...really so stupid that you think President Bush is a worse leader than Stalin or Hitler?\n\nStalin killed over 20,000,000 of his own citizens through starvation and murder.\n\nHitler started the Second World War in Europe and ordered the Holocaust, killing 12,000,000 in the Holocaust and many, many more in the battles for Europe.\n\nAnd somehow, Pres. Bush has managed to kill over 20,000,000 people? He's starved whole states of the US? He's rounded up the homosexuals, Jews, etc and ordered them killed in concentration camps? \n\nGermany lost two million soldiers on the Eastern Front of WWII between June 1941 and June 1944.\n\nAnd somehow, the two thousand US soldiers lost between March 2003 and March 2006 outweigh that?

No, no, no. You see, from my stand point, I've witnessed....Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II, and out of these four I would say Bush II is the worst leader, at least to the point that he has no leadership skills.\n\nNot to mention, he appoints men (Brownie) who have no experiance in their assigned fields to tackle such events as say, a catastrophic hurricane, or even, the little known fact that he said "I'm a uniter, not a divider," well obviously anybody after the 2000 election and 2004 can see that America is a hell of a lot less "united" then before, the state of the union is well---out of hand. \n\n---------------\n\nNow, you seem to like to use the same tactics and discussion techniques a lot of Neo cons prefer to use when discussing what they call "politics" *otherwise known as let's see if we can humiliate that guy so much that he kills himself*...\n\nSaying that Bush II is a bad leader, okay, he is, I think so, why shouldn't I be able to say so? But, lets' see from a historical view, you ought to know the circumstances from which Hitler took the reigns---a massive depression the nation wasn't even 20% up to industrial capacity, people were hopless, defeated and humiliated, not to mention the Treaty of Versailles had limits on virtually every aspect of inter-nation trading, and traveling---Germany was in the shits. \n\nNow, wouldn't you think that someone with the charisma, the unimaginable power to capture someone's lonely soul and throw them into fits of jincoist (spelling?) rage would probably be a pretty good guy? Maybe, and that's what he was (from 1934-38) German persepects....he was the guy who could bring the nation back from complete ruin and maybe rule the world---(very extravagent but it worked). Germany loved Hitler (not everybody of course, but you have to work with me here), he inspired the war effort, his powerful speeches drove woman to put their sons in harms way, he even goverened over the construction of the Autobon...(pretty cool highway these days). From a historical persepective---respecting the occurences that would be later witnessed---Hitler was a good leader.\n\nGeorge, what can I say about George. I guess, he promised the nation a "Compassionate Conservative" approach to politics, (this must mean war, war, war i guess?) and he worked the religious right up to a base that was very powerful in more recent elections (scary folk)...he came at a time, when we had bountiful economic stores, a surplus in fact, and well---one can point out we now have double digit national debt in the trillions. \n\nHe was a good, spirtitual leader, in the aftermath of the 9.11.01 attacks, but one could easily say Hitler was too (remember? he energized a bottomed out nation to become the Nazi war machine we know today?). So Bush II isn't so special, (you could also say FDR post Pearl Harbor), but Bush unlike Hitler, abused his power to his people, "us", we started a war in Iraq on no intelligence, for a number of different reasons (he needed a lot in case one or two turned out to be wrong---that's Rummy's thinking), and he lost the trust of many Americans after Katrina (me) and his statements on Brownie.....\n\nI can't really go into much on Bush II because we need another 30 years to fully study the facts and occurences, but the tide has turned, where 5 years ago it was "unpatriotic" to be against war, now days, its becoming "ignorant" to be absolutley clueless of the situation over there....the unpatriotic thing really paralles the whole totalitarian government theme that Hitler and Stalin both adopted vigoruously. (spelling?)\n\nStepping off the soap box-----Matt

Well now, lets see if we can put a few things in perspective for those among us who are the truly imbecilic, moronic, ignoramuses who think GWB is stupid.\n\nShall we compare what a stupid guy has done to what any of you have done - don't worry this will take about a second.\n\nHere is a guy who, out of of 300 million people, has been selected twice to lead the country and who serves in the most powerful position of anyone in the country.\n\nThe USA is the most powerful, both economically and militarily, country on a planet with over 6 billion people on it. Does that make him the smartest guy on the planet? Probably not. Does it make him smarter than you? Without a doubt. \n\nBut let's continue. Shall we?\n\nWhile you might consider him stupid, he was apparently smarter than the 100 million or so democrats who tried to defeat him in his last 8 elections. Plus, he received higher grades in college than the latest 2 liberal candidates threw up against him.\n\nSo, if according to you he is stupid, how has he also accomplished all of these things against people who you must consider smarter than you or why would you vote for them? \n\nI would challenge you to take a look at your own pathetic, monumentally insignificant and truly worthless life and tell us all what you have accomplished in a way of even the most remote comparison. \n\nThe purpose of the question is to find exactly where YOU must inevitably rank on the intellectual scale in comparison since you have virtually nothing, either in your past or future, which will come close to a single one of gwb's accomplishments?\n\nLooking at it that way, if you consider him stupid and he has accomplished all of these things, it must kind of make you feel about as insignificant and worthless as a drop of water in the worlds oceans. Or, to put it in terms you can relate to, a piece of cow sh*t in the middle of a 100,000 acre pasture.

