Worst. President. Ever.
By on Dec 2nd, 2006 at 7:15 pm
Worst. President. Ever.
Eric Foner, professor of history at Columbia University, in the Washington Post: “Historians are loath to predict the future. It is impossible to say with certainty how Bush will be ranked in, say, 2050. But somehow, in his first six years in office he has managed to combine the lapses of leadership, misguided policies and abuse of power of his failed predecessors. I think there is no alternative but to rank him as the worst president in U.S. history.”

What a legacy
December 2nd, 2006 at 7:23 pmnow isn’t that funny, I just read one of Foner’s books for class.
and going back to the funds being raised for the bush presidential library, it doesn’t matter how many people are hired to gloss over his failures. real historians who know how bad this president is are going to be writing about his failed presidency, and it is their work that really matters.
December 2nd, 2006 at 7:24 pmThis isn’t news… :-D Wait, it’s not funny either. :o(
December 2nd, 2006 at 7:30 pmI am a history buff and when something is so obvious as this, you don’t have to predict. It doesn’t take a phd to know Bush is a disaster.
December 2nd, 2006 at 7:30 pmNo shit, Sherlock……er, Mr Foner.
December 2nd, 2006 at 7:34 pmno shit sherlock….it’s been obvious for a long time…seriously…
December 2nd, 2006 at 7:36 pmwhoa… and 2 years to go…
December 2nd, 2006 at 7:36 pmwill it get to “worstest”?
#4 vwcat
just think of all the phd students who are going to be writing their dissertations on this buffoon of a president. oh man, if anything the incompetence of his presidency has given a boost to political and history phd students who will have a glut of topics focusing on the bush presidency and legacy to write about for the coming decades at the very least.
December 2nd, 2006 at 7:37 pmOf course he is. The only people who still in denial about that are Bush, Dick and Barbara.
December 2nd, 2006 at 7:38 pmHistorians are ready to claim the Vice President Cheney is the biggest dick ever too.
Congrats you two losers for screwing up America and launching us into our twilight 100 years early.
China thanks you tools.

December 2nd, 2006 at 7:42 pmFoner has not misunderestimated GDumbya.
December 2nd, 2006 at 7:46 pmThis was apparent shortly after he was appointed.
He is worse than the worst.

December 2nd, 2006 at 7:52 pm#9 > will it get to “worstest�
Make this ‘The Worsterest’ (So Far)
I smirked when The Economist ran an article about how the Prez still has two years to leave a meanginful legacy (”The incredible shrinking presidency” Nov 9th 2006). They never have harsh words. Back in 2000, they tried to find Good in “Compassionate Conservatism”. Ah well…
Most, however, depends on Mr Bush’s willingness to change his ways. A smaller presidency might be a still more defensive, inward-looking one. That would be an understandable reaction to this week’s “thumpin’†(as he called it), but wrong. As things stand, Mr Bush will go down in history as a president who promised much but achieved little. He has two years to change posterity’s mind.
December 2nd, 2006 at 8:02 pmMaybe the worst.but by God the richest
Bwahahahaaaaaaaa
We Repubs need to raid the “warchest” every 4-8 years to replenish our supply of what makes the world go round.

Tom Tomorrow:
Confirming the obvious …
Anyone who’s spent any time reading right wing blogs already understood this to be true:
Lohse, a social work master’s student at Southern Connecticut State University, says he has proven what many progressives have probably suspected for years: a direct link between mental illness and support for President Bush.
Lohse says his study is no joke. The thesis draws on a survey of 69 psychiatric outpatients in three Connecticut locations during the 2004 presidential election. Lohse’s study, backed by SCSU Psychology professor Jaak Rakfeldt and statistician Misty Ginacola, found a correlation between the severity of a person’s psychosis and their preferences for president: The more psychotic the voter, the more likely they were to vote for Bush.

