I am not particularly fond of his performance as a president. There's nothing I can say that hasn't been said a billion times over, so I'll leave the discussing to someone else.

This has been rehashed enough times that I won't bother with a dissertation on it. Bush has been a lousy president and I'll be glad to see him go next year.

I voted "in some ways", because he's too liberal for me.
Anyone who thinks Bush is far right is naïve.

You've said that before, and I'm not really sure what you perceive as liberal or conservative. I think Bush is an idiot, I'm not too concerned with where to place him ideologically. On what issues do you feel that Bush is too liberal?

He thinks "bi-partisan" means him, a Republican, giving into the left 100% on many crucial policy issues.
He glad-handed liars from the beginning in 2000, and that made me sick.
He seems to think "even-handed" means embracing both the good and the evil ideas.

Bush is a serial killer and war crime offender. If the US weren't the cowards they are by wanting a leading role in NATO/UN but not recognise the Tribunal in The Hague, then Bush would have been long sentenced for war crimes and imprisoned. Bush and the regimes he tries to destroy (Iran, Saddam-era Iraq) are flip sides of the same coin.
And then there's his very contradictional behaviour in claiming to be a Bible follower but meanwhile supporting the death penalty on large scale, there is his hopelessly conservative attitude (eg abortion, gay rights, ...), ... I can go on for a while but it would only irritate me to think of it.
In other words: horrible man in all possible ways and should have been imprisoned long time ago for his horrendous war crimes. The world will be a safer place the day he is out of Washington.

This is not a complaint I have heard very often. Or ever. What issues specifically has he "given in to the left 100%?"

It's no use Orwell. Ragtime's definition of ''Liberal'' is just about everything bad that happens.
Famine? Blame the Liberals.
A war? Liberalism!
Disease? ''Stupid left-wing!'' |

Gasoline was $0.28 per gallon fourty years ago.
Gasoline was $1.43 per gallon when GWB took office in 2000. An increase of about $0.038 (three point eight cents) per year.
Gasoline is now $4.48 per gallon. and increase of about $0.38 (thirty-eight cents) per year since GWB took office.
The rate of increase jumped an order of magnitude under GWB's tender care. This is adversely affecting everything from housing to groceries to employment; making GWB and his arab buddies even wealthier through the profits on their petroleum holdings, while the rest of the world goes hungry.
Thank you, President Bush.

In no way, shape, or form do I support this supposed president. W has shown himself incompetent on a gross scale; it is telling how the Puritan morals still outweigh our ethics when it comes to our leaders. Sad.

Well, he isn't fighting for the fundamentalist agenda that was dangled in front of some voters to get their vote. And he sure isn't a classical conservative going for smaller government. But the old oilman is advancing the interests of the oil companies, the pharmaceutical companies, those in the top 0.5% of wealth, etc. ... these are his core constituency.
I'm not voting in the poll - overall, I think he has been a very poor president. But when he does something good, I will support him. Just a few weeks ago, he signed the bill that (kinda) outlaws genetic discrimination - that was a good thing. |

Support? If he falls down, I would help him up and "support" him if he feels dizzy.
Supportive politically? Nah.
