Bush or No Bush?

[Mitchell784]

I am new here and figured this would be a good place to make some friends.

But honestly what are your views on George Dubya Bush?

[JacksColdSweat]

:shake:... I have negative views on GW, but he has been improving his decisions lately.

[Mitchell784]

Haha is that shaking head no you dont like him or you think i am the moron?

[Mitchell784]

Ok he has made slightly better decisions but hes still a moron he will wait for the next president to get the people out of iraq how much you wanna bet!

[Justin_stacy]

Bush's likeability is tough. In comparison to our two other choices in the previous elections there's obviously alot to like about him....but as a stand alone figure there's very little to actually like. So I’m kind of in the middle. I’m happy that he’s president instead of (the insane) Gore or (the weak) Kerry, but I’m unhappy with the fact he’s governed like a neocon (or more appropriately a democrat with a gun)….personally if we are going to have a "BIG GOVERNMENT" type leader i would have preffered Lieberman, but with the DNC controled by the extreme left that is still probably unlikely.
But hey maybe we could get him and Zell together for the night and work out another party switch...

[ClapClapSnap]

i voted for the "no he's a illiterate moron" one. because i have a sincere hatred for the man

but i kinda didn't want to pick that one because you didn't put "an"
it's all good in the hood though
:headspin:

[wastedspacejm]

...except that would be even worse. Don't get me wrong, I dislike Bush and everything he stands for, but he's got us too far involved in Iraq to just get everyone out at this point.

[exxxoduss]

...except that would be even worse. Don't get me wrong, I dislike Bush and everything he stands for, but he's got us too far involved in Iraq to just get everyone out at this point.

That is why he said that bush will push it off on the next president to get the people out. i can't stand bush personally. for one, we should have never gone into iraq. i believe that the 9-11 attack gave bush an open door to move in on saddam. make the american public think that he was part of it, when there was no apparent evidence of it. and by saying that he didn't know where bin laden was and really didn't care, and bin laden was the man behind the attack, what a crock of shit that bush didn't care. he should have cared more, and attacked afghanistan and worked on finding bin laden.

[JacksColdSweat]

Haha is that shaking head no you dont like him or you think i am the moron?

haha no your not the moron.

in my own little stereotyped world i saw reagan as a likeable grandfather figure who gives you more advice than anything else. Clinton as the kind of guy i wanted to go out with on the weekends. And Bush as a friend you'd call up and he'd do anything for you, and you'd call him up just to hang out.

sometimes a person who is up for doing "anything" and adamantly sticking to it is not good for society.

definitely not good for a president.

I don't think that him being so hard-headed on issues makes him a good president.

[DanceToThisBeat]

bush sucks! we knew Katrina was going to happen SEVEN YEARS before it did! and iraq?! he never should have sent people over there! and i just couldnt believe this..bush knew about 9-11! the goverment tapped phone lines and they heard it directly from the people! he could haved saved so many lives. I dont get why somebody hasnt assasinated him yet! hes just all about money and not about people. Kanye West was right when he said that bush didnt care about african americans. I think im right when I say that bush doesnt care about anybody except for upper class americans.

As obnoxious as your statement is, I love your avatar because I know someone who has that as a shirt and it is absolutely hilarious.

I love how some people confuse his being stubborn with having conviction.

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

correct english would be "AN illiterate moron"....for us tools who are liberal/illiterate.

Cal, if you don't mind sharing, I would like to know your political stance (Dem. or Rep.) because I have noticed your signature before and forgot to ask. Also, is Gingrich even running in the 08' Election? I believe he is Rep. right?

[ImpulZe]

No, big conservative I dont have a problem voting for a democrat.

Based on my mother's personal experience I have no problem saying that Gingrich is a complete douchebag.

[BrokenWindow]

calsmith is like the biggest republican on the face of the planet. come on, he goes to texas A&M.

I guess you say that because Bush is from Texas. Anyways, have they even narrowed down who is running in 08'?

[gillianhsieh]

I guess you say that because Bush is from Texas.

i actually said it because a&m is a super super super conservative school. i wish i had more words in my vocabulary than "super" to convey how extremely conservative it is. on the other hand, UT austin is quite liberal.

