NEW YORK – Ann Romney will attend a fundraising lunch to raise money for husband's presidential campaign at the home of former President George W. Bush next Tuesday, a Romney campaign spokesperson confirmed. Former First Lady Laura Bush will host the lunch, which is part of a Romney fundraising swing through the GOP donor-rich state of Texas, at the couple's home in the Preston Hollow neighborhood of Dallas.
Romney campaign aides said Thursday they were unsure whether former president Bush would appear at the lunchtime event at his home, or at a separate finance event with Romney later that evening at a Dallas hotel. A Bush spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment on the former president's schedule, but one Texas Republican close to Bush said he will be in Dallas on Tuesday.
In keeping with Romney campaign policy on finance events at private homes, the fundraising lunch at the Bush home will be closed to the press.
On Monday, September 10th, Ann Romney and Laura Bush held a similar joint event together at a private home in Oklahoma City. Ticket prices ranged from $1,000 for general admission to $25,000 for a VIP reception, according to an invitation to the event posted online by the Sunlight Foundation, non-partisan group which advocates for government transparency.
Since leaving office with historically low approval ratings in 2009, the younger Bush has stayed largely out of the public spotlight. Other than telling a reporter in May that he was supporting Romney, he has not been a vocal presence in the 2012 campaign. Likewise, Romney rarely invokes the name of the most recent Republican president on the campaign trail.
Bush's father, former president George H. W. Bush and his wife Barbara have been much more outspoken Romney supporters, first backing Romney last December then formalizing their support in March with a camera-friendly sit down chat at the elder Bush's Houston office. Barbara Bush even recorded robocalls on Romney's behalf during the critical primary contest in Ohio.

Oh well that will certainly help Romney - tie him to Bush!!!!! OMG they truly ARE desperate!
Obama/Biden 2012
Too bad it is not Easter, Bush could hide his own easter eggs. Romney is really toast to latch onto the creator of the Greatest Depression ever seen.
I can just see it now, Mrs Mitt, "Oh crap, who forgot the Tupperware?"
Preston Hollow?...The super rich conclave that up until the late 90's, early 2000, DID NOT allow blacks homeownership!
Nice!
Geez, even the teatards can't defend him on this one.
I am amazed she is "lowering" herself to someone of his financial status AKA one of "you people". They are getting desperate.
The Bush family is rich - why would that bother Ann Romney? It's just a visit to gather more $$$.
Nope, I think George W. Bush holds that honor...
...the numbers for Bush's last three months. Between October and November, 597,000 jobs were lost; between November and December, 681,000 were lost; and between December and January, 741,000 were lost.
April 2012 marks the 26th straight month of gains in private-sector employment, for a total of 4.2 million private-sector jobs.

Dec 29, 2008 (Bloomberg) U.S. corporate earnings fell for a sixth-straight quarter, the longest streak in at least 20 years, as consumer spending on automobiles, homes and retailers collapsed.
May 11, 2012 Fortune magazine released its ranking of the 500 biggest US corporations Monday, which showed that they received a record-breaking $824 billion in combined profits in 2011, up 16 percent from 2010.
If you want to repeat what Bush did (After all, Romney has hired all of George W. Bush's old economic advisors!) then make sure you vote for Romney this Fall!
Never mind that NONE of the tWo Bush ex-presidents were invited to their sorry "convention" The name "Bush"means STUPID.
However, Ann Romney is not shy to TAKE ALL THE MONEY that she can hoard, as if she needed ANY.
I am sure that many people working for the Romneys don't make $25,000 a year. Using that money to help Mitt Romney trash the President is like using it as toilet paper.
Happy wiping!!!!
Poor Shady is grappling with the inescapable fact his favorite losers, Etch-A-Sketch and Lyin' Ryan, are in the tank so early in the campaign season. With the debates coming up, it is only going to get worse for them, too. I bet you $10K you remember Mitt's embarrassing performance at the GOP debates against the GOP's other bottom-of-the-barrel wannabes, right? President Obama is going to crush Willard in front of the American people! I can hardly wait!