December 2nd, 2006 at 8:14 pmi doubt even barney could help…
Not only the worst president ever, but possibly the worst world leader in the last 50 years. As if he hasn’t already done enough damage, don’t forget–he has 2 more years to do his worst.
December 2nd, 2006 at 8:14 pmOn 9/11, nearly three thousand people died ghastly deaths and tens of billions of dollars in damage were incurred.
To stave off another attack Bush, invades Iraq BUT inadvertently fathers a burgeoning Shiite fundamentalist republic which has long standing ties to the extremist mullahs of Iran at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives and no less than $400 billion.
In short: 9/11 + Iraq = Bush’s Fundamentalist Islamic Republic
WTF?

I will predict that not only being the number one President for messing up every thing he touches, Duhbya will be the first ex-president to be convicted in US Courts for many felonies and in the world Courts for war crimes. He will attain a place in World History next to Adolpf Hitler. I am ashamed that my Country allowed such a fraud to be perpetrated on the World and proud that I had some small part, albeit one vote, in bringing the useless crazy bastard down. The snowball is growing as it rolls up hill, we must keep it going until it reaches Kansas–Leavenworth that is. We are almost there! Keep pushing.

katy,
First it will get worster. Only after his gone will we have the persepective to pick the worstest moment. (Or should that be ‘worsterest’ El Tonno has me confused now.)
December 2nd, 2006 at 8:52 pmscott d,
I suppose their argument would be the old fallback - “you just hate Bush/America/God”
December 2nd, 2006 at 8:57 pmthis man is the worst thing-person-whatever –
to happen to our Democracy since its inception.
Within 6 years he has almost destroyed Democracy.
Pathetic.

December 2nd, 2006 at 9:02 pmworst, worster, worsterest, worstest, worstestest…
that’s about 2 years worth, i’d say… yeesh…
Both Condi, Wolfie and Bush devoured the neocon classic
The Case For Democracy: The Power of Freedom to Overcome Tyranny and Terror by Natan Sharansky et al.
With his mind made up to transform the middle east into a democratic, peace loving, free market zone (and don’t forget oil hegemony), off they marched like the seven dwarfs, singing Hi Ho, Hi Ho it’s off to Iraq we go, whistling their dogma out their butts.
They’re still convinced that they are going to be seen by historians as visionaries.
December 2nd, 2006 at 9:04 pmPerhaps.
More like hallucinationists.
Oh, yeah and on amazon, customers who bought Sharansky’s pipe dream also bought:

December 2nd, 2006 at 9:11 pmLeavenworth is out should Condi follow W, it is slated to be her Summer/Fall/Winter/Spring White House. There will be enormous savings in fuel expenses and maintenance on Air Force 1 as it will never have to leave its hanger. Last year, it logged more miles than the remainder of the United States Air Force.
worstesterest perhaps?
why not… perfect! … but that is surely the limit!

December 2nd, 2006 at 9:16 pmWallaby - how bout
December 2nd, 2006 at 9:19 pmworstentatious.
The good news is that Bush appears checkmated. If he supports the Shiites, he strengthens Iran; if he supports the Sunnis he gets asked to leave Iraq. If he follows his Dad’s advice via the Baker commission he will have his surrogate daddy, Dick, mad at him. If he follows the Baker commission he will be breaking with Dick, which is close to inconceivable, since I don’t think George has had an original thought in his life. At home, if he vetos minimum wage and Democratic attempts to reign in Iraq spending supplementals, Repugnicants will bail on him, thinking to save their slimy asses in ‘08. Who’s going to support him in attacking Iran? The neocons are all busy pretending they never knew him…
December 2nd, 2006 at 9:31 pmRU
” He was a worstentatious man and the worstesterest President in history.”
katy,
yes Australia. I think you would enjoy it more before you turn to ashes
December 2nd, 2006 at 9:36 pmNot only is w. the worst president in history, I predict he will be the worst we will EVER HAVE, just as Hitler was and will ever be the worst leader for Germany.
December 2nd, 2006 at 9:40 pm#44 Walt
The records will show that a good number of those miles on AF-1 can be attributed to its use as a moving van to transport the Duhbya twins from college to the White House. How much more of our money will be spent to get them home from Argentina?