For sure the overwhelming student population is conservative, but as for the college itself I dont think it's reflected in our profs. by any stretch.

hahahahahaha

7 years and the city of new orleans and the state of Louisiana did nothing? You want big brother to help you out but you don't wan't big brother to be able to use surveillance.

7 years? So why didn't CLINTON do anything? Bush has been in office since 2000. 7 years from August 05' is August 98' and Billy Boy was in office.

I don't understand why someone has not assassinated you yet.

[justinevans]

calsmith is like the biggest republican on the face of the planet. come on, he goes to texas A&M.

or he just thinks things through. cal is a moderate conservative. the way you should be.

There are a lot more yes votes than I expected. How odd.

[justinevans]

There are a lot more yes votes than I expected. How odd.

Technically it is 27-23 since there is two no's for some reason.

[lightcollapse]

Technically it is 27-23 since there is two no's for some reason.

yeah, no's are winning. just, the poll creater doesn't know how to spell 'yes' or 'no,' and does not understand there should be only one of each option

[justinevans]

yeah, no's are winning. just, the poll creater doesn't know how to spell 'yes' or 'no,' and does not understand there should be only one of each option

Then again, the 2nd no is just people who do not like him because he is illiterate not whether he is a good president or not.

[ghostyouare]

No hes a illiterate moron.

No, he's an illiterate moron.

[God Samn It]

i voted for he's 'a illiterate moron'

yet whoever did that should know that a would be an, since illiterate starts with a vowel.

:)

a bit hypocritical.

[Nethack]

O.o Why does it matter, it was funny.

[Puff-6988]

I hate bush as much as I hate most republicans, but i hated Kerry and Gore just as much as I hate most Democrats. The only thing Bush has going for him over the other two is that he has a semblence of a personality. Gore and Kerry looked like they were made in a factory.

[whiteboypain]

I don't care for bush , at all.

[whiteboypain]

rock Against Bush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LostSymphonies]

are we talking pubic hair here?

honestly, i dont fully like Bush either
but what i REALLY hate are people that have no idea what they are talking about
all the power to you if you have opinions based on actual facts and truths... but arguing based on repetitious propaganda and things you read is just stupid
he never, ever said saddam was a part of 9-11. get your facts right
people ARE looking for bin laden. get your facts right
however it IS true that bush said he didn't know where bin laden was and didnt care
....not.
where the hell are you coming up with this?
youre just another mouthpiece for the liberal media, spouting crap off that you read without actually trying to learn about it.



bush sucks! we knew Katrina was going to happen SEVEN YEARS before it did! and iraq?! he never should have sent people over there! and i just couldnt believe this..bush knew about 9-11! the goverment tapped phone lines and they heard it directly from the people! he could haved saved so many lives.

I think im right when I say that bush doesnt care about anybody except for upper class americans. You are a complete moron. I was going to disprove all your points, but then my computer locked up and I don't want to do it again. I'll just do the major one:

The wire tapping was started as a result of 9-11. We didn't do it beforehand, and, although there was evidence, both Bush, Clinton, and all the federal agencies involved did not think that something like that could happen in America. Hindsight is always better.


You're a moron.
ill finish up for you

to repeat: you, my friend, are another moron, such as the wonderful man quoted further above

if anyone was to blame for being unprepared, it would have to be the clinton administration. Bush wasn't in office long enough to have any kind of impact regarding security

kanye west is an idiot. hes amazingly talented musically, dont get me wrong, but using his word to back up political arguement makes you seem just as ignorant as him.
bush doesnt control fema. pointing blame at someone like that after such a tradgedy is childish and stupid.
instead of bitching about how bush hates black people and it's all his fault... why didnt you go down there and help yourself? i bet you didnt even get off your lazy ass and make any sort of donation.

and... yea im done.



you can hate bush all you want - please do
just know WHY you do

[pinkjinx87]

I thought Bush was a better choice for president than Kerry. I might not like Bush much, but I cannot stand Kerry.

[FScott]

Doubt we'd be in Iraq

[pinkjinx87]

Doubt we'd be in IraqWhat situation do you think we would be in if Kerry was president? How do you think he would have handled the terrorism?

