for it. ISIS is his doing.

Rube I'm very reluctant to say this, (because you've proven me wrong about it so many times) but at this point, not even you can possibly be stupid enough to honestly believe that garbage, since the proof to the contrary has been presented to you so many times...

Even a person with your memory issues must be able to retain that, so at this point it can't be stupidity that explains it; just flat out lying...

Probably for the purpose of trolling me...

I've handed you your ass so thoroughly, so often, on so many topics, for so long, this is just your pathetic little way of trying to get back at me; by trying to annoy me with the mindless repetition of this (and other) discredited BS...

Let me tell you that it is not annoying so much as amusing, because I know what you're doing... ;)

It's a poor substitute for actually winning a point with facts, but it's the best you can do... :D

I'd love to see Kasich pull it off...

But I just don't see how he can win it...(He's going to announce late; sometime this summer so he can get the Bush people to hedge their bets and he won't be just one more announcer...)

Kasich/Rubio, the two most popular politicians in Ohio and Florida...

Now that's a ticket to go against Team Clinton with... :ok

Still, you have produced no evidence of WMD which Bush had. Neither has any Bush apologist.


On the facts, I am exactly right. No evidence of WMD and substantial evidence that there was none. They immediately tried to slander Hans Blix who has been proven right all along.


Bush's lies have cost more than 1 trillion dollars and created ISIS.
