Does ANYONE Think Bush Has Been A Great Leader?





By Patricia Wilson
Snippets From Reuters:

Democratic candidate John Kerry on Tuesday sought the upper hand in his battle over character and leadership with U.S. President George W. Bush, by questioning his Republican rival's honesty on issues from health care to Iraq.

He accused Bush of "immoral" policies that would take money from the Social Security retirement system and transfer it to "the wealthiest people in the country" through tax cuts, but said voters would see through trickery.

Kerry has charged that Bush misled Americans on Iraq, said one thing and done another on gun control and favored the rich and powerful over the middle class and the needy. The Democrat has vowed to be a president who always "tells the truth.'

Kerry questions Bush`s honesty on health care, Iraq

1. Oh, yes, there are some who...
... believe he's been a great leader.

They're called corporations.

9. Good GOD
The only thing this asshole could lead is the line to the bar.
Or the line to the lines.
Or the smoke.
Or whatever other illicit substance was available.

This clown couldn't lead a bowl movement to the small end of the toilet.

Jeez......

10. The megaphone event, standing on the
rubble of the WTC as he manhandled that poor fireman is usually cited as the day he became a "true leader." Putting aside my extreme dislike, I watched it and was horrified that he was having a pep rally on sacred ground - a mass grave.
Think about the repugs' funereal good taste when they carried on about the Wellstone service for weeks. It just doesn't wash, but then everything they do is for entertainment/photo-op "journalism."

15. I know one...
...a rather silly lady who says that if Gore had been president on 9.11 he would have 'surrendered to the terrorists'. They would have 'taken over America' and today 'all women would have to wear burkas' and 'it would be illegal to be a Christian any more'.

From that fate George Bush saved us.

And she votes, folks.

21. Worst = A Thousand Reasons Why ...
Honesty

Bill Clinton was impeached for lying about his sex life. George Bush is applauded for overthrowing two governments (three, if you count Haiti) based on deception. He lied about the threat of Iraq, he lied about the cost, and he lied about the expected outcome. He lied about the purpose of his tax cuts, he lied about education, the environment, energy, and his own past. He lied about the cost of Medicare. Everything he says is choreographed to achieve political gain without consideration for the truth. In Bush's administration, truth takes a back seat to power every time.

The Top Ten Reasons

23. Would you expect a YES from anyone on DU?
first of all - he is not a leader - he is a puppet. Second of all, he is a f'n liar - he will look you in your eyes and tell you a whopper because he cannot tell the differnece between his fantasy and reality.

Two to fail miserably
Three to blow the money on the military and more wars instead
758 sycophants to shill/spin/genuflect/praise our Esteemed Fuhrer for his resolve on Faux/Certainly Not News/MSCNBC/ABC News

37. Bush supporters seem to be like robots...mindless...
...with the talking points, and with irrational fear...well robots don't have irrational fear, but the Bush supporters sure seem programmed and indoctrinated with all the BS, and go right to spewing it back out.