[ASUFocker]

What situation do you think we would be in if Kerry was president? How do you think he would have handled the terrorism?

Whoah Fayettenam! Regardless of dealing with "terrorism", declaring war on a country unrelated to 9-11 isn't the ideal way of countering it

[GRIFFARD]

I must say he's a complete jackass and I don't support him in anyway, but in our current "situation" in Iraq, Bush is a better choice. He's an idiot though

[pinkjinx87]

Bush is the better idiot.

[pinkjinx87]

Whoah Fayettenam! Regardless of dealing with "terrorism", declaring war on a country unrelated to 9-11 isn't the ideal way of countering itHey Boone. Not many NC people on here.

[Shatter590]

i agree with how he handled the post 9/11 stuff, but declaring war on Iraq? stupid, stupid move.

[justinevans]

Doubt we'd be in Iraq




KERRY VOTED TO GOTO WAR.

[open mind]

not a fan of bush..............george w. bush that is...........

[Trainsaw]

Bush would be lame as shit to hang out with, Clinton now that's someone you want to hang out with.

[Trainsaw]

I thought Bush was a better choice for president than Kerry. I might not like Bush much, but I cannot stand Kerry.
Do you even have a reason that you can't stand him, like policy wise? Or is it just his personality?

[Alex Djaferis]

at this point in time. liking him or disliking him is not the issue. just let him finish his second term and start looking ahead.

i was never a big fan of bush, but there is no sign of it getting any better with the next election. no republican will make the world happy right now. and no democrat at this point in time seems to have what it takes.

the USA is not in good shape

[KarolaBloch]

i support him. he is the president.

[the_champ_is_here]

KERRY VOTED TO GOTO WAR.
at a time when being other than completely patriotic was political suicide.

You kids are all jackasses.

Bush is a good dude, but if you can't see that he's an incredibly irresponsible leader than you're just a fool.

[open mind]

bush may be shitty, but don't kid yourselves people, kerry would not have gotten us out of iraq by now, he might have helped spending and invasiveness (something the republicans are supposed to be for) but iraq will be haunting us for decades, much like vietnem did.

[justinevans]

yeah people don't realize that besides the war and shit...bush is acting like a democrat trying to have more government control.

[dan.is.empire]

i could go the right way here and say i voted "he's an illiterate moron" and further the notion that president bush is the worst president in history and have everyone agree with me and be happy with my vote.


but i'm not.

george bush is a great president. he's making good decisions, yes, some bad i agree. but EVERYONE is going to make mistakes. and the fact that everyone seems to take his speech impediment and ridicule it to death is pathetic.

to those that do not like the president, do us all a favor and stop complaining. he's there til 2008, like it or not, so get used to it.

that is all.

Well said.

[we are cured]

my opinions on bush have varied over the years. but as a liberal i will attempt to give him every benefit of the doubt. i won't even talk about the 100+ republican staffers that stormed into the 2000 florida recount and made a scene, demanding it be halted.

he gets into office and is hit with a recession. bad for a first term president, as people often like to hold current adminstrations liable for economic downturns rather than prior administrations. then he gets 9/11, and i say he gets it because it was a literal gift for his approval rating. marches into afghanistan, succeeds there, and while our projected budget surplus for 2010 had dwindled from a high of 1.2 trillion in 2000, we were still in good shape. then, iraq. hate it or love it, overcommittal in the war literally destroyed any promise of substantial economic rebound after the recession. its easy to monday morning quarterback policy, of course, but economics require both hindsight and foresight. he fucked it up with troop overcommittal.

in my honest opinion, the war in iraq gave bush the best shot to win reelection in 2004. give conservatives a reason to call him a wartime president, and the entire country immediately considers that it's unnecessary to replace him. maybe he was looking to jumpstart the economy...but wartime economies don't rebound the way they used to (see US 1942). too much outsourcing and globalization these days, that we won't be the only ones that see the results of mobilization.

[Dude Love]

The Dude loves the bush.

[fallen to death]

I voted that he was an illiterate moron, which he is, but its slightly disturbing that it is only 1 point higher than liking him. sad. that just goes to show you where this hellhole is going to.......