No, that is totally wrong.
Mr Wolfowitz is a student of Leo Strauss.
Sharansky is way late and far less seminal.
December 2nd, 2006 at 10:39 pmHOOVER?????
You mean the Pres. who presided over the Great Depression???
Bwwaaaahhhh aaaahhh aaahhhhh aaahhhh!
Wow. Good one.
December 2nd, 2006 at 10:39 pmWe all are witnesses to this dubious historical marker.
December 2nd, 2006 at 10:45 pmBush is a bad person.
December 2nd, 2006 at 10:48 pm#41, RUCerious
FYI: 2004 is the date of publication for The Case for Democracy
This is about 30 years after Mr Wolfowitz studied under Leo Strauss, i.e. a major intellectual source of neoconservatism.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4195303.stm
“In July 2002, a month before Mr Bush delivered a key speech on bringing democracy to the Middle East, a number of heavyweights - including Vice-President Dick Cheney and Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz - attended a conference addressed by Mr Sharansky.
Mr Bush’s speech had already been written, but according to the Pentagon’s Richard Perle, cited by Newsweek magazine, “Sharansky provided an important bit of last minute affirmation”.
Now with the book in hand, Mr Bush has described it as summarising “how I feel”, and has urged people to read it. ”
Now stop being such a pompous, know it all ass.
December 2nd, 2006 at 10:55 pmGoods - You sound like a pretty well informed person.
December 2nd, 2006 at 10:57 pmBut your insistence that only Leo Strauss is responsible for the ideology of Wofie is unsubtantiated and frankly, ridiculous.
Lighten up.
You mean we are supposed to be reading links here?
I honestly don`t understand the protocols here.Please explain.

Shut the f*ck up, Vinnie, and get lost.
December 2nd, 2006 at 10:58 pmP.S. Goods - I didn’t mean to imply that the neocon brainwashing of any of those three began in 2004 with their reading of Sharansky, if that’s what you are getting me for.
December 2nd, 2006 at 11:03 pmPeace.
#63, RUCerious
i see your point… i am simply pointing out that
Sharansky is too late to have influenced Mr Wolfowitz who may or may have not devoured the book.
2004 is even after the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Mr Wolfowitz is one who influences and not one who is influenced.
He is a shark.
December 2nd, 2006 at 11:04 pmHistorians are ready to claim the Vice President Cheney is the biggest dick ever too.
Laugh my butt off!

This link indicates they are maybe sibling…
So Sharansky’s influence represents a closing of the circle for the neocons who began battling for their ideas in the late ’70s and early ’80s. Sharansky himself says it is all a continuum, including the cast of characters, among them Abrams, Perle, Defense Department senior officials Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith and Cheney’s chief of staff, Scooter Libby. “If you check their background, most of them were connected either to Senator Jackson or to the Reagan administration or to both,†says Sharansky. “And that’s why, by the way, many of them are my friends from those years. And in the last 15 years, we kept talking to one another.â€
My point (and we can agree to disagree on this) is that people do not stop being influenced throughout their lives…
December 2nd, 2006 at 11:08 pmLaugh my butt off three times!

