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

YES HE IS. BUSH IS LIVING LA VIDA LOCA at the expense of the american people.  He is a shiit for brains mediocre piece of president.  He is not even a full man.  He was raped as many members of the Skull and Bones society are, and that's why we call him now Baby Bush or Bushy for cute. \n\nDo you know what's his favorite entertainment now? Playing with Cheney to see who farts louder and longer in the oval room when the CIA recorders are rolling.  Sometimes they soil themselves and call the White House aid to clean saying it was the dog.  Yeah, right. And they didn't even consider James Brown or Eddie Murphy for president.  They would have done better.

I also like him, he is not a pansy like we would have been stuck with if that other idiot would have gone into office, I can say I dont always agree with Bush, but for the most part I like him, and I wish people would just shut the hell up, or get the hell out of my country.

I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY!!! It's about time that someone had the guts to speak up and say it like it is.\n\nGeorge W. Bush...is by far one of the best presidents that we have had the honor of having in office for a very very long time. Yes, he has made some mistakes but what we need to look at is the % of what he's done right vs. what he has goofed on. \n\nI beleive that we did the right thing by going to the Middle East. The TERRORISTS are destroying this country, it's up to us...American citizens. To stand behind our president and give him the much needed support that he deserves. \n\nGOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!! & GOD BLESS GEORGE W. BUSH!!!!!

You know it is really hard to form an educated opinion on him. He is very hard to read. He says he is for a democracy and more freedoms, but some of the things he actually does,\ndoesn't back that up. I'm really undecided on him..... \nbut I do think he bears watching. He is one powerful man\nright now.

I support President Bush.  I respect his office, I believe in his character, I believe he is one of our great presidents.

I have problems With President Bush, but I believe that he has gotten some bad advice and has surrounded himself with people who don't have the nation's best interest at heart.  I voted for him simply because I didn't want Kerry to become leader of the free world.  As for my vote, who knows, it might count, it might not.  I still vote with high hopes and low expectations.

Hmmm... nope I don't HATE Bush.\n\nHe's in a no win situation because he created the situation he is in.\n\nI can't think of a single thing in the last six years that he has done that I agree with.\n\nTo make me happy, he could voluntarily resign the Presidency right this minute and apologize to the world for his stupidity.

I have mixed feelings.  I definately think that the Iraq situation is totally out of control.  But, I think he handled 9/11 pretty well.  No matter how much he tries to connect the two, in my mind they are totally separate things.  I don't think he is to blame for New Orleans (like some people out there do).  I'm glad that Saddam Hussein is out of power, but, sometimes I wonder if the cost of bringing him to justice is too high.  \n\np.s.  I hate it when people just use entirely emotion-based arguments when discussing politics, like when people say, "I hate Bush!  He's so stupid!  etc. etc. etc."  There is a way to discuss ideas about politics and government without losing your cool.  This is also why I hate CNN and FoxNews and all of those other sensationalistic news channels.

I think Bush is a great guy, just lacking the wisdom necessary for being the president.\n\nHe spends money like a teenager with her parents' credit card trying to impress her friends.\n\nHe cherry-picked info to come up with the conclusion he wanted. (WMD's)\n\nHe made very poor decision for appointments (FEMA's Brown)\n\nHis poor communication skills are no match for combatting the liberal media. (And he's has given them a lot of ammunition)\n\nHey, Shepherd - No president has much control over economics.  What little they can do has little or no immediate effect.