"I'm Mitt Romney and yes, Wolf, that's my first name." -Mitt Romney at the beginning of a November 2011 Republican presidential debate in which he forgot his own name (his first name is ''Willard,'' and his middle name is ''Mitt'')
Living in north Texas it surprises even me, that I see more Obama/Biden bumper stickers than I do Romney/Ryan. This area is so damn conservative even W lives here and Cheney did while he was the head of Haliburton headquarters downtown and live in the bubble(HP).
Shady G
Red Siren over on Drudge's site exposes the Obama Administrations asleep at the switch moment with our governments protection of its' own is rather astonishing! They ignored a 48hr in advance notice of a CREDIBLE THREAT!!!!!!!
OBAMA IS THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER !!!!!!
How's that sit with you progressives?
Nosedive into concrete!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shady, Listen up! Lets say you are correct (doubtful but (BOTD) and Obama knew 48 hours in advance. 4 people died. That is tragic BUT your boy BUSH KNEW ABOUT THE PENDING WTC/Pentagon/Shanks field disaster 4 months - repeat 4 MONTHS before the event (hard verified intel BTW) and because he was finding excuses and falling down the white house stairs drunk he ignored those warnings. the result 3000+ people died that day and since then about 10,000 of our military have died and ~50,000 hurt and God knows how many PTSD and suicides.
"OBAMA IS THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER !!!!!!" With all due respect (IMHO is below whale excrement!) DON'T YOU EVER sell that horse @!$%# on any post again!!!!!!
Damn it there are times when freedom of speech should be rescinded - my son was killed in Iraq so you insulting sonofabitch STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sailcat - It is Willard Milton Romney - Mitt is a nickname which I guess should have been Mutt
A bit hypocritical for Libs to decry Romney tying himself to Bush after the way they cried when he failed to do so at the Convention. Make up your minds, Libs.
Even disgraced George W. Bush won't let Mitt into his house.
He's hardly tying himself to Bush holding a private fund raising event closed to the press. Romney wants to milk Bush's wealthy friends for all he can but wants it as low key as he can get. If you can't see the difference your hatred of Obama has fogged your vision.
Larry,
It's a shame that you Liberals are all shallow-minded enough to assume that anyone who opposes Obama is either a racist or a hater. I'm not racist, and I don't hate Obama. But I oppose his policies. Do you hate Mitt because you oppose his policies?
The comments you make on nearly every political article would indicate a hatred of Obama as most of your comments are merely attacks. I never made any reference to race you did. I hate Romneys secretive I won't tell you what I'll do but you should trust me because I'm rich attitude. But I don't know him personally so no I don't hate him.
Damn. Imagine that name on a bumper sticker! No wonder his campaign is crashing and burning!
Larry,
Wow, at least someone notices that I'm on nearly every political article! NBC hasn't noticed yet, as shown by their failure to grant me my Vineacity rating.
As to your comment, however, yes, I brought race up because it's the other side of the coin you Liberals are always flipping to see why someone is protesting against Obama. Heads and you say "Hate." Tails and you say "Race."
Can you support your ridiculous statement that I spread hate in my comments? I assume you're aware that all of our comments are saved and filed in our profiles. I would bet you money that you could spend a week paging through my past comments and fail to find even one instance of my posting anything out of 'hate' for Obama.
Also, you've failed to answer my question. Why can you protest Romney without hating him if you're going to deny me the same right when it comes to Obama?
WHAT POLICIES????? We're still waiting to hear what those are. One minute he's for it, another minute he's against it. The only consistency out of Mitt is his trashing of Obama. Hell, anyone can do that, even you. It's funny that after 4 years, this is the best you can come up with.
I Love the Romney's as human-beings and as people.
I really do.
But please Mitt, can I have an Olympic dressage-show Horse, and take it off my Taxes as an
"THERAPY HORSE"!!! Can I? Can I?
And then can you take all that Tax-Money you swindled from the US Government that equals more than what half of America earns
and LAUNDRIED that ill-gotten Loot in your phony CAYMAN ISLAND shell companies, so you can hide that stolen Money in your Hidden SWISS BANK accounts. Can you? Can you?