December 2nd, 2006 at 11:12 pmWell folks, some good thinking here BUT
December 2nd, 2006 at 11:43 pmI would like to make just one tiny remark
about the ‘Greatest Financial Genius’ we
have in the ‘Chapter 11 Hero’ Georgie Boy
and his conartists with the big accounts.
Considering the fact that the world will switch
soon from the Monopoly Currency (should have
Georgies Head on it) aka Dollar to a more stable
and more solid currency which will be EURO
THEN MY FRIENDS THE DEFICIT OF CURRENTLY
8.638 TRILLION WILL BE 11.575 TRILLION DOLLAR.
It’s gonna be our Great-Grand-Children IF to pay off this
intentionally created deficit for the benefit of the ‘poor’
upper ten thousand.And given the unfortunate circumstances that only a miracle like impeachment or
something like this will spare us two more years,
MY PREDICTION FOR THE FUTURE ARE DIRE…
Worst president ever, from day 1, but also most sucked up to president ever — what does that say for the lamestream press? they’re still sucking up to him for some ungodly reason.
December 2nd, 2006 at 11:55 pm#34.
I am continually surprised and disappointed by comparisons of Bush with Hitler. Although dangerous, Bush pales in comparison because…..
1. Hitler’s politics, government, and leadership albeit criminally wrong, was somewhat competent.
2. Hilter actually fought in a war (WW I), unlike the coward Bush.
3. If Bush ran Germany in the 30’s and had a goal to rid the world of Jews, Blacks and any others that the Nazi/Aryans believed were inferior…..
A. The Schwartwald would have been declared an Axis of Evil.
B. Germany would have surrendered to the inferiors and split into 3-4 parts;
C. there would have been no German economic recovery out of the Great Depression except for his rish friends;
D. the peasants would have rushed the house of Bush (i.e. Frankenstein) and all his cronies.
E. Neville Chamberlain would have beat him in an arm-wrestling contest.
If not the worst, surely the most incompetent of all presidents.
December 2nd, 2006 at 11:58 pmDonD,
You beat me to what I was going to write. Darn!
Oh well, here’s a little of what I was going to write. Contrary to what you believe, one Presidential Library will have a new home state:
The George W. Bush Presidential Library
123 Incompetent Lane
Suite Number–IQ 13
LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS
You know— LEAVENWORTH, as in prison.
Wait until Rep. Henry Waxman starts his investigations. As a conservative estimate, I would guess tens and tens of folks, linked to the Bush administration, are going to be spending a little time behind bars at Leavenworth. In fact, many in the Bush family may be calling Leavenworth home.
It’s quite interesting to note that the famed MENNINGER CLINIC, the nationally-known mental health clinic once-located in Topeka, Kansas relocated to Houston Texas a few yeas ago.
Why would the Menninger Cinic relocate to Texas? Why would the Menninger Clinic specifically relocate to Houston. You got! The mentallly ill Bush’s. Mental illness runs in the Bush family. Yes, the Pelps’ family, of Topeka, may be nuts, but they can’t hold a candle to the Bush’s. Not even close.
I fully expect the Menninger Clinic to relcoate back to Kansas when half of the Bush family is behind bars at Leavenworth.
Here’s the kicker. Around six to seven Phelps’ family members work for the State of Kansas–a few in the prison system. THIS IS HILARIOUS. Can you imagine Phelps’ family members being the prison guards to George W Bush, Neil Bush, 41, and a few others.
I sincerely hope Jeff Gannon is one prison cell down from George W. LET’S JUST SAY, GEORGE W. DIED AND HE WENT TO HEAVEN, WITH JEFF GANNON LIVING IN THE NEXT PRISON CELL. At Leavenworth, Jeff doesn’t have to sign in at the White House front desk, he doesn’t have to sneak in through the back door, and he doesn’t have to sneak in when Laura is out-of-town.
The most ideal situation would be to have Karl Rove sandwiched in between prison cells– between George W. and Jeff Gannon. Remember Karl Rove’s words when he was first introduced to George W. Bush, “IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.” No doubt, it was love at first sight when Karl was introduced to, Jeff Gannon.
When one really thinks things over, Laura may not be out-of-town all all. In fact, she may be in Leavenworth, too. I don’t care what anyone says; something ain’t right with her high school car accident. Henry Waxman should open an investigation. He really should because a life was lost, and the police ignored incriminating evidence.