What other president has had to deal with the issues President Bush has had since taking office? The economy was in a slump, 9-11 in his first year, Katrina, the list goes on. Certainly he has made mistakes, but I don't think his mistakes are enough to warrant "worst president ever." What about democratic presidents that got the US involved in Vietnam with over 50,000 DRAFTED US servicemen dead? I am not a Bush fan by any means and I do wish we had elected a different President, but worse ever isn't fair either.

how's this???? i got offered extra credit if i would go protest the war in iraq.\n\nyes, i have heard bush called every name under the sun in my classes. bush is like hitler. we lost the war. we are lead by a facist regime, and on and on and on. i'm used to it. but i honestly wonder if the previous generation realizes how slanted it is. that we are being "educated" by political activists disguised as teachers.\n\ni even heard once a comparison between the nazis and the confederate army(during the civil war).\n\nfreakin lawyers\n\nanyway...yep i agree with you. hang in their friend. your not alone

I believe that Bush has done and continues to do more damage to this country than any other president in the history of the United States.  He managed to turn unprecedented international support into unprecedented international disdain.  He has invaded a sovereign nation for no apparent reason, overextending the military and diverting resources form the legitimate military campaign (the one aimed at actually finding the people who attacked us).  He sent military forces into Iraq with no viable exit plan (which was obvious to many of us from the start and has since become obvious to most).  He has turned an record fiscal surplus into a record fiscal deficit.  He has trampled, and continues to trample, on the bill of rights.  He has forced congress to approve the appointments of radically conservative judges, who will continue to errode our civil rights for years to come.  He has spent billions of dollars on an unnecessary war while schools accross the country are discontinuing art, PE, music, even science and history classes due to lack of funding; entire schools are closing resulting in larger class sizes; special ed programs are being closing.\n\nOK guys, I don't think the asker meant he *literally* wanted to replace Bush with Nixon, but rather that Nixon did less damage as president than Bush is doing.  I expect he knows he's dead...  Although, I must agree that a dead Nixon would be better than Bush in that at least he couldn't actively harm or nation.  For that matter a grapefruit would make a better president than Bush.\n\n_____________\n>>>Do any of you liberals have an original thought in your head \n>>>that DIDN'T come from moveon.org or Micheal Moore?\n\nFrom what I can tell the ONLY thoughts in your head are "Bush good" and "liberals bad."  My political opinions are based on my personal morals, my own observations, and my interpretation of what I read in the news.  Yours appear to be based on a misguided believe that anyone who did not vote for Bush is a terrorist.  Perhaps there is a reason you feel the need to attack anyone who questions your idiomatic ideology?\n\n___________\n>>>There was a very good reason - Iraq lost a war in 1991 and \n>>>didn't submit to UN inspections for WMD. Even Clinton was \n>>>ready to invade in 1998, where was your outrage then?\n\nYou may note that Clinton did NOT invade in 1998.  If he had, I probably would have been outraged, although as he DIDN'T I can't comment on the exact circumstances that would have surrounded this decision.  You may also note that old Bush chose to withdraw from Iraq rather than overthrow Saddam.  Again, there's a reason.  Besides which, failing to submit to UN inspections may or may not be cause for UN action, but it is not a justification for unilateral US action.  Even Bush has stopped talking about UN inspections and WMDs.\n\nAlso note that this is only ONE of the many atrocious policy decisions for which Bush is responsible.  Apparently you can find no argument with the rest of them.\n\n____________\n>>>No you wouldn't have\n\nYou have no basis on which to determine what I would and would not do.  I would not and do not support the unprovoked invasion of a sovereign nation no matter who happens to be president.  And the fact remains that CLINTON DIDN'T DO IT.\n\n>>>AND SEVERAL OTHER NATIONS\n\nOh, sorry, I forgot Poland.  Seriously, though, we had the UK on our side, and a couple of tiny countries who are dependent upon our financial support, but that's about it.  It was unilateral primarily in that we did not consult with other nations in making the decision to invade, not in that there weren't a handful of other countries fighting along side us.\n\n>>>Don't give me the tired WMD crap either - you know DAMN \n>>>well he had them, just ask the Kurds, "Where are they now?"\n>>>would be

Clinton fired a couple of cruise missiles at Afghanistan and called it good. With so little response to this terrorist attack Osama and his network were of course encouraged to make further and more damaging attacks against America. Perhaps if a meaningful countermeasure had been taken the World Trade Center towers might still stand. All of you out their who ceaselessly bash Bush consider do you really want a president who does nothing leading our country? When we are facing an enemy who will not stop no matter how much we try to placate them. Check out Neville Chamberlain actions towards Hitler prior to World War II. Our current enemy is just as bent on destroying us as Hitler was bent on world domination. Their hatred of us goes back much further than Bush. Do not delude yourself by thinking if we leave them alone they will leave us alone. THEY HATE US BECAUSE WE EXIST, no more no less.

