Opinion of George W. Bush

[Mint]

Horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible person.

I disagree with many of his decisions, but I think he is a good person, who had good intentions, and deeply cares for this country.

What were his "good intentions" in blatantly lying to the American people to justify sending thousands to their deaths and racking up trillions of dollars in debt for a pointless war in Iraq?

Even ignoring things downing street we're still talking about someone who laughed about someone pleading not to be executed and who used his father's connections to get out of prison for coke while putting record numbers of people there for it. He was always a smug, hypocritical asshole.

So even though he presented totally bogus information to the public and congress, killed thousands of americans (many more in iraq), blew trillions of dollars, and directly contributed to massive anti-americanism it could all be OK if we had another tin pot country on our side in the region? I'm sorry but even assuming the ends justified the means, that still sounds like a horrendous trade off to me.

I don't think he was a SUPER-conservative like many of you imply, though he certainly was center-right. The man was just a neocon, as were many of his cabinet.

If people honestly think that they are pretty ignorant. The largest expansion of government since LBJ, schemes to keep illegal immigrants as 2nd class wage slaves, starting bogus wars to spread 'democracy', bail outs for 'too big to fails', the 'unitary executive'.. Those are not traditional conservative approaches to policy, not in this country anyway. neo-'Conservatism' is a misnomer.
