Is it actually a good thing that George W. Bush was president for all these years?

Question

To show Americans how damaging neoconservative policies are to America?

Answer 1

No. Even that does not override the damage he has done to our great country and the world. We will be recovering from his rule for many decades to come. Just look at how much he has increased terrorism. Look at the price of gas. Look at our war dead. Look at how much the world hates us. Look at our national spending. Look at our national deficit. I could go on until my fingers fall off, so I'll quit. Impeach our war mongering, war profiteering president.

People like nascarfan make me laugh. Their taxes went up so he could lower taxes for the top 10%. But nascarfan and others of his ilk are too ignorant to understand that.

Answer 2

How could it be good that we're watching our Civil Liberties disappear as around a million people have died in the neoconservative perpetual war for the illusion of perpetual peace. The neoconservatives stand for the ideas of the awful Ingsoc from 1984. War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength.

I guess Black is White to these people. It also can help us understand just how Warren Harding won in 1920 because these are the bad ideas of Woodrow Wilson. The Wilson era saw attacks on civil liberties, wars to "spread Democracy" (which actually led to the collapse of Democracy in all of Europe during the 30s; Hitler and Mussolini; Spain's Communist VS Fascist Civil War; France surrendering and setting up a Fascist puppet government; Britain suspending elections for a decade; even in America, the president tried to pack the Supreme Court, which hadn't been done since Grant packed the court to get legal tender laws declared constitutional even though only gold and silver are legal money under the Constitution, because his policies he got from European dictatorships were declared unconstitutional). We can only hope that the mess Bush has created doesn't include a World War, though I'm certain we're gonna see a Depression or Hyperinflation in the near future.

If the delusional Republicans nominate another warmonger in 2008 (as all of their current candidates, with the exception of Ron Paul, who warned us not to go to Iraq for 5 years and voted against it every single time), everybody needs to vote for the Democrat, even if it is Hillary Clinton (whether or not they're liberal). If the Republicans are stupid enough to nominate another neocon, we need to euthanize the Republican Party in 2008 so that it can no longer poison this country. If the Republicans lost an election unanimously in electoral votes by running on more warmongering, that would destroy them and require a new party to replace them that would hopefully have more sense.

Personally, I would prefer that the Republicans nominate Ron Paul because that would actually make the campaign interesting next year, as we'd have an anti-war Republican and an anti-war (or at the very least somewhat anti-war) Democrat debating domestic, rather than foreign policy. We need both parties to nominate candidates who have respect for civil liberties and whom are reasonable enough to come up with good arguments for their positions. Let's hope that some good does come of Bush's presidency and the Republican Party dumps neoconservatism.

Answer 3

This replaced into had to be pronounced. The Ghetto grasp and his keepers have achieved greater to interrupt the united states than help. yet what the hell have been merely racist that quite are greater disillusioned that Obama is a million/2 black residing off of the backs of the black journey. See Obama on no account had any of the appropriate issues that most of the black community are up against. He on no account had to run the gauntlet to get to college and steer sparkling of computerized weapons hearth to accomplish that. He on no account ignored a meal or had problems with warmth or chilly. His white Grandmother replaced into afluent and would not enable her grandson stay under such situations. So what you have is a usurper of the form pretending to be President. Come this November which will all replace. And Buckwheat would be pronounced on costs come 2011.

Answer 4

I hope we learned our lesson about the neocon hypocrites and also that no President from Texas should ever be elected again. First, there was Eisenhower, born in Texas, who started the Vietnam War, but had no objective or strategy. Then there was LBJ, also born in Texas, who escalated the war. Now, we have the arrogant moron, Bush, a longtime Texas resident, who has squandered our youth and our national treasure dying in the middle of a sectarian civil war that has been going on for centuries. No more Presidents from Texas. We may not be able to survive another one.

Answer 5

All I know is that NASCAR FAN, and his sister AMBER are living in a world of delusion.

I just can't believe how ignorant some people can be.

Unfortunately, it's not a good thing, because Bush has ADDED terrorism activities to the overall global situation (NASCAR FAN - added terror, not defeated it - you must be a clueless child).

And Americans have a short-term memory problem that will allow them to forget this pain within a few short decades.

Answer 6

What would have been the alternative ? Not knowing, and thus making the mistake of trusting neoconservative policies ? Wait a second....we are right back to where we started !

Answer 7

How many think that Al Gore would have made a better president? This was the man who claimed to have invented the internet. This was the man who flunked out of Vanderbilt Divinity School because he was high on pot. This was the man who attempted to swindle the Buddhist priests. And then there was John Kerry, the traitor who testified before a senate committee that the men he served with were war criminals and later admitted to committing the very same war crimes he testified to under oath before the senate committee. While a swiftboat commander he had deserted his crew by using phoney war wounds to cash in on the 3 purple heart rule to return stateside 8 months early from a one year deployment. Because of his antiwar activities, Kerry's picture is featured in a place of honor in the Hanoi Memorial War Museum.

As for a previous post stating that it was Eisenhower who started the Vietnam War, let me remind that poster that the official dates of the Vietnam War is from August 4, 1964 to January 27, 1973. Ike left office in January 1961. By the way, it was Truman who first sent advisors into Vietnam (IndoChina), followed by Eisenhower. It was Kennedy that escalated our presence there beyond just an advisory status.

Answer 8

He's been good for Al Queda - that's for sure.

By the way - is Bin Laden still kicking back at the Pakistan Hilton these days?

Exactly why DOESN'T Bush just walk in and get him anyway?

I mean, we're right THERE on the border.

Answer 9

Everything is going according to God's plan. America is fullfilling its role in prophesy. Unfortunatly that is not such a good thing for Americans.

Answer 10

No reason, no way, no how is there ANY reason that Bush' presidency was a good thing for America.