December 3rd, 2006 at 12:36 amPaul,
The press was in a precarious position. They didn’t want to come down too hard on Bush a year or two after September 11, 2001 as our nation was in a state of mourning.
Then, too, there’s the issue of selling papers. Ditto for television revenue. A good third, or more, of the electorate are conservative-leaning folks. Newsweek and Time, once in a while, did have a lead cover story about Billy Graham, and Ted Haggard. One of their bottom lines is making a buck. They couldn’t alienate too many of these conservative folks, and still make a buck.
Since the election, things are changing at a face pace. I dare say that Billy Graham is now more of a villian in many peoples’ eyes than Hillary Clinton. Hillary’s star power is growing day-by-day. Christian fundamentalists’ star power has diminished. Bye! Bye!

she shoulda got wood.
December 3rd, 2006 at 1:45 amYou already screwed up the planet for a couple generations, don’t get greedy.
December 3rd, 2006 at 1:45 amThe Bush family is completely dysfunctional. It’s beyond belief:
1. George W. has been arrested four or five times. His business deals have been unethical. His fabrications about why we are in Iraq are unethical. His faulty miscalucaltions have resulted in several hundred thousand deaths.
2. Neil Bush swindled over a billion dollars from American taxpayers.
3. Columba, Jeb’s wife, was arrested for failing to declare expensive foreign purchases.
4. Noelle’s prescription forgeries.
5. One of Jeb’s son was caught with his pants down in a mall parking lot making out with a girl.
6. Another son of Jeb’s was arrested in Austin.
7. Dubya’s two daughters have been arrested.
8. Neils sexual escapades in Southeast Asia.
9. George W.’s reported sexual escapades at the White House with a male prostitute.
10. The babysitter’s untimely death.
I’m getting sleepy, but these are just a few that immediately come to mind.

December 3rd, 2006 at 3:55 amOnly if Bush gets impeached, convicted and tried as a war criminal. The legacy of GW Bush is part stuff-up, part precedent. The stuff-up can be fixed by just never voting for another “conservative” again, the precedent is far more dangerous. If Bush can get away with this much, what makes you think someone with a functional brain won’t get away with much, much more?
December 3rd, 2006 at 6:12 amall about crooks… cronyism, corruption, lies and more lies
December 3rd, 2006 at 6:42 amABSOLUTELY the worst president ever and a TOTALLY
corrupted congress entrusted for every $1 you make
you get half and we get half. enough to make you
PUKE :(
Worst president ever, maybe, if the US decides to wise up, but the picture is not that bright in my view. Greed, racism, international injustice and xenophobia are still on the rise. Perhaps the only progress we made was in the field of ignorance. Politics is definately back in focus, and politicians are watched closely. The public is gaining wisdom on issues like global warming, environmental pollution, international affairs and conventions, human rights,…. Keep reading those papers and keep that skeptic eye.
December 3rd, 2006 at 8:45 amWorst President Ever….
In case you needed confirmation… according to this op ed piece in the Washington Post.

