A detailed list of the bad things Bush did while in presidency

[johncmcleod]

How about we make a list of all the bad things Bush did, but describe each thing well. Then I can send it to all the conservatives that live in my state. Well, I won't do that but next time someone says 'Bush is a great president' I will swat them down. The main problem when I argue about that topic is that I don't know where to start.

I'll start out with this list. He violated international law and invaded Iraq merely to gain voters (he sent 200,000 troops over there before he started negotiating with Iraq, so whatever happened Iraq would be invaded). He told the public that Iraq wasn't letting inspectors in so it would be invaded, and then Iraq did let them in, but he still invaded. He convinced the public that Iraq would attack us, so we had to get Iraq. Yeah, like a deer is going to attack a wolf. All by doing this he severely hurt America's reputation throughout the world.

I am leaving out anything for this particular decision Bush made?

Bush is a great president.

Gee... yet another let's bash Bush thread...

yawn...

[johncmcleod]

No this isn't just 'another Bush bashing thread', it is the ultimate list. This isn't just 'Bush is bad' this is an intelligent thread with well thought out points. Well, at least I hope it turns out that way.

Bush is a great president... Let's have a Clinton bashing thread instead.

BTW, I live in Boise, how about a Helen Chenoweth bashing thread

Bush hasn't legalized public nudity and marijuana

You're from Boise? You're the first person from Idaho I've met on the forums! Except I'm from northern Idaho, the good part.

Dream on... why should yet another bush bashing thread be any different than the previous ones...

[MattH]

You complain about bush bashing threads, so where are the pro-bush threads

[Japher]

All the bashing ones turn into pro-Bush threads

With all the crap this country has had to endure since his election I think he is doing a great job.

to the recent moves on the war on terror.

[johncmcleod]

I have a dream, that this thread will be different then the other Bush-bashing threads.

Anyway, you gotta love those news videos when they do a story on terrorism or politics or whatever. Where they show that screen 'America on Alert' or 'War on Terror' or 'War on Iraq' and they play that corny sounding news music. I almost fell out of my chair when Jon Stewart made one called 'America Freaks Out'.

Well that's it, he lost my vote.

I was kind of hoping for examples, like 'operation x did so much good' or 'new enviroment policy penalizes polluters', not just thoughts..

Whether pro or bash... they all turn into the same crap.
The rabid anti bush crowd foam at the mouth, and the "he can do nothing wrong" crowd raise to the bait and contribute their own silly nonsense.

The reality is somewhere in the middle. He's done some good stuff... and some bad stuff. Unfortunately, the people on the extremes will not waiver on any issue... continuing to see things in the black and white view only possible from a closed mind.

So what's the point.

I can't name a good thing Ming. Enlighten an extremist such as myself. oh wait... the child internet thingy might be good. I recall he signed some bill that aids in catching pedophiles.
