I see what you're saying now.

I was thinking of it as an overall feeling about him or what he's done. I probably do shut out any positives because of my general dislike of him.

Damn eggs! :)

Sometimes, the most malformed threads and polls result in the most interesting commentary.

Carry on, please.

For the record, *I* think that our cardiac deficient VP has had his hand up Dubya's ass for eight years, making his mouth move. Think about it...when have we *ever* had a VP that was less visible, less out there in the public eye? Why is he even there?

Surely his primary job description wasn't "lodge some shotgun pellets in your hunting buddy's ass?" Or face.

I like popcorn...although maybe I shouldn't vote in this poll...being unAmerican and all...

Elspode 02-22-2008 07:12 PM

Are you NON-American or UN-American?

I mean, I like Australia and all...

Aliantha 02-22-2008 07:14 PM

I'm probably both NON and UN. Even if I were a US citizen, some here would call me UN because of the political views I hold.

Personally, I think nationalism should be done away with, even if it takes 1000 years. Of course, we don't want people like Dubya running the world, and breaking it to shit all over again...

Glad that was clear somehow Shawnee.

GW will be the only president in US history whose presidential library is comprised entirely of pop-up books.

His legacy will be, 100%, based on how the Middle East looks in 50 years. Everything else will be a footnote.

That would be the equivalent of Roosevelt taking credit for the 1980's boom. "Reagan did that? Ha! It was my New Deal that made it possible."

It was Carter who forged one of the only lasting Middle East peace accords in the 20th century.

I might give him partial credit for anything in the next 10 years, if someone can point to a link, but if peace breaks out in the next 50 years it will probably have more to do with the next 6-12 US Presidents.

if the middle east is stable in the next 10 years and stays that way for 50 years it will be his legacy.

Shawnee123 02-25-2008 11:55 AM

That's a big giant IF. What will be his legacy in the likely event that peace does not break out in the middle east?

lookout123 02-25-2008 11:57 AM

That he made a bad situation worse. All of the anti-bush jokes and ridicule will be his for all history. he'll be the Filmore of this century.

xoxoxoBruce 02-25-2008 10:18 PM

So far.

Radar 02-25-2008 11:47 PM

I wish there was a choice that said...

George W. Bush is the single worst president in American history. He's violated the U.S. Constitution more than all other presidents combined and caused damage to America that won't be likely fixed for 100 years if ever. He is guilty of treason and not only should be impeached, he should be tried for treason and war crimes.

What does "one of the only" mean?