So Bush’s legacy hinges on Iraq, which is an unmitigated disaster. Instead of being forgiven, like Polk and McKinley, for his phony pretext for war (WMD and al-Qaeda operatives in Baghdad), he stands to be lambasted by future scholars. What once were his two best sound bites — “Wanted dead or alive” and “Mission accomplished” — will be used like billy clubs to shatter his legacy every time it gets a revisionist lift. The left will keep battering him for warmongering while the right will remember its outrage that he didn’t send enough battalions to Iraq.
December 3rd, 2006 at 9:36 amI also think what he has done to the budget deficit is a huge crime. They set out to bankrupt the federal treasury so they could then say about all sorts of social programs — “we can no longer afford that” — all they have done for the last six years is reward their friends with massive tax cuts.
December 3rd, 2006 at 10:01 amNot only is he the worst president ever …………he is also the biggest killer of the 21st century, toturer and thief ever known
December 3rd, 2006 at 10:07 amOff topic- There are many great TP posters from around the world. Question-does anyone have any insight on the Litvinenko deal. If he was targeted to be killed why go to so much trouble to use Polonium-210 ? Are they the same people that killed Anna Politkovskaya? Did Litvinenko accidental kill himself miss handling the Polonium? and if so what was he going to do with it?
December 3rd, 2006 at 10:31 amJoefriday
That story has me feeling that there is a far bigger one on the way. I am not sure what the truth of the matter is, but I feel that Litvinenko was just the tip of the iceberg.
December 3rd, 2006 at 10:54 amHow about worst Evangelical voters ever; worst neocon (for lack of a better term) voters ever; worst Congress ever; worst Supreme Court ever! Bush didn’t do it alone. 50% of the voters supported this man and administration. I think 50% of the US voters owe us an apology and return their tax cuts!
December 3rd, 2006 at 11:07 amThe reality is that this is a failed man, who has had did tracks covered his entire life. He now actually believes all the lies about him and what makes matters worst, he now believe that anything negaive about what he does or if the outcome of his actions are viewed a negative, that it’s not his fault. He will not change in his life time. The only reason he has “friends” is because he has power. He will be a non-person as soon as he leaves office. Except we hope in front of the various world courts where he will be tired for all his crimes.
December 3rd, 2006 at 11:12 amPutin asked Bush what was the best way to intimidate political opponants and Bush said:
“Well anthrax worked to dummy up the media and the Democrats in the run-up to the war, so go with the chemicals and or bio warfare. People will think you are nuts.”

you should copyright that immediately! …i’ve got a feeling that sauce could be a great seller… really!
December 3rd, 2006 at 11:15 amAnyone really notice the title of this thread?
Worst. President. Ever.
A brilliant bit of writing: only William Shatner could play Commander-in-Chief Bush should they ever get around to making the movie:

Brilliant…
The suprise in the middle of each bottle? A fat dollop of marshmallow fluff — otherwise not much substance.
December 3rd, 2006 at 11:26 am2nd thought… so that it has the proper syntax (?):
December 3rd, 2006 at 11:37 amWORSTESTEREST SAUCE… (thank wallaby)…
just a thought… i’ll only take 10%…
Katy, Zooey, we may have a hit on our hands. Have to work on a business plan. And a recipe.
December 3rd, 2006 at 11:43 amthe recipe will be easy… but it has to be great…
December 3rd, 2006 at 11:51 amno offence, zoo, but it’s gotta have “substance” to sell…
i am actually serious about this… (i think)
BnF - be sure you print this all off to be sure you have proof of the original idea!… have TP back it all up!
all future correspondence about this matter should be personal!
And a recipe.

Liquid stupid — distilled from the sweat of Rick Santorum, and LOTS of cayenne.
December 3rd, 2006 at 11:56 am4 out of 4 surveyed in my home agree, Bush is the worst President ever.
December 3rd, 2006 at 12:07 pmFive editorials in Sunday’s edition of The Washington Post argue whether or not George W. Bush is the worst president ever.
December 3rd, 2006 at 12:30 pmFoner’s was only one of them. Some that don’t rate him the worst, still put him pretty close to it.
We are witness to this historical marker - our president is going down as the worst in our nation’s history; a shameful blot.
Our grandchildren will ask us to explain - and future generations will hold Americans of today responsible for being in denial until it was too late.
i like that sauce idea… we could sell it in the library gift shop. remember all your gifts are tax-deductibvle.
what’s this “we” talk, sir? … i’m afraid you wouldn’t approve of my idea for the label… wouldn’t go over well at all in your library… and the thought of YOU making any kind of profit from it is off limits… sorry…
send some of that worstester sauce down to me…
Comment by george bush’s legacy — December 3, 2006 @ 12:35 pm

