Anyone Liberals hate so much can't be all that bad.



Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum.

Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.

-- Cicero

Since when did you turn into a full-fledged knuckle-dragger? I guess the issues are too complicated for you, so you resort of "us versus them"- again. Seems to be a common failing among authoritarian-types.

A day will come when you, Rap, and Hero will pull your heads out of your butts, see the sun and breathe the fresh air of sweet reason. Not today tho.

I don't think I would classify Bush as a Good President but I would also not say that he was the worst by a long shot. I would say he is mediocre.

But I digress you wanted something good about him.

Bush came out in favor of private retirement accounts. According to the latest Zogby poll, by Cato, 68% of the public support the idea.

(public support in and of itself is not a measure of goodness though. Just saying it is popular.)

What do I admire about Dubya?

Well... to be fair, I admire his ability to tell his left from his right -often in as little as two tries!

I can't help the sinking feeling that my country is now being run by people who read "1984" not as a cautionary tale, but rather as an instruction manual. - Michael Mock

Yeah, because there's a whole hell of a lot he could have done, down in Florida, to stop those planes ( up in Boston, NYC , etc... .) from being hijacked and crashing into the WTC, Pentagon, or a field in Pennsylvania.

You're right, he should have IMMEDIATELY raised his voice, shook his fist in anger and stormed out of the classroom. THAT would have shown those mean terrorist who's boss!


And the reason he couldn't have immediately gone out of the classroom to ATTEMPT to do something constructive was...?

Late night, Brakes lock,
Hear the tires squeal,
Red light, can't stop, so I spin the wheel,
My world goes Black before I
Feel an Angel lift me up,
And I open Bloodshot eyes,
Into fluorescent White,
Flip the Siren, Hit the Lights,
Close the doors and I am Gone

The Band of the week is... Thrice

Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein.

Because he is not a trained search and rescue specialist?

because it's all mashed potatoes from the forehead on back...

The good thing about W's presidency? He got a whole lotta people interested in politics and the government. Folks like me needed to see what can happen when the system is taken over by greedy, power-hungry authoritarian types.

And that ranks as one of the dumbest responses/rationalizations ever.

Sure, he wasn't a search and rescue specialist - he's just the (so-called) leader of this nation, and Commander in Cheif of our forces. Why should he be expected to actually get off his ass when we're attacked?

Anyone slimy neo-cons defend so fervently can't be any good.
