Who actually believes George W Bush is evil?

Question

This amazes me. I actually saw a skateboard kid with a George Bush t-shirt, and George has devil horns. How many people actually think he is an evil man.

I personally don't. I think he is dealing with a major crisis the best way he can. He is a man of faith and tries to do the right thing.

I would like to hear both points of view.

Answer 1

I agree with you.

He certainly didn't expect what happened in New York (despite the conspiracy theory's) but to his credit, he didn't let it slide on a technicality like some of his predecessors, and he's not changing his position like so many people who had the same information that he did when difficult decisions were made but are now pretending they were duped.

That tee shirt makes me think of the extremist kindergarten graduates in the news, hating because they were taught to hate, desiring death because they are taught that it is right.

Answer 2

He is not evil, remember being president doesn't necessarily mean he is making all the choices. He is just a puppet. The real people behind the decisions are people that funded his administration, the rich and powerful. He is being pressured by both sides. And if doesn't meet the expectations of the powers who put him in office they would just select someone else. Follow the paper trail. All people are good, they make decisions based on two emotions fear or love, the emotions may change depending a given situation, but the base emotion is the same, and Bush fears what would happen if he did not follow the people that put him in the position he is in as president.

Answer 3

I know how stupid this sounds but when George W Bush got elected I remembered a book by Stephen King (I think Anthony Michael Hall now stars in the TV series) where a man shook hands with a potential candidate for president and knew he was evil. I felt that way about him without knowing anything about him and before 911 happened. Now my head is just swimming with what everyone has to say pro and con.....
This was no help, was it?

Answer 4

He created the crisis because he's evil. he lied about WMDs, hes covered up that lying, he's pardoned people who have supported that lying and why is this a problem because 10s of thousands of Iraqis are dead. Forget the Americans 10s of Thousands of Iraqis are dead because Bush lied. IMHO

Oh and as Governor he signed 131 straight executions. Even though some of the defendants seem to have good cause for retrial.

And finally how he acted when talking about Karla Faye Tucker a born again christian. In the weeks before the execution, Bush {a supposed man of faith} says, a number of protesters came to Austin to demand clemency for Karla Faye Tucker. "Did you meet with any of them?" I ask. Bush whips around and stares at me. "No, I didn't meet with any of them", he snaps, as though I've just asked the dumbest, most offensive question ever posed. "I didn't meet with Larry King either when he came down for it. I watched his interview with Tucker, though. He asked her real difficult questions like, 'What would you say to Governor Bush?'" "What was her answer?" I wonder. "'Please,'" Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, "'don't kill me.'" I must look shocked — ridiculing the pleas of a condemned prisoner who has since been executed seems odd and cruel — because he immediately stops smirking.
I don't say Tucker should not have been executed but his attitutde was not that of a Christian, you don't mock someone your gettng ready to execute unless your evil.

Answer 5

i've got not got faith the conspiracy theories so I wont remark on that. you're making some stable factors yet so do quite some the individuals who disagree with you. If all human beings might provide up and picture they might see that the two events had a hand in coming up each of those issues and then they attempt to pretend that they had no longer something to do with it . This factor of properly somebody on your occasion did an analogous factor so why are you complaining is ageing.. we want a central authority that cares extra approximately we the individuals than it does approximately this is events political power.

Answer 6

A fool often deals with a major crisis the best way he can, has faith and tries to do the right thing.

The only benchmark is what kind of result one accomplishes.

Answer 7

Sad to say I have lost faith in GWB and think he's become totally isolated and consumed by the thought of war. I think it's very scary.

Answer 8

i believe hes trying to do the best he can in spite of what hes faced with. i don't think there was really much more he could have done at the time with the intel he was given, hindsight is 20/20 but just because hes president doesn't make him more than one man. i think the fault lies with the other branches, as much has people like to think it, hes not omnipotent, and he does need a good deal of support from other people in Washington to do anything. its the nature of man to always push for something better, thats how we constantly improve our situation, others just follow because their sheep. but honestly, i think people are going too far with it. its one thing to voice your opinion, its another to compare our country's leader to a Nazi, or the devil. people are abusing the first amendment.

Answer 9

I don't necessarily think he is evil, per se, but I do think he is pretty ignorant and has made some REALLY BAD choices in his presidency. I think what offends me most about him is his dishonesty, and that he treats the American public like we are ignorant and can't think for ourselves.

Answer 10

I think he is an arrogant stubborn person who uses his "faith" to fool people. He is surrounded by advisers who seem to only have their best interests at heart.
