Lot's of folks say Bush is the kinda guy you'd like to have a beer with at the bar. Problem is, he's the kinda guy who'd stiff you for the bill.
Well, I for one, must agree with Ben, though for different reasons. Bush, you were handed the most powerful empire in history. You have systematically undermined that empire, by destroying Americans' faith in the democratic process, by being asleep at the wheel when the inevitable blowback of empire occurred, by attacking other countries with for no valid reason, and by allowing one of our great cities to drown while you played guitar. You have damaged the American Empire mightily, and it may be decades before it can be repaired, if ever. By doing so, you have given freedom movements around the world a chance to breathe, and maybe make the world a better place. |

First off, tax cuts in America put pressure on Canada to match them, and our tax cuts are funded. So yes, Bush cuts were a good thing for Canada. That's "good" in the same way that Bin Laden thinks Bush was good. Y'know, for his plans, re: recruitment. "Good", for everyone not the United States. |

Bush invaded the wrong country to protect us from those that attacked us, and wore out a whole generation of troops and equipment fixing the country he broke with that. Now the next guy has to go back and get the people who actually attacked us, on Bush's watch I might add. He didn't keep us safe from terrorism, he destroyed both the fiscal and economic systems he received, and he authorized illegal behavior in the form of torture, an act that ruined our reputation and our pride. He permitted moral zealotry to so intimidate the country that we all pulled together to overcome it. He was a bad leader and a bad President and he isn't going to spin his way out of it.
![]() Note: He wasn't "crowned," he was elected by people who trusted him and now feel betrayed. Also Obama did not defeat him directly in an election so the Reagan and Eisenhower comparisons are inapt. |

Wait, what? Bush took the high road? Yes he did.
With the torture at Guantanamo, Which began before him and will continue after him unabated. the culture of nepotism and cronyism that led to Katrina, Yes, with the weather machine that made him direct the hurricane towards "Chocolate town". Let's not place any of the blame on the local authorities who through their decisions made the situation much worse. There have been plenty of hurricanes before and since, but Katrina had a different outcome then most? Maybe that has something to do with New Orleans rather then Bush. the culture of death and humiliation that led to Abu Ghraib Which will continue before and after him unabated. and the early misadventures in Iraq Early because he won. ![]() and the current tragedy in Afghanistan? Ran out of time on the clock. What makes you think it's going to end just because Bush is out? ![]() With the systematic rape and violation of the very ideals of the United States with warrantless wiretapping, constant redefinitions of legality, and support for declarations of who are people granted full rights (vegetables) and who aren't (fags)? Wow, so you believe everyone was once a vegetable and later became a person? And then to cavalierly state, "Bring it on," to have his hatchetmen go out and smear anyone who dared to raise an objection as Anti-American, traitorous, and the like? To say, "So what," when questioned about errors made? There are 10 thousand threads about his errors. This is one saying thanks. If you don't like Bush, then start your own thread. ![]() |

Moral zealotry = Believes in God.
Wore out a whole generation of troops = highest recruitment levels in a generation. Destroyed the fiscal and economic system = longest sustained boom since the 50s. ruined our reputation and pride = help up America's respect. Who's the spinner here? Bush could resurrect the dead, and people would call it necromancy. ![]() Note: He wasn't "crowned," he was elected by people who trusted him and now feel betrayed. Also Obama did not defeat him directly in an election so the Reagan and Eisenhower comparisons are inapt. Ignoring the fact that his vote total went up after 4 years, unlike Eisenhower. |