Well, RepublicansforObama ... I get that you like them as "people." The rest of the country cannot identify with them and while they may be good "people" they have denigrated the rest of us and basically called us serfs "you people." While it might be "their turn," it's not the best of choice for this great Nation. A Presidency should not be bought and I'm not talking Mittens money, I'm talking the Koch Brothers and Adelson. Lest you forget, the day after Ryan was announced, he was flown to Vegas to meet his new boss, creepy, crawly, Sheldon Adeldson.
Obama/Biden 2012
I can't help it. I wonder what is on the menu.
Layton,
I was being kind.
Now that you mention it, I truly believe that Mitt Romney has no heart, and he has no blood.
And his Stepford Trophy Wife?
Don't get me started,
don't even get me started.
Heck, who wants to go back to the "dark days" of the Dick ("Darth Vader-Death Star") Cheney regime,
with his usual suspects of the "little-turd" Karl Rove, (George Bush's pet-name for him), Haliburton Oil, Blackhawk mercenaries, the Koch brothers, did I mention the "little-turd" Karl Rove, etc. etc. ad infinity, ad naseum.
Let's all send Mitt Romney and his "little sidekick" Paul Ryan back to the "DUNG HEAP of POLITICAL HISTORY", ok?
Romney has no connection with the average American. None.
"(Obama) says we need more firemen, more policemen, more teachers. Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. It's time fo us to cut back on government and help the American people." —Mitt Romney at a campaign event in Council Bluffs, Iowa, June 8, 2012
"Corporations are people, my friend. Of course they are." —GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney to a heckler at the Iowa State Fair who suggested that taxes should be raised on corporations to help balance the budget, Aug. 11, 2011
"I like those fancy raincoats you bought. Really sprung for the big bucks." —Mitt Romney, making fun of fans wearing plastic ponchos during a visit to the site of the Daytona 500 Nascar race in Florida, Feb. 26, 2012
RepublicansForObama . . .
My bad. We're on the same side. Sometimes I can't read sarcasm into a post.
(and no, I still don't like them as people!) :)
FR sent!
Obama/Biden 2012
Sigh. Yet another Liberal complaining about Halliburton? Will it never end?
"The days of sweetheart deals to companies like Halliburton will be OVER when I'm in the White House" (Obama, 2008).
Who awarded a no-bid contract worth over half a billion dollars to Halliburton? I'll give you a hint: whoever it is has a name that starts with 'O' and ends with 'bama.' Any guesses?
To: Really fed up Boomer:
So you say Obama was asleep at the switch and he's the worst president ever.
Did you forget that we got attacked on 911 under Bush's watch while they ignored warnings from Richard Clark. We lost our the Twin Trade Towers our NYC financial center where thousands of Americans died, we lost a metropolis in Luisiana where thousands died not only because of Katrina but negligence by Bush while he said "Brownie you did a hell of a job" and the worst financial collapse in American history under his watch because our expensive wars of choice bled our finances while he cut taxes??? ARE YOU KIDDING?
Bush's only accomplishment was making my husband a DEMOCRAT!!
Really fed up Boomer: Sorry about your son. I believe we are actually on the same page. My previous comment indicates that I and many others remember past events and don't want anyone else to lose loved ones. I did, however, misunderstand your comment.
Damn! This should be interesting. Apparently neither family has a whit of self respect. Each family denigrates the esteem of the other. Course rats always have a better time with each other while hiding in a sewer. This will be much like Rhesus monkey's during rut time.
Given that Bush's policies were all on parade at the GOP convention, you'd have thought they'd at least have asked him to stop by and see the show.
Wouldn't you?
Looks like all Romney wants is Bush's money - as long as he doesn't show his face.
Speaking of money, did anyone else think it was just a little bit ironic for Mitt to run to Chicago and castigate the teachers for being so "greedy"?
Since he gets their yearly salary in his bank account every day and a half without lifting a finger.
Vera,
Did you forget how excellent a job Clinton with the Oklahoma City bombing or the first World Trade center bombing?
Real,
Gee...you jealous that someone makes more than someone else? How about the fact that teachers are fighting tooth and nail to not have their job performance evaluated? What's up with that? I see that the teacher's union must have not paid enough into Rahm's campaign. I bet they are regretting that now...
