Forgiving and forgetting war crimes isn't in the cards. George W Bush is a war criminal, like his father before him.Only those on the right forgive and forget.

Yes, I sucked at them, now go ahead and help me. You're my only hope.
W has been laying low since he left office. He isn't an attention whore like some former presidents. He doesn't try to make millions of dollars a year making speeches. He's retired. He paints pictures and spends time with his family.
Yes, they singled out the one statement that is wrong in your post. You said something that was false. They didn't use it to claim the rest of your post was false. Just admit you posted a false claim that Bush didn't try to earn millions making speeches after his presidency.That is what I said.
I pointed out that W is laying low unlike other former presidents. Him not showing up at the convention would not be a surprise in the least. And that is IF that happens.
Instead people chose to focus on one sentence out of the entire post. They left out part of that sentence. If they can single out a tiny part of a post to tweak its context, I can single them out for leaving out part of that tiny part to call them out.

We can debate whether or not he is laying low later. I just saw him on TV during a golf broadcast a few weeks ago FFS. When it comes to the 2016 race, yeah he is laying fucking low because his presence will only hurt the party.
Again...I didn't claim that.
I didn't say he was holed up in a bunked. I said he was laying low. And he is compared to say...I don't know....Clinton. That was the point I was making which is relevant to this thread. If you want to debate about how much money he is bringing in, make a thread about it. This is the thread to debate if he is laying low or not. Stop trying to derail it.

You absolutely did claim that. Your words are right there for everyone to see. No you didn't claim he was in a bunked which is why eskimo didn't claim you said he was in a bunked. Eskimo claimed you said exactly what you said.
Eskimo did not claim I said exactly what I said. He conveniently edited my post as he does too often. If it were you who had made that post, things would be entirely different. But he has a long track record of lying about what people said and attacking the lies he tells instead of the real post. I will continue to call him out every single time he edits posts, lies or pretends someone said something they didn't. He was made elite for his posts in this forum. I hold him to a higher standard in this forum.

If Jeb ends up as the Republican candidate (and I think he will), will it look strange if his brother is forbidden from attending his rallies and events, including the National Convention? In the 2012 election, W' wasn't invited. Will it look weird if he's not invited to the 2016 convention when his brother becomes the party's candidate?
RudeGuys point is that George W has kept his mouth shut about most policy items and generally doesn't whore himself out to speeches and businesses unlike Cheney.
Am I correct RudeGuy?
Yep.
Most of his speeches are closed to the press. My intention was to compare him to Clinton without calling Clinton out. I chose poor wording and for that I throw myself upon the mercy of the forum.
In case you hadn't noticed, W has been laying low since he left office. He isn't an attention whore like some former presidents. He doesn't try to make millions of dollars a year making speeches. He's retired. He paints pictures and spends time with his family.
The answer to the OP's question is: Who knows? The question is the op is IF Jeb gets nominated what IF W isn't invited? I dunno. What IF Hillary Clinton is found out to be a pod person and what IF she is still nominate?
Which is not what he said that I said.
I never personally attacked him. I pointed out that he lied again and that he can't help lying. Which if he can help lying makes him even worse of a person for doing it on purpose.

Again I am not a Bush supporter however I will give him credit he is acting like a classy former President. He doesn't talk about current policy, he doesn't go on soft ball news shows to ramble on about garbage.
This is a very good point. Whatever his other faults are he had the good sense to let his successor try and run the country without undermining him. This is a good example for all ex-presidents that I hope Obama follows.
If only someone could have notified Dick Cheney that this was what you were supposed to do. That guy has been an embarrassment.
There is a reason why his campaign slogan is jeb! And why he doesn't mention his brother or father by name. The bush family doesn't have a very good history with regards to America.
