(5,812 posts)25. I never believed Bush was a predatory misogynist racist
He was a stupid fool and I despised Bush and Cheney with a passion, but even with the Iraq invasion and his Axis of Evil rhetoric, I do not believe Bush was an Islamaphobe. He was foolish enough to believe Iraq would welcome us with open arms and everything there would work out successfully in just a few weeks after the invasion. He did not despise and scapegoat immigrants and Mexicans either.
Although Bush could be misleading and shady, he was careful in his remarks so he could never be caught in a boldfaced lie and impeached, whereas Dump lies constantly with impunity and so far is getting away with it

If only we could ask all the dead Iraqis about Bush being a decent human being.

Not for nothing, but Obama has killed his fair share of innocent people in the middle east.

DIFFERENT. Trump is batshit crazy - but he, so far, hasn't started a fake war

Worse, much worse. GWB knew he was out of his league whereas DT thinks he's the smartest