Hi JK: We initially did not have any intel. that any of the bombing were to happen unlike Bush who had warnings that were ignored. Yes what you stated happened on Clinton's watch but while very sad did not amount to the catastraphies under Bush's less than vigilent eye and again Bush had warnings, Clinton did not.
Yea, JK, a mindful lesson of what happened in the Clinton administration which was squandered on the next President, Mr. Bush. The perp McViey was captured and executed on Clinton's watch . As for the original bombing of the trade center, Bush should have been more vigilant under the circumstances of a second attack but was not. Totally ignored Richard Clark even ignored numerous memos that are coming out as we communicate. And don't forget that the perpetrators of the downing of the Trade Towers were either caught or executed again by a Democratic President, Obama. Bush stated that catching Osama Bin Ladin was no longer of interested to him. I guess when you stop looking you stop finding
Repubs didn't want either Bush at their convention but they will go to them to beg for money.
Wherever Bush is, he'll be 'out to lunch'.
So the GOP still needs more money? Haven't they raised enough to buy the election yet? Maybe they should suggest Romney spend some of his own money...Or would that be against his religion...
I'd like to suggest those fatcats all have a big helping of humble pie.
holy crap, Bush was not only NOT invited to the RNC, now he's not even welcomed at his own home.
How embarrassing!
At least they were sufficiently ashamed of the mess left by Party Boy Bush that they didn't invite him to speak. This is the first time a former President was treated this way, and I have to say it was deserved. I'd lay awful damn low, too, if I nearly destroyed the country I was supposed to lead.
But the snakes and spiders will be congregating at the Bush Ranch, to celebrate their ongoing efforts to enrich the rich, steal from the middle class, and dumb down America. That's the only way to maintain their foothold on our political system.
Obstruct, confuse, criticize, deflect, deny - that's all they got. Plus, having several billionaires with more money that brains helps!
JK1963
why don't you tell us how well Clinton did (or did not do as you are trying to imply). I'm sure you have some legit sources to back up your claim.
The Oklahoma bombing was orchestrated by a U.S. citizen and it came from nowhere. Timothy McVeighwas caught, prosecuted, found guilty and punished.
there were no warnings for the 1st WTC bombing but there were many warnings prior to 9/11 which Bush totally ignored - he was too busy pretending to be the landscape boy at his ranch while on vacation.
Starderup
the Republicans want to pretend they are not ashamed to be linked to Bush so they will have lunch with his wife instead. But just in case, Bush will be "busy" at that time so that there is no opportunity for anyone to be photographed with George - even with Georgie in the background.
bayllie,
I'm sure you can tell us that Bush knew the exact time and place for the 9/11 attacks, right? I'm sure you can tell us that Bush knew the number, the names of the people that were going to highjack the planes, right? And I'm sure you can tell us why Clinton couldn't catch Osama back before Bush came into office, right?
Annie fundraisers for the Crook !!!!!!!!!!!!
Annie said only the little people pay taxes !!!!!!!!!!!!!
JK1963
you must choose to ignore all the info that's out there because I don't think you are that stupid.
The 9/11 Commission stated there were more than 40 intelligence articles in the PDBS [Presidential Daily Briefings] from January 21 to September 11 that related to Bin Laden.
In the spring of 2001, the level of reporting on terrorist threats and planned attacks increased dramatically to its highest level since the millennium alert.
Reports similar to many of these were made available to President Bush in morning intelligence briefings with DCI Tenet, usually attended by Vice President Dick Cheney and National Security Advisor Rice.
On June 25, Clarke warned Rice and Hadley that six separate intelligence reports showed al Qaeda personnel warning of a pending attack.
On June 28, Clarke wrote Rice that the pattern of al Qaeda activity indicating attack planning over the past six weeks "had reached a crescendo.
The headline of a June 30 briefing to top officials was stark: "Bin Ladin Planning High-Profile Attacks."
