Bush has failed

[Drake Tungsten]

No matter what he does, you win. You get to crucify him.

I'm not sure they really win. Their mindless criticism of anything and everything Bush does may make them feel good, but it really hasn't led to much electoral success for their side. A great number of Americans are turned off by such behavior (myself included).

Incompetence which lead to massive loss of life = mindless criticism?

teh Drakeaverse?

The best part of the Daily Show was when they first played tape of President Bush saying that no one expected the levy to breach. Then they played a clip of levy engineer on August 26, 2005 saying that a cat 5 or 4 hurricane was going to breach the levy.

Which didn't happen, see the other thread.

It's not limited to this one incident. It's been going on for five years now.

And yes, much of the criticism of Bush recently has been mindless. He certainly bears some amount of responsibility for the failures (both real and imagined) of the Katrina rescue effort, but he's certainly not at the top of the chart as far as culpability goes. The failures of the mayor of New Orleans, the governor of Louisiana and the folks at FEMA were far more significant.

Yep and despite this incompetence going on for 5 years now,
there´s still no trial of impeachment

Did you see Stewart's list of Bush **** ups? It's getting quite long now.

What was Clinton's list? Getting a blow job from a fat girl IIRC.

Oh... and did you see what his ***** of a mother said? **** me...

If it where a Democratic in office the Left wing would be doing the same thing. I did not see the other stuff you are talking about. I think that the problem President Bush has is that instead of apointing people to DHS and FEMA who actually know what they are doing, he gives these positions to people who have helped him and have no experience what so ever.

So that was made up? I cannot find the post you are talking could you give me a link? The point though is still valid. I heard on the news experts on Saturday and Sunday saying that the levies where going to breach and that it was going to be a huge crisis.

Oh no I wouldn't. And I think most Democrats have enough of a sense of shame that they wouldn't try defending the man responsible for such an unbelievable **** up.

You're right.

He's been making incompetent mistakes for 5 years now.

Did you ever stop and think that maybe the criticisms aren't politically motivated and just MIGHT have something to do, oh, with someone making mistakes, repeatedly????

Leaders within his own party have repeatedly criticized this man.

Wake up and smell the damn coffee.

Hey, but thanks for being a good soldier. When the battle is over is your house has been blown up all around you, hey, at least you were loyal.

That accounts for something, right?

Right now I dont have any faith in any politician weather they are a democratic, republican or any thrid party. I have seen the same thing time and time again. Most politicians and government officals are more concerned about covering their behind and staying in power then acutally solving problems or getting things done.

If we're talking politicians, and not the electoral base, then I agree with you.

Drake, keep in mind that Bush is a man who has failed at everything in his adult life, except getting elected. He ran all his companies into the ground. He ran Texas into the ground. He's run the U.S. into the ground. Is there anything this guy can't destroy when he get's his hands on it?

With a aporval rate of low 30%, I am sure there are a lot of republicans that are not too happy with Bush.

They predicted the wind combined with the storm surge would breach the levies, while in reality it was flooding upriver after the fact that did it.

It is a few pages back in the Destruction of New Orleans thread.

Does it really make a difference in the end?
