How can we respect a leader that is guilty of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and crimes against the Earth. Weather you know this or not, what he did and is continuing to do in Iraq borders on insanity. Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. There were no weapons of mass destruction found or any evidence that there had been. The real horror is that WE used weapons of Mass Destruction on them. The DU Bomb leaves huge amounts of radiation behind with particals so small that they enter the body on the cellular level. Once there they start to genetical alter our DNA. There is no cure. Once infected you are doomed to a slow death. Our soldiers are being exposed to this. The people, the innocent civilians, men, women, and children, now living and those yet to be born in Iraq, are all doomed. This means that Bush has ordered the genocide of an entire race of people. The reports of the babies being born there in the aftermath are that of major deformities so hideous that it is a blessing when they die. It is said that the ground will remain toxic for one billion years. One more point that you should concider is that the dust from these DU Bombs is carried on the air currents, spreading its red death to all corners of the world. Our grandchildren may look nothing like us in a couple generations from now. Kinda makes you think, doesn't it? Still like the bastard?

I don't agree with big spending, but the last time I looked, in the Constitution, the President does not control the national checkbook.

He is not as Conservative with spending as I would like, but what kind of spending would our alternative Hanoi John have done?

This is a trendy list to bash but this one is dead-on. . .Bush hasn't met a spending increase he didn't like. Can we all throw out the myth of him being a 'republican' down the toilet? This is big-government, big-spending, big-ideas-few-results at its highest example. . .no liberal would have the guts to inflate spending by this amount. No liberal would have been so stupid as to invade the wrong nation. No alleged republican has made any real noise about the problems of this administration- and when they do, the party of the 'individual' quiets them down real quick. . .

Spends too much of our money? Yes. A piece of crap? No. Unlike what a Democrat would be doing, however, W can at least be credited with running up a debt for something that is provided for in the Federal Constitution (providing for the common defence). This stupidity about federal programs to help minorities purchase homes and other attempts at social engineering have got to go, though. Rather than spending millions upon millions of dollars attempting to raise the test scores of students from families that are poor and don't speak English at home, invest the money in additional border agents and institute sweeps of neighborhoods with known populations of illegal aliens. We have more than enough money to go around if we limit domestic spending to those who are not in the country in violation of federal laws.

Any president is going to spend our money. I don't have a problem with that since that's how the system works. I think this particular president has spent way too much of our money on all the wrong things, however. (Iraq comes to mind just for one.) And although I think resorting to calling anyone a piece of crap is childish, tacky, harsh, and uncalled for I accept that this member/list-maker has the right to express her ideas any way she likes and using whatever logic she finds appropriate to herself. I don't care about her spelling, grammar, or anything else. I've seen worse here at RIA.

He does, with the help of Congress, but characterizing him as a piece of crap somehow escapes being called extremist. Inane, adolescent whining maybe, but not extreme. Go figure. This will be my only post on this stupid list. It seems that verbally anything goes when it comes to criticizing President Bush, which is what poisons the well of political discussions, and exemplifies the problem with partisan liberals today and why their party is in deep, deep recession. They have absolutely no ideas. Nothing, only dopey criticisms like this. There are many examples where Bush is betraying the constituency that fought hard and effectively to put him back into office. Non-defense spending is one area, Supreme Court nominees appears to be another, along with his involvement in areas which his base believes he should eschew involvement (gay marriage, education funding/tinkering, medicare bill, etc.) yet he ignores traditional republican/conservative issues like border security, lowering taxes, shrinking government influence and interference in our market economy, etc. The democrats, now almost entirely dominated by left wing radicals (but not extremists) desperately need to appeal to a broader cross-section of voters. But, all they can do is slander and slur, demonizing their opponent and, along with him, nearly every wavering moderate republican. Are there no thinking adults remaining on the left? They have so much to work with, yet they take the easy, comfortable, familiar way out. Bush lied (though I don't think he's quite in Clinton's echelon, yet) kids died, let's hold an anti-war protest and tell them to just PULL OUT!! Brilliant. Why don't you re-arrange the deck chairs one more time?

This, I think, is the biggest crime that GWB has committed against the American people. By choosing the politics of pork over the fiscal soundness of the country, GWB has put a tremendous tax on us all.