In mid-July, reporting started to indicate that Bin Ladin's plans had been delayed, maybe for as long as two months, but not abandoned. On July 23, the lead item for CSG discussion was still the al Qaeda threat, and it included mention of suspected terrorist travel to the United States.
On July 27, Clarke informed Rice and Hadley that the spike in intelligence about a near-term al Qaeda attack had stopped. He urged keeping readiness high during the August vacation period, warning that another report suggested an attack had just been postponed for a few months "but will still happen."
The August 6 Presidential Daily Brief titled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US." It was the 36th PDB item briefed so far that year that related to Bin Ladin or al Qaeda, and the first devoted to the possibility of an attack in the United States.
The President told us the August 6 report was historical in nature.
These are just parts of a very lengthy article which you can read here:
http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/911/report/911Report_Ch8.htm
The point is that Bush continued his vacation because clearing brush at his TX ranch was more "fun" than spending time, money and other resources to follow up on all the screaming intel.
CubsFan2012 #1.20~~Which of Obama policies do you dis-agree with?
Which Romney policies do you agree with?
To all you that say Bush was not invited to the RNC -- Bush himself decided not to go as he knew he would be the center of attack from you libs. Since he didn't go and they didn't mention him, you attacked anyhow. He's being used by you to continue the assault and excuses that everything is his fault yet you fail to mention that the last 2 yrs of his administration you dems held both house and senate. To all of you that are talking about Ann Romney and the uber rich you fail to mention all the fund raisers that Michelle attended with the uber rich! Get over your jealous selves, you are so transparent. What's the matter not getting enough of the taxpayers $$$?
Ann Romney should be doing lap dances for contributions. The GOP and Tea Baggers should get something for their $$$.
I can't wait to hear her story about the night she had to spend in the Bush's wood locker because they simply had too few bedrooms. Poor baby.
LEB, nobody wants to see that! I also agree, tie yourself to Bush. Is Dick Cheney going to be there? Hunting out back maybe? Better wear an orange safety vest just in case. Or she could go out and buy another $7000 dress and just have it made in orange. Or neon green. That would be sweet.
In all seriousness, I am amazed daily at the dribble that comes from this campaign. I don't vote a straight party and I have voted for the person. But this is another year where I just can't see voting for someone who has destroyed so many lives right in his own backyard. Buying up companies, bankrupting them, pocketing millions with his "buds" and moving on while people go to the soup line and the unemployment office. This man will serve a select 1% of the population and the rest he will not lose a wink of sleep over.
BTW-where's those tax returns Mitt? How much of your money is overseas? That issue isn't going away. Bring them on. Were getting closer to the election. Tick Tock Tick Tock!!!
Wow, Bush was afraid to go to the GOP convention because he might get attacked by liberals?
I knew the party had swung right, but I didn't realize that the neocons had gotten too far right for even the GOP delegates!
Is it just me, or do the Romneys' use of the Bushes vis-a-vis fundraising remind anyone else of using a really ripe stinkbait when you go catfishing?
Good one gcooper8! LMAO
WHERE IS VoMitt's TAX RETURNS?
WHAT IS VoMitt HIDING?
Never even a mention of Bush during this entire campaign. But now that there's money to be had? The Romney's have no shame.
No kidding tony ... for once I have to say the Bush family is being a heckofa lot more gracious than the Romney's were at their convention!
well, what have they (the Bush's) have to lose? It will be nice to have visitors, any visitors, even if it is the Romney's. I wonder if good neighbor, Ted Nugent, will swing by to say hi?
Nawwww Ted can't make it ... he's sending Chuck Norris and his sweet little punkin .....
Fundraiser or not. This is just what he needed. A photo-op with George and Mitt, or George and queen Anne, or both, should cost Willard about 10 more points by noon.
Amazing campaign strategy. Just amazing. Willard will have both feet bandaged.
There'll be no photo's with Bush as the article states it's closed to the press.
Willard just wants to try on the shoes that the reporter gave Bush in Iraq.
Romney has 17 Bush advisers out of 24 on his staff. He wants you to believe that he has fresh ideas. He can't tell you them without you noticing that it sounds like the same old song that nearly sunk us.
Do you miss me yet? Not just no. HELL, NO!
