You know how Democrats supposedly love George W Bush now and Republicans have totally abandoned him?

The disgusting and disgraceful historical rehabilitation of George W Bush, one of the worst presidents in history, continue.  He now sits at 50%, tied with his dad.  Folks, W was a terrible president.  Please see my other thread where I listed the top 10 worst things Bush ever did.

Wait what?!!! But you criticize Trump and support Biden! That obviously makes you a neocon shill who totally loves George W. Bush because jfern and Glenn Greenwald told me! /s

In spite of what Glenn Greenwald claims, Trump is more of a neocon than the Clintons or Obama. Obama negotiated the Iran Deal while Trump pulled out of it and assassinated Solemeini.

Neoconservatism is bad but saying Bush was bad because he was a neocon is a huge oversimplification.  W is bad because he chose to lie his way into a war, failed at that war, and then used torture as a weapon of war.  Doesn't really matter whether or not that war was motivated by neoconservative principles... he was just straight awful in a very non-ideological way.

And he appointed teenager-torturer Mel Sembler to be Ambassador to Italty.

It’s quite something how Fox News went from “Bush is the second coming of Jesus” to “Bush was a Clintonite”.

Also W was someone who you could say made you proud to be an American which is why he is liked as well

George W Bush made the entire rest of the world hate America.  He's surpassed in that regard only by Trump.

I mean the EU deserved the hate Bush gave them , and it’s ironic that a liberal leader went along with Bush FP wise while conservative leaders in Europe didn’t lol.

The EU deserved to be hated for voting against a UN Resolution for the Iraq War?

I sometimes wonder whether or not people in the UK realize that Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld are closer to being Thatcherites than to being Blairites.