I agree completely with you. \nWho ARE these Bush supporters, all 31%?\n\nIt is just so true that there is a sucker born every minute.\nThey are the world's biggest suckers.\n\nAs shown by some of these sad answers. I feel like tearing my hair out when I read these.\n\nRegarding jymsis's answer below:\n\nShe states: "Every time you gripe about how "you were lied to" you tell every one of our troops that what they are doing is a big waste of time."\n\nWell, no, it is a waste of their LIVES.

Yepper,Bush is a dimwitted version of Hitler(who his grandfather, and probably his daddy too, supported.\n\n andyandy28227, Hitler was a FASCIST, not a socialist.\nya, the Nazis used the word, don't judge a book by its cover. Former East Germany was officially named the German DEMOCRATIC Republic, did that make it a demcracy? of course not. I think you're the one who needs to grow a brain, just as much as Bush does.\n\nrepublicanr...: fascism is EVIL, and against a free democracy.  It even worse than capitalism, both only help the rich.

Not the same thing. I do not stand by Bush in anyway...But last I checked he did not run any rape rooms. Or order the slaying of hundreds (or thousands) of people. Should he be impeached, yes. But killed...no. That is going way to far.\n\nTo your added info:\n What does the acts of another President have to do with this one. Lets go kill the current leader of Germany. Lets hang him and his family because of what Hitler did. While we are at it line up the Japanese and Italian leaders too and go ahead and grab the ruler of China he has to pay for Mao.\n\nTo your second added info:\n\nYou completely ignored my responses. Did you just realize how idiotic your post was or just chose to forget it? Saddam is a killer. Not a simple criminal but a mass murder. If you think he deserves anything other than what he got, you are nuts. And we are not at war with any other nation. Plus, it is not America that passed this rule. Get your facts straight.

I agree with you completly, he has totally ruined our country. It is ridiculous how much of our lives are now controlled by Europe, which is all thanks to Mr Blair. And about America, well Blair is more Bush than Bush is. He has betrayed the cuntry i think.

HAIL HITLER!!! I knew you were a Fascist. What's next killing the Pagans, the Devil Worshipers, the Unchristian and the Judeo Christians? WOW you must have big balls to suggest such a thing. I hope you don't run for office or there may be a lynching. I have one question for you? With all this hate, do you really think your name is your Gods Book?\n\nBright Blessings to all,\nCarlie

Clinton did kill people too . He also was otherwise preoccupied when the terrorists were planning 911. He let Bin Laden go free. More than 40 people who had dealings with Clinton died mysteriously. Bush is A man of integrity. He stopped Saddam before he had his nuclear weapon. Clinton gave away the instructions on how to builds one. Liberals are impossible to deal with. Illogical people are that way. They don't let facts get in the way of a good Bush bashing. I wish they could study your pea brains and figure what went wrong. Aussie chick this is none of your business.

Graig C, I don't believe that Saddam is going to be executed. His next trials will drag on for 2 more years until next president will forgive him. Bush only hyped Saddam's execution before the election for political purposes. Bush can't be charged for mass murdering innocent people and thousands of our troops because of the patriotic act he signed. That was indeed shrewed of the neoconservatives. Yes, Saddam was a bad dictator and perhaps deserves to be killed, but he was not the worst dictator. Why is Bush picking on Saddam? USA built him up and made him bad. Rumsfeldt dealt with Saddam and supported him in the past. USA saved Saddam's butt in the past from many assassinations designed by his Shiites rebels. They gave him all the weapons and chemicals to defend himself from those Shiites rebels. Now because Saddam refused to cooperate with the USA like Qaddafi did and because we need Saddam's oil, so he is no good? What about Sudan's President Al-Bashir, who is killing innocent people left and right in Darfur? What about Libya's president, Qaddafi the horrible dictator? What about Egypt's president, Mr. Mubarak, the selfish bad dictator? What about Syria's President, Mr. Al-Assad, who is killing and jailing his opponents every day? What about Saudi Arabia King and his Sheiks, who hate Christians and oppressing outsiders (not Saudis)? Should we invade their countries and execute those dictators as well? C'mon Republicans, Is this logical? It is fine if you want to bully people around and control the oil resources in the world, but this is not the way to do it. Brutal Military Action as we are experiencing, destroying other countries and killing innocent civilians does not match our Great American Values and Morals. I am really ashamed of our president Bush and his bad ethics. God Bless the USA and our troops forever.

Stalin was definitely worse than Hitler. I think he killed around 20 - 30 million people.
