Top 10 cons:
1. He discontinued Clinton's PAY AS YOU GO system that Clinton used to balance, and keep balanced, the budget = going from surplus to deficits
2. In 1988 for his father, he researched how to 'sound' like a christian in order to win the evangelical vote. He came back and stated a person could win the presidency that way. = fake christian and that is down right dishonest and manipulative (Frontline's show 'The Jesus Factor')
3. He has restarted another cold war by withdrawing from the Anti-ballistic missile treaty in 2001
4. He told the Taliban 'NO' on Sept 18 and 19th, 2001 when they tried to hand over B.Laden. He did this because they wanted to give him to a nuetral country but this meant that he would not be able to invade Afghanistan or Iraq or start his war on terror = he had planned to go to war long before any of this and was determined to make it happen (pbs.org The Newshour archives Sept 18&19th, 2001)
5. He stood by and knew that lies were being told about WMDs but let it happen in order to get the war he wanted. (Frontline's show called 'Missile Crisis')
6. He has ignored our constitution, which he took an oath to uphold, by bypassing rules/laws that force him to keep congress informed. The Supreme Court just got onto him about that.
7. He has been trying to undo most of The New Deal
8. He has not obeyed the rules of the Geneva Convention (S.Court just got onto him about that too) thereby used my tax dollars to commit atrocities and also resulted in our troops being put into more jeopardy = erases our higher moral ground on the issue
9. None of his economic promises have come to pass. There seems to be no accountability for this.
10. His Hitler like belief in the use of propaganda to control the masses disgust me... changing terminology like 'global warming' to 'climate change' etc...
Only Pro that I know of:
- USA funding for AIDs research

Pro's:
1. Very skillful politician
2. Is very gutsy. He took a big gamle in the Middle East with Iraq. If he were to turn out to be right, it would be wonderful. But so far, it seems as if his gamble is going to fail.
3. He has a good education reform plan (No Child Left Behind), but it has been underfunded.
4. He got prescription medical coverage for seniors. The first one to do this.
5. He doesn't waste his time on little trivial proposals (like school uniforms or V-chips in TV's, like Clinton often did), but puts his efforts behind really, really big proposals.
6. he is a really decent human being. A generous man who seems to really care about the country.
Cons:
1. Iraq. He made a big mistake with the pre-war intelligence. He made a big mistake by not sending in enough troops to get the country under control.
2. Can be blind to criticism. He should have fired Rumsfeld long ago.
3. He has an anti-intellectual bent that hurts him.
4. He's too stubborn.
5. He really screwed up the Valeria Plame situation. he basically lied to the American people on the issue. And then he did not follow through with his promise to "deal with" anyone involved in the leak.

Until I found out the big picture in all of this, I backed him 100% and would have laid down my life for my President.
Now, I find out he is Imperialistic and born to be King, not President. Now think about this - when people would get wise to his extinguishing America's sovereingty and causes unnecessary loss of life and teasing enemy countries to restart their nuclear program, and Cheney is cut from the same cloth and just as responsible - and even forces Americans off Halliburton jobs to make room for illegal cheap labor - is it any wonder should he be impeached with Cheney, that the next person in line for President would be Condolezza Rice? A black woman. That is dirty.
And of course in showing his support for our troops by standing with them overseas YOU WILL NEVER SEE BUSH STANDING AND SUPPORTING ANY AMERICAN ATTACKED ON THE MEXICAN BORDER BY THE MEXICAN ARMY AND OTHER MILITANTS.
BUSH HAS DECLARED OPEN SEASON ON AMERICANS.
I openly admit I was duped - and the charade ends by educating his minions and the unsuspecting American people.

Clinton fantastically nicely gutted the militia. bought off the countries reserve oil furnish. We had militia plane that ought to not be flown for lack of money to purchase elements, strive against equipment which couldn't be deployed if we had necessary it because there replaced into no money to fix,shelter or replace it. If we had suffered a substantial attack less than his administration we ought to were toast. Bush has made particular that the militia has been offered with each thing they prefer to artwork jointly the enemy and win. a number of it replaced into sluggish to go back notwithstanding it has gotten there. i imagine that look after the veterans injured has been way too sluggish and too little. it really is getting extra valuable, yet sluggish! the authorities less than Bush looks to make prevailing a correct priority (which it should be) even as having to be compelled into taking duty for searching after those that genuinely confront the enemy. this may also be a correct priority. purely my standpoint.

George W Bush
Pros: Refreshingly Very Honest which is dispised and thought naive by many.
Has core values
Made campaign promises and kept them esp the drugs for seniors we hoped he'd not be capable of enacting.
Cons:
Listens to some of the STUPIDEST CLINTON HOLDOVERS the world has ever seen...and there were and are hundreds of them posing as "wise men".
Occasionally listens to NITWIT Republicans who also give bad advise such as AM-NASTY, ALL Immigrants are hard-working SAINTS and that HUGE LIE...Americans do not want to do landscaping, pick fruit, mow lawns, trim srubberey, build houses at $20 per hour,etc

Pros: Strong on terrorism, strong on the economy. Held the line on tax cuts which is important for the economy and for the middle class.
Cons: Weak on illegal immigration, weak on keeping Congress from overspending, added a trillion dollar prescription drug program to an already-bloated entitlement system, failed to get Congress to fix Social Security.

He's a fundamentalist Christian. As is common with all fundie idiots, they do not recognize the importance of things like facts and data. This administration has shown this to be true time and time again to horrible ends (Katrina, Global Warming, Iraq, etc)
His Christianity is killing Americans.

The Bush administration is the biggest 'con job' ever pulled on the American taxpayers. He's put us TRILLIONS of dollars in debt for an unconstitutional, illegal war that was started for only two reasons: 1) he wanted to 'finish' the vendetta his daddy started in Desert Storm against Hussein, and 2) LimpDick Cheney wants all that OIL swimming underneath Iraq's sands so he and his Exxon-Mobil buddies can get richer and richer and richer. -RKO-

no pros perhaps when he dies of old age and meets god that will be the pro of his life. along with all his terroristic friends.
the cons of bush is the fact that he is alive and brainwashing the american people. i hope he lives a loooooong life because when god gets a hold of him man will he pay.
