(26,289 posts)He's already stated that any GOP losses aren't his fault. GWB would be a prime target to take some of the heat for any defeats.
Just a guess, mind you.

(8,515 posts)But a Coward? That's Diff.. I'm surprised you don't get it! Wants to be remembered as the tough guy who brought us all together on 911.. Not so tough these days is he.. My Point!
As to your sarcastic reply? .....Why?

(26,502 posts)his daddy put him in the national guard. All the way through the 2000 election when Gore got in his face and he looked like he was gonna shit himself. How is any of this a surprise?

(8,515 posts)The stuff you mention is hardly worth calling him a coward..I would have wanted my Dad to get me into the national guard.. as well. Your other point is your interpretation...Millions upon Millions voted for him.. I don't think they saw him as Coward.
His performance after 911... Thats the thing people remember him by.. He was a tough guy...which is bullshit.
His actions of not calling Trump out.. While other Ex-Presidents have... Shows me the the real coward!

(26,502 posts)was and needed your daddy to bail you out. Then you'd be a coward too. That's the definition of a chicken hawk. The way he punked out after McCain called him out after South Carolina also showed him for what he was. I could give a shit what his supporters thought he was. Many of us right here saw him for the cowardly punk ass he always was. If you couldn't see through his bullshit image. I don't know what to tell you.

(8,515 posts)Man.. you are a tiring one trick pony....
You seem to be deaf to what I am saying.. I am telling you (for the last freaking time).. I know he's an asshole.. You don't seem to get that I get what you are trying to say.Bas
Please listen to me...Basically, what I am saying and you can't seem to get is this is:
George W Bush is still a very appealing ex-president to millions.of ignorant Americans.. To them he was The tough guy who pulled the world together after 911..(Tough Guy) THEY THOUGHT!!!!
I did not think that.... How come you can't get that?
I'm just saying that he's a big fake punk..That was accepted by millions of Americans as being a tough guy.. 911.tough guy....Then a tough guy for invading Iraq.. Millions of Americans saw him as a tough guy..
Obviously he was not.. But to many Americans he was.
My original post was directed to those Americans ..... Get It Now?

(26,502 posts)you're having to explain yourself to "a one trick pony". Maybe next time say what you mean from the beginning. Second, as you can tell from a number of replies below. I'm not the only one who felt the need to point out to you how silly this whole screed was. Why you're fixated on my reply. Who knows.

(26,629 posts)He helped pave the way for this, and I doubt that he's got many policy differences with Dump. I would guess that he's quite happy to have a president in office who's considered even worse than him.
People seem to be forgetting just how awful he was. Just because Dump is even worse doesn't detract from how horrible GWB was.

(11,744 posts)Too early for April Fools.
Bush Jr. was not a good president and while he wasn't as overt an ass, he did horrific things that Trump has actually not yet done. Overall Trump is worse, I mean we are only 2 year in and he has our institutions in shambles, but remember that Bush and his crew came up with the Patriot Act, the legalization of Torture, the never ending GWOT including invading Afghanistan and Iraq (which had nothing to do with 9/11). Remember Bush, "Osama Bin Laden isn't a priority" when capturing him and "bringing him to justice" was our whole reason for going into Afghanistan? Remember Bush dancing and kissing the Saudis?
Bush is not a narcissistic POS, but he would never stand up and point out any Republican "Political Crisis" not when he gave us Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales, Karl Rove, etc...

(38,439 posts)........"did horrible things.............."
Like getting us into a war.
......killing thousands of U.S. soldiers, ...and
........tens of thousands of people living in Iraq...for what reason????
.........leaving countless people disabled..?
So, Bush Jr. wasn't an asshole in the same way that Trump is..but...at this point, if Trump does not get us into a war.....................................
............................................then Trump, no matter his speech and attitude.......is much, much better..
Oh, someone doesn't like this..........well.....................................
.............................................................................................It is the truth

(22,236 posts)Democrats and others was because of the ongoing feud between Trump and the Bushes.
Bush is an enemy of Trump, but the saying "Any enemy of Trump is a friend of mine" does NOT apply to Bush who is the second worst president in history with Trump being the worst of all time.

(38,439 posts)...Trump is an fucking asshole, and a stupid big mouth...Bush Jr. is in a class much worse..look at these numbers:
Iraq War deaths and wounded.....
As of June 29, 2016, according to the U.S. Department of Defense casualty website, there were 4,424 total deaths (including both killed in action and non-hostile) and 31,952 wounded in action (WIA) as a result of the Iraq War.

Credible estimates of Iraq War casualties range from 151,000 violent deaths as of June 2006 (per the Iraq Family Health Survey) to 461,000 total deaths as of June 2011 (per PLOS Medicine 2013), over 60% of them violent.[1] Other disputed estimates, such as the 2006 Lancet study and the 2007 Opinion Research Business (ORB) surveywhich likely overestimate mortalityput the numbers as high as 655,000 total deaths as of June 2006 (over 90% of them violent) and 1.2 million violent deaths as of August 2007 respectively. Meanwhile, body countswhich likely underestimate mortalityput the numbers as low as 110,600 violent deaths as of April 2009.[1]
