[Chicken Little]

nice i knew some of that but not all of it lol serves the bastard right too i hope he gets shot in the face for it.

[nightsavior]

man i thought bush sucked to begin with....but i didn't know he screwed things up this bad! just goes to show you inbred texan blood lines with monkey like characteristics were not meant to rule a country. i remember when everyone was down on clinton just because he had an affair....still despite his personal life at least bill was a good president.

[Wallie Wildo]

damn he screwed up more then i thought but i hate him even more now

[Lancet Jades]

Hmm....idgaf....please cite what exact sources you acquired all this info from, please :)

[Zelphiel]

I've seen about half of it in the news and the papers....

[Jeff]

he entered office with the strongest economy in US history an in less than two years turned every single economic category heading straight down

Bush didn't have a strong economy to begin with. The democrats always forget to tell you that the economy wasn't in great condition in Clinton's last year. Plus, where in the Constitution does it say that it's the President's job to control the economy? It's just politics, it's about like saying it's the President's fault that you get diarrhea.

43: he has removed more freedoms and civil liberties for Americans than any other president in US history

Care to elaborate? Gay marriage was never a freedom to begin with, nor a civil liberty. It's been illegal since this country was founded. Plus, President Clinton signed the "Defense of Marriage Act", banning gay marriage in all means anyway.

40: he is the first president in US history to have a majority of the people in Europe (71%) view his presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and stability


Countries like France and Spain were paid off by Hussein from the beginning. Their leaders are nothing but biggots who will do anything for a dollar. Maybe they wouldn't view it that way if there were more "Madrid train bombings" Spain's got the attitude of "if we leave them alone, they won't attack us". We left them alone, but still yet they attacked us because we're allied with Israel.

37: he is the first president to run and hide when the US came under attack (and then lied, saying the enemy had the code to Air Force 1)

That's the most dumb assed ****ing statement I've ever read in my life. Do you really expect the President to go to the White House when it might get attacked by a terrorist? There were also fears that Air Force 1 might get attacked in the air by them.

35: the biggest lifetime contributor to his campaign, who also a personal friend, presided over one of the largest corporate bankruptcy frauds in world history (Kenneth Lay, former CEO of Enron Corporation)

Lay did this, not Bush. That's about like your best friend going out and killing someone and then saying since you're a friend of his you are just as responsible.

30: he rendered the entire United Nations irrelevant

As I said earlier, the UN against us was a bunch of paid off individuals. Watch the news sometime.

24: he is the first president in US history to order a SU attack and military occupation of a sovereign nation, and did so against the will of the United Nations and the vast majority of the international community

I've already answered this twice. See my statement above.

21:members of his cabinet are the richest of any administration in US history. (the poorest multimillionaire, Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her)

I don't see where Colin Powell was always rich. He might have got $200,000 a year when he was a general. While he was working up the ranks, he got MUCH less than that. The Bush cabinet has done a fair job, unlike the Clinton cabinet, mostly Janet Reno.

9: he set the record for most campaign fund raising trips by any US president in US history


Is this really supposed to be bad? :dizzy

[HIM]

Well, honestly you would think that people would have learned form having the 1st Bush in office.. i guess they didnt --and it almost looks like teh americans are a glutten for punishment...i mean i didnt vote for him to begine with.......and all i have to say about it is that Bush is not getting my vote the next time around either...

[nightsavior]

well votinfg for any president is like voting for the lesser of two evils. you're gonna get screwed either way you just gotta be smart enough to realize which president won't frack you over as badly as the other one. there are flaws with republicans and there are flaws with the democrats. i guess i'm more democratic just because i am more liberal and pro choice. republicans seem to be more about making the rich richer while letting the poor ppl or those that live alternative life styles suffer. still the rebuplicans are good at balancing the economy and making logical decisions. repubilicans believe in rewarding hard work though they fail to realize some ppl have major disabilities and can't take on the status quo. the problem with repubilicans is though they reward hard workers,buisness owners,and veterans they continue to cut benefits for those that are disabled and povery striken which is backwards because it is they that need the most help. the democrats on the other hand are more about equality for all the only problem is they are not as organized as the repubilicans so sometimes they make poor choices even though they had the best intentions. the good thing about democrats is they make sure the poor have the help they need HOWEVER democrats have a bad history of failing to recognize and support our men and women in the military. democrats are also alittle too slack when it comes to punishing hard core criminals. pretty much if you had a political group that had the "heart" of the democratic branch and the "brains" of the republic branch it'd be able to bring about alot of good. of course this is only an opinion.

Not a bad statement. It made me respect the Democratic party, at least for a split second. :chuckle I think that Republicans go towards a little more to the poor now compared to the Reagan years, simply because of Bush's tax cuts and Kerry wanting to "increase" taxes. Maybe democrats are better economic wise than Republicans. However, I don't consider that a fiscal responsibility of either party.

Politics itself is just a completly messed up institution. The people who would really do humanity good never get into positions of power.

[nightsavior]

actually ocassionally good ppl do get into positions of power but its VERY rare. also in america only rich white old men from well off families ever make it into the presidential seat. i really want to live to see the day when we have a hispanic,native american,or black president...or a women president for that matter. heck just give me one good president that does the job right!

[Jeff]

I heard that Bush is talking about replacing Cheney, due to his health, with the governor of New Mexico, who is Hispanic. That would be very interesting. I also heard a rumor that Kerry's thinking of getting Hillary Clinton as VP.

[Lancet Jades]

Yeah, having a racial diversity in seats of power would be cool. Especially if they did a good job.

As for Kerry thinking about hillary as a VP...all i'll say is that if it DOES happen, and he's elected, one part of my book will have come true, sooner than i "predicted" lol

exactly. 99% of all politicians are in it for themselves, not to serve the people they represent.
