For anyone who was wondering what the RNC would do with President Bush, the wait is over. It was announced the other day that he will speak at the Republican National Convention on Monday, September 1 - that's right, Bush is going to give his speech to the convention on the night of Labor Day.
On one hand I must say this is ridiculous to have George W. Bush, who really doesn't know the meaning of "work" or "labor" speak on the day that honors the workers of this great nation. However, on the other hand, it makes perfect sense - talk about pre-made damage control! Let Bush speak on the evening of the day when many Americans will be partying all day long so by the time he speaks many will be either too drunk to know what he's saying or still partying so they won't even be tuned in! This may be the most intelligent thing the RNC has ever done! What do you guys think? To make it a discussion, how many of you are planning to watch the Republican National Convention in general and Bush's speech in particular?

I don't even watch the DNC why on Earth would I watch the RNC?
I would have to go with the being too drunk to remember what he said. I am sure that there will be some die hard Bushers that will be watching sober and all to hang on his every word. But, I can't stand his speeches, I think he is the worst public speakers in the history of the United States.

I'm trying to think which was his most memorable - the one about OB-GYN's practicing their love on women all across the country, the one about putting food on our families, the "childrens is learning" or "Fool me once...shame on...shame on.....you............Notgonnafoolmeagain."?

See to tell you how bad I hate his speaking, I didn't know any of those. When he says ummm for the third time I shut him off. The last one is his favorite. When I read the one about the OB/GYN I just kept thinking about all the OB's that has been arrested for "sharing their love".

OMG, I was reading some of the responses and I just can't believe that people actually believe Bush was reelected LMAO
Annie, I seriously do not know how you kindly respond to some people that post to your discussions, the ones that have no clue on history, the ones that live on another planet, or the ones that have their heads burried in the sand. If I could give you more than a + I would because you don't resort to name calling, and personally I would to tell them how ignorant they are.
By the way my husband is an outside salesman, his area is all Republican. Die hard Republican famers, yesterday he seen his [/b]first[b] McCain sign. He trys not to talk politics with his customers since he is not a Republican, but some insist on talking politics and they are NOT McCain supports.

I am so glad you gave everyone a heads up on this. President George W Bush is a fine speaker, I am looking forward to his speach, I may even have it recorded so I can play it over when Im not watching the Dems fall apart in mass confusion on election night this november. I am so looking forward to McCain taking Barrack HUSSEIN (the Wanna-be)Obama to the proverbial woodshed, and give the Left FOUR MORE YEARS of REPUBLICAN DOMINATION from the Oval Office. Annie, I got my chips and dip ready for OUR BIG Republican Pep Rally. Goooooo McCain, Beat Obama. Yaaaahhhh

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I hate to say it will probably be a very small pep rally, judging from the polls. Very few Republicans are "excited" about their candidate while many Democrats are. You'd better get lots of noise-makers because when McBush starts speaking in that wonderful monotone you'll need something to keep you awake.

I know you dems and those Germans fall head over heals in love with great orators. Adolf for the Germans, Kennedy for you guys. Oh Obama is NO Kennedy. He's the proverbial " duck out of water" without a teleprompter too. Watch what happens Annie, The GOP faithful will come out of the woodwork not necessarily to vote for McCain but against Obama. More than you could imagine. Annie, Bush was re-elected during the height of our heaviest casualties in IRAQ. Why because Americans, those hard working labor types who you think Bush doesn't know much about (which you are totally wrong about) have alot of since about them, well those that haven't got there nose stuck up their AFLCIO union reps behind. Will vote for a President who puts the good of the country ahead of the extreme wing of his party's agenda. We don't want a European style Socialist "Nanny State" Government. The kind the "Looney Left" wants. We would rather have "another four years of Bush under McCain than another four years of Carter under Obama. Any Day.
Hay annie, dem Republicans gonna open up a can of peaches on election night that those democrats ain't gonna like. I got my recliner already lubed up, and the chips and dips will be piled high. Cause we gonna spank that Democrat behind in November. Wahoooo !

Good luck on finding anyone who would rather have four more years of Bush than just about anything! People from the working class were scared into voting for Bush in 2004 but that isn't about to happen again. Fortunately, some people learn from their mistakes!

Personally, I will not be watching this. And wonder why Bush would be speaking then if he will no longer be in office come January. Actually, I cannot see many people paying attention to something like this anyways. Maybe if it was a McCain-Obama debate, but not this.

So people who are rich are not allowed to speak on Labor Day. I guess if my husband wins some money and becomes an overnight millionaire, that he has the right to refuse. I will watch it. Bush is a good president, although a little boring for most. Besides as president he has to speak. He cannot refuse and say, "sorry I am a rich snob, and I never worked a day in my life, so I cannot speak or give you encouragement." That would be uncalled for. Oh except for Abraham Lincoln, most presidents have come from money. Oh he did work in his family's oil business and if I know how rich men got their sons to learn the business, it was probably from the ground up.

Suspenseful, I wouldn't take the word of a partisan democrat on whether George W Bush is or isn't a "good" president. Only history will be the final judge. There is the "hate" Bush crowd out there and no matter what President Bush is for they are against.

You couldn't pay me enough to actually watch one of these conventions, even as someone that's generally interested in politics.
That's a lie; you probably could pay me enough. But anyway...
You probably know I'm a Bush supporter, and just because he is a rotten public speaker, that doesn't mean he's a bad person, or even that he has bad ideas. And if I were him, my attitude toward the nation at this point would be ,"F^?= you all", anyway, and I would be taking the following six months off. Because I'm that kind of person.

You're right, I kind of figured out you were a Bush supporter. Why did you go off your meds? (Now, I'm joking, don't take it personal!)
Anyway, you're right, there are rotten public speakers who aren't bad people and there are even some rotten speakers who have good ideas...it just so happens that Bush isn't one of those people!

I too am really not very much interested in politics and the events associated with it. As far as my knowledge goes, Mr Bush have lots of responsibilities to handle and take many hard decisions sometimes. So people are bound to express their diffence of opinions

I have absolutely no desire to hear what he has to say anymore. I think he has had long enough to spew his lies and mess this country up just as his father did. I'm just done with him and can't wait until he is gone.