Romney should go to Libya, Egypt & Yemen for his fundraisers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"tonybeeerm
Never even a mention of Bush during this entire campaign. But now that there's money to be had? The Romney's have no shame."
But Obama's campaign asking people to have donations made to Obama instead of receiving wedding presents is not in the least shameful?
JC1016889
"but know that there is money to be had, the romneys have NO SHAME"
Agreed, pathetic; shows their LACK of Character...
Just what is HIDDEN in thoseTAX RETURNS???
OBAMA/Biden 2012
Will Queen Annie be bringing some of her famous "Welsh Cakes"? lmao
That's right Queenie, you just wrap yourself in all things "BUSH"!
No, but I'm sure they will be serving tuna sandwiches for lunch . . . . and reminiscing about their "poor" days
Oh Feisty! Them in Texas may think that Welsh Cakes is a bad word. What happened to Fried eggs, beer, Camel Cigarretes and Rolaids???
Or perhaps Queenie will bring her "therapeutic" dressage horse to the Bush ranch and they can have themselves a good ol' fashioned rodeo! I only hope she doesn't make the poor horse ride on the roof of her Cadillac like they make their family dog travel, though.
"Who let the dogs out? Who, who?" —Mitt Romney, during an awkward photo op with a group of African Americans kids at a Martin Luther King Day parade (January 2008)
More like "Who let the FIBs out?"
Now you know they don't eat no furrin food in Texas. Why, they even renamed french fries "American fries".
Annie better bring some cow pies.
Is Annie bringing her horse to be Bushwacked for the dog ??????????
Could horse pies be a tax right off ????????????
I understand that Dubya will not make an appearance in his own home. Sorry, Ann. He'll be hiding out in the gardening shed with his giant bag of pretzels and a baseball game on the telly...
picture it now - Missy Mittens will not say nothing about nothing and W won't shut up.
I think Rove used all his brain cells trying to make W smart he has none left over for Mittens - but boy could Mittens use some
HEADLINE: Robot Housewife at Iraq Murderer's House for Fund Raiser! ...........Not THIS will bring in the votes.
Freddy, a HOUSEWIFE cooks, cleans, does laundry, washes dishes AND raises her kids and all that without the help of a 15-member cleaning/childcare staff.
Hell of a lot of arrogance, hatred and criminality all in one place.
Think about the frustrations gopers and other bigots experience when they gather amongst themselves - no poor people, minorities or REAL Americans to abuse and ridicule.
They could always put up that youtube flick and watch that.
Nor to serve them unconditionally...
I guess it's safe for Romney not to be seen together with Bush since the press is not allowed, just the $$$! No fear of photo ops!
You know your $hit is sinking/stinking if you have too get Gee Dubya's help....
When Bush opens his door, she will be there holding up a puppy, saying "but we ALLLLLL bundle"
LOL! That ad cracks me up. She really does look like her.
drive-by, though I never agree with you, that was funny! :}}
I love the story that Ann Romney told in an interview where she and Mitt were so poor while married and in college that they sold some of their stock portfolio!! What, a stock portfolio while in college???
Some people act as though they hit a home run when they were actually born on third base!
That may be why they think kids who don't have money for college should just borrow it from their parents. Surreal.
It's like watching a scene from "Legally Blonde", or "Clueless".
Except they mean it.
He also stated that if you want to start a business, you can just borrow money from your parents. These people have absolutely no idea what most of the country goes through just to survive.
I want to give $100,000 to the Obama campaign. Should I borrow that from my parents, too? LOL @ the Wrongme's warped view of reality.
Their idea of poor is having to sell one of their six mansions, or cut back on the Cadillacs. Them trying to look like real people is like a square peg in a round hole.
I'm starting to smell a bigger route than in '08...
Why didn't they borrow from Momma and Daddy.
They had to sell some of their stock portfolio? Oh the horrors!
A picture of W and Mitt would be priceless.
