liberals and others who wrote George W Bush is the absolute worst president we've had, what makes him down there below the other 42?  I mean, I think he's in the 5 to 7 worst presidents, but not the bottom.

Bush's hammer blows to privacy and freedom are more permanent looking than those of Lincoln, Wilson, and Roosevlet (why many liberals continue to defend this trio is a mystery to me)

heh, good point.
Bush is pushing for a permanent version of the Patriot Act with no sunset provisions.  There're the war, and the huge deficit he's running also.
Reason I say he's not the worst is because there hasn't been any long standing damage to the economy.  The Federal Reseve Act and the New Deal are far more damaging.  I know liberals will say tax cuts for the rich, but that doesn't even come close.

Cummon Texasgurl, bandit, BRTD, the Marxism-rocket guy, jfern, (and others) I want to hear some good arguments that he's the worst president ever.

I don't support making it permanent, but it can easily be repealed at any point in time, or if it's unconstitutional as some claim, struck down in court.

War is waged by volunteers. I'm so sorry you had contribute tax dollars to something decent for once instead of some socialist program.

War is a social program.  It follows the same rules, spend taxpayers well earned money, create a "solution" to a perceived problem, and never get the results you want.   Besides I don't think hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Americans died with any Urban Planning or Fair Taxation program went into place.

Look, I'm only saying it's a liberal veiwpoint. I'm playing devil's advocate to try and get some liberal posts here. I think we should get money back, but the best way to do that is with massive chages in the tax code.  I'm for dimantling the Income Tax completely, you're for the 8.4% flat tax, but even you can agree some huge changes need to be made.  These are changes that the Bush administration isn't doing, that he has the power to do because congress is the same party.