I have never met PRESIDENT Bush, so I can't say whether I like him or not.  I'm not intellectually challenged or DEFICIENT (that's the correct spelling, answerman), and actually, I'm not even a Republican.\nHowever, I don't think many people could have led our country better the last six years, except maybe me, lol.  J/K.  I do wish we could raise FDR from the dead though, he would have been awesome right about now!  And, oh yeah, he was a Democrat, not that it matters...\nSo here's why I approve of PRESIDENT Bush as President:\nHe hasn't defended himself on Hurricane Katrina.  Everyone wants to blame him, but really, Louisiana is NOT the only state that was heavily damaged by the hurricane.  What about Mississippi?  Oh, that's right, their STATE government took care of them...and they asked for federal aid immediately.  In New Orleans, it was announced by the mayor, the senator, and the governor that they did not need federal aid the day after the hurricane.  Yet after all hell broke loose, the National Guard was sent in...and quickly.\nThe wire-tapping was a great idea.  Too bad the media got ahold of it.  Why was it a great idea?  Because it allowed the government to listen in on calls placed from known Al Qaida operatives to the US.  They were NOT listening in on Joe Schmoe telling his best friend how much p***y he got the other night, or Jane Doe telling her sister how much pot she smoked.  So, nice job media, ruining that one.  \nThe so-called "leak", which was in fact the disclosure of DECLASSIFIED information.  The CIA agent that was "outed" hadn't been a covert agent for over five years.  Yet President Bush isn't defending himself on that either.\nHe's been accused of "lying" about the WMD's, and yet hasn't defended himself.  I really wish people would get over that one, because no matter how many times they're told that the Democrats "lied", and the soldiers over there (and who were there in the last three years) that have found evidence that there HAD been WMD's also "lied"...they won't listen.\nI could say much more on how he's NOT a bad president, but I'm not going to waste my time.  If some of these people REALLY wanted to know, they would watch FahrenHYPE 9/11 (which disproves much of Michael Moore's lovely\n"documentary"), stop watching Loose Change, and maybe take a look at truthorfiction.com, snopes.com, popularmechanics.com (and search for the story about debunking the 9/11 conspiracy myths), or www.strategypage.com (and search for the story on the War in Iraq).\nHere's what I like about President Bush:\nHe's true to his word, especially away from the cameras.  I've heard many stories about how he shows his respect for our Armed Forces members, has taken the time to pray with someone just because they asked him, given hugs and comfort to those who have lost loved ones in 9/11 and the War...\nOverall, he shows his integrity in private.  That's what matters most to me.  I couldn't care less about how well he speaks (or doesn't, as we all know is true), because that's his public face.\nI like the fact that he illegalized partial-birth abortion within his first few months in office, yet has left abortion alone other than that, even though he feels it's wrong.\nI love the fact that he doesn't listen to the war protesters, and instead listens to the soldiers on the ground.  Most of them say we CAN'T pull out...and we'd better not.  Also, many of them have said that even though they were injured, they would go again and again.  I saw that on, if I remember correctly, CBS news, which, as most conservatives know, leans to the left.  I've also talked to many soldiers myself, and most of them have told me the same thing.\nMost people that have met him say he's not the "bumbling idiot" many think he is.  He's actually ver

How's that for an oxymoron "George Bush thought"

Although there are many questions I have concerning things Bush has done and why I do still like George Bush.  I think people should pray for our leaders and the decisions they have to make.  I hold out hope that Bush is doing everything in America's best interest.

I'm pleased to see a conservative (or anybody, really) who can think for themselves, instead of just believe everything they are fed.  And, yes...I dislike Bush myself, but...I'm a liberal, so that is no surprise.

Yes, I approve of George Bush 110%.\n\nAnd before any of you people start to label me anything, let me just say that I'M A DEMOCRAT. \n\nThe only reason why I support George Bush is because he is actually RIGHT when it comes to fighting the terrorists. He has balls, and he doesn't wait around for crap to happen, he knows what needs to be done and he does it. \n\nThe people who criticize him and claim that he's a "murderer" and say that he "lacks respect for human rights", you all sicken me. \n\nIf you REALLY want to see what it's like without human rights, take a trip to Cuba, China, North Korea, Iran, or any other country where a dictatorship has been in power for the past 10+ years. \n\nDisagreeing with our President is one thing, but to say that he's a murderer is just outright stupidity in my opinion.

Personally, I think the man is brilliant and I wish he could be the next President of the United States...........but I don't think most Americans would elect a black man yet........although I think they would come closer to electing a black man than a white woman.\n\nI'm saddened that George Bush has not only taken our country down in the past 8 years but he has also changed our reputation in the world to other countries.  Our reputation in the world used to be one of freedom and land of opportunity to anyone willing to work hard.  George Bush has changed that reputation to one of "World Bully."   I'm not surprised that most people in the world hate us.\n\nI think Barck Obama could change all that.  I think he could bring back all the things we love about our country and go a long way in mending bad feelings around the world.\n\nIf he does run for President, I hope he doesn't choose Hillary Clinton as a running mate.  Although I'm in the minority of people who actually like Hillary, I know that nothing could make Obama lose quicker than putting Hillary on his ticket with him.\n\nAnyway, back to your question.  I think he is a brilliant man with solid morals and a cool head.  Just what our country needs.\n\nSincerely,\nRobin_in_Tennessee