Here's one, but it sure wasn't taken at the RNC. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/43806
******************************
Behind the scenes, Republicans close to Romney's campaign say there are no plans to use Bush in a significant way and that the signal from Romney's Boston headquarters — it's loaded with veterans of Bush's two successful campaigns — is that any role for Bush would be minimal at best. The Republicans, who insisted on anonymity to discuss strategy, said Romney's team will determine, if it hasn't already, how best to recognize Bush at the party's national convention in August in Florida, where Bush's brother, Jeb, was governor.
******************************
It is clear that Bush's advisers have simply been transferred to Wrongme. That's the policies he will back. Back is an appropriate word. We'll be going back.
Do you baggers REALLY want to relive the Bush years? I sure don't.
Now isn't that special? Who cares? The Romneys couldn't even have George W. appear at the Republican convention and now they are pandering to them for money? Pathetic - all of them.
Maybe Queen Ann can explain how her husbands defense of the Egyptian born criminal and meth cooker Nakoula Basseley Nakoula's HATE MOVIE is a defense of AMERICAN VALUES.
Hahahahaha! Kiss of death!
Stupids! Why do you think George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were conspicuously absent at the Republican national convention? Because, no matter how stupid the Republican party may act publicly, privately they know that Bush/Cheney, with their destruction of the American economy, is the political kiss of death!
I guess Romney and his wife never got the memo! Goodbye Romneys, I will see you in 4 years!
Desperate, really desperate
If the loss is sufficiently painful for Wrongme, this should be the last we see of Mr. Flip Flop.
I hope so. I would like to see Hillary run in 2016. Or even Michelle Obama. Maybe Hillary for Pres, Michelle for Vice. Sounds like a winner to me!
Geo-3053278 - OMG Republican's heads would explode!!!! Hillary and Michelle???? That's one I'd LOVE to see!
Obama/Biden 2012
Wouldn't that be great!!
...and Bill Clinton Secretary of State! I really think I'm on to something here....unless of course I fail to remember in my Civics class if a past president can be Secretary of State. But personally, I think that would be a trio that would kick butt and take names and run this country the way it needs to be! All of them have the qualifications, experience and education to do the job and do it well, and married to people that can help and advise them. Let's roll!
I can't think of anything nice to say, so I will say nothing at all except:
..........oh well......still can't think of anything...................................
Birds of a feather flock together.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!!! Keep Republicans very far away from the White House.
Obama/Biden 2012
Nah, it's "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice....we won't get fooled again!"
Probably my favorite W. quote of all time.
That's the only thing I do miss. The Bushisms. Romney would be a close second, though.
"I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that's the America millions of Americans believe in. That's the America I love." –Mitt Romney (January 2012)
"The America I love loves peas, but American peas. I love American peas, too, like most Americans. But the American peas I love are the same peas that America loves, and that's why I love America." - me, the other night.
"I'm not familiar precisely with what I said, but I'll stand by what I said, whatever it was." —Mitt Romney (May 17, 2012)
"I said something, and that's my stand. Whenever I say something, I mean it, and whatever I said, I meant it." -me, just now.
"Fool me twice... got fooled, we won't get fooled again."
George W, you could not pay me to attend, he was the biggest embarrassment to the office of the president in the last 100 years
Oh, I definitely disagree. I couldn't stand him as President either, and although I'm sure he'd be quite entertaining to hang out with for an evening, I just couldn't resist an opportunity to ask him.
"What the hell were you thinking?"
George could think? I thought Darth Cheney did all the thinking and pulled the strings to make him talk.
still 100% better than the current clown in office.
You are still just as blind as Ray Charles.
Yes, I have heard it enough to know that he is the worst president of all time, and he actually was named that by many people and news organizations before he even left office.
His name in the history books is going to be George W. Mud.
Last 100 years? Maybe ever.....
As a native Texan, it’s disappointing, though not surprising, that a Romney would come here to raise money.
Thing of it is, it’s money being poured down the drain so there is some satisfaction in that.
Stupid republiCons, their party has left them and has morphed into a psychotic rightwing joke of a movement. GOP? Greed Over Principles.
Willard is a tax and draft dodging liar. His wife is just out pimping him. Guess she has stable fees to pay.
Willard - the Presidency is NOT just another acquisition you can by, raid the pension fund, break up and sell off the pieces. Please go away and take your unrelenting greed with you.
