George W. Bush vs George Washington (GOP only)

[phk]

In poll by Schulman, Ronca & Bucuvalas for Washington College that pitted George W. Bush against George Washington, nearly two out of three Republicans say they would support President Bush even if his political opponent were the father of our country. An astonishing 62 percent of Republicans said they would vote for Bush and only 28 percent said they would back General Washington.

I'd vote for Bush. Washington was the perfect man for his time, but he didn't want to be president, and didn't get much done.

He definitely set tons of important precedents, and that's the greatest part of his legacy, but he wouldn't be in a position to do that today.

I'd vote for someone that did something while president over someone who was a piss poor general and only kept himself alive through sheer luck too.