what do YOU think, BnF?
December 3rd, 2006 at 3:31 pmthis is getting complicated! … too many chefs!
Comment by katy — December 3, 2006 @ 3:31 pm
I’m still trying to figure out where you can get ahold of some of that “liquid stupid” Zooey mentioned! But if we can find that, then I might recommend:
worster = DUMBERYA
December 3rd, 2006 at 5:29 pmworsterest = DUMBERESTYA
worstesterest = DUMBESTERESTYA
“liquid stupid” … i don’t think that would sell well…
it’s readily available free of charge…
oh yea… the “liquid” part… well, that might be a trick…
and, “dumberya…”… now it’s REALLY getting complicated…!
December 3rd, 2006 at 6:25 pmYour “liquid stupid” worsterest sauce could be sold with something on another thread here, called “Bush’s bubbles.”
December 3rd, 2006 at 7:31 pmIf all this wasn’t so pathetically horrible, it could be a lot of fun thinking up Bush products and marketing them.
Well, Marie, there could be the Mark Foley special edition Daily Planner: Every day you get to fill in a new page!
Then there’s the NeoCon SUV. It only makes right turns.
Could it be: Is the Hoover Vaccuum Cleaner Company is applying for a name change?
Bush Light Bulbs: they consume a temendous amount of energy, but produce no light. It’s a perfect combination of boosting energy company’s profits while keeping consumers in the dark.
Bush Toilet Paper: actual parchment, and printed with a copy of the United States Constitution on every roll.

December 3rd, 2006 at 10:40 pmI am LOL!!! I enjoy your wit.
Will your store be local or will you be marketing these on line?
I particularly love the SUV, and the Foley planner with a page for each day.
Something to think about.
Look for national power and telephone outages in 08. Then a pronouncement of martial law because of the ficticous “faux” terrorists.Followed by “suspended elections” until further notice.If you keep people cold and hungry long enough,they will fall in line.
Do you really believe this little weasel and the other “Bush 41& sons” are going to give anything up? I just don`t see them giving up the “prime seat” by any stretch of the imagination.
I think we will see alot more “air accidents” involving democratic senators either before 08 or after.You know how the Bush`s are, having to “thin the field” a little to make it work for them in all 3 branches.
Or perhaps alot of democratic senators will run into “plutonium 210″ /cancer/rolling parked cars “accidents” and “suicides”along the way.Who knows about these evil bastards.(BushCo)
We are ripe for an oligarchy people.And I hope I am just plain wrong.
But given the record of BushCo,I wouldn`t put anything past them.
And what if anything could the American people do about it?Nothing.
I think American troops would have a very hard time,if even at all “killing their own” but I can assure you,UN troops would not!If Bush has done nothing else, he has made the whole world lust for American blood.
And as we know in the UN “money talks.”
Very sad and very scary at the same time.

December 4th, 2006 at 12:31 amQuestion: when are the democrats going to grow some balls and expose this fraud and realize you can’t work in a bipartisan way with these criminals? Why can’t they simply state the truth and say: “You are repugnant criminals, you have soiled what was left of your national honor and we are going to try to undo everything you did for the last six years and we are going to prosecute the hell out of you”.

Why hasn’t Bush been impeached? What will it take? An intern and a cigar? Where’s the justice? I just don’t get these people.

December 9th, 2006 at 11:32 amhmmm….doesn’t look as if you folks know much about history. If you want a bad president, go back one to the BJ that got a bj and got himself impeached…or the guy’s that drug the USA through its worse years since WWII—tricky dick nixon and the incredibly intelligent idiot, jimmy carter–the dork that shoved out the shah and led us into the worst instability, the guy who didnt send the right messages to the soviets and didnt really take on communism, the guy with no ability at either domestic or foreign policy, who pretty much dismantled our military….i could go on…lol ….gwb has had the balls to take on hard tasks, has beaten two opponents in battle, cut taxes, has an economy despite 9-11 that is humming along far outdistancing our competitors….just look at gdp worldwide, unemployment worldwide, inflation worldwide, assets worldwide, and who defends the rest of the world so they dont have to spend money on their own defenses….sorry to disappoint with facts gals..i know you arent used to facts and only like to hear what your “friends” are saying about that mean mean man Bush…ha ha