We’ve already experienced the disaster 8 years of failed GOP policy can do to this country, why on earth would we want any more?
If nothing else, the Koch Brothers and Adelson are stimulating the economy. The bad part is that they are all in it together, and that money is going to right wing extremists like the guy that made that film.
If we could only discover the links that tie this to Romney, it would be the most wonderful discovery since beer.
Think of how many folks could have been fed with all those $10 Million checks - all of which will now be for naught...
ryan/romney can't even buy the election...get lost mittens..maybe you can find your tax returns
The Romney's now attach themselves to Bush. LOL they thought he was poison at the convention now he is okay??? Must really kill you right wingers that Obama is now pulling way ahead of Romney 7 points and rising. Its lights out for the Romney/Ryan ticket.
Bush wasn't even invited to the GOP convention
Hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha
Maybe because he left the worst depression in 80 years
Funny how the GOP tries to revive Carter...a president who has a better job record than Bush.
Of course a Romney would cozy up to the worst president in us history.
They want to grab more money and move to one of their tax havens before they destroy us further.
Probably looking for decorating tips
He's cozying up to Obama?? Whoa, I missed that article apparently.
Your post is nothing but lies.
Bush was FAR worse increasing the National Debt than Carter. That is one thing the republicans HAVE BUILT.
Look up "national debt by president" to learn the facts. Democrats, including President Obama, added to the debt far less than any republican.
Same with the economy, jobs, stock market. All these areas have historically done better under Democratic administrations than republicans. Read it and weep. Then wipe your eyes, and get that damn teabagger obstructionist coalition out of there.
I'm guessing that CF2012 misses quite a lot...
There's something very telling about W. having a fund-raiser and Romney sends his wife.
It says something about W.'s legacy, and how the Republican base views him.
It should also say something to voters about their party too.
This will help Obama also... He also missed the briefing regarding this.

Amazing how the American so called press missed this detail... NOT!!!
lol, these idiots could not care less about the disgrace obama has brought on americans.
they wont say anything to you auntie....they cant.
He hasn't brought any disgrace on me.
Keck meant to say Obama has disgraced those Americans who enjoy walking around clothed in sheets and wearing pointy hats. The president hasn't disgraced normal Americans.
That's funny because Barbara Bush was quoted a little while ago as saying the Republican candidates this time were the worst she'd ever seen. She didn't say "except for Romney". It would also be nice if GWB could show a little class for once and try to stay out of partisan politics now that he's had his chance. Isn't that what ex-presidents generally do -- try to stay neutral and support the president in office and keep their partisan opinions to themselves?
When McCain was asked if seeing Romney's tax returns was the reason he wasn't selected as his vice president he stated no he just thought Palin was the better candidate. Ouch.
As embarassing as Palin was, at least she has a pulse and didn't malfunction and insult chocolate chip cookies, our closest allies and everyone else when her batteries ran down.
I think we should all try to crash the party. Oh that's right they live in one of those super rich guard gated communities.
Palin could teach Romney a lesson. She wrote on her hands. Romney could write all the stuff he is for on his right arm and the stuff he is against on his left arm. This way, he won't forget when he is in an interview. Unless he gets the arms mixed up.
Larry - we are now finding out that Palin was a better candidate.
You're absolutely right.
Considering that Romney has hired almost all of Bush's/Cheney's advisors, his direction for this country is direct, back to the Bush Whitehouse, more wars for profit, less monies for Americans pockets. Almost seems a choice between “Good or Evil”.
Relating to the Bush's, who almost all Americans are disgusted with, just doesn't seem to be a very smart move for Romney.
Sorry Mitt...You won't be moving into the White House.
I wonder why you feel you would be a better President for the United States? You would be lieing through your teeth for the next 4 years and I would be sick watching you with your smerk. You might be a nice guy but, I don't like you for all your lies and no truth in your words. I DON'T TRUST YOU ONE BIT!!!!
You must be an expert. If you can't see the last 4 years of lieing by Obamaloony. You have relinquished your authority to express your ignant blather...ps. as well as we being suspect of your intelligence Quotient
