George W. Bush Superthread

Expirencing hypnotisim from the Moderators for serveral thousand hours Lighthouse now loves Superthreads! Inspired from The Shaws thread I came up with this idea.

http://josefvstalin.com/threads/favorite-leader-of-your-country.3560/page-6#post-160549 - Shaw's Post.

Yay, this was a good idea. I believe most Americans look down on him as one of our worst presidents. I found him to be kinda cool (in a friendly sort of way, not political). I put a lot of fault on Cheney for what happened to America. He would have been a lot better if he sticked with Colin Powell, who I think is one of the best Men/Republicans ever.

I have a sort of soft spot for the work and aid he gave to Africa, he gave some of the best attention to the continent then most political leaders claim they do to there own country, however when it comes to everything else he just failed epicly.

Where do you guys thing we would be right now if bush lost to gore in the 2000 election?

I really don't know much about him, but from what I do know, Bush was the right decision in 2000. Gore probably wouldn't have been so quick to go to war. That is really all I can guess. Don't know much about Gore.

As much as i hate the war in Iraq with a passion, and the american gang culture where imposing on the Iraqi population, and the amount of deaths its caused both sides, no one can argue that Saddam Hussein death was a bad thing because he was crazy, he ethically killed Iraqis, Kurds, Saudis, and Iranians. Set up a brutal police state government that would use torture methods like throwing you into a wood chipper or chopping your balls off or my personally favorite the rat torture. It pains me to think about how much the united states support him during the Iran-Iraq war. I wish Someone would have taken him out sooner; hell be it Iran, USA, or even Israel comes out of no where. (Kinda funny how they both had a common enemy)

However with the death of Saddam Hussein, and the rise of the shia in Iraq i would predict after the united states withdraw from the country, Iran will be right there to fill in the Power. Not to mention that Syria (will not fall) and Alot of countries near Israel are Iran's allie. Its like Iran is reforming the bases of the Persian empire.

So pretty much in my eyes the two things that bush did right where
*The help of Africans
* The death of Saddam Hussein.

"I will fight this evil ones for the cause of fascism" - George W Bush.

HEIL MEIN BUSH.

How many times do we have to tell you America is not fascist?

Imperialist yes, fascist no.

"They want the federal government controlling Social Secrity like it's some kind of federal program"- George W. Bush

It certainly has some elements of fascism, but not full blown on like Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy.

But, yeah. No doubt that the United States of America is extremely imperialistic when it comes to its goals. Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Lebanon, Libya, Syria, etc

If we had gore elected who won the POPULAR vote I may add, this country would be not in such a bad shape, We also would of hopefully had 14 years of Dem. Executives,

Bush cheated in Ohio to win, and he had his brother change the vote in Florida.

Ironically my (former) philosophy teacher said the same thing pretty much happen to Nixon.

The world would be a much more fucked up place. I'd like to see Gore just try to hold things together after the entire world began cracking. Here's a tip, the economy STILL would've crashed under Gore. 9/11, and thus probably a war, would've happened too under Gore. He wouldn't have been a miricle worker.

I don't like bush, and i agree he cheated in the election but between bush and Gore i would rather have Bush any day.

Funny thing is Nixon would have still won overwhelmingly no matter what he did at Watergate.

Nixon is undercredited in the world, oh and im also talking about the 1960 election (which Kennedy only won because of the Kennedy dynasty and that Nixon was a man of the people) Kennedy won by looks and influence.

But thats my philosophy teachers views.

Kennedy was a great president.

edit: is your philosophy teacher a die-hard republican by any chance?

Hates Republicanism with a passion. said that Nixon would have prevented Vietnam, Castro takeing over in Cuba, boosted the economy, healthcare. Pretty much praised Nixon as the greatest person cheated out of an election.
