Stick a fork in him. George W. Bush is done with politics.

The ex-President told C-SPAN he has no plans to raise cash, stump for Republican candidates and even appear on television.

I came to conservatism through faith in Jesus Christ. He comes first, the Cross, then the Flag.

Hmmm, that's very nice and commendable, but it's more unsolicited information than I actually needed...

See ya!

He doesn’t owe anybody anything anyway.

You're right. With TARP he probably paid back most of his corporate benefactors.

I wish every politician felt the same way.

An apology would be manly.

Apologies are for liberal sissies.

*That actually worries me. Former President Obama might actually be able to do more harm than Former President Carter, and he’s probably going to have more time to do it.*

His family history would seem to say otherwise, but whatever.

Mega Dittos to that! Even with his sharp left turn at the end, he is still one of the great presidents of all time!

You are right about how BDS seems to affect both the left & the right! Lowers their IQ by at least 50 points!

The dude bankrupted the country by refusing to use the veto pen for the first five and a half years in office... You are guilty of posting unpleasantly accurate stuff on a Bush Thread. Very unsporting of you.

This is not accurate. Compared to the spending that started in 2006, Bush's spending doesn't compare. These are democratic talking points that you somehow thought are true .. DO SOME F-ING research then post numbers, try to make your case, which you will be unable to do. Learn how to ACT/POST RESPONSIBLY NOT LIKE LIBTARDS.

I hope he sticks to his word on this. We sure don’t need more RINO’s which is mainly what he supported anyway while in office. His silence is welcomed. How about it Poppy & Jeb? Can we please make this a family thing?

Like him or not George Bush put in 8 years as Texas governor and 8 years as president so he can do whatever he wants to. He’s done his time. Traditionally presidents don’t go around politicking after they leave office.

Bill Clinton did because he knows he has so much more to offer this world that he couldn’t do it all in 8 years. So he tried to pimp Hillary onto us. That didn’t work. So now he flies around the world shooting off his mouth and eating vegan food.

I don’t think vegan Bill is banging anything. BTW he dislikes the Russian immigrants to Isreal becuse they are against his kind of peace.

ACT/POST RESPONSIBLY NOT LIKE LIBTARDS.

Your loyalty to GW, who is a very good man, is admirable. But some awkward facts remain.
(1)The man could not develop and communicate his program.
(2) He most emphatically did not veto profligate spending and articulate sound fiscal policy. Indeed, he enabled it.
(3)He did not campaign effectively for Republican candidates
(4) He was passive in the face of an aggressive MSM and the Democrat Party.

Above all, his poor performance in managing the perception of his administration directly led to the election of Barak Hussein Obama, Jr., a radical ideologue who was not even eligible to be a candidate. When the country needed a strong leader, GW simply never had anything to say. Communications is part of the job.

Of course GW is a very good man, and may be given much more credit in the history books than I willing to give him now. But future historians will not be living day-to-day with his legacy. I am.
